Survivors are given a set of weapons like a standard match of Last Man Standing, but they are also given several useable items:

• A Gift-type Assist (ex Eddie) OR An Attack-type Assist (ex Treble, Tango)
  
• Up to 3 Reload-type Assists (Usually W-Tanks)
  
• A Mobility-type Assist (ex. Item-1-2-3, Wire, Rush Coil)
  
• A Passive-type Assist (Usually Energy Balancer)

(These item gives all use v6b's item tables, so if you add any items to these categories, they can also be given with no extra setup required)

Acts of valor in defense of the community increases your morale. Fragging infected players as a survivor grants you Frenzy bonuses based on the number of frags:

• 2 Frags allows you to become Enraged. Your firing speed is doubled.
  
• 5 Frags allows you to go Berserk. Your projectiles fire in a spread pattern.

Last-ditch survivors also gain a Frenzy bonus, as well as an Exit Unit, and up to 5 Reload-type Assists.
Frenzy Bonuses automatically apply by default, but can be made into a usable item by toggling it to manual in the menu.
(Frenzy bonuses do not stack. Berserk replaces Enraged.)

Survivors who have certain items can bind a shortcut button to use them, called the Panic Button. This defaults to Reload, but can be bound to several buttons, including Use/Interact, Crouch, or an entirely custom bind.

The Panic Button appears in the top-right corner when it can be used. You can press it to activate the item it is highlighting. By default, only Exit Unit can be used with it, but if you enable the Frenzy Bonus to be manually applied, the Panic Button can be used to activate that as well.


Infected players play similarly to old versions of the Rage Roboenza Mode. They have increased HP, a melee attack that's a one-touch infection, a high jump, a climb, and take big knockback when they get hit. Build your horde and use your slippery movement to break into survivor nests!

Patient Zero is the first infected player in a given round. They're given a massive HP pool, and an image of the virus's progenitor follows the Patient Zero until its first infection, guaranteeing its spread through reduced knockback and ripper immunity.

If an infected player strikes a particularly weak survivor, the survivor perishes, torn apart by the infected robot. This invigorates the robot, giving them +20 Health and +20 seconds added to their lifetime.

Create a server in MM8BDM v6b running in TeamLMS, get some friends or strangers together and have fun!

For additional balance tweaks, I recommend checking the MM8BDM Wiki's server settings page and the v6b weapon remover to fine-tune your experience. Using the v6b weapon remover, I like to run the following commands:

This mod makes use of the possession script system to remove buffs and debuffs from the player upon infection. If your weapon mod has special buffs or debuffs that are exclusive to your mod, make sure you have a possession pickup script to properly remove those so infected players do not permanently get that change.

If you have a mod that replaces any music from this pack, you need to make sure the credits are shifted to the correct people and use the correct formatting. Here's an excerpt from the LANGUAGE file in IX-Pack:

Note that this map card text adds a space to the beginning of the actual text. This pushes the text of the map card slightly to the right so it fits in with the IDM map card design.
It also has a custom color code, "IDMCARD".

XDM's map card formatting is similar, but different in a way. Instead of slotting in a space before the music credits, it inserts a full line break:

XDM map cards similarly have "XDMCARD" as their color code.

Finally, XDM01 and XDM02 maintain their own copies of the songs used in the vanilla maps. This means replacing the vanilla tracks for MM10BLA and MM10DW4 will not replace the songs for these maps. This way, you can replace the two songs separately and allow them to have separate music credits.

If you're replacing music in your addon wad, please make sure to follow these standards so the map cards don't look out of place.

XDM02 - Wily Station Firmament has a fake M-Tank. It's a custom pickup that gives you a normal W-Tank on pickup. The only difference is the way it appears when spawning, and its pickup message.
This item is unavailable in v6a due to the difficulty of backporting v6b's W-Tank functionality to ThePits.

If your mod has special functionality with W-Tanks, it will need to handle this in its own way.
The file is located under

You can replace this file in your mod.

When hosting with MM8BDM-v6a (for mods that have not yet updated), make sure to include the latest version of ThePits pk3.
Map Codes

Program fails to run
Make sure the program and all the files surrounding it are properly extracted. In the folder containing them, hold shift and then right click. Click Open Powershell. Type ./PK3Reorder.exe.
There should be an https:// url in the output. Download and install the software it goes to. The package should be from Microsoft directly, otherwise I would link it here. .NET Framework 6.0 is required to run the program.

Program Runs, but...
Error: File not found.
Run the program again, but specify a different location.

Error: Could not create a folder called "textures" (or "voxels" or "animdefs" etc.)
This occurs when there are files named the same as folders in the pk3. Rename the file with an extension of some kind and then try again.
Example: there’s a file in the root folder the pk3 called “textures” but you have TX namespaces in your wads so pk3Reorder.exe needs to create a folder called “textures.” Edit the pk3 to rename “textures” to “textures.txt” or “textures.misc” or whatever else, then run the program again. This issue might repeat for other file types, but is most common with TEXTURES and DECORATE.

Warning: Map contains non-map lumps.
This program only checks between known namespaces. It cannot make assumptions of what the file is supposed to be based on its type or placement because WAD files strip away things like file extensions and studying the file structure of every supported type is infeasible for a project such as this. If any files are outside of proper namespaces, you will need to move them manually.
