Mega Man: The Power Battle/16-bit Deathmatch Project

Now which textures to apply?

Custom MM7-styled ones...

or Wily Wars?

Here's Cut Man's stage with Wily Wars textures.

I might post an image of that stage with MM7 textures later, I haven't created them yet.

I'm assuming you fixed your little Airman problem then?

I think that keeping the entire project in SNES style should be great, the palette is much brighter.

[Strange Metool]

Yeah, just one problem...

It reduces the colors, presumably because MM8BDM is run in 256-color mode, or maybe since the Skulltag engine is based on the id-tech-1 engine, which supported an unknown number of colors, I don't know.

Is there also a way to get around this, to make it a 16-bit, or even 24-bit color engine?

Take a good look because that's the doom palette. You can make a custom palette though, if you really really want to.

[KillerChair]

Just saying this.
Make it as MM7 as possible and i might just play the game with this project and stuff

Good luck on making this though. Seems like too much work for me

Alright, another problem....

when switching the main Megaman sprites, it always gives an error that the base is too high. Which file gives the dimensions for the sprites? I'd like to know, because all of the scripts I've looked through don't show how tall the main player is automatically set to.

When changing the player class, always make sure the first sprite is PLAY A 0.

[Strange Metool]

Alright, I try MM7 styled textures, and...

... the palette messes it up.

The edited textures (unedited ones not shown)...

As you can see, the light greens were the only colors changed.

Now, is there a tutorial for changing colors in the Doom palette?

Have you tried opening it in OpenGL? I know it's not how you're supposed to test maps, but it shows the correct textures that you used, regardless of whether they're in the pallate or not!

It fixes the hell out of Turboman's stage, which is where my theory comes from.

[Strange Metool]

It lags like hell, so I can't figure that out.

[LlamaHombre]

Maybe send me the cutman.wad?

I could tell you then if it works in GL.

[Max]

I don't see a problem with how it looks!

Here's the level.

[Korby]

Well it's certainly easier to look at.

NOTICE: Two days ago, my computer started freezing up. Yesterday, I kept getting the BSOD, until when I start my computer up, all I get is a black screen, and now, it just simply won't start up. I've done everything I can to fix my computer, nothing will work. This means that I won't be posting on Cutstuff for a while, or doing anything MM8BDM related, until I can order a new computer around November/December, that's when I can get a decent computer. Until then, this project will be on hiatus.
