It's taking quite a while for him to get here. I'm going to start the stream and hopefully he'll get here soon. http://www.twitch.tv/standardtoaster

Edit: Brian Link is here now. He's player 3.

 

[Archangel]

By the way I was wondering. Is there or will there be a list of the New Advance techs in the game? Like Bowser's super jump cancel for example.

maybe there should be a link in the character pages for character specific ATs.
somewhat like the general ATs list---> http://projectm.dantarion.com/changes/ats

the character write-ups are nice but people can easily miss info in those walls of text

 

[Cubelarooso]

Unrestricted Camera Code and 1P Vs. Matches will likely be included in the codeset. We won't be releasing a .txt though.

Could you include the code to allow color choice during team matches?
…Is there a code to allow color choice during team matches?

 

[MonkUnit]

What do you mean by that? Being able to use Blue while you're Team Red?

 

[Vigilante]

You're tearing me apart, server crash!

Seriously, you guys should set up approximately ten mirrors. That'll be cool.

The only mirror we'll have will be on my ceiling because I'm so dang sexy.

Jokes aside, I know I generally prefer watching singles.

Assuming I'm not under some great fundamental misunderstanding:
I read that one concern of the Backroom is for servers being able to handle all the downloads when it is released. If I may make a suggestion it would be to first have a silent release on this thread. Just a post without changing the thread title. That would divide the waves of downloads into 2 easier-to-handle chunks.

Spoiler

Plus, us more active fans can feel special and rewarded

 

[JediKnightTemplar]

I like that idea. That probably means the PMBR won't.

 

[Ecks]

Crashing the server can't be avoided. Put some Megaupload and Filesonic mirrors.

But seriously, if the hype is as crazy as last time, that server's going down like raft in the Bermuda Triangle.

 

[Cubelarooso]

What do you mean by that? Being able to use Blue while you're Team Red?

Yeah, it'd make adding textures simpler to be able to replace team slots with whatever without worry of the substitute being out-of-place. And allowing players options as to how they wish to play is just good in general.

 

[MonkUnit]

Or you could just use a red texture on red team rather than putting a red texture on blue.

 

[drsusredfish]

thats why you in the BR you so smart..

 

[Ecks]

I know nothing of Brawl's workings, but I assume you'd have to change how Brawl recognizes teams.

Or make it something static, like player1&4 are always team a and player2&3 are always team b.

Lol I think you mean "misunderstanding". Silent release, please? If only by a couple of hours?

 

[Mid0ri]

Yup.

I wish. Hopefully we'll have enough mirrors that it wouldn't be too bad.

Getting 4-5K downloads in the first week wouldn't be terribly surprising. I'd expect quite a bit more, honestly.

If it ever gets that bad, have you guys considered having it available to download via a bittorrent through a tracker? Ideally this way the more people that download it the easier it would make it for others (granted if people would be seeding afterwards of course ^^). Just food for thought.

and btw I prefer watching singles :D

 

[phurgawtin]

and btw I prefer watching married couples :D

 

[Cubelarooso]

I know nothing of Brawl's workings, but I assume you'd have to change how Brawl recognizes teams.

It's already possible in the one-player modes, so I'm not so sure.
But I can't find an appropriate code, so nevermind.

 

[Machiavelli.CF]

Thanks for that, Fixed.
I don't know a lot about servers so I wouldn't want anyone to get too attached to the idea. I could very well be wrong about how much it would help. I wouldn't know if a couple hours between would be enough but It seems like the idea would, at most, divide the stress into two halves (Which I'd guess is a big help). Either that or, like people have said, mirrors on mediafire would be useful. I can't imagine any real problems with either ideas. Both are free and avoid damage well.

 

[FireBall Stars]

Are Zelda and Sheik gods of counter-picking now? Or do they have similar match-ups against other characters? Who do they both suck against?

Pretty much impossible to say right now.

Btw, neko has a spare server that we can use for downloads. If two servers aren't enough, then we have no clue of the amount of hype we have created.

So, our toon link update was posted even on the Zelda Universe fansite some days ago.
http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/project-m-toon-link-mod/

Just to know, someone here was responsible for that? haha.

So, everyone interested in Sonic, G&W, Mario, Luigi and Ness stay tuned for my streams since those are the characters I've been playing most.
Also Ike, Snake, Falcon and Lucas which are the characters Dan uses most.

I'll always post the stream on the facebook page.

 

[ph00tbag]

Speaking of teams, when are you guys gonna get gold/yellow, black and white teams set up?

(Mostly joking)

 

[hotdogturtle]

Is the download gonna be a direct zip of the files or it is gonna be an "installer" like demo 1?

 

[Ecks]

It's already possible in the one-player modes, so I'm not so sure.
But I can't find an appropriate code, so nevermind.

I was talking about the character selection itself. How would the game know which characters are supposed to be teammates? That's why I said it should be set in stones which players would be teammates.

 

[MaxThunder]

Is the download gonna be a direct zip of the files or it is gonna be an "installer" like demo 1?

you do have the option to download demo 1 as a zip file too... (i downloaded both... just in case...)

 

[Evilagram]

Could Riivolution support be provided as an option again this time? It's an Elf now, meaning it's compatible with smashstack.

 

[9Kplus1]

I don't see why it wouldn't be. Things such as custom SFX obviously will not be included, but there's no reason behind why the installer shouldn't retain the "Rivolution [with] Online" option. Then again, if push comes to shove, most of the files can be placed in the "Project M" or in my case -- because I'm cool -- "Custom1" folder.

 

[Master WGS]

Other than changes resulting from physics changes, will the characters from Demo 1 be all that different?

 

[Juushichi]

Lucas and Snake are very different it seems. Marth sword arcs and stuff were finally corrected, iirc. I think Fox/Falco got their jumps tweaked as well. From what I've seen in streams, Sonic has some different moves too.

 

[FireBall Stars]

As shadic said, the download ways are one of the things being discussed, so we cannot give a completely sure answer.

 

[iLink]

+1 for riivolution

 

[Kink-Link5]

I still don't know wtf riivolution is or whatever.

 

[GP&B]

Even just the proper xml for the setup would be nice. I've been wanting to switch to Riiv for the longest time, but I've been lazy about reorganizing my folders and files. I'll definitely do it if there's Riiv support for Demo 2.

 

[iLink]

I still don't know wtf riivolution is or whatever.

Basically lets you turn on and off files. You can have multiple codesets and switch between them and turn on and off stage/characters textures and such. It also allows sound replacement.

It would also be ideal for switching between the actual codeset and the wifi/replay friendly one without having to swap out the SD card for another one.

 

[Kink-Link5]

I could use some sound replacement for Zelda's squeeky shoes. They drive me nuts.

 

[`dazrin]

+1 for the good ol' fashioned non-hack method :]

 

[Kink-Link5]

Old fashioned implies old, and non-hack is quite recent compared to Gecko OS.

Get at my semantics.

 

[iLink]

+1 for the good ol' fashioned non-hack method :]

He was implying that you can use riivolution as the non-hack method.

 

[GP&B]

I'm pretty sure Project M 100% supports the non-HBC method as their primary means of usage. What's being asked is that if there should be support for Riivolution as an option.

In response to `daze, mind you.

 

[9Kplus1]

Other than changes resulting from physics changes, will the characters from Demo 1 be all that different?

Every character in the currently available Demo will have been changed at least somewhat. Once Demo 2 comes out, even the smallest tweaks will become obvious to everyone.

 

[Kink-Link5]

And some of them will be Lucas.
