TMK4's MM8BDM Server Thread

[TailsMK4]

This was originally a thread I had for rules, but usually people are respectful of rules, so I will not repost the old rules I have. Because a lot of mods (and vanilla modes) are rarely seen lately, this thread will serve as a place where those mods could be temporarily revived. These servers will be hosted by BE, but you will know what server is mine because I place my name on them.

The current servers I am hosting are:

Mega Man Mafia


So, here are the games that are up for voting for Sunday:

Vanilla:

Last Man Standing
Team Last Man Standing
Capture The Flag


Custom Mods:

Rage Roboenza
Battle and Chase
Screw Scramble


Read on to find out how you can vote for any one of these.


Server Requests:

1. I will accept most mods, but I will not accept mods that are already being hosted by other people: including Classes, Saxton Hale, Operation Battleground, Bot Apocalypse, etc. This also goes for any vanilla mode that is constantly hosted: Deathmatch and Duel. Terminator also will not appear on the list, but all other modes are fair game.

2. As far as map packs (only for Custom Mods), these are the packs I will accept at this time:

AMP-MP
CSCM Remix
DRSG (though not with Roboenza or Saxton Hale, the maps are too big for them)
IXPack (and Legacy)
KCTF
RocPack
Sharp

There are also maps in mods such as SP Mission Mode, Battle and Chase, Rockman No Constancy, Powered-Up, and others. These mods are accepted, so these maps will be fine as well.

Kapak is not being accepted at this time. Although I cannot prove the statement myself, I remember Kapus saying he did not want the mappack to be used until it gets updated. Best Maps Ever is also not accepted because it is not really a serious map pack. Some of the maps in there are very confusing and/or frustrating to navigate.

Also regarding map packs, if there is a map pack you feel should be included in the list, show me a link to the thread and I will check it out.

3. I will host two servers per week, one Vanilla and one Custom. These will get rotated every Sunday, and a new batch of options will appear every Sunday as well. Just simply make a post in this thread for the two servers you want, and supply any map packs you want for the Custom Mod option. The mods with the most votes will be the ones hosted, and a new option for each category will replace the winners for next Sunday. You may also request a Vanilla mode or Custom Mod to appear on the lists in the future if you so desire. I just do not want to try to create competition for the popular games.


If you have any questions/comments/concerns, PM me or talk about it here. See you on the servers!

For extra modes like Roboenza, Saxton Hale, etc...: If you are chosen by the RNG, you must finish the match. Do not spectate if it is clear you cannot win. Many of us just bear it anyway, and even sometimes turn it around.

So we have to sit through Leaf Shield matches as Morshu? We just need that thing removed along with a ton of other things.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Just do what I do and kamikaze them.

But yeah, the current weapons selection in that mod is kinda broken right now, but that's not really Tails' problem.

You know, that version isn't the only around.

Holy christ on a pogo stick! That hotfix only brings back an evil code that causes crashes (I'm looking at you, Script 814!). Instead, test this one:

Tails your Freaking SH server has the shits and keeps crashing. What is the problem man?

This marvelous piece of crap known as "HudMessage". I'm working on a very last hope to rid us of it.

What is "HudMessage"?

[TailsMK4]

HudMessage is simply the type of command that prints stuff to the screen. For SH, this is the boss health message, whenever bosses are introduced, and when a boss is raging. For some reason this causes strain on the server. Tsuki could explain a bit better than I could...

...For the time being, I am forced to rehost R3. Which means this stuff is coming back:

+CSCMRemix can be hosted with R3! Slenderman is not affected by CSCMRemix for some reason in R3.

*Gilgamesh will have Bitter End instead of Rocket Punch.

-Since I haven't done a fix for R3, Pissed-Off Roll will be selectable again...just a heads up.
-Curly was nerfed in R5...she will be back at original strength in R3.

However, I believe R3 was not quite as buggy as R5...so I think the crashing issue will be much less of a factor. If you guys still crash, though...I am afraid Balrog's SH may be too buggy to deal with.

I uploaded another experiment.:

[TailsMK4]

Hosting Tsuki's experiment. If this still causes the server to crash, then I will put up R3.

EDIT: Crashing seems to be a bit less now, but it still happens. We'll have to see how things go.

[tsukiyomaru0]

Experiments results:
Server crash seems to either have decreased greatly or disappeared completely. Client crash still happens, but with a lowered frequency and somehow tied to audio and hudmessage (mostly related to Rage HudMessages, I guess). "Client crash ratio increases with number of players" has also decreased.

Things done for next version:
Disabled "rage notification spam" by doing inventory handling (now a "/!" appears next to "BOSS" to signal they have the rage but have not used it. Rage notification still pops up (hopefully) as soon as he reaches max rage, but won't stay.). Slender got a new thingy in his health display.

I'm aware of the box being too big and/or distracting, but I can't work on it without knowing how big you want them to be, people.

Also, we need someone to compress the audio files (convert the MP3 voices to WAV, shrink the 5 MB OGG files to 600 kb at most, etc.)

Until further notice, the Hide and Seek server has been shut down. I will have public beta servers later to make sure hiders cannot move during the seeking phase. Only then will I put the server back up. It appears continued warning about exploiting the glitch was not enough to stop people from doing it. Sorry for the shutdown, but I was left with no choice. Inb4 people come on this thread to complain...

There was a glitch in that mode? What was it?

[TailsMK4]

Underlined for those that missed the glitch mentioned. It was serious enough that it sometimes broke the game. (for example I had a few seconds left and just located the last couple of survivors when they just started moving and got out of my reach)
