I enjoyed the game, and I hope that the expansion will turn out alright...
MENDEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!!!!

Not to worry folks, the general layout for RNCDW3 is done and the textures are ready for implementation. The major issue right now is this crazy gimmick YD's been wanting since he told me to make the map.
The general idea is to allow players to play on the ceiling, allowing access to weapons not available on the floor, as well as other items.
Right now, I'm questioning whether the idea is worth implementing, or if it's even possible to implement. I'll talk to Jax about the idea, while I'll check with the RNC crew about the layout

> make the map two separate "zones"
> make the ceilings of each zone TVs that display the other zone from the top down
> players warp between zones on contact with the ceiling
> projectiles warp through the ceilings as well
> no complicated ACS wizardry, and it looks like people are on the ceiling
> ?????
> PROFIT!

I'm not sure how map friendly this is (or even if it would cause lag or not) but it's an idea.

[Mendez]

That idea could work just as well, but trying it on a large scale might cause giant frame rate drops since you have to render large portions of the other zone at a single time. I'm probably wrong, but that sort of thing just wouldn't be good for folks to play on. Also, I want to see if I can make the thing myself in Decorate and see if Jax can correct any mistakes I make. Coding can be quite fun to learn sometimes, especially when your hard work is shown on your own map.

[Korby]

Could remedy that by only having certain swap points.

[Mendez]

Well folks, we have a bit of an issue with RNCDW3. It seems that fighting on the ceiling is not as easy, or as practical, as I once thought. While the idea has been implemented, you just can't get sprites to rotate 180 degrees while on the ceiling. So, would you folks be okay with fighting on your head while on the ceiling? Because the general layout is still there for use. And I would love to have fighting on the ceiling and the ground.
Also, I think Smashbro's idea might not work because YD just told me that cameras can't rotate upside down and that projectiles can't be shot between zones like that.
Either way, I should have the map ready soon enough.

I know this idea was previously thrown around a bit, but since it looks like this expansion is near done (which is awesome btw), is there going to be a campaign?

Sounds funny lol. I'm down......er, up with that?!

Already done. Boss and credits semi-coded as well.

Question; will it be easy to make a patch that makes this compatible for CSCC when this comes out?

[Shin Star]

I was wondering for the Dr. Wily 1 map, when you first enter it, will there be no BGM like in the game? If I remember correctly, when you went past a boss door after the underwater part, the music finally starts. If that feature will be on the map, I will be most grateful.  

[Myroc]

Yes, the music won't start until someone gets a frag. This only applies to DM or Duel, though, in any other mode the music starts immediately.

[Shin Star]

That's idea is even better...!!! Can't wait to play! It's my favorite BGM in the game!

[Knux]

Been wondering how the Za Warudo weapon exactly works. Is it simply a shorter lasting Time Stopper, as said in the opening post? The only video I have seen was a TAS run, but I don't remember the player ever using the weapon.

[TheDoc]

In the hack, it's basically Time Stopper, so I'm guessing they're trying to make Za Warudo unique in its own way without making it as trollerific as Time Stopper.
