TMK4's Workshop (News regarding grad life and, oh, Saxton Hale too)

[TailsMK4]

I have a question for you guys. I was comparing the filesizes for each of the songs, and I forgot that Slenderman's song changed from Silversin to Balrog. Do you like the wind howling as it is in Balrog's, or did you want to go with a somewhat creepy song?

[SmashTheEchidna]

I'd pull CBS, Ninja Spy, Seemen, and don't freak out, but even Saxton Hale out of there.

That's sort of just personal opinion, though.

You know I actually am not against that.


Anyway, the Ghost of Starman's skin is ready to be used as well so don't forget about that.
As for Captain Falcon's moveset, here it is.

(click to show/hide)

Name: Captain Falcon

Skin: Captain Falcon (W.I.P.)

Theme: (Whichever people decide on if there are any plans to replace it.)

Health: Above Average

Speed: Very Fast. (Considering his reputation for being the fastest character in the Super Smash Bros Series, (second fastest in Brawl, 'cause there's no outrunning Sonic.) He should probably be one of, if not the fastest hales out there.)

Color Scheme: Leave it to the Skin.

Attack: Standard combo: He punches twice, then stops movement to attack with his knee before performing a rapid flurry of jabs. (Cannot move during the last two attacks.) You have to keep pressing/holding fire to pull out the whole thing. Otherwise you'll just attack just as many times as you press fire. The damage output is pretty low, (except for the knee, which is a bit stronger) but it's fast and requires no real cooldown.
[*]In Mid-air, the attack is changed to the Knee Smash, which is instant death if timed properly. Otherwise, it does just as much as the regular knee on the ground combo.
Obituary: Player was defeated by Captain Falcon (Player).

Secondary attack: Falcon Kick: Attacks with a flying kick, boosting self forward a great distance. It'll either:
a) Do ripping damage as he crashes into people.
b) Deal a chunk of damage while knocking targets in random directions.
c) Cause a small explosion upon impact with anything, launching self backwards and into the air.
When used while airborne, he dives down to the ground and causes a shockwave upon landing. If he lands on top of someone, it won't be instant death but it'll probably destroy them quickly if they can't get away.
~Secondary Attack takes up the entire super jump gauge. Is overridden by Rage when at full.
Obituary: Player was kicked out by Captain Falcon (Player)'s Falcon Kick.

Super Jump: Falcon Dive: Leaps up into the air with a forward thrust. The jump is only half as high as the norm, but if he manages to grab someone in mid-air, he boosts off of them in an explosion which thrusts him upward (and slightly backward) while refilling the Super Jump gauge back to full for reuse. Falcon Dive is lethal.
Obituary: Player was sent plummeting from Captain Falcon (Player)'s Falcon Dive.

Rage: There are two candidates:
1) Falcon Punch: Basically the same as before, but the size and radius are WAY bigger. He also takes minimal damage while charging, (if not being completely invulnerable) So basically you're forced to just get out the way when he uses it.
2) Blue Falcon: I'm debating over having him drive around in it like the Battle&Chase Mod, or somehow base it off of his SSBB version with the cutscene. I'm afraid the former would be OP, though.

EDIT: Ninja'd with another question. I don't care what you do for Slendy's theme to be honest. But I wouldn't mind hearing music of some sort instead of ambient noise.

[Linnie]

Question: Will this mod have that code that disallows classes, or will that be removed so everyone can have fun with it?

[TailsMK4]

@Gizmo, I had no idea Starman's skin was ready. I'll see if I can find it. As for Captain Falcon, I still haven't even tried making a hale yet, so I will probably only try if no one else is willing to try to code him.

@Linnie, I probably would not expect it to be in, but I would rather people not mix this with Classes at this point. As far as fixing compatibility with Classes, I do not play Classes myself, so this would get passed to someone else to do, but it definitely would be at near the very bottom on the priority list for right now.

If anyone wants to work on the mod right now, I did do a little work to it, though much more still needs to be done. It is just I feel I cannot do every single thing on the todo list, though I can do most of it. Here is how the mod stands at the moment:

Code: [Select]

Alpha TO-DO:

-Organize Decorate into the actors folder and update the hale actors.
-Port sounds from Balrog/Overhaul.
-Update SBARINFO so bars for Balrog's hales will show up properly (both vertical and horizontal).
-Make sure the new sprites will display properly.
-Grab GOSM's new skin.
-Revise Captain Falcon's moveset.
-Revise the SAXTON acs to include Balrog's Hales and check for other outdated things.
-Port GLOBAL acs to update the LMS Randomizer. Make a fix to prevent players from using some weapons from Eddie?
-Revise damagetypes to ensure proper protection is provided for all hale weapons.
-Revise the Megaman class so new deaths from bosses like Scrooge is accounted for.
The changes I have currently done are:

Code: [Select]

-Removed NeoDS and PO Roll completely. ~TMK4
-Got in all sprites from the Overhaul. ~TMK4
-Replaced the SNDINFO file with the one from the Overhaul. ~TMK4
-Ported music for Morshu, Captain Falcon, Ninja Spy, Quote and Curly, and the Draw Game song from the Overhaul. ~TMK4

At this point I am still unsure what to do with Slenderman's song, so I will wait for some more input on that. The only thing on the Todo list that I may have trouble with is with Captain Falcon, but I could likely do the rest of the stuff.

[ZeStopper]

Slendy shouldn't have a song so that it makes everything scarier.

[SmashTheEchidna]

I would give Falcon a shot, but I have no time on my hands for that right now. As for the skins, I have them right here.

Captain Falcon

Ghost of Starman

[Rozark]

Here's a question.
Are you going to be that person to FINALLY put in the Morshu changes?

Also it's nice to finally see that I can have just 1 file for this instead of around 8-12 from all the hotfixes.

Good thing edits exist. Anyways, I have 1 1/2 ideas for a hale (CF gets the other half) when the time comes that you're ready for more suggestions. Good variety/Memetic?/Hilarities to be had there.

[TailsMK4]

I heard some discussion about Morshu being changed. If someone is willing to do the actor decorate for him, then I will be sure to put him in. As is I have very little experience making hales, though I do want to try sometime to make one.

In response to the idea of removing Saxton Hale, I have heard in the past of possibly just dropping the Saxton Hale name altogether and just get rid of the TF2 influence in the mode. I think I will leave that decision to you guys, but if we do go through with this, what should be a fitting name for the mod?

EDIT: Hmm, adding the skins will be tougher than I expected. I do not think I will have problems updating the sprites and sounds for Captain Falcon, but Starman I have no clue since I actually never played EarthBound. Are Starman's Intro Quotes getting replaced?

[JoshAdams88]

Oh, you're looking for a new name for the gamemode?
How about we call it "Boring Roboenza Rehash That Deserves Zero Attention"?

[The Killer Nacho]

Look out guys. We have a 1 poster here, yelling at a mod in a thread dedicated to said mod.

As far as name goes, would some influence of your own name be appropriate, Tails? Like "Top Tails in Town" or "Watch your Tail" (combination of watch your step and watch your back)? Maybe "Live to tell the Tail" (play on words, I know "Tale" is the correct term in this situation)? If you keep Saxton "Watch your Tail for Saxton Hale", or perhaps "1 Man Show: Dawn of the New Age". There's all kinds of possibilities, but you might want to be more specific towards what sort of name you're looking for.

[Korby]

"True Terminator"

It's similar to the default Terminator game mode but it has its differences. Maybe drawing some inspiration from that would be interesting?

[SmashTheEchidna]

True Terminator sounds like a promising name.

Are Starman's Intro Quotes getting replaced?

As far as I know, no. I just put those sounds in there as taunts. You could have them play when he attacks though, but that's up to you. Personally I'd like it.

[ZeStopper]

Question: Will this mod have that code that disallows classes, or will that be removed so everyone can have fun with it?

I was actually hoping that there would be a version that could be playable with Special Classes.
I liked the idea of having unique balanced weapon classes and adding it to Hale would help make every character unique without giving them advantages over others.

[Balrog]

Question: Will this mod have that code that disallows classes, or will that be removed so everyone can have fun with it?

If I have any influence at all in this mod, it will. In Classes Saxton, the only people having fun are the stallers.

EDIT: Also, I'm currently working on the skeleton of "The Next Mutation" so we have something less messy to build on.

"True Terminator"

It's similar to the default Terminator game mode but it has its differences. Maybe drawing some inspiration from that would be interesting?

Tweaking the name a bit: Trueminator?

But True Terminator is a good simple name either way
