Is there any chance of Duel, LMS, or Terminator being played on this server?

Tutorial Collection / Re: [TUTORIAL] Getting started with Doom Builder 2 (making maps)

« on: October 19, 2010, 09:12:08 PM »

Really dumb question.

I was wondering if Doom Builder 2 was portable; that is, it doesn't require any device drivers or anything to run.

Deathmatch is portable, I run it off my flash drive all the time!

I got DB2 to work, but I just need to know if it's possible to use it on a different computer or off a flash drive. If not, that's fine, but I won't be able to map as much as I would like.

Thanks in advance.

Help & Editing / Re: Canon vs. Fanmade

« on: October 19, 2010, 08:36:59 PM »

Wow, greenlighted from Mike and Korby! I feel a bit better about this idea now.

The stages are going to be loosely based on the plans I had for my fangame. For instance, Geyser Man's stage will mainly be in a sprawling pump works maze, and the floor of Tectonic Man's stage will slowly shift from side to side. Oh, and if the weapons can be successfully coded into Deathmatch, expect to use Tackle Shell to get to some pretty sweet things in Hermit Man's stage.
Maybe stuff like Sakugarne and Flash Stopper, WE NEED MORE FLASH STOPPER

Oh, and I'm going to be hiding Yashichis too.

Help & Editing / Canon vs. Fanmade

« on: October 19, 2010, 08:24:28 PM »

I was going to get into the editing scene for Deathmatch. You know, we can never have too many CTF maps, am I right?  

The thing is, I was going to make stages based on my Mega Man fangame, and I was going to ask for some help with coding their weapons.

HOWEVER
A lot of you don't seem to think that material that is not canon can be accepted. Hell, many of you hade fanmade SKINS that aren't canon. So why am I going to crank out maps if they aren't going to be used?

For grins, the list of weapons is below. I made descriptions based on how I think they would work in 3D.

(click to show/hide)

Comet Blazer (Meteor Man): Throw a comet in an arc, like an aimable Screw Crusher. The comets don't bounce, but explode on contact with a wall or an enemy to deal radius damage. It's also a Fire-type weapon, so it cuts through Leaf Shield.

Tackle Shell (Hermit Man): Dash forward and plow down all in your way! It's pretty much a beefed-up version of the Charge Kick, with some differences. First off, you dash nonstop as long as you hold Fire. Second, you don't fall while you are dashing, so you can easily cross gaps this way. Third, you can't turn while dashing, so line yourself up before you blast away! Finally, Tackle Shell practically eats weapon energy for breakfast; it will only last about five seconds if used nonstop.

Yo-Yo Tornado (Stratos Man): Fires a tornado that goes forward at first, then turns around and starts going in the opposite direction! The tornado goes about as far as a Shadow Blade and a half, then slows down, eventually starting up in reverse. You can use it as a retreat weapon since it flies backwards. Or, if you fire it forward, the tornado's delay before it reverses can be used as repeat damage to quickly wear down an opponent.

Pressure Clay (Tectonic Man): It's basically a modified Crash Bomb. It shoots a wad of clay that explodes once it hits something. Unlike Crash Bombs (which stick to walls), Pressure Clay will blow up when it hits a wall. It also has slightly more ammo, so you can spam it against a group of enemies before having to get more energy.

Pulse Phaser (Neon Man): A weapon that moves at light speed! It's pretty much the Mega Man version of a gun. Whatever you aim the Pulse Phaser at, it will hit it INSTANTLY. That's right, no projectile delay! It's pretty strong, and weapon energy can be compared to the Ballade Cracker.

Mythril Slash (Dragon Man): The second-best close-range weapon. Slashes in front of the user, doing extremely high damage (about 75%). The range is just a crum wider than the Top Spin, but then again, you don't spin when you use it and you can use the Mythril Slash on ground, sooo....

Shine Force (Angel Woman): Hold the Fire button to become invincible! You don't take damage from enemy attacks, and you can even do damage to other players by touching them or running through them! Stage traps like pits, lava, and Quick Lasers can still kill you though. The Shine Force is pretty much a one-hit wonder, though; with a full tank, it will only last about as long as Flash Stopper.

Pump Marine (Geyser Man): A modified version of Spark Shock. Does a much more respectable amount of damage while trapping the target in a bubble, but it has low ammo as a trade-off. Compare its energy tank to the Crash Bomb.

...SmashBro, Megaman and Bass had 8 stages, 12 when Wily/King/Intro stages are added.
Astro Man and Tengu Man were rehashed into the game. You seem to think there are only 6 robot masters.

Not really. I know that there are "eight" RM stages, but since Astro and Tengu were from MM8, I never really counted them as RMs from MM&B.

Whatever, the point is that I think six RM stages plus the two bonuses would be fine. Just promise me that the museum stage won't have all those moles everywhere!

Oh, and Pirate Man needs his pirate ship DAMMIT

...

That will be all.

EDIT: Going by the 9 maps in a game (8 masters, 1 fortress) Maybe we can have the 6 MM&B masters, two kings and the robot mueseum?

Not neccessarily...

Look at Mega Man 1. Only six Robot Masters. Instead of one bonus stage, we used two bonus stages (the two Wily Hideouts), and it seemed fine.

Now look at MM&B. Only six Robot Masters. I suggested we use two bonus stages (Robot Master Museum and King Stronghold), which would bring the number of maps to eight.

Mega Man 1: Six RMs, eight stages.
Mega Man & Bass: Six RMs, eight stages.

I don't see why we need two King stages, to be honest. Then there will be another stage that Mr. X can whine to us about its crappy layout.

Instead of two King maps, how about one King map and a map based off the Robot Master Museum?

Sorry, I just think that the museum was pretty badass.

Where does King change color at? So far, the only thing that looks like it changes is... his crotch.

Actually Tengu, I was on that server with you and CopShowGuy on Thursday! I was "Dr Mikhail Sergeyvich Cossack" with the Enker skin.

After every match I would go "Russian Power FTW", lol

And I fragged CopShowGuy SO MANY TIMES

Please, God, no, not the tier lists!  The last thing we need is pointless arguing on which weapons are on which tiers.

Mega Man Discussion / Re: Mega Man: Insert Clever Title Here

« on: October 18, 2010, 02:47:22 PM »

Let's just answer both of you guys' questions at once.

First off, there WILL be voice acting. With all playable RMs, there's a very large emphasis on character interaction. And having boss dialogue in text... it just doesn't do justice to their unique personalities.

Pretty much anyone can try out and be a voice actor for any character; it's just a fan game, after all. However, I want Meteor Man to be voiced by Ian Shaggario (aka Shagg (aka "kuposan3" on YouTube)), or in the case that Shagg can't do it, someone that sounds a lot like him. Same thing for Dragon Man and RoahmMythril.

Because there is a large emphasis on voice acting, I don't think that an 8-bit style will work out. I picked up a really nice 8-bit engine from the YoYo Games forums and it has fantastic physics... but, honestly, do you guys think that having good, modern-age voice acting will match up with old-school, retro-style graphics?

I've actually been working out maps and layouts for the RM Stages. All weapons, items, and upgrades in the game have been planned, and I have basic layouts for the RM Stages. I can't really think of good puzzles for the Fortress Stages until the physics and engine are 100% done, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

The ideal perfect solution would be to have a 16-bit engine with MM&B physics (the MM7 physics felt too blocky in my opinion). However, 16-bit sprites are a pain in the ass to animate, and making a brand-new 16-bit RM from scratch...? It's nigh impossible to get something that actually looks GOOD. So, until I figure out what engine would be the best for the project, or (worst case scenario) realize that I may have to make a new engine from scratch, it's just a gigantic blueprint.

And now, for a little more information of the game. I'll confirm that Wily is not the final enemy of the game, as well that the Wire item from MM4 will hopefully be in the final game. Trust me, it will have a use! I promise the Wire won't suck!!

Any more questions or suggestions would be FANTASTIC. Keep 'em coming, guys!

Wily's innocence? That would be a first. No spoilers for you!

Also, like in Powered Up, I'm planning on making every RM playable after beating them Buster Only, even the three secret Robot Masters! Mega Man, Proto Man, Bass, Roll, and Auto will also be playable. That means a LOT of boss dialogue, especially when you fight YOURSELF. Just imagine Meteor Man versus Meteor Man! It would be a nonstop fountain of references and internet memes!

Each character will have (at least) two weapons, and they can buy various things by collecting Bolts from enemies.

At Light Laboratory, you can buy support items like E-Tanks, W-Tanks, M-Tanks (YEAH YOU CAN BUY THOSE) and Eddie. Over at Cossack Citadel, you can buy infinite-use equip items like the Slide Adaptor, Energy Balancer, and Combo Breaker. And, if you collect 1337 bolts, you can purchase Auto for use as a playable character!

Auto is INSANELY overpowered. His standard shot is a punching attack that does absolutely massive damage at close range. Charge up Auto's attack, and he shoots a rocket launcher like in MM8's Rush Jet flying levels. The blast can destroy anything short of a Gamma Mini* in one shot, and the blast radius can go past shields to hit Snipers from behind!

*Gamma Mini: a very small version of Gamma that attacks by shooting a laser out of his chest. He can also try to step on you like a Big Eye. Gamma Mini is the game's "Big Eye impersonator" and usually resides just before a boss hallway.

STORYLINE ADDED

I actually don't have pictures yet. I know what I want the RMs to look like, but I fail at drawing and I'm pestering a friend to draw them for me.
