[Expansion] Mission Mode V1D Released! (v4 working)

[CutmanMike]

Oh no you're both too helpful!

Goshdurnit Tsuki.

I literally just finished doing that.

Oh well, at least they're ready for use. Thanks.

  That strange moment, when you were minutes, perhaps seconds, than someone else, accidentally ninjaing them.

I'll give it one more day to breathe see if anything else comes up.

Well, in that case...

The palettes used on the "get equipped" screen after each boss made me cringe, most notably that of Atomic Fire/Flames/Dash/Radiance. I decided to clean them up a bit, as well as modify the initial sprites. Each sprite has 3 color "slots" if you will. The first is a darker version of their primary color, the second is their primary color, and the third is their secondary color. The most notable palette changes are on Bass, but otherwise they're very minor. I did change Proto Man's scarf and Roll's hair to shave off those extra colors but otherwise everything should be intact. Mega Man didn't receive any change at all. Do these look any better or worse than what's currently being used?

And this is one of the most inane things I could have noticed, but if the colored names of the Robot Masters are intended to match that of their bots, Heat Man doesn't follow that rule. His name is yellow on his bot and red on the HUD message when he's defeated. ...Don't hurt me...

Thats not how Bass changes colors though, only his orange changes. And maybe his gems.

Hmmmm Are those preview color schemes for future weapons?

[Gumballtoid]

Those are his weapon palettes from Mega Man 10

[ChaoticChao]

I forgot how little of a difference there is between normal Bass and Bass with the thunder wool

Every game not 10 begs to differ. And 10 was the only of them he wasn't a default character.

Stop basing EVERYTHING around MM10 simply because that game did it. Like giving Enker, Punk and Ballade the MM10 boss theme, Enker comes from a game with a unique one roughly based off 1's, and Ballade had his OWN battle theme just for him.

[Kapus]

The Bass in this expansion is bassed more on MM10, though. He uses MM10's sprites and MM10's weapon get screen.

I'd say both of the color schemes are technically correct, as they were both done by Capcom. We're just going with MM10's.


ALSO, MM8BDM's Bass skin lays out the blue/cyan colors with this scheme in mind, so it wouldn't make any sense to go against that.

New version time! Here's the changelog. Again, no new maps so don't get yer hopes up.

Added a new Sniper Joe varient! He appears mostly on hard mode.
Improved the palettes of the weapon get screen (courtesy of Gumballtoid)
Increased Bass Buster damage slightly.
Reduced the base health values of many enemies (mostly the smaller, tankier ones) based on community feedback.
Fixed the horizontal HUD to display Atomic Radiance and the boss health bars.
Fixed Atomic Radiance covering the boss health bars.
Fixed Escaroo so he gets his eyes back automatically if they get stuck in terrain.
Changed Gyotot's speed so they can keep up with the currents a little better.
Fixed the Toad Man's level so people can't hide from the second Escaroo fight.
Changed Heat Man's level to be more obvious where to go.
Added the skull map marker to Heat Man's map.
Fixed the invisible wall to prevent players skipping most of Needle Man's stage.
Fixed the third Giant Metall so he actually appears on hard mode.
Changed bosses so they have no colision with players (some will still melee you though).
Changed heatman's dash behavior to attempt to hit players behind his target.
Fixed the bursting pipes during Toad Man's boss fight.
Fixed Toad Man's underwater behavior so he pops out at random locations.

I'll be posting details about the next map soon and what sprites I'll need for it, if anyone is up for some contributing! Also probably going to make a time trial version of one of the stages so we can get a speed run competition going!  

[ChaoticChao]

In what ways can people contribute/help?

[Korby]

well judging by the fact that he brought up sprites, he's probably going to ask for help with those.

[FTX6004]

I think i can help to make some sprites But i wonder what sprites it is.

[Beed28]

I'm starting to see a pattern here with the roster. It looks like we're getting one Robot Master per game. So far, we got a Robot Master from the first four Mega Man games. Not only that, but we already have representations of the Cutter (Cut Man), Fire (Heat Man), Neutral(?) (Needle Man), and Aquatic (Toad Man) types.

I wonder what Robot Master we're going to see from Mega Man 5-8. My predictions:

Stone Man, represents Earth/Strength
 Wind Man, represents Air
 Freeze Man, represents Ice
 Grenade Man, represents Explosive

What do you think?

[CutmanMike]

You're right about one robot master per game but there's no other real pattern other than what I decide myself will be good for variety (both with level theme, enemies/textures available and weapon possibilities).

Obviously some people are gonna be sad with what I pick but that's not stopping people from doing their own thing when I'm done   .
