btw i still don't know if i am allowed to post shit like this here. i don't have a proper place to post drawings on lemmygrad as they are not political in nature, just drawings of silly characters and stuff

i DID post some drawings here and got good response so i do not know. i don't wanna be seen as a spammer so i might gradually post shit like the green haired character drawing post

i hope this fits. i draw on mspaint, i know i know. i am not a professional artist i just doodle and shitpost for fun. this is also my first post here because i am too amateur for the average post around this hexbear community

i drew this for a post i have made at c/games about running a mega man fangame (mm8bdm) on linux, so have the mm2wood fellow separate from the tutorial

nice >:]

 

ay mates, lelkins here. is this a new unnamed foss game thing? no! this is an old unnamed foss game thing, in a time when i used to have a gemini (basically internet 0.5, text only, uses a sort of markdown-type thing. some of you know what i am talking about).

yes, i was a foss game advocate before being here! yes, i am recycling stuff i wrote in 2022! YES, THIS IS FROM LIKE 3 YEARS AGO AS OF WRITING THIS EXTRA TEXT. 2022-05-08!

i actually got noticed at the time, with a website known as "tuxmachines" (gemini link through a web proxy) showing my beginner's guide to emulation that was made back in 2023-01-04 don't judge me i put the date like that because it was the style at the time.

my posts are no longer visible there, i planned to make them into an html thing with pictures and stuff but i didn't do that when i had my own website made with the help of a friend because i was lazy as hell. you know what i can do? post here for the world to see! yeeeees, now that's more like it!

also do not judge me for recycling posts i already made, my life is a mess right now and i do not have much time to write something new (soon? i dunno, don't count on it!)

and before you ask me "lelkins, why is this open source? this is no source code". the creators allow you to edit the game for mod purposes similar to srb2 or ring racers (RING RACERS MENTIONED, REJOICE!!) according to a long gone forum post. i saw it with my eyes, i consider it open source. not free due to obvious copyrighted assets by capcom. the engine is free, the code is open due to the pk3 and wad formats, but the characters and stuff are not. think of it as open source as sonic robo blast 2.

edit: i have added a screenshot that i took on november 13th, 2024 on the genzedong matrix server. had to scour really good

anyhow, let's hear 2022 lelkins with

How to play Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch on Linux

ay mates, lelkins here. i have this knack for classic doom. anything can run doom (including, but not limited to toasters, fridges, road kill skunks, potatoes, my hp 250 g2, your great great great grandparent's maiden's dog house and many more) which is basically a piece of the craptop gaming holy grail, and this fangame is no exception.

mega man 8-bit deathmatch is actually a full-on doom total conversion that includes the entire cast from the mega man franchise (even the nice >:] woodman) in a story-driven quake-like deathmatch game and runs nicely on most low-spec machines. this fangame heavily relies on zandronum, a doom source port that focuses on multiplayer and bots, which is thankfully on linux. even if it's this simple to have running on linux, they don't have an official launcher like how they have on windows. you could run mm8bdm through wine, but it doesn't even work properly aND WE WANT NATIVE, DAMMIT!

the reason why i made this entire thing is because i wanted to play mm8bdm on linux, i found out how to run it after looking at one forum thread with a small hint revolving around doomseeker and wanted to share with everyone. not many people know how to properly run this game on linux and i had to turn it into a full tutorial. it's so god damn fun, i HAVE to tell you to try this game out, be it singleplayer or multiplayer.

Preparation

you need the following:

  • zandronum (available on arch: yay -S zandronum; and flathub for everywhere else) and an extracted copy of mm8bdm obtained through the official cutstuff website. you need this for the two files
  • megamang (optional: doomseeker to unlock multiplayer server magic and the easier-ish way to play.)

Setup Modes

this time, you have two options! a singleplayer-only, a tad bit harder way or an easy, multiplayer compatible way!

Old Fashioned Way

  • open up the mm8bdm archive and find the "megagame.wad" and "MM8BDM-v6b.pk3" files. the second one is based on version. make sure to get the latest version too. the guide won't change cause the setup will be the same.

  • put those two files in a nice folder, somewhere you can easily go to. remember that folder.
  • either run this command on the terminal or do the lutris part of the tutorial.

zandronum -iwad [[THAT FOLDER]]/megagame.wad -file [[THAT FOLDER]]/MM8BDM-v6b.pk3 (if you used flatpak, replace "zandronum" with "flatpak run com.zandronum.Zandronum")

hello user of alttext! this is a visualized version of the command! i drew the woodman myself, he looks really nice thank you for noticing

Lutris Setup

future lelkins here! this used to work last time i did this, but i have cooked up a new method in case you also get the "no PLAYPAL found!" error in your logs. that error shows up because zandronum can't find the files it needs to run the game

old method:

  • executable: /bin/zandronum
  • arguments: "-iwad [[THAT FOLDER]]/megagame.wad -file [[THAT FOLDER]]/MM8BDM-v6b.pk3"

working method:

  1. make a shell script in your game files' directory containing: zandronum -iwad megagame.wad -file MM8BDM-v6b.pk3

in this tutorial, it will be called "mm8bdm.sh".

make sure it's executable (aka use "chmod +x mm8bdm.sh")

  1. add these settings to a new lutris game:
  • executable: [[THAT FOLDER WITH THE SHELL SCRIPT]]/mm8bdm.sh
  • working directory: [[THAT FOLDER]]

this will let the shell script grab the files it needs and actually run on lutris. even gamemode will be used.

Easier-ish Way (needed for multiplayer!)

(the default wadseeker location is "/home/user/.config/doomseeker", by the way!)

  • get doomseeker, and find the wadseeker button (third button in the ribbon, shaped like paper)

  • search "megagame.wad,MM8BDM-V6b.pk3" through wadseeker and press download.

(rapid round. this is for a singleplayer campaign. i don't know how to make servers. just search somewhere else, sorry!)

  • create game; mode > play offline; IWAD "..." button > .config/doomseeker/megagame.wad; add button for additional wads > .config/doomseeker/MM8BDM-V6b.pk3

  • play and enjoy. please note that this configuration saves upon exit and can be saved manually too. if you want to play again, just press "create game" and hit play.

since doomseeker is actually a server list finder thing, you can actually play multiplayer! just press the filter button (ninth button in the ribbon, shaped like a funnel) and search megagame.wad in the WADS part. you will find multiple servers that can be played.

Sidenote

unlike the windows version, you don't have proper default controls. but thankfully, dr light (the character you talk to in the single player campaign) does tell you to check the control settings and gives you the options screen, so no biggie i guess.

[ future me here. the controls are still good to play with, but still try changing a bit for comfort! ]

have fun, mates!

back to modern times

goodie.

my writing's just as weird as now, ain't it? didn't change much? i dunno. i used to roleplay as the mspaint wood man at the time and constantly drew the guy to the point of drawing him pretty good. i tried drawing him now and he still looks good

this post is so old, my old laptop (hp 250 g2) got a mention! i had to use bumblebee to even play stuff. now with literal gaming gear, i can run stuff that i was unable to play. at the time i was so bummed to hear veloren no longer support opengl through glx, making my old laptops unable to run the game (requires egl to play). i hope y'all enjoy this shit as much as i did writing it back in 2022

sorry for not many pictures, i am a bit lazy to screenshot the game on my side. the game is fun though, please try it out!

a special thank you to AstroStelar [he/him] from here. yes, this is the post i told you about back in that one badpost about kennedy bucks. hello!

 

ay mates lelkins here

i couldn't post this thing i actually planned for a long time due to irl stuff. also new computer and i had to bring files over and it took a while for that to finish. this one is a little ambitious cause i tried getting gifs for this bloody post! i hope you all understand the hiatus. sorry everyone.

also, this one is a little ambitious cause i tried getting gifs for this bloody post! might've been better to use webms, but feel free to tell me cause i do not know how computer works properly.

i apologise for increasing this post's loading times for you all

so here's a foss game some don't know. we all clearly know xonotic, sauerbraten and openarena... and another one i'd mention on the next installment (someone on lemmygrad actually introduced me to it! i will make a post about that game when i feel like it), those are pretty good quality games. openarena is just quake, xonotic is like unreal tournament (even if it just uses quake technically) and sauerbraten is a quake-like with singleplayer campaigns, under an engine that can show some cool graphics on lower end hardware (and with some sick tunes!).

alright, onto the main subject. what if sauerbraten... but more like a deathmatch counterstrike-like game? here's assaultcube, a game that uses the cube engine. not cube 2 like sauerbraten, but cube 1. older. can work on older machines too.

wait, actually... scratch that. assaultcube is already a bit well known, it was in some foss games lists a couple of times. but there's a different assaultcube that is so lesser known that basically nobody plays it.

thought this was just about assaultcube? yea, that game is good, but this fork is very special. we are talking about

assaultcube reloaded, yeaaaaaa!

alrighty! now we're talking! assaultcube reloaded is a fork made in god knows when by some guy named victor. same engine btw. also the oldest version i can find (2.6.1 aka 2.7 beta 1) was made in 2014-08-24, while the official website dates back in 2010 (archive.org has the 2012 version of the site) so you know it's an old project. but is it good?

fuck yes. i will just talk about the gameplay and shit

differences

original assaultcube (ac) is obviously older and more played than this version, that i confirm. but the gunplay is drastically different.

-ac feels a bit more archaic shooting-wise, but still fun, while assaultcube reloaded (will call it acr from here on out) feels more polished and has the typical tactical shooter features. also acr doesn't stutter on wayland in my case with the new machine.

headshots feel more accurate on acr as the hitboxes feel larger, i can't get even one in ac sadly :(

-both have grenades that you can cook up, but acr has a timer and everything.

YOUR HEAD ASPLODE!! this can also be done in original ac too ofc!

here is me doing some shenanigans with this feature in acr. this can also be done in ac!

-acr has aim-down sights (some don't like those i think) and recoil that is similar to other tactical shooters, while ac only has a scope feature for the sniper and nothing else.

-ac has no classes, instead it has weapons you can choose, as every player gets a pistol and a knife in their arsenal, along with their weapon of choice.

weapons list in assaultcube!

notice there's a carbine. acr does not have that weapon. to be honest, it's more like a sniper without a scope, feels powerful but almost sluggish. it's not much of a loss.

-you can throw your knife in acr, and there are also special throwing knives for your custom loadouts. also almost all classes in acr have 1 grenade by default

actual stuff in acr

alright, now time for me to show my shoddily made gifs from a month ago :D :D :D

i will show each class

classes in assaultcube reloaded. notice how there are no weapons, there are loadouts instead! custom ones even! check the links list for almost the full list of weapons

as i said before, acr uses a loadout system compared to the "change your main weapon" system that ac has.

  • assault

this is your standard assault rifle man. bigger gun, smaller gun, knife. and grenade.

assault rifle frags

it's your typical assault rifle shtick, crouch, stop moving, aim down and shoot. all cool.

  • spec ops

similar to assault, the only difference is that your spec-ops has a submachine gun! be like rambo! gun down at close range!

no gif here as there's a class that shares the same weapon type that i will get to shortly.

  • sniper

sniping's a good job, mate. it's challenging work, outta doors. and i guarantee you'll not get bored playing as one!

sure, you can just snipe normally, hide near some wall and catch some unsuspecting foes like here...

typical sniping from a guy that can't snipe good. please write in the comments that i suck, i dare you... cause i do suck aaa!!

but this is acr, we have modern-day shooting! you can do some cool shit with this!

UNtypical sniping from a guy that can't snipe good. how the fuck did i do this? also i died seconds later lol

yesss, quickscoping! you can do that! even noscoping from what i tried. it's also a VERY powerful weapon like all sniper rifles should be

  • demolition

what makes me a typical demoman? well, if i was quoting tf2 every time i get the chance to do that, i wouldn't be here discussing this, now, would i?

jokes aside, this class is more up close and personal than the spec-ops, because you get to have a shotgun! you kind of have ads like every other weapon, but you instead just get a smaller closeup. not much a sights thing and more of an observe. idfk what i am trying to say.

if blowing heads off into mincemeat is not your thing, you also get to have a tremendously strong rpg as your secondary weapon that funnily enough has the beta minecraft bow sound lmfao, genuinely a great weapon, has very good accuracy, has splash damage, but it's not as viable compared to your main weapon due to the small clip size.

boom! boom! explosion sound!!

this class is more made for chokepoints, i guess!

  • medic

so spec-ops isn't your thing? you want to help people? this is one of the two classes that has a special secondary, everyone else (but demolition) has a measly pistol. sure, you have a sub machine gun, but look, you have a magic wand! what does that do, you ask? since you are a medic, it actually heals your allies in the battlefield!

here, let me demonstrate in the spawn point on a bot in my team. i forgot to mention that all the players here are bots, i cannot play multiplayer due to how empty the servers always are. i tried playing with a friend and it works really well. we enjoyed this game a lot tbh

healing a random computer-controlled player

we all know the "crap, i slipped into a gunfight and remained the victor, but i ended up being severely damaged! and there are no health pickups around!" ordeal. but as a medic, you can heal yourself if you are in a tight situation! just point your magic wand at yourself (hold right click) and administer yourself some zaps.

healing myself

you also get points doing these, too.

  • custom loadout

you might be asking "hey lelkins, what about custom loadout 1 through 10"? they're just loadouts you can customize. you can use a sniper rifle and a magic wand. you can use an rpg and an ak47. you also get perks! here's all of them (perk 1, perk 2 and "combined perks" which i don't understand much. think of them as a mega perk that will disable your main two perks, i guess!)

also, have the weapons list that i don't want to bother writing about, mix and match to your heart's content! (breezewiki link)

i forgot to mention the one powerup that replaces your weapon with a funny one. the akimbo uzi. you dual wield a very fast full-auto rifle, what's not to love?

mowing down like 2 bots with this powerup. i also died seconds later. eh.

ooh ooh! you asking me "how is this counter strike? where is bomb? terrorist moment? well, lemme tell you about th-

gamemodes

there are multiple gamemodes. i should've called this "we have call of duty and battlefield at home and it's one game with some random stuff strapped onto it" but that's not a fun title, ain't it?

your typical deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, but also "bomber" and zombie. and other stuff

bomber is like capture the flag but you are bringing your flag to the enemy's base, blowing yourself up.

zombie is a wave-based coop thing where you fight bot-controlled "zombies" that inflict a bleeding effect and your job is to kill them all and survive as long as possible, or until you get bored lol

"secure the flag". i never played cod but apparently it's like domination? you stay near the flag to gain points and protect it. acts almost like tf2's capture the point gamemode but there are so many flags to slowly capture, it's kinda chaotic

"keep the flag" is "get a flag from the enemy team and survive, this is team-deathmatch btw"

"hunt the flag" is "shoot the player that has a flag and keep the flag to yourself for points, difference is that there's one flag and it's deathmatch"

and "overload". wow. overload is kinda weird to explain. so flags can be damaged. you go to the enemy team, fight the flag, fight the enemies and hopefully destroy their flag to score

just like sauerbraten, you can edit maps! yes, you can make your own stuff here. i didn't try that tbh, i just wanna go guns blazing

conclusion? nah, rambling

now that i am done talking about the game and its range of classes and stuff, you may ask "why is this not the more played one?"

to be honest, i ask myself the same thing. why is this abandoned?

the original assaultcube community kind of hates this fork as its main creator, victor, has his ips banned? the website has a "promotion client" that not only advertises this fork every 16 seconds, but has like two actual cheats (explosive ammo and a radar, both are off by default)

i am not going to talk about the slander in the forums btw. it's a mess and i don't understand it instead, have a comment used to slander this specific fork from a post about the 2012 aurora, colorado movie theater shooting in the assaultcube forums

cw: mention of the shooting, the entire post is thathttps://forum.cubers.net/post-103789.html#pid103789

like seriously what the fuck

also this fork uses (or used to use? i don't know much) "copyrighted assets" from original ac, but the stuff is licensed under the cube license which is pretty permissive but technically not fully libre.

as i mentioned in the first UNNAMED FOSS GAME THING post, i consider games that have copyrighted material a la srb2 or foss games that require paid assets a la doom, quake and openmw. i am not the kind of person who would sell games in a pack or something. i am just here to talk about games that i like

so am i actually promoting something bad? the game is pretty good in terms of gameplay, but these actions kinda suck and i do not know if victor changed his ways or anything. promote the game, not the person i guess????

this is all a mess, and these are just past posts from the forums. nowadays if you mention acr, nothing seems to happen. it used to be a sign to ridicule the person, similar to a "kick me" flyer taped to someone's back. just ignore this shit and move on, cause the game's pretty fun

actual conclusion

game's good. the other game's good. try both ac and acr out, they're both good in their own way. shame that acr had some incidents to be fair.

acr's multiplayer is pretty much a barren wasteland, but a couple of friends can fill it up for a good computer-based time. ac is still active multiplayer-wise, even if it was last updated in 2022. i played a couple of multiplayer matches and it was pretty fun!

both are on flathub if you all use flatpaks, both are on the aur if you all use arch. both of them are easily playable. windows users may have trouble due to false positives but these games are foss and can be compiled so do not worry about that

i am sorry i made this post so fucking long and so rambly, i just wanted to post gifs of me shooting in a cool way :((((

anyhow, thank you all for reading this shit i wrote in 1 hour. see you all some day with a different game.

foss sweep.
