See? This time the next update post came out faster than a whole month... :'>
So I did some small additions to both maps, mainly stuff that adds more depth and life to both stages. Which includes:
1. Adding the warn states for buzzbombers,
2. Adding small sub islands which you can just explore for almost no actual reason currently. Maybe I'll add something to them, or just add more decorations to make them prettier. :P
3. Adding a small secret section with extra life to the GHZ map,
4. Adding a whole intro dialogue for the bonus map with it being a small story-tutorial thingy,
5. Finally setting the music for the bonus map which is... S.Mania GHZ act 2 theme. :P Not sure why... maybe because it's my favorite GHZ theme variation and stuff...
6. Making spring way bigger to match more with their SA2 size.
So now for the footage:
And now... do y'all think that the tutorial thingy is a bit too yappy? And you also can't move meanwhile this message plays, but you still can skip it. And I had problems with it obscuring the quarter of the screen every time and the auto-text-play being kinda unreliable because people still have different reading speeds. So these issues pushed me to making it so you can't move, BUT you can quickly skip the message pretty quickly.
Well, i'm glad that you finally get back to the work my friend. It was really a while since this post.
Yeah, it’s kinda hard trying to work on something while it’s unstable to work with... But I finally found a solution to not make the addon crash anymore, so that’s why this stage is actually coming out now. :P
Huh, neat. I may didn't know that crabmeats does have stationary variants, but still cool!
They don't actually have one. And because of that fact I decided to them myself. :>
Sounds like a little bit challenge of score emblem. I wonder if you can able add (Time emblem & Ring emblem), would like to see it if can get all emblems in one run of time attack. Or simple Single Player or Coop. (Coop suppost to be as a multiplayer).
Honestly, it’s not that challanging the moment you know the layout of the map. I myself managed to get 60000 score in just 3 minutes by using invicibility monitors for enemy score chains, extra life monitors for 10000/1000 score bonuses (only in T.A mode) and collecting rings. Which are quite important because 1 singular ring gives you 100 points, which adds up to 1000 every 10 rings. So overall you can get around 20000 score just by ring collection alone which is a 1/3 of the score goal.
And I already added these two emblems with 45 seconds for time and 200 rings for... rings. :P And you sadly can’t get all the emblems in one run because all the categories kinda bite with each other. The only compatible emblems are ring and score. Seeing how a lot of rings equal a lot of score. So you’ll collect them a lot either way. But I don’t think you can earn 60000 score or collect 200 rings in just 45 seconds... -.-
Warn state? I wonder how did you make them, wasn't suppost to be one of the lua addon or something? If you made warn state by your hand, then cool!
I made them by hand by editing the enemies code. Which is actually pretty easy to do so, all you need to make those small edits is the SRB2WIKI and some prior knowledge on how to with SOC (Sonic Object Configuration) I’d say that it’s on a level of scratch in terms of trying to learn how it works. It’s pretty easy to understand, but can be really flexible in experienced hands. :>
Oh yeah, about the third change that you made. I kinda don't think about buzzbombers which can chase you around the whole stage, peoples would not remember what's behind them. But i think you should, sounds like a funny joke.
Oooh, so that's why all three badniks will have unique warn sounds for easier judgement of the situation. I see.
I actually can’t do a lot about chasing buzzbombers without changing a lot of their behaviour which is coded in, so my best bet is just to leave them as they are, and of course leaving the warn state to make it actually fair.
Well, your break was not that bad at all, atlast you do for your best. Any longer of chance to release this, wish your luck to finish it.
I honestly also feel like this break kinda refreshed my ideas for this addon, so it also made it better in more ways than one.
I also mind thinking about april, since it will be here of 4 days. Are you gonna planning for something to troll us? If so, cant wait to see.
I wanted to do something goofy with my PFP, which I can still do honestly, but we’ll see. :P
If you may reading this, i think you shouldn't answer that, you can keep it as for secret.
I will if I actually will do that thing that I have in mind...
Thanks for reading, i hope you understand my words that i say. Good luck buddy, i hope some day you mind be release this as for the best.
I mean... I sometimes had problems with understating some things, but it was good enough for me. :P And thanks, I’ll try my hardest to release this addon,
this month! >:3
