Mega Man X6 Tweaks (v2.6) [on hiatus, pending code refactoring]

[acediez]

I tested it, and I always get it to reset correctly when touching the ground. However, it doesn't reset when you touch a wall... I'll fix that on the next update. And, for simplicity, instead of adding another option to make it infinite, I'll simply allow for a ridiculously high number.

I'll wait a bit in case something else comes up.


Edit: nvm, if you jump really fast it doesn't always reset in the ground either. I'll fix that too.

I'm satisfied with only 9 spins, I don't know about the players in general. The adjustments are so wonderful that I'm playing a lot.

very good

[pleasejust]

Could you add something to the start screen to show that the patch has applied properly. Maybe "Tweaks v2.1" and so forth in the corner of the screen somewhere? Thanks.

[pating]

I think it wasn't necessary because the original megaman x6 start screen didn't wrote that it was version 1.1

Congrats on 2.0/2.1 I know what I'll be up to this weekend. Cool to see an X Challenge Armor palette option, love bonus stuff like that.

Cool to see my Tweaks logo get some use, too.

v2.2
- (Bug Fix) Zero's Skills/Ensuizan/Air Mode: repetitions will now reset correctly when touching the ground or a wall
- (Bug Fix) Mugshots: Fixed Dr. Light's mugshot (transparent pixels on the outline)
- (Bug Fix) Nightmare Effects: Fixed Nightmare Dark opacity modification not affecting Amazon Area/Hidden Area.
- (Improvement) Zero's Skills/Ensuizan/Air Mode: repetitions limit increased

v2.2
- Zero's Skills/Ensuizan/Air Mode: repetitions will now reset correctly when touching the ground or a wall
- Zero's Skills/Ensuizan/Air Mode: repetitions limit increased (Patcher option)
- Mugshots: Fixed Dr. Light's mugshot (transparent pixels on the outline)
- Nightmare Effects: Fixed Nightmare Dark opacity modification not affecting Amazon Area/Hidden Area.

At last, this should be the end of every little bug and nitpick of the 2.0 release! Very happy that this has come so far!

[EDIT] A fixed 2.2 was uploaded today, which fixed an issue with the Blade and Shadow Armor mugshots not being updated to the final versions that I made right before 2.0's release. I'll explain those changes to everybody in a later post, but I need a break from these drawings for a bit, because it drove me nearly mad trying to iron out all of my nitpicks with them.

Now absolutely everything seems to be in order.

The red attacks are supposed to make your player move slowly. That's the whole point, while Gate moves at normal speed.

each color has different effects...

There does seem to be some strange slowdown in base X6 for some reason though... Oddly, the darkening effect when Wolfang appears slows the game down noticeably. I don't know why such a basic effect does this, but increasing the clock speed in Beetle PSX a little eliminates it entirely, so it's a non-issue in this day and age.

The weirdest thing about it is that it doesn't happen (or at least not that badly) in the boss rush rematch, even though it has the same screen black out effect

The most annoying slowdowns for me are the Giga Attack effects. All of them, including Rekkoha. In X5 there's no background effects, and there's no slowdowns...
... I actually tried to remove them, but didn't get too far (it wasn't THAT important )

[Androo_]

Be confused because, on the PS2 version of Mega Man X6, sometimes it didn't seem slow.
but its alright.

I had a slow problem with this opacity effect, not sure it should be my emulator, it hardly happens.

the tweaks look perfect, I can play several times without bothering me

There was a problem with it not working in the Amazon's secret area, but that should have been corrected with this latest version.

I found some strange bug(Or is this intentional?) :
So i have Incomplete shadow armor which is only Leg and Body part equipped.
When i go to the Sigma Stage 3, Everything is okay. You can crouch and auto charge, rapid fire, everything is turned on.
But when i go to the boss room. Everything is set to off and you are unable to crouch anymore.

Note : Ignore the high health bar thing, It was intentional.

Wait are these menu options (rapid fire, nightmare effects) added with this hack?

Nightmare effects is, but wasn't rapid fire in the original? I might be confusing it with the GBC "Xtreme" games.

[Thirteen 1355]

Xtreme has Rapid Fire, I remember. I've never seen this menu for X6 though. Nonetheless, it's amazing that the nightmare effects option has been added in such a manner.

[acediez]

Turning off the Navigator and Nightmare Effects is on me, it's right there in the highlights on the first post (check it if you haven't)

That's a very bizarre bug. Something is interfering with the reading of options inside the boss rooms (enabling crouching is also handled by the options byte, it's just always on and you have no control over it)

I'll take a look

[praetarius5018]

When I try to use "no stop" mid-air stop duration for blade armor I get a crash with
unknown opcode 00000001 at 8007C7DC when I try to air dash in said armor.
Minimum or normal duration doesn't have that problem.
