MM1 original stage mode

[TheDoc]

90% of that is what I do, and I've got the 3D floor working. It's just that slight problem of not being able to see the hole from the top of the platform.

I've gotten it to the point where it's great from the bottom, but you can't see the ladder at all from the top.

From the bottom, it looks great.

From the top....you can't see the ladder at all.

I've been screwing around with the flags, but now I'm probably going to try a different method (that "3D sector" thing you were talking about), so yea....

EDIT: I tried out the 3D sector thing, but I'm not gonna use it for the starting platforms. Unless I'm doing it wrong (and this time, I don't think I am), my 3D sectors are connecting one sector to the one with the "Sector 3D Floor". 3D sector is something I'd use for the lengthy system of ladders in the middle of the stage. In the beginning, all I need is to make platforms in mid-air. For that, I think the best option would be Transfer Heights. I could be doing this wrong, though...

would it help if you gave the second floor some thickness instead of leaving it a flat plane?

You're very wrong about that.  3d Platforms in mid air are extremely simple to do and aren't nearly as much of a hassle.  Just pick a map that already has them, look at what that map did in doombuilder, then try to duplicate it in your stage.

3D floors are your friends

I might try my hand at one of these if I can find a layout map somewhere. Never played MM1. You got a problem with that?

all the megaman maps you'll ever need. Back to codeing the enemies for me

FINALLY! When I first started, I didn't really get how these things worked, but now I think I have a better understanding

For the first lengthy set of ladders, should I use a lot of 3D floors in a small area?

[TheDoc]

First, sorry for the double-post but I decided to do 3D floors all the way up (oh boy this is gonna be one heck of a map)

Second, I wanted to show my floating ladder

But Doc, how do we know that's floating?

Tadaaa!

And yes, you can climb it...

OK, I need to know how you did this. I tried and failed epicly.

[TheDoc]

I made a sector in a sector; one sector is the entire ladder thing, and one is the ladder itself. Second, I made the small sector's side textures CUTLADD. Last, the way I made it climbable is I made that linedef where the ladder is Thing Thrust Z. I didn't make the off-side sector linedef Thing Thrust Z. I made the linedef on the actual map where the ladder was going to be Thing Thrust Z.

[TheDoc]

Sorry for the double-post, but I have 2 questions. Well, it's more 1 statement and a question.
1.) In the 3dmegaman file, Geminiman, Snakeman, and Knightman are just weird. It's probably my horrible computer, but when you hit them, they start baaaaaaaaaaaaaarely walking towrds you. ....Why?
2.) Speaking of which, when is your next megaman monster pack coming out?

Sorry for the bump, but I'm curious.

I haven't been keeping up with all the mods, so is there one still underway that is aiming at recreating the original Mega Man gameplay in MM8BDM (with enemies and platforming)?

[TheDoc]

That'd be this one. Speaking of which, my 23% done Cutman map is decaying, but it gives me a headache to make. My God. Ladder after ladder after floor after floor after GODDAMN LADDER! Even with 3D floors, this is a freaking nightmare. I may just pass it on to someone else, but I may start up again. I guess we'll see.

It's still going somewhat, I havent really had much time to work on it with work and other stuff, I did however created a large portion of gravityman's stage to see if it would work (it did)

Screen changes should be handled with teleports like I did for Guts.  The drops down are teleports. Thus cutting back on as many 3D floors needed. I also made it Spectator friendly.
