SGC Demo feedback

[MakoAoyama]

For anyone interested, I managed to get a Playstation 3 controller working on the demo perfectly. Keep in mind I've hooked it up through USB, I don't have any clue if Bluetooth will work.
I'm running Windows XP, by the way.

You can go here to find the driver for it and instructions on how to install it. Just scroll down to the 4th post to see it.

Once the driver is installed correctly, it loads up perfectly in game. You just have to tweak the controls to your liking in the options menu.
For those interested, here is my basic control scheme:

Left stick: Move
Right stick: Look around
X button: Jump
Square button: Fire
L1: Strafe left
R1: Strafe right
L2 and R2: Cycle through weapons

This seems to work well so far(for me at least), a good blend of classic Mega Man controls and FPS controls. The sticks were both set that way by default, but everything else I customized.




I do have one question for anyone that might know. Does anyone know of any way to get this running on Mac?
 I'm using my roommates laptop right now and it works fine, but I'd much rather get it working on my Mac so he can have his laptop back if possible.

I do the same sort of thing for my 360 controller when I play on the laptop  


There is a Mac version of skulltag but it appears no one knows how to run it. I even had a go on my friend's laptop but just couldn't get it running. It doesn't help that I don't know anything about Macs  :?

Believe it or not, Mike, I think I might have figured it out.
Check it out.

It'd be pretty cool to use one of MY controllers to play a PC game like MM8BDM

But then I'd look weird playing games like this on my laptop
with a Wii controller.
 
I don't think they even have wires for that. Probably not.
But anyway, I think the game is pretty sweet and I can't wait for the final version.
Like pretty much anyone else who has played it.

Yeah, that would be awesome to have...

..........Well.
I am definitely going to try that sometime if I can.

Hey when the Full Version of MM8BDM comes out will it cost some $$$?

[DragoonEnRegalia]

The game is a completely-free IWAD for Skulltag, and I doubt Cutman Mike will be needing any donations to finish the game outside of hosting the servers.

If Cutman was going to make us pay for MM8BDM, I'm pretty sure Capcom would have shut him down.
Unlike Action Doom 2, Megaman is copyrighted material.

doom 2 is copyrighted as well, its just under a special open source license.

If cutmanmike wanted to sell MM8BDM he would still have to license the megaman characters from capcom and the engine from ID/Bethesda.

just made a profile to say, "fuck yeah"  so far things are perfect, more maps are my only complaint.

Mike locked the "Things to improve this awesome game" thread, so I'll pick up here where they were discussing the Napalm and some people thinking it was overpowered.

Napalm is fine for the most part, I think. If you back away from it, it's not as big of a deal.

But Jesus Christ, that freakin' Needle Cannon drives me nuts sometimes. Mostly because you just about CAN'T back away. Depending on your aim, you don't have to even be that close to a person to pretty much halt all movement for them. Once you're in it, it's doubtful you'll escape. The closer the person firing gets, the harder it is for the one getting shot to escape.
I actually managed to pin 3 people at the same time with it that were standing a little spread out across from me. I killed 2 of them and the other got away because I ran out of ammo, finally.
I think that's a bit much.

[CutmanMike]

Yeah now that I've actually seen it used quite often I think it was a bad idea giving the stun to a rapid fire weapon
