Contra : Locked 'N' Loaded

[Fightn Words]

Can't wait to see that...

[mgman]

Have you downloaded the video instead of watching it on that link? Maybe that's the thing. If not, I'm sorry that it didn't turn out as planned

BUT, tell me if there's anything else you need for the mod, I'll do my best, despite the difficulties. WTF is it with video gaming forums who can't take sprite ripping and background requests seriously? They mostly end up being locked because jerks ruin the topic with memes...

A bit unfortunate that a limit was exceeded for the mod, but I hope for the best that it all turns out great

Bloodbane, hold off on making those modifications. SX and I can look into extending the engine's limits; it's super easy to do it. They only thing is that we want to make sure it doesn't jack up static memory use (as in, the extra slots take up space even when not used).

Would now be a good time to explain how I drasticly reduced my entity count without sacrificing any animations etc?

[mgman]

This seems like a good idea. Bloodbane, I would hold the downsizing until the guys find out about the limits.

[Bloodbane]

 That's kinda too late. The spread shot is already done and so does Terminator's bombs. I might bring back the bombs after the limit is extended but the explosion will still be reduced to remove redundancy.
 As for spread shot, I'll keep it that way and see what players would say about it. It will be included in 2nd demo which I'm preparing right now.

 I'm still waiting for some sprites before I could finalize this demo.

 Well, please tell us!

[mgman]

Sounds like a good idea... so which sprites are you waiting for?

[badjab326]

Whoah whoah wait a minute, no Ray Ray and Bill would be an awesome team since Lance is gone and not too many people like Jaguar. I definitely think Sheena should go in though.

Anyway great work so far man. I'm really looking forward to the 2nd demo.

[Demitri]

Bloodbane, I've tried the demo you released some time ago (didn't noticed this mod had two threads at the same time. My mistake) and I have to say I'm amazed on how many progress OpenBOR have reached and your talent to use all the current tools, hardly can notice this is a OBOR mod instead an arcade from scratch or another game maker app, and plus this mod gameplay is frantic! I seriously think this mod will rock.

I hope you don't mind if I take a look inside the PAK to help me to understand how some commands work with real examples.



Cheers.

[Bloodbane]

 Sure Demitri, I only hope you can understand them cause I don't give details explanation.

 Sorry badjab, it's either Ray or Bill. I chose Bill cause he's from Contra 3. I could add Lucia if someone has ripped her.

so which sprites are you waiting for?

 Metal Snake's sprites, the hidden boss.

[Fightn Words]

Is that the only thing your waiting for?

[badjab326]

Lucia was in a 2d contra? I thought she was only in Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra.

[Demitri]

Sure Demitri, I only hope you can understand them cause I don't give details explanation.

Then be ready for the interrogation

Bloodbane, look at this video, go to 6:19

Would that snake be good enough (maybe a recolor)?

Also look at:

At 2:20. Is that snake good, man?

Maybe these, too, with a recolor or something:

http://spriters-resource.com/nes/superc/sheet/12084 Take the level 6 boss snake sprites, maybe a recolor to make it mechanized.
http://sdb.drshnaps.com/display.php?object=7604 use the boss small heads which are like snakes and mechanize them.

I'm still surprised at how OBOR can support a 2d shooter like this. This is looking awesome, keep it up and make quite a few people happy.
