What an understatement!

Trying out some of the NPC's of Dukeplus. Even though they don't interact they are still way better than having an empty chair.

Greyduke HRP ... Duke Noir ... feels interesting.

Did you just grayscale the highpals or did you go through all the assets? I hope the former!

Everything...well, a few PNGs did not convert automatically it seems. Keeping the highpals had some interesting effect, too.

This is what i'm working on. This is what the "quick throw" grenade is for. Not gonna say anything else at this time.

[Hendricks266]

Nice, Snake Logan always needed a comeback.

Eddy, where is the description?
It looks like on Duke Nukem Advance

[Player Lin]

Wow, nice job. This DNA port with eduke32 looks like kick ass!

[zykov eddy]

I'm planning to make an episode in DNA style. The original version inspired me a lot. It has a unique style of mapping, which is great for a handheld game.

[Micky C]

I've started making a level using Eddy's Quake TC, using two of my favourite things: polymer lighting and TROR. I might aim for good layout, and good polymer lighting over high detail, So architecture will be simple but hopefully solid. This isn't a real project though, I plan to release something eventually, but I'm not taking this seriously and I have other projects which also require my attention. However by comparison I find this project relaxing as I much prefer dealing with walls and sectors than messing about with sprites and complicated effects.

This is a shade over one hours' work (It's not everything, I'm not that big a spoiler).

You mean it took 16 years to Duke to look like Quake?

Now try to make a Duke map in Quake, with viewscreens, hookers and huge streets. It will take them 16 years more

Glad you liked my mod and started the level. Looks like the original Quake, very easy to confuse. Great work!

Oh hey, people actually watch my video

[gibfrag]

Working on making full Duke rotations.

[Mark]

I'm going crazy with TROR levels, 3 levels in the pictured area, lots of models and Polymer lights. With my middle of the road computer system I'm still getting a minimum of 35 FPS. More in most areas with lesser details. Hopefully in another week or so I will put out the call for a couple of other people to try this map and get their FPS results so I know how heavy I can expect to go with these and other Dukeplus effects I plan to add in.

I think it looks fantastic! Is that the doom remake level that you sometimes talk about?

[Mark]

yes it is

I think that last one looks kinda silly, like Duke is leaning backwards for some reason. Nice idea otherwise.

I think 35fps minimum on a mid tier computer is pretty good. ATI or NVidia?

[Mark]

Nvidia 9800+ at 1680 x 1050, trilinear filtering, anisotropic filtering 16X, Vsync on.

[Diaz]

I asked because 35 fps on an ATI card would be even more awesomeness

I just switched back to my ATI 5850 to play some newer games and man, does EDuke run sooooooooo awful...

Yeah, I'm working on the angle of that one. Somebody at ZDoom forums pointed that out also.

Thanks.

Working on a new A* pathfinder. The new system automatically builds a node graph directly from the map and saves it to the disk. Node graphs are only built if there isn't one already on the disk, which significantly reduces load time. This is all the easy part. Now to do the actual pathfinding.

[Fox]

Seems fun

[Reaper_Man]

Here it is, node based A*. It's not refined yet, it's only looking at X/Y locations at the moment so it ignores height. That's the next step. It's a little slow, I want to see if I can speed up the searching so there isn't a noticeable pause as it builds the path.

Spoiler

It's not much to look at, but not bad for 6 days work. Red health is nodes it considered (the "closed list"), they start at where the AI was when it was going to build it's path. Blue is the nodes it determined to be the best path (the "open list"), they end where I was standing when I took the screenshot. I'll see if I can come up with some more impressive screens once I get it refined.

[Jblade]

Very cool! already it's looking better than my attempt...interesting to see where you take it in the next couple of weeks.

[Reaper_Man]

Gonna take a break, either cansee is way more expensive than I realized or I made it unhappy somewhere else.

Is there an easy way to get the center X/Y of sectors and walls? I had an idea for a different type of node graph using walls and sectors to make a navigation mesh instead of a square grid. In theory it would be a lot faster and produce nicer looking paths.

EDIT
Turns out it was my fault, I was applying a really high heuristic. Good news is that it's taking 3D space into account now so it knows to avoid tall red sector walls. Going to see about refining the paths now.
