Looks good so far.  Admittedly, the Matasabur? Fan Fiend already had sitting/blowing sprites you could've "borrowed", but it's kind of nice you decided not to go that route.  Now all he needs is about 36 more frames of animation and we'll have another playable enemy!  :D

Good news!  It's fixed!  ^_^  Now people that don't know how to modify PK3 lumps can enjoy the bot, too!  ...provided they know how to install the bot!  XD

I tell ya, Brawlman...  It's one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" sort of things.  Ah well.  The bot is just bonus, after all.  The real meat here is the skin, which looks pretty good.

The download and skin work, but the bot does not.

Nooooooo whyyyyyy!?

Because, as I've said almost a half-dozen times in various other threads, the only parts of files in the "skins" directory that will automatically load into the game are "SKININFO" lumps.  Bots, levels, music, etc. don't automatically load from that directory.

However, your bot works perfectly fine.  He chats, he sings, he laughs, he cries, he dances, he kicks ass.  And he has a funny, fitting Roll comment, too!  Too bad there's no way to see it in the changing room.  Unless you're really clever, like me.

(Hint: It's a faked screenshot.)

The skin itself looks pretty darn good, too.  All the frames are well-drawn and nothing looks out-of-place, despite the fact...well...he's Mario.  In a Mega Man game.  XD

.....i dont even remember adding that.......
update with the whole, hey lets not clear bots http://www.mediafire.com/?n089wqb4pjno5tn

This one still has "clearbots" in the BOTINFO.  Which clears all of the bots.  XP

Help & Editing / Re: Final boss help! (spoilers within)

« on: October 18, 2010, 01:54:50 PM »

Because I have that kind of time, I've made a weapon weakness chart for the final boss.

(click to show/hide)

Phase 1
21 Hits - Hard Knuckle, Pharaoh Shot Lv. 3*, Ballade Cracker*
11 Hits - Atomic Fire Lv. 3* (may pierce for up to 3 hits!)
No damage - Everything else

* = Will need to refill this weapon.

Phase 2
1 Hit - Top Spin
No damage - Everything else

Both Phases
Leaf Shield (worn version only) comically throws him into the ceiling (for no damage), but makes him impossible to actually defeat.

The best way to deal with the final boss might be to do some critical damage with the Atomic Fire, then fire Hard Knuckles as fast as robotically possible.  As others have said, aim for above his head and you should hit him more often than not.  After that, it's a relatively simple matter of using Rush Coil to hop up to his level and Top Spin him into oblivion.

Help & Editing / Re: how do I unlock the 3 hidden skins?

« on: October 18, 2010, 01:16:12 PM »

I hesitate to mention this, but you could actually "permanently" have the skins (and bots) revealed by simply creating the file "Autoexec.cfg" in your base MM8BDM directory and typing the following into that file:

Code: [Select]

reveal Auto
reveal Alien
reveal "Dr. Wily"
reveal WilySkullSuitThat odd one, "reveal "Dr. Wily"", is necessary if you want to reveal the bot with the skin, rather than just the skin.  This is due to the fact the skin isn't simply named "Dr. Wily" or the bot isn't named "WilySkullSuit".

In any case, the Autoexec.cfg will automatically reveal all three skins and bots every time you run the game, that way.  If you rename or delete the file, the next time you run the game, you will lose the ability to choose those skins (unless you already chose one of them and quit the game with that skin on) and bots.

Because Nemesisphere is the name of a song.  I don't think it's the name of the actual space station.

I like to think it is.  XD

Other people see "boxing dentist".  I see "The love-child of Quickman and Metalman".

WHICH ONE OF US IS RIGHT?  X3

Edit: You may want to consider updating your "Brawlmanbot.pk3" file.  In the BOTINFO, remove the line that reads "clearbots".  This does exactly what it says it does; clears the bots.  All of the bots.  But just for that session.  This tends to have dertimental effects on the single player campaign as well as multiplayer skirmishes.

I've gone ahead and expanded on my "custom content" explanation a bit.  Hopefully, it's more informative now.

I'm sure you're not the only person that wishes loading custom content that isn't skins were easier, but what'cha gonna do?  Short of creating this massive shortcut or Batch file, I mean...  XD

You must have picked up Beat, death is in fact enabled for falling off the platform.  I screwed up the Beat check so you just walk on the pit if you have him so it seems like you don't die.

I don't have the glowing sprites for the glowy wall emblems, so I can't make them...well, glow.  I'm not a programmer, so there's no Molmoles.  Finally, you clearly didn't look well enough.

Also, I agree, too many items.  I'll fix it in another release later, but for now, I don't want to throw yet another version up so soon.

In that order:
- Oh.  Yeah, I had Beat.
- That explains that.  You'd think someone would've ripped that by now...
- Aww.
- Probably not.  XD
- Sounds good.

And finally, why not call it "Nemesisphere", after the music track, instead of "Wily Space Station"?  Wily Space Station makes me think of his main base from Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge.

Met Skin v1.5

The old Met skin has been removed and this new Met skin has been uploaded in its place.  The only major change is that it has a secondary coloration on its shoes, now. (The previous skin only had blue, not blue and cyan.)
