Ashley's Weapons [BHB, Thnd-Wool, AC, C.Shot, RS] - Updates

[Mr. X]

Maybe you should PM a mod asking to clean up the past...well, I guess the past like 7 pages or so of the topic.  As I said before, as long as you're not too mean about it, make whatever you want, and seeing as how the past post was obviously well thought out, level-headed, and logical, I don't see that being a real issue here.

And with that, I think it's time to move on to actual critique. Seriously, this community has become a lot more hostile as of late.

Black Hole Bomb: Powerful, but needs the ability to be remotely detonated like Drill Bomb. Hitting with it as it is now is difficult. Otherwise, very decent weapon.

Thunder Wool: I talked to you on skype about this one. Basically, this thing would become much more useful if it instead went up to the ceiling, then kept moving while launching thunderbolts beneath it, stopping after a medium distance. Like Black Hole Bomb, hitting with it in its current state is hard, and just a slight change from how it worked in MM10 would make it much more useful.

Really, it was pretty much useless in MM10 anyway.

Astro Crush: Works brilliantly. Although I always thought it was more of a slow, powerful weapon. Seriously, it's a meteor shower. Getting hit point blank with it does barely any damage at all, atleast not from personal testing. I'd say increase the power, along with ammo consumption.

Concrete Shot: Brilliant. Why on earth is this grouped with Area of Effect weapons, though?

[NitroBro]

well i cave and me and ash are working on weapons together hopefully

BHB: I'll probably do that. I never played the game, and I don't know if it was remotely detonated. I'll give it a whirl.

Thunder Wool: It's derp and I think I can do what you're suggesting. Although it would just barely increase how much range it gets.. [As of now, it's a good ladder climbing antiweapon! {Try it in Elecman}]

Astro Crush: It uses 10 shots in-game, and is instant death to every small enemy, and 0 damage to most bosses. It only does 15 damage PER METEOR because 30 would be highly overpowered due to how close they land and the radius is fairly sized. Unfortunately, I have to keep the power-to-ammo ratio set, and I like to use the same Ammo the actual games use. Sorry, Myroc. ^^"

Concrete Shot: I suppose it's good, though very weird to use, in my opinion. But, it works, right? --As for that... Yea.. I'm very indecisive about my weapon-slot picking. I usually go with whatever number I think of that probably, maybe suits it. I'll change it to 2, or 3.

Says who? I prefer to do On-Skype criticism/testing/editing with my friends, and make weapons solo until it's time for improvements or unimprovements.

[Mr. X]

Black Hole Bomb was indeed detonate-able in Mega Man 9.

[NitroBro]

well i gave you my offer, spritist take it or leave it, i dont have a video camera for skype anyways, and im trying to help YOU

[Mr. X]

Yeah, but usually when somebody wants to help, they say "I want to help you" or "I can help if you want", not "WE'RE WORKING ON A WEAPON TOGETHER, PARTNER!"  If you really liked a girl, you wouldn't start saying to everybody that you're already boyfriend and girlfriend if you haven't talked to her yet.

[Ashley]

You don't need a Microphone or a Video Camera/Webcam for Skype. It's mainly used as a messaging client for the most of us, with some Calls for random talking.

At the most, I'd say if you get Skype, we can talk it over there.. But forum-to-forum chatting about weapons isn't for me.

--As for the BHB, I'll make it so!

EDIT: The black hole bomb now acts as if it were a drill bomb!
·Short, slow distance with explosion if simply fired without a hold-in.
·If you hold in the fire button, it'll travel as far as you do, until it hits something, then creates a vortex.
·If you release it at any time during a hold-shot, it'll explode where it was.
·Due to this being a slow moving weapon, this could be good in certain game situations!

[NitroBro]

well i guess there is no breaking this streak, maybe we could form a truce/alliance, im almost done with jewel and chill, and i kinda always wanted to do rebound and i got a idea for commando, and im a spriter so we could help each other out

there and about skype ill think about it but i'd still rather wait

[Mr. X]

1)  Was this before I told you to do it?
2)  And did Ashley even respond before you said "WE'RE WORKIN' TOGETHER!"

EDIT:  But does Black Hole Bomb suck people in now?  I don't know if that's possible in Doom, but it wouldn't be BHB without it.

I've a theory on how such feat could be possible, but it would have to induce negative recoil and an invisible wide collision box being spawned everytime.

[NitroBro]

way before and i decided to work on her rotation for the weapons she needs PLUS she is helping me with my weapons, is that enough for you to stop hounding me? AGAIN?!?!?!

[Ashley]

The only problem with it is making only a select number of players within a radius of a blast be affected by it.

Now, if I can change OTHER player flags based on a weapon's hit, this would be very easy for me to do. I'm not sure if this is possible, but I don't think it is. (It would also help me with Laser Trident @Skull Barrier)

I can give players custom inventory items, too, that act as Flags instead.. (Idea we had floating around)
Problem is, how would the bomb know to "suck" players into itself with people with that flag. [Turning it on and off wouldn't be an issue]
Not only is it annoying, but you cannot use ThrustThing or ThrustThingZ properly with the MomX, MomY, or MomZ coordinates of the vortex, making the sucking part even harder.

It's just a big mess. [Of course, YD figured it out, so I should be able to! That means it's possible, unless his actually doesn't and it's just falsified..]

EDIT4ABOVE:

I only helped you with J.Satellite because I understand how to do it, and you need help reflecting shots. You make yours, I'll make mine.

You should realize by now I never stop hounding people.

[NitroBro]

sadly i do, but anyways, c bomb, do i to sprite the explosion all in one sprite?
