General Gaming Discussion / Slight oddities in video games that don't make much sence

« on: August 19, 2011, 12:10:25 PM »

Have you ever noticed something in a video game that when you think about it, it doesn't really make much sence? Or there's some sort of secret hidden within the game that you can never find out?

For me it would be in Super Mario 64. At the beggining, Mario gets an invitation from Peach saying "Please come to the castle. I have baked a cake for you". And later on in the ending she says "Let's make a delicious cake!.....for Mario!". Think about that....she says it as if there was never a cake to start with!

Mega Man Discussion / Where do you start first in each game?

« on: August 14, 2011, 06:19:55 PM »

Which robot master do you normally start with in each game? (You don't have to always use the weaknesses cycle so don't worry.)

For me....

MM1: Anyone that isn't Elecman or Iceman unless I want to challenge myself
MM2: Quickman
MM3: Usually Needleman. He's fun to fight buster only! (hard though)
MM4: Toadman because it's a good warmup stage
MM5: Forgot....
MM6: Flame or Plant
MM9: Concreteman
MM10: Blademan, Sheepman or Pumpman
RM4MI: Ringman
MMF: Anyone but Chronoman

What about you?

W.I.P Forum / [Expansion] Megaman Forever

« on: August 09, 2011, 12:10:25 PM »

This is an expansion based on the really awesome ROM hack of Megaman 4 by Matrixz127! If you haven't played it yet, then go play it! It's really good!

The expansion will include 8 new weapons, 10 new maps and a new bunch of skins to play with! But obviously, I can't do this alone and I think it would be fun if we all got involved!

Weapons:
Solar Laser - Done by FiniteZero
Propel Blade - Done by Michael712
Flame Sword - Done by Michael712, but waiting on HUDs and sprites
Toxic Burst - Done by Michael712
Blow Cyclone - Done by Michael712 (Though it might need a few tweaks)
Haze Dasher - Done by Michael712
Jolt Leader - Not done
Deflect Shield - Not Done

Weapon Descriptions:

(click to show/hide)

Solar Laser:
Fires weak lasers and a very fast speed and rate and has a good amount of ammo. It makes an awesome noise too!

Propel Blade:
Similar to metal blade except it doesn't rip thought enemies and it travels a tiny bit faster. Does around 18% damage

Flame Sword:
Very close range fiery blade that can be used rapidly and quickly shreds apart enemies! Has plenty of ammo. Unlike slash claw, this has less range and power, but is much faster.

Toxic Burst:
Launches a big blob of toxic waste which is fired at a slightly random angle and speed. Upon hitting the floor, it splits into smaller blobs that go in random directions at different speeds.

Blow Cyclone:
Fires two tornado things, one forwards and one backwards. If you aim it correctly, they will move towards enemies. The tornadoes do no damage what so ever, but instead they blow enemies around! Could be useful for blowing them into pits or spikes! (Sure you wont get a frag, but the frag that they lose could cost them big time!)

Haze Dasher:
A fast air dash that hurts enemies. Although you are not invincible, you go strait though enemies and can be difficult to hit. Can also be used as a platforming tool.

Jolt Leader:
Fires a thing that looks somewhat like Spark Chaser. In the original, it used 7 ammo, is controlled manually, does lots of damage and carries on until you pause the game or it goes offscreen. In this however, when you fire it, it chases after enemies, going strait through them and doing a lot of damage to them. The more it stays in play, the more ammo you lose. The Jolt Leader will stay in play until you change weapon or run out of ammo.

Deflect Shield:
Upon firing, you hold up a big shield that makes other projectiles bounce of the shield and go back at enemies. It is stand alone, and cannot be using with other weapons and stuff. Every time something hits the shield, you lose one ammo unit.

Okay everyone listen, Megaman Forever has BIG levels in it, so these maps will have to at least be Medium/Large Size! (Guardman's map must be like Mr. X size only bigger!)

Maps:
Grove Robot Facility (Intro stage) - Not Done
Photonman - Done by Duora Super Gyro
Propelman - In progress by KillerChair
Boilman - In progress by Fr3ckGamer
Chemicman - Not Done
Wingman - Not Done
Hazeman - Done by Duora Super Gyro
Chronoman - In progress by Eon_and_Rush
Guardman - Not Done
Offshore Fortress* - Not Done

*This stage appears glitchy in the MMF demo 3, but not the unabridged one. We can use textures from that

Textures that you can use if you're map making:

(Chronoman textures ripped by Lego)

Skins:
Photonman - Done by Michael712
Propelman - Done by FTX
Boilman - Done by FTX
Chemicman - Done by FTX
Wingman - Done by FTX
Hazeman - Done by Michael712
Chronoman - Done by FTX
Guardman - Done by FTX

Special Items:
Sub-tank - In progress by Michael712
Shock guard - Done By Gummywormz
Weapon energy balencer - Done by SickSadWorld
[?] boxes - Done by SickSadWorld
Shiny chip thing - In Progress by Michael712
Rush Star thing - In Progress by Michael712
Rush Marine - Not Done

Other Stuff:
Bonus Game - Reserved By Michael712

The music has already been done by me! Don't bother making a music pack!

Contribute! Your help is what we need to make this a successful expansion!

Anything Goes / Will be gone for two weeks!

« on: July 22, 2011, 09:06:35 AM »

Sorry if this isn't a good idea to post this but, I thought it might be worth letting everyone know.

Starting this Sunday (24th July) I will be going on holiday for two whole weeks! During this time I will NOT be able to play or check the forums regularly like I always do now. (I wont be here at all actually).

After I get back, I will carry on with M-Pack7 and the Photonman skin as well as starting a good idea for a 3-way CTF map!

As I wont be hosting servers, I'd like it if someone hosted my force beam frenzy mode every now and again until I get back! Since I'm away, I can't host it!

I think this is all I need to say. So when it comes to (around) 12pm on Sunday you will have to live without me for a bit. Bye everyone!

EDIT: Oh yeah, don't start a Megaman Forever Expansion! I am going to do that!

Help & Editing / Odd compiling error with the compiling thing

« on: June 27, 2011, 03:41:24 PM »

--Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I don't know where else to put it--

Okay, so I'm making a new weapon at the moment and I've put in the colours for it but for some reason there is a problem. Since it is the WColours lump, it must be compiled and that is what I'm trying to do however, unlike the Force Beam Gun that I made, I am getting a strange error this time.

Look at this picture. Take a good look at line 147 and the lines surrounding it

(click to show/hide)

But when I try to compile this lump I get this error:

(click to show/hide)

All that I have changed in this lump is adding the MM7 colours and codes and putting in 2 new colours for my weapon. So why does it have this weird error to do with atomic fire?

Anything Goes / Cutstuff Cracker Jokes!

« on: June 18, 2011, 03:57:18 PM »

Got a joke you want to share with us that you made? Put it here!

It must be something similar that you would get out of a Christmas cracker. You know....short but a bit cheap. (Although it doesn't have to be)

Place it like this:

Answer

It must be slightly short and can be as cheesy as you want but don't go too far and make sure it is funny! [If this is a terrible idea then please lock it]

DECORATE and ACS Modifications / Michael712's Secret Nuclear Bunker

« on: June 12, 2011, 12:05:49 PM »

Congratulations! You have successfully entered the place where I store all my valuable weapons and other things that are somewhat made to destroy stuff. As a reward for finding this, you may take a look round and retrieve whatever of my weapons you would like to use.

29/07/2015 Update - Since I've made a new thing, this post has been resorted and stuff has either been or will be updated depending on when you read this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Weapons-

Force Beam Gun

(click to show/hide)

Force Beam Gun!
That's right! With this weapon with you, you can launch those lazors from quickman's stage strait at your enemies! Remember that it's not meant to be balanced, but more fun.



-255% damage
-Goes strait through enemies
-Same speed as the force beams in Quickman's map
-Player colors are the same as the force beams
-Leaf shield is useless against it
-Compatible with my Shoop Da Whoop skin!

Download:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/963 ... mGunV2.pk3

How to use:
-Type "Give ForceBeamGunWep" or "Summon ForceBeamGunWep" in the console and press enter.

Also in this updated version is Force Beam Frenzy, where everyone uses infinte ammo force beam guns. Enable Buckshot mode to enable Force Beam Frenzy.

Weapons pack. Contains all the weapons I've made, including those which I've never released.

(click to show/hide)

A collection of all the 8BDM weapons I've made. All these weapons have been updated to be compatible and have all been refined or completed since a few years ago. Most of these are from ROM hacks, though some are not.

Included:
Synthesizer, from Rockman Deus Ex Machina
Destroy Spear, from Rockman Claw 2
Knight Claw, from Luckyman5 3
Ultra Beam, from Megaman Ultra
Tri Shot, from Megaman Ultra 2
Toxic Burst, from Megaman Forever
Blow Cyclone, Megaman Forever
Haze Dasher, from Megaman Forever
Lunar Search Snake (BiscuitSlash original)
Bandwidth Beam, from MM8BDM's launcher
Force Beam Gun (BiscuitSlash original)
Drain Cutter, from Rockman Cross X
Silk Shot, from Megaman X2
and one other....

Download link:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/963 ... onPack.pk3
To use these, open up the console and type any of the following:
"give (weaponname)wep"
"summon (weaponname)wep"
"give all"

Obviously replace (weaponname) with the name of the weapon you want to use. For example, "summon hazedasherwep" would make Haze Dasher appear. That last weapon requires something else to be made available however.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Classes-

Sniper Joe

(click to show/hide)

A Sniper Joe class I made awhile back.

Details, images and download link coming soon. This needs updating for compatibility purposes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Special Game Modes-

Force Beam Frenzy

(click to show/hide)

When you set the game modifier to buckshot, EVERYONE will be given an infinite ammo force beam gun! Special thanks to Ivory for helping me make this! :)




Download:
(Pending - Needs to be updated and whatnot)
This mode has now been merged with V2 of the weapon, so download that instead.

Rockman No Constancy's Hard Mode

(click to show/hide)

Remember how Rockman No Constancy made an option to skyrocket the already high difficulty? Well I went ahead and applied that to Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch. :twisted:

[No picture available or necessary. Just imagine Megaman being green instead of blue]

Effects of this mod:
-Causes all of you attacks to deal half the regular amount of damage to everyone else.
-You receive twice as much damage from everything.
-Every time you get hit, you get knocked back and are unable to do anything while getting knocked back.
-The above effects only apply to the player, not the enemies.

Notes:
-Not compatible with majority of other mods. Not even the actual RNC expansion.
-Made for singleplayer.
-You're stuck using the base skin. Due to how this mod works, this seems unavoidable. Sorry.
-AFAIK, MM8's campaign boss is the only thing unaffected by your halved attack power. I'm aware and probably won't fix this.
-Thanks to Lego for helping me fix a few errors while making this.

Skins & Bots etc / BiscuitSlash's Skin/Music Place! (Looping music pack!!)

« on: February 06, 2011, 05:56:25 PM »

Hello, my name is BiscuitSlash

Skins

This is where I will be putting all the custom skins that I make! Be sure to download them! (Good idea, it will lessen the amount of Megamans running around)

Shoop Da Whoop now has the ability to cough up huge amounts of projectiles at enemies! Don't forget to use gemini laser!

Sorry for the sprites looking a bit bad if you think they do, I had to make all 17 sprites from scratch and I'm not great at drawing <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->

Luckyman! (Or what ever he is actually called)
<!-- m -->https://www.dropbox.com/s/tvkm6qyjz08ngbb/Luckyman.pk3?dl=0<!-- m -->
This is Megaman from some of Chiko's ROM hacks such as Luckyman5 (Brutally hard, trust me) Truth is, I don't actually know his real name so I will go with Luckyman for now!

Playable flags!

(click to show/hide)

Have you ever been really jealous of Capture the Flag mode because it's the only mode with flags in it? Have you ever been desperate to play as one of those flags? Don't worry, we've all had that pain before, but now I bring you the flag pack! It contains all 4(?) flags that you see in Capture the flag mode and it's fun to use!




Click this link:
<!-- m -->https://dl.dropbox.com/u/96378525/FlagPack.pk3<!-- m -->
Now go out there and be awesome!
Also sorry about the Mr.X flag. It will rarely have the correct colours.

Photonman skin

(click to show/hide)

Photonman! from Megaman Forever
Here is one of the 8 robot masters in Megaman Forever (a really awesome rom hack that you should play). Took me while but here we are!

^ignore this hud and ammo bar^


Yeah, sorry about white cyan weapons making his head look weird, it turned out weirder than I though. Should be easy to get used to though! UPDATED!!!! Both the body and head have blue and cyan now, meaning he should be good with all weapons. See kids? Creativity isn't always a good thing!

Download here:
<!-- m -->https://dl.dropbox.com/u/96378525/Photonman.pk3<!-- m -->
I also fixed up some of the jittery frames and stuff. This version is better

We also need skins of the other MMF RMs btw! Check out the MMF expansion page!

This is the only MMF skin I'm releasing before the expansion. The rest can wait.

Skin that I made based on my favourite avatar that I had (also my first). [!REFRESH!]

(click to show/hide)

Remember this avatar?

Say hi!

(You can't see the attacking frame here, but he does have one!

But please, Ground use only! This skin was not made for liquid transport!

Base skin Replacements:
To use, add it to the add file bar thing, do not put them in your skins folder.
Sniper Joe
<!-- m -->https://dl.dropbox.com/u/96378525/BaseS ... aceJoe.pk3<!-- m -->
It replaces all Megaman's that you see with Sniper Joes!

======================================================================

Music wads

This is where I will be putting any random music wads that I decide to make. I recommend that you download some of these and enjoy a wider selection of music to listen to (that should be obvious).

To use these, just put them in your "skins" folder and type "changemus codemus" into the console (replacing codemus with the music code)

Music pack I've made from one of the best Megaman ROM hacks around. Megaman Forever! [!REFRESH!]

(click to show/hide)

This pack contains pretty much every piece of music I know that's in Megaman Forever. I haven't fully tested it properly yet so there may be a few badly looped songs and stuff, but I think there is only one like that. Updated now, with much better loops, volume and file size!

Music pack of Rockman 5 Dood in Gate. [!REFRESH!]

(click to show/hide)

This music pack contains almost every piece of Soundtrack from Rockman 5 Dood in Gate. I played it and actually found it really enjoyable! Although it isn't a fantastic hack like No Constancy, Forever, Minus Infinity etc., it really does have good music! I recommend downloading this because quite a bit of the music is really awesome!

NOTE: I am aware that the original music wasn't top quality in the way it sounded, HOWEVER, this music comes from a version that has fixed up music, meaning it sounds much more professional then to how it used to.

Rockman Dues Ex Machina Music with proper loops thanks to clever science that I did. [!REFRESH!]

Using scripting I managed to make music in 8BDM loop properly (have intros and looping section to the soundtrack the way it should be). This music pack includes most of the tracks from Deus Ex Machina, and I will probably do a similar thing to the core music in future.

MM8BDM Discussion / Michael712's server (Hosting Team Possession)

« on: January 01, 2011, 02:46:38 PM »

I've been trying to host a server for hosting Team Possession games for awhile recently but it seems that no-one (but me) can actually see that server. I HAVE port forwarded and done it correctly (yes, I opened up 10666 on UDP) but still no one else can see it. What am I doing wrong?

It's called "M712's Team Circuit Chase"
IP: 192.168.0.3.10666

Note: I only ever see my server in the "local" thing rather than "internet" when using the internal browser.
