MMINV08 was a map recently sent to me.. I tweaked it a bit and is pretty good overall.

It's in the MMINVMAPS.pk3 on the website, but it's not the same as what we're using. Ours is more updated... I'll update the mappack later.

My opinion as of v4a:

It lags too much with more than 4 players on many a-server, ala Heatman.

Something really weird is going on. What happens is that it starts to download normally, then it suddenly completes. When I look at the file, it seems to be only partly dowlnoaded. I think either sitcking them all in a pk3 and maybe mirroring it elsewhere is the best thing for now.

That doesn't make sense. I can't mirror it because it's on my webserver.. It's being directly downloaded from the website itself so there's no middleman... But I guess I can add them all into one .pk3. Keryth suggested this, but had no problems.

Will do.

NOTE: Updated MMINV weapons download.

Ashley Xei Boraine - Epicancient:

<<< See, I don't spectate or suicide as an alpha.
I just play my part as the zombie who doesn't want to get killed.
I just don't abuse the no knockback and massive health buff.

She wanted me to post it for her.

^This
So It's no Rulebreak and i can't be kicked or Force Spectated if i dont Infect other's as Alpha.

It's breaking his rule if you spectate because you got infected without trying whatsoever.
It's breaking his rule if you suicide because you got infected (and within some time of being), without trying whatsoever.
It's breaking his rule if you get infected and immidiately tell someone to kill you. This counts as suicide.

I'm not breaking his rule because I will occasionally try and infect people as an Alpha.
Most of the time, I don't, and run around trying not to die. I don't just sit there and tell people to kill me; I do my part as a zombie to not-die.
If people item-1 spam me, I'll try and infect them for being daring.. But then the match carries on.
People think I break his rule because I don't infect people.. But I give people a challenge by being that "moving target" enemy, if you will. Some people enjoy it, but some don't. It's not a bad thing. (I rarely get Alpha status)

My reasoning: As an Alpha, you get no Knockback before infecting somebody else, and a full 1200 health in your health bar. Secondary+ zombies get 400 health, which doesn't last long. Now, I find it somewhat abusive to be an Alpha (moral), and I don't necessarily TRY as one. I'll be perfectly fine ruining some camp spots and going after people as a secondary.. Though sometimes I barely get to move.

Either way, I don't like "abusing" the status of being an Alpha. People whine about it, but I don't care. It's just how I play the role; moving target practice.

For some reason most of the map downloads appear to be corrupted. Most of the maps can't even load due to there being some problem with mapinfo or something. MMINV07 says invalid data for texture, and some just don't work at all, even mine. I can't even open any of the maps in slade.

Really? The only problem I ever had with them was SOME texture problems, the music files being too large in size generally, or some MAPINFO's not existing.
They work for me, but I'll try downloading them from the site and using them.

If anyone else has problems with the map downloads, please tell me.

Note: Some maps (MMINV02 for example) had blatant texture errors that I neglected to fix.
They'll be fixed at some point when I add enemies and items around. For now, just ignore it.

Edit:
I downloaded MMINV07 from the site, and tried it in SinglePlayer. It seems to work perfectly fine for me; nothing wrong about textures or anything. I'll try your map since you seem to have issues with that as well.
Who knows. It might just be your downloads. :
Edit2:
Your map seems to work fine as well.
How did you play these maps? Did you load just one at a time, or all at once? If it continues to be a problem, I'll just put them all in the MMINVMAPS.pk3 and upload that to the site. It usually never failed when all in a pk3.

You know... The Railgun weapon doesn't seem to fit the 8 bits style.

Also, check the Self Destruct. It didn't kill the user here.

Sigh. Self Destruct doesn't kill people if you use "Give All", sometimes. It's because Give All gives you armour, too.

Although, if you're just using the normal fire, it's not meant to kill you. The AltFire of SelfDestruct will kill players no matter what (unless they have guardsphere on for whatever reason). If you're using the AltFire and not using Give All, I'll just have to tweak it a bit so it just takes health, rather than using A_Explode to hurt the player. Doesn't seem like it'll always work.

As for the Railgun, don't blame me. You wanted a railgun and you got it. That's pretty much all we can get in terms of it, without being overdone graphically.

You wouldn't have to, Ryuga.

If you're making a map, all you have to do is make the layout, texture it, and add ONE player spawn. Nothing more.

Unrelated, maybe, note: If you want to look at these maps, check out the Downloads Page on the official MMINV website.

But that would mean releasing all the weapons I've made! I released the first six, albeit edited since... But meh. If you give me the weekend, I'll have all the weapons done and released on the website.

TEASE OF WEAPONS LIST:

(click to show/hide)

-MegaSword
Fire: A short range, ripping sword slash at a decent speed. Possibly good for mobs.
AltFire: A short-time limited invincibility shield. Uses 1/4th of the ammo bar to do.
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 4/10

-RocketJump:
Fire: Boosts the player slightly upwards and forwards; in rapid succession, can cross large areas fast. Ammo usage: 3
AltFire: Similar to the normal fire, but just pushes you forward. (Better for people with lag) Ammo usage: 1
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 8/10

-OmniRocket
Fire: Uses all of the ammo supplied to fire a heavy damage dealing rocket! Has a large blast radius, too. Ammo usage: 1500/1500
AltFire: Fires 10-15 miniature rockets, that deal less damage and have less radius than the normal fire. Ammo usage: 100-150
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 1/10

-FireCracker:
Fire: Shoots a single firecracker. Upon landing, this splits into four. After three bounces each, the new four explode into four more, each. Low damage dealing firecrackers. Ammo usage: 100/1000
AltFire: Fires a rapid-speed, trailblazing (literally) firecracker that is unaffected by gravity! Rips through health successively fast if fired properly. Ammo usage: 10/1000
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 3/10

-SelfDestruct:
Fire: Hurts the player and anything around them in a small radius. Takes 1/3rd of your health.
Ammo usage: 1/5
AltFire: Destroys the player, no matter their health, in a large radius with high damage. Takes all ammo to do, but what does that matter? You'd die!
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 10/10

-RagePillar:
Fire: Shoots a short-range V-formation flame "shield" that rips through enemies. Ammo usage: 5/255
AltFire: Releases 5 side-by-side pillars of flame that travel up to 30 paces before disappearing, ripping through whatever they hit. The longer it goes, the weaker it gets. Ammo usage: 25/255
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 3/10

-PhantomTracer:
Fire: Shoots a ghost-like ball that moves in a spiral formation. Deals extra damage to any flying enemies (x2-4!). Ammo usage: 10/100
AltFire: Same as the normal fire, but moves far faster, and is much stronger. Deals 10x damage to any flying enemies (150 dmg!). Ammo usage: 50/100
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 6/10

-HealOrb:
Fire: Releases a small ball of energy that drops 4 small healths after some time. Ammo usage: 40/100
AltFire: Releases another small ball of energy that drops 1 large health after some time. Ammo usage: 100/100
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 0/10 (To prevent spamming health!)

-ChaosSpreader:
Fire: Acting as a shotgun, this weapon fires 7 bullets in a spread-out formation. The damage it does varies per bullet due to a damage algorithm. 5-20 damage per shot. Ammo usage: 25/100
AltFire: Throws a small grenade that can deal high damage to a large mob of enemies. Detonates quickly. Ammo usage: 60/100
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 5/10

-DrainChip:
Fire: Firing this normally seems like it does nothing.. But on the contrary, it gives you a slight powerup-type effect. After using it, you gain 1/4th of the damage you hit on enemies back in health! So if you hit 100, you get 25 health back. Lasts 5 minutes, or until you die. Ammo usage: 20/20
AltFire: Releases quickly moving gas clouds, that if makes contact with an enemy deals low damage, but poisons them for a short period of time. (Try it on a player to see what it can do!) Ammo usage: 1/20
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 9/10

-LightningRail: (Thanks to xColdxFusionx for making it)
Fire: Fires a lightning-based railgunesque attack that is instant-hit. Does 40-60 damage. Ammo usage: 100/400
AltFire: Requires and uses all 400 of your ammo to unleash 12 seperate railgun shots at enemies. Ammo usage: 400/400
Automatic Ammo Recharge Speed: 2/10

All of these weapons recharge each others' ammo (except for HealOrb) extremely slowly.
That way, you don't have to use the same weapon to get ammo back all the time!

Hope that clears your heads!~

Oh fine, download here.

xColdxFusionx sent me a railgunesque weapon, and it works well.. Just needs some minor tweaks and it'll be fine.

You guys get a railgun after all.

The reason railguns won't work is because we'd have to use A_RailAttack.

This is a premade class-based attack that would require inheritance to use, and even if we do that, it'd keep the sound and graphics, which is unwanted overall.

Enemies I want to see:
Squirt
Lantern Fish (Is it possible to summon Squirts from this thing?)
Giant Escargot (Aim for the eyes!)
Jumbigs (I guess weaker Big Eyes that does more damage.)
Killer Bullet (Never kill one near you)
Suzak & Fenix (This would be a challenging boss fight)

Also, wouldn't 30 maps crash Skulltag?

Squirt. Sure.
Lantern Fish. Maybe. Yes it's possible to summon Squirts from them.
Giant Escargot. D'awww.. A cuddly wuddly snail! Maybe.
Jumbigs. Nope. Not gonna bother.
Killer Bullet. Done.
Suzak & Fenix. -confusion- Probably not.

30 maps? Covered.

Invasion weps, huh.

Well I thought I'd just re-post my crap give a suggestion.
Spoilered to save space in the thread.

(click to show/hide)

Trolling time.


Weapon Name: Return Gale
Color Scheme: I don't really care, make it look snazzy.
Damage: Medium
Usage: Shotgun/Trap/Ripping
Ammo: 14, fills normally
Range: forward range is similar to Shadow Blade.

Notes: Return Gale throws a mini-tornado in front of the user at a distance similar to Shadow Blade. Then the tornado stops.... and starts to move in the opposite direction! The tornado does constant ripping damage so it can penetrate multiple players. When used forward, its continual damage can quickly shotgun someone to death! When used while retreating, its backward motion can deter pursuing players! It's a great weapon all-around!

Return Gale floats in air so if you jump and use it then it stays in air. This also means it's unaffected by gravity so feel free to shoot it across gaps! Just remember to face away from the target if you're going for that ranged attack!

I'm confused. Are we fighting enemies or players here? Surely this idea is of jesting perplexity!
Probably not going to do it since most of these weapons rip through mobs, and I have a shotgun weapon done. (Weapon Numero 10.)

Weapon Name: Photon Pulse
Color Scheme: GOLD Neon Colors, like yellow, green, cyan... etc.
Damage: Medium-High
Usage: Insta-Hit/Ripping/Sniper
Ammo: 28, fills super-sluggishly
Range: to infinity and beyond.

Notes: At first, Photon Pulse seems more like a Doom weapon than a Mega Man one: it does high damage with a lightning-fast projectile. The projectile is more of a beam than a "shot", so if you see something in the distance and you press Fire, the bullet will hit almost instantly. It's a ripping beam, so you can "skewer" two or more enemies with a single blast! It's also wicked strong, capable of 2HKOing someone. Don't get too trigger-happy, though; while you get a lot of ammo with it at first, it takes three small WE pellets to refill ONE shot! It's best to use a W-Tank to refill the ammo gauge if you're in a hurry. The Photon Pulse also has a bit of cooldown between shots, so you can't just spam your lightning blasts non-stop.

D'awww... A railgun. Not happening.

Possibly, but wouldn't that get a bit much? It'd have to be an overly large map, with at least 100 waves.

Weapons, eh? If you want one of mine, feel free to ask and modify at will.

I try to make all these weapons of my own accord. I just wanted Rage Pillar to be similar to YD's Fire Pillar from classes, so... I looked at that and edited as necessary.

I sent the feedback for the first 5 weapons through pm for now.

As for rage pillar...

First off, it seems VERY overpowered, but maybe that's just me. Secondly, I managed to slightly lag single player with it. Not a good sign at all.

Note to people who want to test the weapons:
You have to type "give all" in the console and then type "use bassbuster" in order to switch weapons.

Ehh.. Rage Pillar's not that overpowered, honestly. It had a few nerfs already. It might seem that way on Bots because they have no invincibility frames, where a good few invasion monsters WILL have some invincibility. (And it doesn't hit most flying ones)

As for the lag, I guess I can just speed up the animation of it all. Less frametime, less lag.
