MM7SLAX:

A lot of the bushes and trees block my view. There needs to be more view of the outside.

kind of the point

the idea is to look like something you'd want to "slash" your way out of

Hey Beed

Why do you have to release your maps separately from the pack? Can't you just submit to Messatsu and wait for the actual release like everyone else who contributes?

It's not much of a 'community map pack' if you're starting to manage your contributions separately.

I'd encourage you to consider releasing your own pack if you don't want to adhere to the community standard.

If everyone started doing what you just did, it would be a disaster to manage and locate all the individual pwads

There seems to be a couple of problems with this.

The first most obvious one is that your MTank replacement doesn't take into consideration special game modes where it shouldn't appear. This leads to incompatibility problems.

The force beam gun also has potentially incompatible behavior on clipping floor textures like water or snow.

Just tested it out now and nope, he does in fact drop 5!

He drops 4 'items'. If you analyze it statistically as I have been doing, on average the 5th thing he drops is not considered an item for the purposes of MM8BDM.

I may consider changing it later but probably not. I may even reduce the number of awarded items instead of increasing it as well.

Fun stuff

I said it in the server, but I think this server got a good draw from the random number generator.

This is my SUPER PRO inventory before logging off, lol

Well, I hosted nrgydual v1a and Eddie Item in that order, however it seems that it had no effect on the weapons. I musta done somethin' wrong.
 :?

Yep you did.

?box wad is called 'nrgdm-v2a'. See also this post.

Are you sure he dropped 4 items in MM10? I'm almost certain he always drops 5

He drops 4.

Interestin' Eddie nerf. What's a good combo of stuff that ya made that I could host together? Plenty of good stuff to choose, so give me a shot.

Thanks for your interest!

People seem to really like this Eddie thing with CTF at the moment. I might end up using the Duel list for DM as well, but we'll see given more playtesting. Another thing people have been suggesting is to keep the random weapon generator somehow. I may end up using Reggae for this, since the Eddie internal stuff for spawning weapons is left intact.

To answer your question I suggest doing the ?box mode and this on either CTF or DM mode. The order matters, so load ?box mode first then the Eddie replacement if you want the ?boxes and then Eddie to be actual Eddie instead of a red ?box.

DECORATE and ACS Modifications / [Item Replacement] Eddie Item v1b

« on: July 08, 2011, 03:04:03 PM »

Announcing the new
Eddie Item - v1b

(click to show/hide)

http://static.best-ever.org/wads/eddieitem-v1b.wad

(click to show/hide)

What is it?

Code: [Select]

This replacement for Eddie makes it so Eddie drops items instead of random weapons. It was born from an observation when playing MM10 on the way Eddie worked there.
Sounds great, but what exactly is different?

(click to show/hide)

For starters, Eddie spawns only 'common-ish' items. He chooses from a different list depending on the game mode. For now there's special lists for Deathmatch, Duel, and CTF modes. Other modes with items will use the Deathmatch list. If it isn't clear by now Eddie now reappears in Duel mode!

In Megaman 10, Eddie always dropped 4 items. In this version he drops from 1 to 4 of items in the following lists. This means he can drop as few as 1 and as many as 4 from the list. You can also carry up to 3 Eddie summons instead of 1 and he respawns twice as fast as normal. All Eddie locations in existing maps will be replaced with this type when loading this wad.

In Deathmatch, Eddie will drop:
"ETank",
"WTank",
"MTank",
"WeaponEnergy",
"BigWeaponEnergy",
"SmallHealth",
"BigHealth",
"Item1",
"TrebleSentry",
"TangoSummon",
"RushCoil",
"ExitUnit",
"RushJet"

In Duel, Eddie will drop:
"WTank",
"WeaponEnergy",
"BigWeaponEnergy",
"SmallHealth",
"BigHealth"

In CTF, Eddie will drop:
"WTank",
"WeaponEnergy",
"BigWeaponEnergy",
"SmallHealth",
"BigHealth",
"Item1",
"TangoSummon",
"RushCoil"

How do I run it?

Code: [Select]

Simply load the wad in the launcher.

You can add this to any other wad you like and it will replace only Eddie.
Be sure to check out the original example!

can i ask somethin?can we do buster only for this too?

Do you mean for completing the challenges?

If so, then yes. You can choose buckshot or use your buster only with items.

If you mean to change the map to buster only but keep the Eddies then I'll have to think about it. In the classic SHOOT you get a super shotgun. Blizzard Attack to me seems like the closest approximation of this. What I may do is make more themed SHOOT maps with different weapon sets instead. This challenge stands as it is though.

Eddie for duel mode - mapper's pack

What's different about Eddie?

(click to show/hide)

Eddie now appears in Duel mode and his behavior is changed somewhat. Instead of dropping weapons, he can drop from 1 to 4 of these items when summoned:
WTank
WeaponEnergy
BigWeaponEnergy
SmallHealth
BigHealth


In other modes (like Deathmatch) he drops from 1 to 4 of a different set of items which includes
ETank
MTank
WTank
WeaponEnergy
BigWeaponEnergy
SmallHealth
BigHealth
Item1
TangoSummon
TrebleSentry
RushCoil
RushJet
ExitUnit

This piece can be run on top of any other PWAD or by itself to only affect Eddie in any game mode with any custom mod.

HOW TO RUN

Code: [Select]

* Unzip the file
* Load the .pk3 in the launcher
* Set up an Offline Skirmish choosing Shoot! in Duel mode

I'm pretty sure those ice blocks are Chill Man's tiles.

Does anyone have the chill man tiles then with the shimmer translations or some approximation?

This is really great, thanks CopShowGuy.

Did you ever notice on the ice blocks in game there's like an animated 'shimmer'? I might just not be seeing it in the tile sheet but some approximation at doing this would look amazing in MM8BDM. Are there tiles for this effect or does it set some translation internally?

EDIT: Here's a video example of the 'shimmer' effect on the ice at the very  beginning of this video

Please check the date of the last post before posting in this. This had not been posted in for 2 months.

That's ok. This project isn't dead; rather it is a work in progress. As such, it's in the right forum now.

It makes me really happy to see people still finding and playing these challenges.

Congratulations, Searinox! I've added you to the leaderboard for that challenge.
