Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch V6C Newsletter
Hey all you Mega Fans! We're back again with another V6C Newsletter!
Before we get into the subject of today's newsletter, I just wanted to thank you all for your input on the community poll. The poll is closed now but it will be some time before we announce our plan going forward. When we do, it will be back in that topic and will not follow the newsletter schedule. We just ask for your patience as even with the poll closed, it certainly won't be something we'll be ready to talk about immediately.
But enough of that. Let's actually show something new and exciting! I only have one subject to show you all today, but it'll be unique as far as these newsletters are concerned. So please take a look at this.
That's right! Chest, Plum, and Ripot are being added as brand new skins in V6C!
For those who don't know, this trio of news reporting robots originate from Mega Man Battle & Chase, more specifically Rockman Battle & Chase as they were more or less completely cut outside of the Japanese release of the game. But in our quest to try to encompass bits and pieces from the entire Classic Mega Man series, we felt that these three would make great additions to the skin roster.
Unlike map edits and weapon reworks, we very rarely get a chance to do anything new and exciting with skins outside of fixing up some older ones or adding a new roster when a new game is represented. So being able to add these three is certainly a very welcome addition to the many, many things being added in V6C!
I hope you all enjoy seeing this trio in action when V6C releases!
That's all for today's newsletter! While I have nothing I wanted to pair with these skins, we're not out of content to show you guys yet! So we'll see you next time with some more exciting updates!

[GAME MODES] Score Frenzy - Gamemode Compilation
Binary said:
Added a UDBScript and PK3 system to the main post to help with adding Escort / Multi-Point Capture support to any maps you want to add support to.
To use it:
- Add the PK3 to your preferences (same window where you add the v6b resources)
- Click on "scripts" on the side tab, then open the "Examples" folder in explorer by right-clicking, and put the .js file into it.
- Place the things in the "Score Frenzy" tab in the map.
-- The Escort Path actors are logged in the order they were placed. Should start at the Wily Team flag position and end at the Light Team flag position.
- Run the script and it should output paths for both.
Make sure to remove the actors from the map once you're done setting them up (or don't save if you have no other progress on the map) since they aren't going to be included in the mod itself, and will conflict when the file isn't loaded.

Added a WIP weapon to more easily setup Escort paths. Load with any maps you want to add support to; it will not work with Score Frenzy. Best used with a local server.
Use mainfire to place a point, altfire to place a checkpoint and reload to reset all points. Type "EscortLog" in the console to get a script output from the server client when done, or "EscortVisualize" to reset the preview.
will likely add a video guide for this + tweak some things later, it should be usable enough for now

Quick update, CS S3 signups are being reopened, as captains attempt to find a time to begin the draft. We thank you all for your patience.
EDIT: I SHOULD SPECIFY WE'RE ONLY LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL PLAYERS AT THIS POINT, WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING FURTHER CAPTAIN SIGNUPS

Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch V6C FEEDBACK WANTED
I'll quickly mention for clarity sake that a clientside toggle isn't viable. It would add an insurmountable amount of overhead for modders and ourselves, so this decision is one style or the other.
