June. 15, 2024, 11:55 PM Cutstuff Archive
As alluded to in Cutstuff's initial shutdown announcement, the official archive download is now here! Within the download below, you'll find a record of all threads that were public at the time of Cutstuff's closure in text format. Note that all post times are in GMT time zone.

In the interest of keeping this new site a fresh start with mostly up to date content, I'd like to ask that people don't use this archive to indiscriminately mirror old forum posts.

While the post format is purposefully similar, it isn't exactly the same, so many posts may not look right when directly copied over. Additionally, Cutstuff suffered rampant link rot (broken Discord / MediaFire links), so many older threads simply won't have useful downloads whenever mirrored.

My exception to this is for any content creators / maintainers who have relatively up to date mods. If using this archive helps you get your projects mirrored to this new forum sooner, then by all means go ahead. I'd just again recommend that you preview the thread to make sure it looks and downloads right when transferred over.

As a final note, some of the archive's older posts may contain unsavory or inappropriate content, some of which might be considered harassment today. Please keep in mind that the people who have made these posts will have moved on and many of them have grown past the more abrasive tendencies demonstrated by some of these posts.

Just because something was posted on the old forums does not mean it is appropriate to do or say here.

Is there any "view unread posts" function here? I can't find it.

Just pretend this button always existed, thanks.

The video above is only applicable to MM8BDM v6a servers / offline play which are running the following file:
https://allfearthesentinel.com/zandronum/download.php?file=v6a_menudef_3.2-240405-2229a.pk3

The option to bind a push to talk button can also be found in the Customize Controls menu's Multiplayer Interaction section, so there's no need to run a console command to bind it.

For these menus and options to be available in MM8BDM v6b, the following file must be loaded:
https://allfearthesentinel.com/zandronum/download.php?file=v6b_menudef_3.2-240405-2229a.pk3

MM8BDM v6c will fix the menus to properly include these voice chat menus and options.
June. 2, 2024, 10:11 PM [SUGGESTION] More Details on Automap
As the person who implemented this initially for Gondola, I definitely would be interested in having a similar feature carry over. Regarding weapons, however, the concern was that it'd require modders (and ourselves) to implement an extra actor and graphic for every weapon that we make.

Reason being, Zandronum doesn't have the feature to allow us to transfer the sprite from one actor to another. Even if it did, we'd still probably want to use a separate graphic that's offsetted differently, since using the current weapon icon's offsets causes a weird swivel effect as you rotate the automap.

I'm also not sure if automap icons for the circuit board and terminator sphere pickups would be the most fitting for those game modes since they don't use the radar like CTF and Skulltag. While those modes were still getting overhauled in V6B, we toyed with the idea of having a "proximity" radar instead of the typical CTF radar, but I'm not sure if there'd be a way to reflect that mechanic on the automap.

This isn't up to MM8BDM either way, this would need to be implemented in Zandronum.

It's currently a set EST. I can look into time zone options at a later time.

Welcome to the new Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch website!

Unfortunately, Cutstuff became a bit unmanageable with its age, so with that in mind, we've built this new site custom for MM8BDM with newer tools. With this new site, you'll find better integration between the forum and news blog so that new projects and events get a spotlight in their own dedicated section.

Additionally, with the introduction of a brand new server browser and Discord hub, it'll be easier than ever for new players to hop right into the action. We hope that this'll help new players become active in the community much quicker.

Let us know if you encounter any issues with the new site and we'll get it patched up quick!
