Mega Graal (Tentative name)

Playerworlds

EDIT: Server is now online, very little is actually up, though. Added moving platforms and plan to make enemies in the very near future. Afterwards, expect to play through a full level and boss fight, but that may be a while off…

Anyway, I repeat, server is now online courtousy of Cadavre! Thanks again :slight_smile:

:D! Hay.

I’ve been bored so I’ve been doing what I do when I’m bored (?)

Right. Anyway…


-Note the missing hurt and death animations

So far I’ve gotten most of the classic Mega Man shit down. I’m just looking to perfect the physics now and then start adding some of the more advanced stuff…

The idea is simple enough:

-Singleplayer Mega Man experience while on the server
-Co-op Mega Man experience
-Collect screws ala Mega Man 9 and purchase items with them
-Participate in events and gain “Mega Screws”, which allow for other purchases
-“Sparring”

However…

I can’t host this on my own computer. Any body want to help out there? :slight_smile:

Of course I’ll be looking for artists who enjoy painstakingly copy and pasting things from Mega Man into the Graal tileset layout and maybe creating their own stuff as well.

Level designers would be nice too. I suck at it.

Have a nice day :D!

I might host it for you. But my servers is in sweden so australians have massive lag. americans has some lag and europeans has basically none. :stuck_out_tongue:

3

I’d appreciate it, but it’s ultimately your call!

4

I’m just waiting for your answer. Since you decide if the lag is acceptable or not. I could set it up for you in a sec.

I live in the US so I’m sure “some lag” is more than acceptable :slight_smile:

Go ahead and put the server up ;).

I’m making it a body, so you’d be able to do stuff like “setskin” etc, however, I’m removing those commands because in classic Mega Man style, different weapons change your body color.

Moving platforms…

The platform warps there because timevar hits 100 and loops back to 0. I’ve thought of a simple fix for this already but haven’t gotten around to adding it yet :X

EDIT:

Also note the signs lol

9

Nice sign system.

10

pretty cool, and Marlon you still have shell access to the dedicated server I have in America just put it up on there. If not I can give you the information and downsider can have information to log onto it as well.

11

I think I still have it.

12

this server is awsome, this is the type of thing we could get out there :open_mouth:

13

Too bad I cancelled it because ripping sprites and ganiing them is too boring dor me LOL

14

sprite ripping is pretty easy, especially if its already done for you. look up sprites inc. its all megaman sprites. could help out a lot. as for ganis…yeah ganis are boring haha.

EDIT: here is the maps for megaman, they can be found here.

as for the sprites and abilities, health bars, bosses, enemies etc. pretty much every sheet can be found here.

they are all sheeted so the work is done for ya. i hope ya finish this project, i would definently would play here, and i know a bunch of communities out there who would jump right in as well. hope you start it up again mate. :slight_smile:

15

Aye but the thing is, he be lazy. lol

16

sorry to hear that, looked like it was gonna be a good server.

17

The systems were done as far as the movement and platforms. If you’d like, map the Megaman tiles to a tileset, make some levels and I’ll have a bit more of a spur to finish the project…

But I’m sure you’d never do that. But if you did, I’d hold true to my word…

18

hmmm, this could be a possibility.

ok so after some hard work and patience, and working on this on and off for like a month or so now, i bring you the megagraal tileset ver.1.0. reason its like this because i need to know if i have to set trancperancys with tilsets. also i cant test it because i dont know the script to load it in. anyways!

  • Tiles fully aligned (some might be off a bit, but i was being very precise, so it might be perfect)
  • tiles not only from megaman 1, but 1,2,3,4,5, and 6, as well as original metroid and super mario 2, and a couple of other classic games to put more depth and openess to it.
  • tiles are arranged over the classic tileset, so blockable tiles are surfaces to walk on, and walkable tiles are the background for a 2d experience (withy our engine, i hope it works like sync)
  • this is just a complete copy and original has room for additional tiles as well.
  • removed stefan and unixfail’s chaotic alternate pieces around tiles being used for easier to find tiles for map making, might possibly shorten length of developing levels.
    this was also to reduce colour and tileset size as in bytes.
  • remade some tiles to they sync better together, making it easier to make nice corners, drop ins, etc.

if you got any request to add to these tiles that you saw in a megaman game, give me a shout and i will gladly add more to em.

respectable critiques are welcome.

but yeah this tileset is for use with the megagraal server, and as said i did work on it for ya. i had a couple other ideas, i was playing with the sprites and stuff, but instead of everyone being just megaman, maybe players can play as enemy mavericks for different powers and abilities to fight eachother with. for example you could have a healer unit to heal another player while you guys battle, or say metal man from megaman 2 can shoot 4 directions instead of just the left and right shots. or crash man, shooting land minds that blow up. just an idea.

anyways i had a lot of fun with this project, if you need any sprites ripped, fixed, and put into game format (enemy animations, weapon effects, GUI, item sets, menus, etc)
id gladly help you with it.

anyways heres a screenshot of it, and the download for the tileset is in the megaupload frame. toodles.

EDIT: it may look big and empty and not enough, but i assure you, you can make 8-9 different types of levels with these.

Each Megaman level consists of loads of repetitive tiles. So you don’t need a whole lot.

Not bad overall. I’ll give you an A. :slight_smile:
