That is soo damn cool.

[Micky C]

WHY DID I HAVE TO START MAKING MY MAP BEFORE THIS FEATURE? Its awesome.

[OpenMaw]

Wow, that's freaking awesome!

Meh... Can someone please tell me why exactly enhance.con is broken? The unedited one that comes with eduke32 I mean. It doesn't load.

[Micky C]

I don't think enhance.con does anything, just delete it unless you have a special reason to use it.

Actually, I intended to adjust a few of the variables for the weapons. Seems to have been broken.

[Hendricks266]

enhance.con.sample sucks, and I intend on deleting it. Don't use it.

Thanks. That worked much better now.

I remember your Freerunner maps, and I'm sure you could make some amazing puzzles with the gravity switchers. It seems to fit better in the magical world of WGR2 than in regular Duke 3D, though.

How do you did that?

Exactly the same way. He replaced did with do and now it's upside down

There's a lot of things about the player that have to be manipulated to override the normal behavior. The main ones are poszv and rotscrnang, but there's much more than that. One tricky thing is to reverse most of the player's controls while making it feel the same.

[TerminX]

Don't forget to implement the weapon bobbing in upside down mode.

I'm not sure who downvoted you. But the person doesn't have humor. I guess the person got upside down >.>

Now I am attempting to make an Alien Weapon... My 1st real artistic model. I will share it when I finish.

Ok, so it's all WIP. But here is a sneak peak.

Just squint real hard, and say "Come get some!" I can't wait to fire this bitch.

[Jimmy]

Ah, I know exactly what that is.

Sonic Resonator?

Heh definitely If I would do something like that, it would be a small patch of maps like Portal. Not full blown full lenght maps like I made for FreeRunner. And it would be easier to maintain motivated. Have you tried mixing it with the mantling code? do you think it would conflict or work fine?

LOL I knew somebody would reconize it. Has it been done?? Does anyone want to help me get this thing off the ground?? PM me. A lot of work still, only 2 days in.

It would take some work to make mantling work upside down, but more importantly it would conflict like crazy with the existing maps, plus I don't believe it would feel right in WGR2.

However, we do have ladders (which do work upside down) and lots of other cool stuff.

I have an idea for a map which I would call "Chaos Cathedral", and it would be about 50% puzzles and 50% action, almost all indoors. It would be designed so that more than half of the areas had stuff to do on both the floor and the ceiling, so switching back and forth to get through the map would be a major theme. But of course, if you want to do some mapping you can do whatever you want, I have faith in your abilities. The only thing I would ask is that I and perhaps other mappers have permission to add gameplay or make modifications to your work as needed, after you are done with it. I don't want to be left with unfinished stuff that I'm not allowed to finish and release.

What exactly do you have in mind for the projectiles?

Either way, I would like if it was relatively like the Shrinker, silver with some tech look. Also I think the crystal would look good as blue.

It's a sonic weapon,so imo the projectiles should be fast moving, vibrating waves that have a small impact radius. If I were coding it, enemies that got hit would vibrate for a moment (easy to do with small random changes to their tsprite coordinates every frame) with stun on weaker enemies. It would be more of a stream type weapon, like a flamethrower.

[Fox]

I tought of something similar. I liked your idea of sprites vibrating, pretty creative.

[Micky C]

Well I've pretty much run out of walls for my TROR polymer WGRealms 2 map, so it's down to the polishing and tweaking stage. I might have already said this but the basic premise is that Duke has been crowned King of a realm for his valor, and one day he wakes up to find his castle under siege by a demonic menace...

My early thoughts on the projectiles are to do a variations on the octabrains. And as for coloring right now I have a green metal body in mind, everything else is undecided. I am still tweaking a full size UV unwrap. (1024x1024) I think I should find a volunteer for the skin. LOL

My longterm plan was to fit this gun into Duke Plus with a cool powerful Alt-fire.
I love your idea DT, it's way beyond my (current ) capabilities though.
I am still new at all of this everyone, so feel free to offer any advice.

I tried making a HUD sprite for it once.

Actually, you can see a pick up sprite for it in LameDuke. It's black with a light orange crystal.

Thanks for that info. I didn't know it made it into LameDuke. Makes my color choice easier

[Jimmy]

That's the one. I think it looks really cool like that.
