Just wanted to show this: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=PL4ezzbcSMo
Video shows the main reason why my bugtesting takes so long time.. I'm testing every single chance to skip maps.

Is that level finished? The outside of the building could use a bit of trimming to make it not look like a giant box with a line of square holes. Bring down the ceiling a bit to make it look like it has a bit of overhanging roof, and maybe add some trim to the corners.

Couldn't you just make the walls one side blocking?

This area is based on true place/building, I don't want to do any fictional modifications to it... I need to figure out some clean way to fix this bug.

No, not at all. Using only 5000/16384 walls now, aiming to limit.

And, my episode doesn't include jetpack, it ruins everything.

The fun thing in real life is that someone can enter an window from outside.

Why don't you get over it? Workarounds are fun in gaming.

Start doing some testing with scale stairs and you'll see Duke can jump up a ten set, at least, and that's without roids. Pretty big bug if you ask me.

I liked the music though

[Mark]

When I first read "roids" I instantly thought of hemoroids. With those he would be taking those stairs one at a time.

[pmw]

I know how Duke jumps and moves. That jump just skips like ~80% of map. I'll figure out something for that, I just want to make map as perfect I can. That's why this project is probably still under construction in 2099....................................

[rasmus thorup]

I don't think it makes the map worse. If you really want to remove it, then you should make it one side blocking wall. Unless a shortcut like this kills you, or you manage to see a part of the map that wasn't meant to, i honestly don't think it's a flaw.

The "bug" in E1M1 in the original game didn't kill it, and that made it possible to beat the map in about 12 seconds.

Shamelessly drawing attention to me and Drek's recently released "episode" for WGRealms 2: http://forums.duke4.net/topic/6109-release-knee-deep/

I managed to make a working "sound repercussion" device like Doom. Basically it check an entire area with sectors that have "openings" to each other.

Here is an example of set of sectors it interpretates as belonging to the same area:



Furthermore it run the code constantly, meaning that the sound would echo if a door opens among other effects.

That's one of the things I've tried to do and failed all that time I worked on my old TC. I'm really curious as to how you did it, personally.

[Fox]

Well, it's all about figuring out the logic behind it. But I am still performing some tests, so I will leave the explanations for later.

Here is a zoo-style map which I overwritten sector tags with the value for the set of sectors which the sound would echo.



As you can see I am really close to making it fully function. But if you look closely to the second shot, the tag is incorrectly assigned for the door right to the nukebutton area (which is closed), and I am trying to fix that random bug.

[Scott_AW]

Well I ended up giving up working on Black Shadow, my total conversion project due to impending limitations as the game was progressing, and other stuff, but I've released all the resources here -> LINK

However I've started a new TC project with EDuke32 called 'Orbital Contract Defense', an adventure sci-fi with some RPG elements and using CON code from the previous project. It differs in that it'll be more 8-bitish and simple graphics, and NPCs will be 4 directional sprites in Console RPG flavor. Objects and vehicles will be voxelized however, levels interlinked as well as multiple versions of them as events progress.





Heres a VIDEO

And its WEBSITE

I have to say, just like your pervious project, this looks pretty damn good. I like the style, it looks interesting and original. Please don't give up on this project.
Also, I think you can have a lot of success as an indie game developer. Games with old school graphics are very popular today, and I think this game/TC has a lot of potential.

(Btw, I'd recommend you to release the last version of Black Shadow on Indie DB site)

[Fox]

Hey, that's very cool. Not really a fan of these voxel weapons, but I really enjoy pixel art.

[Jblade]

That looks brilliant, I love it!

[ReaperMan]

Awesome! I love voxels. BTW how did you get the hud weapons to be voxels?

I positioned them in Slab6 and took a screenshot.

[Fox]

Feels like an ugly hack. I guess the only way around is to have a sprite in front of the player?

I also somewhat think that the future of games is going back to the basis. Imagine GTA-like sized maps in an old fashioned style.

[Mike Norvak]

Sorry for asking this here, but I remember a key combo (or script) to export all the used tiles in a map to another map, any clue?

[Micky C]

From the wiki:

Quote

T select from pre-defined tile group which can be edited in tiles.cfg or added from within the tile selector. For this, press SPACE on the tiles to be grouped (CTRL-SPACE to select a range from starting from the last selection with SPACE). When you're ready, press Ctrl-G and you'll be queried for a group hotkey and name. The new tile group should now be saved persistently in tiles.cfg.

[Daedolon]

I was looking at the video earlier and I had been wondering why you hadn't posted it here yet.

I have done a looo~t of Doom for now, all weapons and enemies coded, everything exact the same, frame per frame, tic per tic, except for some minor bugs fixed.

Here are the different HUDs and screens:

[Scott_AW]

Wow, looks just like it

[drrobot]

Working on a couple of Duke Nukem baddies. Heres the assault trooper so far:


It differs alot from the original but Im gonna twist it up a bit for the fun of it. Its just a screencap from zbrush so some parts look a little funky

Scott, your project reminds me of the game Normality. Colorful, lively, and retro!

[Tea Monster]

Nice to see some new stuff coming along! Nice work with the cloth folds as well.
