Alusq Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) ragefest knockoff children, please I'm not gonna say much because I have little that's actually valuable/worth saying, but the thing that I always thought was appropriate about Ragefest is that if you download a rom hack and jump into it without reading any forum posts or anything, you can reasonably assume that it will be crazy difficult (or at least more difficult than the vanilla game) because devoted fans/experts are the only ones who actually go to the trouble of making a rom hack. Just look at Kaizou Mario or Rockman no Constancy Difficult, which are the most popular Mario and Mega Man mods that I can think of (Rockman 4MI has likely eclipsed RnC, actually, but I digress). In this way, Ragefest kind of takes the medium of rom modding to its logical extreme (the difficulty) while being extremely tongue-in-cheek about it (the humor). That being said, RF has always been more about pandering to Marc and making him rage than making something that is creatively difficult, which is a shame because the more puzzle-y RF entries are my favorites (example: EnderSlicer's Escape is all about dicking around with an idiosyncrasy of the game (the torch glitch), and is entertaining for it imo). I have no clue if MAFC will be better (the first entry played panders to Ghast and me pretty openly), but I guess time will tell.

Gryz Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 AI2 0x00 will not move the enemy if all player/NPC units are standing on inaccessible terrain or if the enemy is isolated from player/NPC units by terrain such as walls. The AI is searching for any valid path that will allow them to move ONTO player/NPC tiles. Dragons can't move onto peaks, so the AI thinks it is impossible to reach Marc even though moving forward would eventually put him in Flametongue range. Enemies with AI2 0x1C will move as close as possible when there is no "valid" path. If the dragons had this AI, they would have continued to chase Marc when he was sitting on a peak.

Baldrick Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Oh yeah. That AI quirk I found by accident. I originally intended to have just dragons, and make it a matter of flying around and luring them without getting cornered. When I found they didn't move when Farina was on a mountain, I decided it'd be too easy to trivialise the chapter unless I put some flying enemies in to fuck up your day. It's cool to have a technical explanation of why the AI acts like it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryz Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Also, I would like to mention that AI2 0x1C isn't always better. If AI2 = 0x00The mercenary moves towards the units in the southwest. The pegasus knight isn't considered a valid target to move towards. If AI2 = 0x1CThe mercenary moves towards the peaks since the pegasus knight is the closest unit. The pegasus knight can use the mercenary as javelin target practice. Edit: Here's an example where the pegasus knight isn't completely protected by peaks. If AI2 = 0x00, the mercenary still moves towards the southwest units despite the pegasus knight being much closer. Mercenaries can't move onto peaks so the pegasus knight is considered off-limits despite the plains tile below.

RandomSwordmaster Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 So apparently, this was made after my RFIV hack. All credit goes to TheImperialKnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augestein Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 That EEW portrait is hilarious. Also, Marc's reaction to like everything in that submission was really funny. "Sain in the Membrane." "But there's Sane!..." I kind of really like how wacky that entry was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyJoe1990 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Alright everyone. I'm saving F*EXE and Angel Of Darkness for last, which leaves us only two other choices. You decide which one should be next since I'm lazy! I don't know when I'll be able to get to the last remaining submissions because work is being a huge bitch right now. To give you an idea, I worked seven days in a row and two of them were 12-hour shifts. I don't have a lot of reason to think things will get better either... I have one day off tomorrow.

MarkyJoe1990 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Welp. Looked at the strawpoll. Looks like Array Of Randomness by BladeHero22 won. Dunno when I'll get to it, but hopefully I'm getting a few days off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augestein Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Wow that sucks having that many days in a row. 12 hour shifts like that at least mean overtime pay though, so at least there's THAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyJoe1990 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Recorded another Ragefest submission. The author wanted to jump in and uh... yeah, this was a pretty uninteresting submission, honestly. I don't know how I'll edit all the footage, but there's going to be tons of cutting.

MarkyJoe1990 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Oh my god, RIGHT? That chapter is absurdly hard compared to the previous ones! I already finished recording the whole submission. It's... really really easy to break. Edited March 2, 2016 by MarkyJoe1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

47948201 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Oh shoot 17 is next for me, I hear 19 and 20 are progressively worse but uhhhhh I mean yay even if it's not a great submission I'm looking forward to it. I've seen some of Bladehero's earlier works so it'll be interesting to see what's stylistically different or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverHairedFreak25 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 also fuck chapter 17 in conquest. that chapter can eat a dick Conquest IN GENERAL is absurdly hard. It's a nice change of pace from Awakening, I'm not gonna lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy fuck, this chapter and Conquest endgame can go to hell. 21 is hard, but breakable, and the rest are difficult but fair.

Could you please refrain from talking about Ftaes here, would like to to remain as unspoiled as possible, thank you. Eh, no story spoilers or anything. All we know is that Conquest is very hard, especially at the end, though that's a given, since Conquest is supposed to be the harder one.

MrNight48 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) What was the problem Xander paired with Charlotte can solo almost the entire map on chapter 17 for starters I don't use charlotte, no room for her. 2, I can't be having xander who is already promoted take all the exp. plus I tried that in my first failed file and he died at the fucking boss. I have to restart the entire game because of his loss and my unwillingness to restart. 3, nearly all my units I want to promote are lv19. this is the perfect time to get them all to lv20 and promote for my super team for 18 and on. which I hear are nasty. I need them prepared dammit! this is all on hard/classic btw also looking forward to the video Edited March 2, 2016 by MrNight48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomSwordmaster Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) tfw you're so early that it's still 360p. In terms of the actual hack, it felt kind of rushed, and definitely could've used more testing, as evidenced by what happened. Ultimately, the hack was fine, but didn't really have much going for it. Just my two cents. Edited March 3, 2016 by RandomSwordmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
