#1 - All weapon damages got re-balanced for players to have a more durable, balanced and better experience in all game modes meaning that this project is also meant for competitive play, players also get slower when firing like modern tactical FPS games.

#2 - You can either run to be faster or walk slowly to prevent making noise, which is basically a requirement for any game that attempts to be competitive, remember to bind a key to +SPEED in the control options. Also, you can invert the logic from running > walking to walking > running at Options > Accessibility Menu, there's an option there for you to invert the controls.

#3 - All weapon sprites from Mega Man 1 to Gamma Mark 2 and even cut scene weapons were remade by (TNTPT) Striker, giving TNT its own graphical style and maintaining everything consistent.

#4 - All weapon projectiles and attacks were re-made in 3D models/voxels by (TNTPT) Urutau. Soon we will also have equipment related to the player in 3D, such as Wire Adaptor, etc. Not Eddie Bomber and Treble Sentry though, because those are considered characters. Currently, 3D Models can be disabled in Zandronum's own configurations if you don't like it.

#5 - All weapons and player related effects have dynamic lights alongside with universal bump mapping which gives a ray tracing effect in many light emitters. Just like 3D Models, you can disable the bump mapping effect on Zandronum's configurations too.

#6 - The atmosphere of maps got universally enhanced with automatic sound reverberation that gets added depending on the horizontal and vertical size of the room you are standing on. If you don't like this effect, check Options > Accessibility Settings, there's an option to turn it on or off there.

#7 - Remember about footstep sounds? Well, each skin has its own footstep sounds for logical reasons. For example, Tengu Man's skin will make jet boost sounds instead of footstep sounds as he flies constantly while moving, Turbo Man's skin makes wheel sounds and it goes on and on. Some other things also changes depending on your skin, Mega Ball for example cannot be kicked by Robot Masters that does not have a leg to kick, so they use their hands like volley.

#8 - All weapons on the game are fixed, you can charge your buster without getting stuck on the firing sprite. All attacks on the entire game, such as explosions, etc, got enhanced with dynamic sounds that depends on the distance, debris, smoke, wall decals, and everything else you think a explosion would have or do, you can feel the impact and strength of the weapons/attacks. Charging weapons like Arrow Buster, Duo Fist, etc, all have charging particles/effects according to the original games with dynamic lights, etc.

#9 - A dynamic visor/helmet was created for Maestro, alongside the "MaestrOS Disguise Unit" which is an explanation as to why and how he can change skins to disguise as other characters. The dynamic visor/helmet was inspired on the best projects we have yet on the Doom community which is Brutal Doom/Project Brutality, the dynamic part of the visor stays with the fact it moves according to your camera movement enhancing the experience of the game, if you don't like this though, you can disable at Options > Accessibility options, there's an option in there for you to decide whether it stays or not.

#10 - Collateral effects for players and monsters exists in this mod, if you hit a player or a monster with a fire weapon, he'll catch on fire, with dynamic lights and all. You can already imagine what happens when you hit them with a water, oil or ice weapon. Don't worry about balance though, players don't take damage to the collateral effects, only monsters. However, getting set on fire or frozen makes noise and have dynamic lights like stated before, you can get spotted on the map even if you walk slowly, so be careful.

#11 - Quite possibly the biggest and most detailed map in MM8BDM, TNT: The Nano Tower is added alongside with one of the coolest classes/characters you're ever going to play, The Fog Guardian. All that allows you to play with a gigantic robot god/entity and have giant robot fights in a giant city.

TNT MAP IMAGES















TNT WEAPON VOXELS/MODELS IMAGES

ATTENTION! Some arts below are the first ones produced by TNTPT therefore they are very old, they are also inspired on the game Mother 1 R-70 robots sprites, we have decided to add these Sprites instead because of historical reasons.



The Nano God

In the beginning, only one force existed, an entity that absolutely no being knows how it originated. This known as The Nano God the being who would be responsible for the creation of the most powerful entity in existence known as Angelius.



Angelius

Angelius is a robotic entity of 64 meters high, composed of celestial nano machines, without the 5 senses (cannot touch, cannot hear, cannot see, cannot smell, cannot taste) designed by The Nano God. This being is responsible for the creation of existence and for the destruction of the same with his omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience. A small piece of Angelius's armor was placed on planets where there would be life, as it was inevitable that sin would be committed by beings from these planets and after billions of years The Nano Tower would rise.



The Nano Tower

The Nano Tower emerged from a small fragment of celestial nano machines, it used the materials found in the center of the planets to expand. After billions of years it begins its first stage of evolution by tearing those planets apart and with approximately 25 kilometers high it causes a earthquake that destroys 50% of all life on those planets. in the second stage of its evolution The Nano Tower begins to "breathe" expelling celestial nano machines throughout the atmosphere of the planets creating a great fog that blocks the stars that gave life to those planets making them extremely cold and hostile. In its third and final stage The Nano Tower activates all the particles of celestial nano machines on the atmosphere causing the beings from those planets to get contaminated by the fog transforming them into Fog Guardians.



The Fog Guardian

After a being is contaminated by the celestial nano machines it will use the
soul energy of the contaminated being to reproduce and transform it in a
brutal way into a Fog Guardian a robotic entity of 16 meters high, composed
of celestial nano machines, without the 5 senses (in reference to Angelius)
designed by The Nano Tower. These robots are responsible for the garrison of
The Nano Tower also having omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience due to
the fact that they use the souls of the beings who have undergone the process
of transformation as a source of energy and also placing them hostage against
The Nano God, if a Fog Guardian is killed or wiped out of existence the soul
of the being that has gone through the transformation process will be
destroyed not allowing a possible reincarnation of that soul. The only way
for the Fog Guardians to be destroyed and free the soul contained in it is
with the deprogramming of the celestial nano machines which only the robotic
entity Angelius can do.

Striker VS Angelius

Striker VS Angelius, inspired on the iconic scene from the franchise Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the first fan art TNT has received. Thank you for your support through all these years Striker!


Striker's The Nano God Fan Art

The Nano Tower's war flag created in 2017 on (TNT)'s war against (A3) or The Nano God HD fan art created by Striker, it is also used on TNT map's computer screens to this day.


Solomon

Solomon or Solomon1945 was a former (TNT) Clan member that used to play with us long ago, has created some projects such as unholy bosses which allows you to play with unholy's bosses as pre-defined classes instead of waiting to be morphed, has contributed with The Nano Tower project regarding some designs too.


Solaris

SolarMan 80 is a YouTuber and sprite animator who decided to take some inspiration on (TNTPT)'s work in 2022 and turned his character into Solaris, also made this Fan Art based on The Fog Guardian back then.


The Harbour Guardian

The Harbour Guardian original character created and designed by Shine Termiten. Back when the main idea was to create a specific Guardian for each area on The Nano Tower. However, it was cut out after we realized it would make the history way too bloated and complex for peoples to understand, as each and every guardian would require an explanation.


RyuRyu's Angelius Fan Art

Created by [tnt] Keleun's friend, a comrade from a very far away community trying to improve his drawing skills...


Magreluh's Angelius Fan Art

Magreluh is an old Spriter from the Brazilian community who hasn't shown up anymore, has done this awesome art before going into the unknown.


ITUDO's Angelius Fan Art

Q: Who are the members of TNTPT?

TNTPT A: TNTPT is formed by the following members:

(TNTPT) Past Legionary (Owner, programmer, mapper, spriter helper).
(Responsible for literally everything on the projects of TNTPT)

(TNTPT) Striker (Master spriter, master sound designer, master voxel maker).
(Master Spriter, responsible for the majority and most complex sprite works on
the project, the same for sound effects and voxels).

Q: What is TNT?

TNTPT A: The Nano Tower is a project that aims to bring a post apocalyptical freeroam map to explore alongside with original characters and lore. Just as a headsup, none of that has any connection with Mega Man, Capcom or any other franchise that may have been cited through the project. The Nano Tower is purely and completely original content.

Q: What do i do in TNT? Is there any objectives?

TNTPT A: Like how we explained before, The Nano Tower is a free roam map. That means its made for exploration for you to have fun with your friends. Stay in mind that The Nano Tower is quite possibly the biggest and most detailed map on Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch community. On future updates we are going to make it more and more detailed, making it more and more faithful to The Nano Tower's lore.

Q: Why is TNT map so laggy?

TNTPT A: ZDoom based engines rendering capabilities is single core, that basically means that even if you have, for example, a 4 core CPU it will only utilize 1 for the entire game and maybe a second core ONLY for sounds, midis, etc. If you want to have a good performance in bigger and more detailed maps, it is necessary to get a processor that will have high amounts of clock (GHz). TNT requires around 3.6 to 4.5 clock (GHz) in order to be played without problems this is the equivalent of newer processors such as 10th to 14th Intel processors. A good graphics card is also recommended ranging from GTX 10 series and beyond.

Q: Why it isn't possible to play as The Fog Guardian in maps that aren't TNT?

TNTPT A: We believe this is quite obvious, TNT is the unique map that is capable of handling it. However, don't take us wrong, it works perfectly fine in other maps as well, its just that he is way too big for those. If anyone wants to make a map or even a map pack to be able to play with it in other modes, then we have to inform you that you're going to have a lot of work...

Q: Can we make patches to change your mod on the way we prefer it?

TNTPT A: Sure, there is nothing that can stop you from doing this. However, stay in mind that doing this without infringing anything that is written on the READ-ME file under the DISCLAIMER section will be quite a hard task...

Q: My game lags even if its not TNT map, what should i do?

TNTPT A: Disable dynamic lights and 3D models overall, those will cause performance issues inevitably if you have a weak graphics card. If disabling it doesn't solve your problem, the unique thing we can recommend is that you try to get a computer that is at least more competitive for today's standards.

Q: Why my buster swings? Why my screen shakes? Is there any way to change this?

TNTPT A: Check the accessibility settings at Settings > Accessibility Settings, it contains many options for you to customize your game on the way you want it to be. Everything on this project can be changed according to your preferences.

TNT project is the primary project of TNTPT. Regarding the original content of TNT project, keep in mind that all content related to it created by TNTPT members has no direct relationship with Capcom, Konami, Ubisoft or with the Mega Man franchise universe, this only uses MM8BDM as a base to tell a completely original story. That basically means that Sprites, sounds, graphics, lore, characters, codes, etc, that is created by TNTPT members aren't property of Capcom, Konami, Ubisoft the Mega Man franchise universe, any other project on the MM8BDM community or its team. Unless, of course, if said content was made towards them before making it into TNT project. TNTPT members also does not receive support from other parts of the community meaning that all the content created by TNTPT that is directed towards its respective owner Past Legionary to make the production of said projects possible, are now property of Past Legionary. This is very well explained to TNTPT members before they start being part of it. More information can be found within the READ-ME file inside the project pk3. Please, do not attempt to steal any content created by TNTPT members, all you are going to get is community distrust on whatever content you plan on investing with it. That is, you may get in trouble if you attempt to do so.
