MEGAMAN INVASION PROJECTReady to blast some mets?WAIT! I've created a website (yay for old templates..) for the MMINV project, and you can view it
BY CLICKING HERE. This topic will remain in-tact, but the map topic and any others will not. That website will provide every bit of Information you could want about this project, what's been done and what needs done, etc. It also has a list of contributors/credits, so I don't have to add that somewhere on here.
As for other stuff, I'm releasing the 6 weapons I approve of now.
Download hereWeapons consist of:
RocketJump
-Normal fire thrusts the player UP and FORWARDS at 3 ammo per use.
-Altfire thrusts the player FORWARDS at 1 ammo per use.
MegaSword
-Meant to replace the Megabuster, this will be a default weapon.
-First slash (if not held) does 1 damage per tic, up to 5 damage w/ripper.
-Second slash (if held) also does 1 damage per tic, up to 5 damage w/ripper.
-Third slash (if held) does 2 damage per tic, up to 18 damage w/ripper.
-Fourth/Final slash (if held) does 5 damage per tic, and thrusts the player slightly forwards, up to 50 damage w/ripper.
-This is short ranged, and lacks hand sprites. Being worked on.
-Its altfire is an invulnerability shield that prevents ALL types of damage, whether it be a pit, or enemies in general.
OmniRocket
-Extremely high powered rocket.
-Takes ALL 1500 ammo to use its normal shot, which does 300 damage on direct impact, with a large blast radius for decreased damage on distance. Good for mobs or large-HP enemies.
-Altfire takes 150 ammo to use, and fires up to 10 weaker missiles, that fly slower and deal up to 50 damage each. Also has a large blast radius.
FireCracker
-The extremely ranged weapon.
-Normal shot (up to 5 N.Shots) fires an orange napalm, that when touches something for 10 damage, explodes into 4 more.
-Once the next four bounce three times, they'll explode for 7 damage, each exploding into four MORE napalms.
-The third set of napalms explode dealing 3 direct damage and 5 explosion damage.
-The AltFire I cannot describe here. It's a no-gravity propelled napalm that leaves a path of destruction behind it. Just play with it to find out what it really does.
SelfDestruct
-Just what you think it is.
-The normal shot deals 35 damage in a large radius, hurting the player. Up to 3 uses without healing.
-The AltFire kills the user, no matter what, dealing 100 damage in a larger radius. Best used when there's nothing else to do!
RagePillar
-Based off of Yellow Devil's altfire for Fireman in the MM1 classes release.
-Summons a low-ranged spreading fire in front of you at 5/255 ammo per use. Good for close combat. They get increasingly weaker as it goes on.
-The AltFire for this weapon summons 5 pillars side-by-side, that travel 30 pillars' worth before stopping. They great increasingly weaker as it goes on.
Feel free to leave feedback on these weapons if you want. Any more weapon updates and downloads will be on the website.
What is the Megaman Invasion Project?Well, the Megaman Invasion Project is an expansion, or game mode (Whichever you prefer to call it), that has been in the works for quite a few months now. The whole idea is to recreate the Doom-style invasion some of us have experienced, as a MM8BDM extra. Until now, Invasion has not been supported on MM8BDM, hence our working towards making it happen.
Okay, so what is Invasion, right? Well, Invasion is a game mode that pits a group of players against waves upon waves of different enemies. In our case, it's the Megaman family (and others) vs. Mets, Bigeyes, Pipis, and so much more. With a few new weapons at their arsenal, friends to aid them, and their ol' pal Eddie, the Megaman gang will surely be able to fend off a bunch of simple robots. They've done it before after all.. What would be so hard now?
We'll see...This is the topic that can organize everything we're doing to make this become a reality...
First off, we'll need this To-Do list unmucked up. Anyone who is willing to pitch in where necessary and would offer their assistance would be appreciated.
To-Do List:1. Revise enemies and create the 49 planned ones.
2. Music Creation. Needed...

-Mets-
·Chase Met - Chases players.
·Jumping Met - Jumps after players.
·Turret Met - Stationary, rapid fire metool.
·Shimmy Met - Met that slides around everywhere, randomly.
·Super Shield Met - A met that shields more often than it should.
·Train Mets - Mets that ride a train. Most likely going to be defence based, with minor power.
·Helicopter Met - A version-based met that flies around like an annoying wasp. (Up to 5 versions)
·Tunnel Met - A met that digs underground and pops up to shoot. Think of it as a mole.
·Hyper Met - Possibly the most annoying met... A met that is partially invisible, has a lot of health, and high speed. Doesn't ever shield, though.
-Big Eyes-
·Standard Bigeye - Jumps after players. Nothing much more.
·Laser Bigeye - Jumps after players, while shooting one of two lasers.
·Fire Bigeye - Jumps after players, while shooting semi-deadly fire at them.

·Mace Joe - A shielded Sniper Joe that throws Maces around the map.
·Helicopter Joe - A Sniper Joe that fights from the sky!
·Missile Joe - A Sniper Joe whom fires highly deadly missiles that have a huge radius upon exploding. Slow shooters.
·Cannon Joe - Stationary Joe whom fires bouncy rubber balls at players. Doesn't sound quite threatening, does it?
-Various Birds-
·Atomic Chickens - Crazed birds that run around the map, dropping eggs everywhere, that explode after some time.
·Pipi - Those birds from EVERY MEGAMAN GAME EVER that dropped eggs on you.
·Mini Pipi - Tinier versions of the Pipi that spawn when a normal Pipi's egg is broken. Very low health.
·Rocket Pipi - Pipi's that fire homing missiles at you. Learn your surroundings!
·Penguins - Spawned from icebergs all over, Penguins will jump in place while shooting bits of ice and snow at you.
·Tengu Birds - Remember Tenguman? If not, he had some pretty annoying birds. They shoot three projectiles at you, and fly slowly.
-Moby Set-
·Shadow Moby - A transparent Moby whom fires shadow-like projectiles at the player.
·Mini Moby - Anyone who's played the old Invasion knows what these little bastards are. They're no longer overpowered.
·Moby - Moby. It shoots not-so-homing dive missiles. The end.
-Colton-
·Normal Colton - Shoots rapid fire buster shots at the player.
·Fire Colton - Shoots slow moving fire projectiles at players.
·Bomb Colton - Shoots various bombs at the players.
·Ice Colton - Shoots special types of icy projectiles at players.

·Spread Telly - A telly that drops a large shot, which spreads into even more upon landing.
·Explosive Telly - A telly that aims directly at players, trying to crash into them. If they succeed, they will explode for massive damage.

·Bunbi Heli - Like the Blader, but shoots weak bullets while flying, trying to crash into you.
·Picketmen - A special type of Met whom throws pickets at the player.
-Midbosses-
·Eddie - Your favorite little lunchbox is out to get you! Learn how to dodge his pattern based attacks.
·Rush - The dog you love so dear? Well, he's a little angry. I hope you brought your shields!
·Beat - This little birdy went to hell and back just to save your sorry metalic skin. Dodge its pattern-based Pipi-Style attacks.
·Guts Tornado - A tornado of rocks and dust spewn from the mines of Gutsman himself! This will be a very large enemy, that throws guts blocks at random heights, speeds, and distance.
·Cutter Machine - That ol' Rolling Cutter dispenser from Megaman 1. Unfortunately, there's more than just one...
·Biker Gang - A group of rogue Jetbikers are out to get you! Hopefully you can ride the waves like they can.
·Flying Pandita Gang - A group of flying Pandita are aiming to drop bombs on your precious team. Shoot them down, quick!
·Walrus Gang - A group of stationary walruses in the distance summon great waves to crash your party.
·Snakey - That big ol' snake head from MM3 is here, and ready to fight! Unlike that small one in Snakeman's stage, however, this one is ready for you!
·More?...
-Bosses-
·Mecha Dragon - A giant, flying metal dragon is trying to kill you!
·Metdaddy 2.0 - We all know how this one works... Or at least, we should.
·Super Moby - A HUGE, red whale is angry with you. Defeat it before you get destroyed!
·Omni-Colton - The Colton gang leader. He's one tough cookie, and will certainly give you a run for your money.
·Ultima Telly - A Telly? Easy. A giant, fire spewing telly? We'll see about that!
·Centuar Teleporter - A Centaurman who teleports around the map, flashing whoever gets in his way! A long battle ensues.
·Shadow Roullete - Ever fight a shadow of yourself? Me neither, and we'll not start now! Shadow-style characters who look quite familiar join the brawl, using demented weapons close to their original, trying to stop you at all costs!
·More?...
-More Enemy Types Later?-
Lastly, a credits section.
