Yeah, it's finally done. I belive the zip is roughly 2.8 megs.

List of things modded:

People into Reploids.
Pickups into "cans," like the Energy cans from the classic series.
Explosions into the explosions from X4-X6. (includes sound)
Blood is darker.
Nifty jumping and landing sound effects added.
Weapons into semi-futuristic and occasionally Mega Man-themed recolorations for the most part. Not very imaginitive, I know. Sorry.
Most weapons have a modded firing sound effect, though some of these are shared. Rambo Bow and Flamer not modded.
Tobacco into bubble gum. For no reason at all, really. Cigars are the same, though.

Normal hair is shaggier to resemble Mega Man hair.
Mr. T Style hair has been replaced by a very normal hairdo with a visor a la Protoman. It looks cool if you're wearing a helmet.
No other hairdos were modded.
Helmet = Zero helmet.
Hat = X helmet.
Gold chain = Yellow scarf, a la Protoman again.
Silver chain = Red scarf, because I thought it might look cool on non-red Reploids.

For more information, there is a readme which should just go into your main Soldat folder when you install it (packaged for easy use with the Mod Changer.)

I'm gonna try to send it to Meandor now, but I can't guerantee it will work. Even among crappy connections, this connection sets new standards of crap.[xx(]

In the meantime, gaze upon this poorly-assembled series of screenshots.

Edit: Okaaayyyy, why the hell isn't my poorly-assembled series of screenshots showing up?

Edit: Mod finally uploaded to Meandor's webspace; can be downloaded here: www.turrino.com/soldat/MMmod.zip

If you can't get them to work send them to me at ville.kallio@gmail.com and i will try.

Sure, I'll do that. Thanks a lot. Hang on a sec, I'll send them presently.

Looks quite cool. Not the guns really but interface/gostek are good.

Zero72
September 17, 2004, 7:24 pm
Thanks a lot. To both of you, I guess.[:-boggled]

Anyway, there's bad news. I mentioned how lousy my connection is... I haven't got a prayer of making this thing to through E-mail. And furthermore, my CD burner software is screwed up, so I can't get it onto another computer, either.

I'm gonna try to get some new burning software over the weekend. Once I do that, I'll put it on a CD and take it to a computer with a more stable connection, so THEN I can upload it. Jeez.

I worked too damn hard on this thing for all this stuff to start happening now.[:-indifferent]

Edit: Crazy, last-ditch effort: I think I'll try to contact Meandor via MSN. It might have a fraction of a chance at working.

Yeah they really look like small megamans, LOL!

BTW:It would look cooler if the guns were like in the mageman games a hand with a gun, I u understood what I tried to say.

Zero72
September 17, 2004, 8:34 pm
I understand what you mean, and I considered it. Just having the weapon firing from an arm cannon an' all that. It's a nice idea in theory, but I don't know if I could execute it. For instance, what would you do when you dropped a weapon? How could you tell the weapons apart? Etc.

I know the weapons I made are uninspired, but you get used to them, and I tried to give them interesting names. You might like a few of them better once you've fired them. I think everybody should spend a minute or two with the Pocket Buster.[:D]

blackdevil0742
September 17, 2004, 8:36 pm
You could color them differently...wich one is the pocket buster?

Zero72
September 17, 2004, 8:53 pm
The Socom.

By the way, I've split the file into 8 framgents using WinRar, and I'm sending them to BovinePlethora as we speak. Once we're done with that, I'll have him E-mail the zip to Meandor for me, so you may not have to wait all weekend after all.[|)]

The downside to the explosion is that it makes the flamer look pretty weird.

Well, you could upload it...

Zero72
September 19, 2004, 3:12 am
Well as far as I know, it should be more or less sitting in Meandor's mailbox, so I want to give that another couple of days before I go looking for alternate hosts.

Should such an occasion arise, I already have two good choices, so I'm all set.

Perhaps some of them are a little uninspired, but I like them. It wasn't as easy as you might think to get those sound effect either. At least the gostek seems to impress everybody.

Anyway, pending a better host, I have decided to go ahead and TEMPORARILY post it on my own webspace. Temporarily, you hear? I've only got 10 MB of space to use. (Fortunately they don't mind remote linking.)

EDIT: Taken down. It's hosted elsewhere now anyway.

Zero72
September 20, 2004, 6:47 am
Jeez, Munkee... You get all the sound effects, you buy me a Soldat registration, and now you host the mod for me... You're the man.[|)]

Edit: Mini-contest!

Some of the weapons have non-Mega Man namesakes.

Anybody who can identify any of these namesakes gets a cookie.

In the future, I'll probably make a second version which will replace all the hand-held weapons with arm cannons... but don't hold your breath.

No problem.

Like I said, I'll probably wind up making a version two with said improvement.

If I do, though, I can tell you that I'm likely to have a hell of a time thinking up all the weapons.

the interface Rox,and gostek too.

It doesn't happen very often, but I do get bored. [:P]

I was wondering if you could redo health packs. Currents ones are the classic energy tanks, from like MM2, and your X5 Interface...well it just looks too shiny for them.

That, and all the weapons are from the X series, and so are the characters, so they also dont go with health packs.

As a Mega Mag-fan, I take great offence in that mod. Mega Man didn't carry around guns! He had his trustworthy Mega Buster loaded with various powers. And I haven't even heard of the powers of those guns!

I know there's a conflict of time lines, but I couldn't think of anything else that looked good for the pickups. I'm rather fond of them. quote:As a Mega Mag-fan, I take great offence in that mod. Mega Man didn't carry around guns! He had his trustworthy Mega Buster loaded with various powers. And I haven't even heard of the powers of those guns!I'm well aware that Mega Man doesn't carry around guns, and I'm obviously painfully aware of the Buster. The reason you haven't heard of these guns is because I made them up. I addressed this issue at least once earlier in the thread. [:-crazy]

Sadly and stupidly, there is no transparent color for the pickups, so you'd end up with some solid-color square with an energy capsule drawn on it, which is ugly. Furthermore, you'd need a different one for each of the pickups.

Kelba
October 19, 2004, 4:32 am
I mean the actual pickup, not the energy storage container if thats what you mean. The big version is like a hexagon, but if I remember correctly, the smaller health capsules are small squares. Same with Ammo Recharge in Megaman, but u can use the ammo one for another thing in Soldat
