[Old thread] Chaos Generator Upgraded Ver. M

[-Daiki-TheOni]

I have a question: will the new version work with clases?

[Beed28]

Mostly. New Base Weapon doesn't work, and classes that uses rune effects (such as Skull Man) will override certain chaos effects (that also gives runes) such as Spread Fire, Double Firing Rate, Vampirism and such.

Oh and by the way; I'm going to try readding the "islobby" flag back to CHAOSHUB. I'm not sure if that still crashes, but if it still does, report it here and I will make a hotfix. Also, I will need people to report if Jelly World still blows up servers, since I changed the wobbling a little. If it does, would someone test the old Jelly World option (accessable in the hub if you're the Master) afterwards?

Anyway, I would very much appreciate it if someone would report the Bouncy Terrain issue in gamemodes that reset the map to the Zandronum devs. And if the "islobby" flag still causes crashes, especially report that one too.

New version is out, here's the changelog:

(click to show/hide)

* Full MM8BDMv3 compatibility.
* NO LONGER REQUIRES chaosgenerator-2.wad! I have merged the two together, so you don't need to load that anymore.
* SINGLE PLAYER: Improved. The Chaos Generator will be inactive at Dr. Light's Lab and any of the credits maps. Certain effects will also no longer be chosen on the Unknown map (Wave Bikes, Jelly World and some others). Change the console variable "chaos_nosingleplayerlimits" to 1 to override all of this.
* INSTAGIB: Certain effects can no longer be chosen in Instagib. Such effects will be marked off in the hub.
* CHAOSHUB: islobby flag readded to MAPINFO definition, as I probably think that it's fixed in Zandronum. If not, and causes major crashing issues, notify me and I'll make a hotfix.
* CHAOSHUB: Some big layout changes to the main room.
* CHAOSHUB: The boss mugshots over the stage portals have been replaced.
* CHAOSHUB: Only the Master may choose any of the reels now instead of the first one.
* NEW BASE WEAPON: Can now give out the new MM8BDMv3 weapons, except Astro Crush and Time Slow.
* WAVE BIKES: Can no longer be used with Invisible Players, since the Wave Bikes didn't turn invisible.
* EXPLOSIVE DEATHS: Nerfed.
* JELLY WORLD: The wobbling has been changed (yet again). You can also no longer get crushed between floors and ceilings. Certain weapons have been fixed to work with Jelly World (Water Wave, Wind Storm and others).
* EDDIE STORM: Fixed for MM8BDMv3.
* KYOROWN SWARM: Fixed for MM8BDMv3.
* GUTSMAN G RAMPAGE: Can now be attacked! Hurt him enough and he will be forced to teleport elsewhere. He is immune to Force Beams, being crushed and Fire Traps. He also now has a unique sound effect for teleporting.
* EVIL YASHICHI: Fixed for MM8BDMv3.
* DEAD RISING: The zombies now despawn if out of sight of players for long enough. They also die if they step onto a black floor or lava.
* EARTHQUAKE: Now uses a simple screenshake instead of moving the entire level. Because of this, you can use this and Jelly World together!
* BOUNCY TERRAIN: Can no longer appear in Duel or LMS game modes, as it wouldn't reset when the map resets for a new round.
* DARK LIGHTING: Fixed so it properly goes away when the map resets in LMS and Duel modes. As a result, the darkness no longer "moves" in and out.
* ULTIMATE GAUNTLET: Zombies say hai.
+ LOCK ON AUTOAIMING: New to Ver. G! All players lock onto each other. HOWEVER, it doesn't seem to work in CTF mode. :(
+ ANGRY BIRDS: New to Ver. G! Everyone is given a permament Beat Support.
+ Frag counter added above the reels. Set "chaos_cl_hidefrags" to 1 to disable. The frag counter is automaticly disabled in CTF modes, and during the Single Player boss battles, EXCEPT against the Doc Robots and the Robot Master endurance.
+ CHAOSHUB: Now supports CTF game modes! Playing in CTF will give you an alternitive portal room which leads to the CTF maps.
+ CHAOSHUB: New music, taken from Mega Man 10.
+ CHAOSHUB: Special misc options added! They can also be changed in the console.
+ NUMBER OF EFFECTS (chaos_numberofeffects): Want to have only two chaos effects? Or only one? Then use this! You cannot turn them all off or it will defeat the purpose of having the Chaos Generator loaded. This will only take effect at the beginning of the match before the reels start spinning. In the Hub, the reels that are disabled will be crossed out.
+ OLD JELLY WORLD (chaos_oldjellyworld): Weither to use the old Jelly World as featured in the original chaosgenerator-2.wad release, which only moved the floors. I don't find it as exciting since it did not bounce you about, but if the current Jelly World ends up blowing up the server online, use this one instead.
- Removed Rollbrine.

Nice work beed! i look forward to madness!

[tsukiyomaru0]

Just a FYI: Seekermissiles and probably AutoAim works differently in CTF mode. It requires the target's hitbox touchs the absolute center of your crosshair and that they are within a distance. Then the autoaiming should ocur only with delayed firing (let's say: you press fire, but it takes X tics for it to fire) andand the missiles will only seek if the target was within the range specified before AT THE MOMENT THEY ARE SPAWNED/FIRED.

- Removed Rollbrine.

May I ask what this even was, now that it's removed?

[Ivory]

He's probably making a joke off the changelog I made for v3a, which ended with
- Herobrine Mike removed

[The Torise]

Better not be a joke, now I'm playing with the old version just to see if I can find any eyeless Rolls.

The end result, of course, being my inability to sleep tonight...


At any rate I love the changes in Ver. G, great job.  Mad props for the music in the Chaos Hub switching off that annoying Light Lab theme

As a side note, is there any way going forward to disable certain Chaos effects from being randomly selected in blank reels?  Like if I want to never have to deal with reversed movement control, for example?

[Beed28]

For disabling certain Chaos effects at your choosing, I have no idea how I'll be able to implement that. The ACS scripts is already in a mess, and trying to add that in would make an even bigger mess.

Rollbrine? I think I saw her a while ago, but I... I can't find the screenshot right now... but I'm fairly sure I removed her now.

[The Torise]

Well I'll keep an eye out haha get it?.  Dark Lighting, Evil Yashichi, and Rising Dead should create a spooky enough atmosphere to conjure up the nightmare fuel.

[alan900900900]

My problem is already fixed.
Oh and thank you for adding MM8 in the hub.

[Geno]

That is to much chaos we could have raining metools.

[Giantmega]

ITS to much.

[Beed28]

Okay, even by my standards, having a cake ton of Gammas stomping around squishing everyone and their pet rabbits to jelly is too much.
