I have been on about a 3 month break of doing anything with my hack. All I can say is that I've had some severe personal issues within my life, that has been caused partly due to my work on this hack, and some other issues. It's a personal nature, so I won't get into details, but all I can say is that this hack is in severe trouble of ever seeing the light of day.

The reason for this thread, is I'm curious if there are any superior level designers, and if anyone here is willing to help out, it would be greatly appreciated, and all credit would be issued within the credits of the hack, and any detailed posts about the hack itself.

I'm also not worrying over a time frame for this either. I will never know when this will be complete. What I can offer, is some here and there ASM coding for enemies/bosses.

I honestly don't know how to go about this, I wanted to keep as much as a surprise, but I really don't care anymore. I just want this hack to be done, and outta my life. I've been on this since 06, and it has cost me greatly, so instead of losing 2 things, I want to get this finished.

Anyways, to who or whom, that would want to take this on, would obviously receive the actual level editor for MMU2. At some point, I will reveal how the CHR swapping works, (for levels like smb2) I don't want to rely to heavily on that for many levels, since CHR swapping uses all tiles in the ppu from 00-7F, that's a shitload. I do not posses the knowledge of swapping in and out individual tiles for animation, (like kuja's/matrixz hacks) If i'm able to allow for certain tiles to be swapped, and not just 00-7F, I can forsee many levels using CHR animation.

I'm not looking to do anything right now. Basicly I'm looking for recruters. All my up to date files are on my old laptop which I'm unable to obtain at this point.

If anyone is interested, many thanks, and just post in this thread. Thank You to everyone, and I apologize for yet another issue with the release of this hack.

Many Thanks

EDIT

Here are the 8 Robot Masters (as of 2-28-10)



A side note about a particular Robot Master

Heatman = I've already used him in Ultra 1, but I was debating to using him again, since my asm skills have vastly improved over the years. However, there is a member here called 'Jeffrey' that introduced me to one of his ideas for a robot master. It intrigued me, and I agreed to have him appear as Heatman's replacement. I won't reveal anything about it unless Jeffrey confirms it's ok. The song I will be doing for this level will be Blaze Heatnix from Megaman X6.

*raises hand in the air and waves it like a madman* ME! ME!! I volunteer!!!

Granted, I'm not an expert, but I learn better with hands-on experience, so let's do this thing.

My dear Infidelity just tell me what you need. I would even go for you through the hell and the abyss as long my deeds helps your project to prosper.

However if you are looking for more designers, pay Sprites.INC and Shyguy Kingdom a visit and ask there for supporters. If you do, present also your work there to kinda personate the ones which are looking for something special, which is worth their time.

Are you using a special editor that you or someone else coded, or are you using a modified version of MegaFLE X? Just curious.

I don't have a problem with any of the bosses you have there, but I was hoping to see at least 1 or 2 all-new original bosses of your own. I know you have the talent and skills to do that, but this is your hack, and you're free to do what you want.

As for assistance, I wouldn't mind really, but I haven't ROM hacked in a very long time, mostly due to lack of time (too much real life stuff I'm dealing with), and whevenever I have the urge to hack, I suffer from a lack of inspiration and motivation. And if I hack again, I want to work on something of my own. I can contribute ideas, and maybe help with some ASM stuff, but that's about it. If I have any ideas or level design ideas that I think would be great for your hack, I will PM them to you.

I wish you luck with your project.

Modified version of megafle.

His wont work with any other kind of mm4 rom except his own.

I also use a custom version of megafle, designed to only work with my game mm oddyssey, it doesn't work with any other kind of mm3 rom. I was seriously considering wanting to share my custom MegaFLE with people too if i ever get any help from people for my game too after i release my demo any time soon now.

What exactly is custom about it? I know that you converted the MM4 ROM so that it makes use of CHR-ROM instead of it being completely PRG-ROM. I think that is pretty cool, and I'm guessing that took a bit of work to do. I'm assuming that for the most part, the custom editor takes advantage of expanded ROMs, and different locations where levels, sprites, and other data may be stored.

Don't mean to be offtopic but what about Puresabe's Rockman 4MI.

I don't know if he build his levels with his own programming skills since no Rockman 4 editors can work on them.

Just to reclairify, I'm just looking for people to create levels, I'm not worrying about asm in anyway from anybody. I can take care of the asm for everything, I just need level designers really bad.

As for custom bosses, as I mentinoed earlier there is a member here that showed me one of his designs, and it will be Heatman's replacement, so there will be at least 1 new boss.

However, if someone is has a great idea for a boss, and has the sprites for it already, I may consider doing another custom boss. Again I just want this game out of my life and done with, and would appreciate any help that people are willing to offer.

Thanks again.

Feel free to use my cartoon self, I'd love to see myself make a cameo in a ROM hack!

I could draw out whatever you need & such, or you can see my work on facebook.

kind of linear, but meh
I didn't have any screens, so I threw this together. It's a little more linear then I would like but whatever. At the end there is a warp to an underwater level.

I played the demo of this a couple times and it was really good, so I definitly hope you get the help you need. I'm most excited about the new weapons that Infidelity was working on, as I think the best MM hacks are the ones that change the guns - feels less like a retread. I dont think I can be too helpful, but I'll definitly play any unfinished levels you have if you need some feedback.

I noticed in the demo that Plant Man doesnt do anything if you dont move towards him, is that intentional or a bug?
