'''Bosses''' are a category of placeable [[Assets|objects]] in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]''. They are one out of three ways the player can beat the stage (the others being picking up an [[Energy Element]] and shooting a [[Party Ball]]). Creators can place one of these Robot Masters in a room for players to fight.
[[File:LevelBuilder.png|thumb|A level being edited in the level builder.]]
The Level Builder is one of the main features of ''[[Mega Man Maker]]''. Using the Level Builder, a user can create their own levels, save them as .MMLV level files, and share them with others. Players are also able to collaborate together over the internet in real time to build levels together using the [[Build Online]] feature of the Level Builder. Levels can be shared either by sending .MMLV files to others or by using the [[Online]] features to upload a level to Mega Man Maker's online server (after a play test to verify it is possible to complete) and shared with others.


Prior to version [[1.5.0]], a player could only have one boss per stage, but since 1.5.0, players can have multiple bosses with the maximum of 10 active at once and a total of 200 in a level. Bosses are loaded in first from top to bottom, then left to right.
== Assets ==
* The assets included in the Level Builder as of [[1.7.5]] include the following:
* 4 Playable [[Characters]]
* 40 [[Bosses]]
* 229 [[Enemies]]
* 161 [[Level Objects]]
* 14 [[Pickups]]
* 714 [[Backgrounds]]
* 684 [[Tilesets]]
* 210 [[Ladders]]
* 233 [[Spikes]]
* 37 [[Water|Waters]]
* 9 Special Objects
* 100 [[Weapons]] (including each character's Buster)
* 16 Utility [[Weapons]] (including each character's exclusive utility weapons)
* 183 stage [[Music]] tracks (official games, 8-bit recreations, and original remixes)
* 1000 [[Screens]] of building space (50 horizontal screens by 20 vertical screens)


In version [[1.8.0]], Wily Fortress bosses will be introduced. Bigger Wily bosses, like the [[Yellow Devil]] or the Capsules or Machines, can only be placed once whilst other bosses like Dark Man III and Dark Man IV can be placed as many times as the normal bosses can.
== Editor Toolbars ==
The Level Builder contains three different toolbars, each with different sets of tools and features.
=== Top Toolbar ===
[[File:Whole Top Toolbar Transparent.png|left]]


Some of the bosses have noticeable changes in their [[Bosses/AI Changes|behaviors]] when compared to their games of origin.


== List of Bosses ==
As of version [[1.8.0]], there are 47 Robot Master bosses and 9 Wily Fortress bosses from ''Mega Man'' to ''Mega Man 11'' and 5 other [[Assets|assets]] related to bosses and ending a level in the Boss category for a total of 56 assets. The first six NES games have 4–5 bosses each while ''Mega Man 7'' through ''Mega Man 11'' have 2–3 bosses each. The developers often select from four bosses for an update due to the complex programming they need.


=== ''Mega Man / Mega Man Powered Up'' ===
This toolbar is focused on assets that can be placed within a created level.

== Multiple Bosses ==
== .MMLV File Format ==
Prior to [[1.5.0]], a level could only have one boss at the time. At the time, some players tampered with the files to get multiple bosses; however, the boss music would not play. If one intended to put another boss in the level editor, the previous boss would disappear and its settings would be passed on the newly created boss.
[[File:TextEditMMLV.png|thumb|right|Glitchy side-effects of improperly text editing a .MMLV file such as having a wide [[playable characters|playable character]].]]
'''.MMLV''' is the file format used to store data about a ''Mega Man Maker'' level.


Since version 1.5.0, bosses can be programmed to leave items after defeat though this will cause defeating them to no longer finish the stage. To activate this functionality on a specific boss, the designer must click on the skull icon at the bottom left of the boss menu and select an item to drop if the boss is defeated. The three groups of possibilities are: a new pickup, a change in the weapon roster and a change on the [[Characters|player character]]. However, these possibilities are not mutually exclusive even if the options in the category are.
These files can be edited with certain text editing programs, such as Notepad and some others. Editing the text in these files can change various aspects of the level, including removing limitations on what text characters can and cannot be used in a level's name, how long level names can be, and even how various assets in the level function.


If a pickup is selected, different things will happen depending on the item. Most pickups will be left where the boss was defeated, while [[Key|Keys]] will travel to the player's position before being collected. A change on the weapons, be it an unlock or removal, or a player character change is triggered instantly upon a boss' defeat. Following the addition of Key colors in [[1.7.0]], a button can be used to change the color of the Key the boss will spawn upon defeat.
Playing a text edited level files may in some instances cause crashing, glitches, or other oddities to occur that otherwise would not. This could be caused by the player text editing certain values assigned to assets in ways they are not normally intended to be used.


In addition to those options, the boss can also be set to change the music upon defeat.
To access .MMLV files saved in-game, they are located in '''%localappdata%/MegaMaker/Levels''' on a computer with a Windows operating system. The files may be in another location for computers running Windows through software such as Wine on other operating systems.
 
On a [[Screens|screen]], the maximum number of bosses is 10. An eleventh boss added will not be recognized by the program. In the whole stage, the limit for multiple bosses is 200.

== Trivia ==
* Every major update since 1.0.0 with the exceptions of 1.1.0, 1.7.0 and 1.8.0 has added two bosses from two games each for a total of four bosses.
* [[Luigi]] has stated that menus have a bit of empty space around them so users can click out of them.
** 1.1.0, which had the least number of bosses added in a major update with 2, added Time Man and Ice Man, both from ''Mega Man''.
* When a level has been named and saved at least once, the Level Builder will periodically attempt to autosave the level in case something goes wrong, such as crashes, softlocks, or the game being suddenly closing. This may cause the game to lag while editing large levels.
** 1.7.0, added 6 bosses, namely Fire Man, Quick Man, Yamato Man, Freeze Man, Splash Woman, and Strike Man. Additionally, none of the bosses added in 1.7.0 are from the same game of origin due to the goal of the update being to add a variety content from games already represented in ''Mega Man Maker'' at the time i.e. ''Mega Man'' through ''Mega Man 11''.

** 1.8.0, which had the most number of bosses added in a major update at 15, added Pirate Man, Cold Man, Burner Man, Pluto, Punk, Enker, the Yellow Devil, Boobeam Trap, the Kamegoro Maker, the Cossack Catcher, Wily Machines 4 and 6, Dark Men 3 and 4 and Big Pets. Additionally, each game had 1 boss added, with the exception of ''Mega Man 4'' and ''Mega Man 5'', which respectively added 2 and 3 bosses.

* During the early development of ''Mega Man Maker'', Guts Man was planned to be in the game alongside [[Cut Man]] but was replaced by [[Bomb Man]].

** Gemini Man was also cut due to technical issues as his AI did not work well with customizable terrain. However, a Level Builder icon exists for him exist in the game's files and he can be placed in levels through special setups though no AI is programmed into him.
BuilderCombinationExample.png|An example of a screen using multiple tilesets together in the editor
* Prior to version [[1.3.3]], [[Skull Man]]'s description was simply ''Kills'', a reference to the ''Mega Man'' fangame ''Skull Man Kills''. The description was updated with information about his attack patterns in version 1.3.3 to be more consistent with the rest of the Robot Master descriptions while still keeping in the reference.

* According to [[Luigi]], the [[Music changer|music changer]] was planned to be added alongside the boss overhaul in 1.5.0 as the two features were similar thematically but was put aside due to the scope of the update.
* ''Mega Man 11'''s Robot Masters, Blast Man and Bounce Man, retain their Double Gear abilities from the original game.
* If a boss is placed between a screen transition, screens with a hard transition will not lock thus allowing the player to pass through them like normal. This allows the player to activate more than 10 bosses by traveling to a different screen to activate another boss. However, a screen with a hard transition will lock if a boss that is not placed between a screen transition is activated.
* As of version 1.7.5, [[Metal Man]] and [[Bounce Man]] are the only bosses who have a special behavior when hit with their primary weakness: Bounce Man will split apart, making his parts bounce around the room, and Metal Man will be killed instantly. Meanwhile, if an ice weapon is set as the primary weakness for [[Freeze Man]], he will not freeze the player in place and taunt them, Quickman also has a special interaction on Immunity to weapons where he will pause in place and block the shot.
** Likewise, [[Cut Man]] is the only boss as of version 1.7.5 to experience knockback when hit.

Revision as of 22:56, 29 November 2022

A level being edited in the level builder.

The Level Builder is one of the main features of Mega Man Maker. Using the Level Builder, a user can create their own levels, save them as .MMLV level files, and share them with others. Players are also able to collaborate together over the internet in real time to build levels together using the Build Online feature of the Level Builder. Levels can be shared either by sending .MMLV files to others or by using the Online features to upload a level to Mega Man Maker's online server (after a play test to verify it is possible to complete) and shared with others.

.MMLV File Format

Glitchy side-effects of improperly text editing a .MMLV file such as having a wide playable character.

.MMLV is the file format used to store data about a Mega Man Maker level.

These files can be edited with certain text editing programs, such as Notepad and some others. Editing the text in these files can change various aspects of the level, including removing limitations on what text characters can and cannot be used in a level's name, how long level names can be, and even how various assets in the level function.

Playing a text edited level files may in some instances cause crashing, glitches, or other oddities to occur that otherwise would not. This could be caused by the player text editing certain values assigned to assets in ways they are not normally intended to be used.

To access .MMLV files saved in-game, they are located in %localappdata%/MegaMaker/Levels on a computer with a Windows operating system. The files may be in another location for computers running Windows through software such as Wine on other operating systems.

Trivia

  • Luigi has stated that menus have a bit of empty space around them so users can click out of them.
  • When a level has been named and saved at least once, the Level Builder will periodically attempt to autosave the level in case something goes wrong, such as crashes, softlocks, or the game being suddenly closing. This may cause the game to lag while editing large levels.
