I'm now able to control which formations get locked behind a Navi Customizer. In vanilla, these are used for the player to get Fire Encounters on the Hospital Comps, and the infamous IceBall M chip for Mamoru. This is changing in my mod.
One of the 4 NC Programs (Jungle), is getting renamed. So far the name candidates for this new program are:
Wrath- Rank#1
UndrKing
What this new program will do is lock special battle formations, each one being one hell of a challenge. Anything can be behind them, from a single Navi, to multiple Navis, to combination of Navis, Bosses... Absolutely anything. Needless to say, I'll try and make the description of the program mark it very clear that it is for optional challenges. Keep in mind that these formations are absolutely invisible to the player until he equips the NC Program, making it absolutely optional. There are no prices on doing this, more than your ego boost.
But! I want to brainstorm with you guys! First of all. When/where should this program be given? After defeating Serenade, perhaps? (One of the 2 UnderNet7 BMDs) Or perhaps before, say in the UnderSquare? Or perhaps even farther ahead, after defeating BassGS? (In the UnderNet7 BMD, unlcoked after defeating him). I need your opinions on this!!
Also, another question for you. Where should these encounters be, and how many of them per area? I could do several things here:
I could add 1 of these challenge formations per single area in the game, including small comps.- I could add 1 formation per Network area, that is, everything except for small comps. That'd be ACDC, SciLab, Yoka, Beach, UnderNet, Principal's, Zoo, HospComp, WWW, Secret Area).
I could add 1 formation per Internet area (ACDC, SciLab, Yoka, Beach, UnderNet, Secret area).I could add 2 formations per Internet area (this is because 1 formation is too little, only being 19 battles. 38 is a lot more reasonable number).
So please, let me know what you guys think!! This part of the mod is one of the most important ones, it is my gift to the veterans who want the ultimate challenge!
