Nah, Will release in 1 shot.

Is a mod with 1 ep but has like 16 levels.

14 + 2 secret.
Before was gonna be 12 + 2 secrets but decided to make an extra level. plus a sub-level. like Oblivion has 2 sub-levels, "maps too small to be levels"
After the last we head toward the ship with all the enemies responsible for invading / raiding the bionic planet Trequonia.

Levels are longer to make than Oblivion's lev cus.

1, they are larger, more detailed, many has hardcore conhack and neat effects etc.

OK, sounds like neat, and...this time, is it will not as hard to beat as Oblivion TC, right? I like your mods have big, mega-detailed, cool effects and designs of maps but not want get my ass kicked again.

[Micky C]

Yeah, it would be nice to actually be able to navigate all the levels and at least have a general idea of where to go.

[MusicallyInspired]

A little progress on the ship and started on the mechanical gate area.

Zero Hour style



I could add this as a hidden function, too bad the artwork for a single SMG doesn't exist

[Lunick]

Does that mean the Duke 64 TC is almost almost almost finished?

[Fox]

This one is for the CON coders

Spoiler

The deal with the image above is that I am using orientation 1024, and adjusted the position of the sprite to the edge of the screen manually. This way I can take advantage of setaspect to make sprites with a different horizontal or vertical zoom, so I can stretch a sprite.

I tried to make it the simpliest as possible, so I can use a code as simply as this:

    setvar x -104
    setvar y 84
    setvar z 65536
    setvar z2 65536
    setvar ang 0
    setvar orientation 0
    setvarvar shade gs
    getsector[THISACTOR].floorpal pal
    setvar POSX 0
    setvar tilenum KNEE
    state rotatesprite

Note how I have two different variables for the zoom.

[Zaxtor]

Made a neat effect.
When I was going to the Pharmacy to get these delicious giant chocolate bars (Lindor my fav).
An idea came up to my head. I was lil skeptical and thought wouldn't work.

Actually it worked.

Is 2 doors.
When you open door1, door2 closes.
When you close door1, door2 opens.
It is possible to pass right because the switch is too far?

The idea is we can jam the door.
Neat trick involved sector trick and conhack.
Rest will be seen when playing the mod.

An air lock?
I thought this was always possible...

[Fox]

Isn't that used in Dark Side level?

I remember that in the Last Reaction / Chimera TC there was a very good decompression chamber effect.

[Zaxtor]

Not an air lock.

Oblivion had an airlock tho that if we don't close the exterior door we die as soon we open the door to the airlock room.

But this is something else.
2 doors functioning at the same time.
If one of them get stuck, the other get stuck.

You mean a pickup sprite? I've told you before man, I can do whatever artwork you need. I support this project 100%, but I can't help if you don't tell me whats up. Never hesitate to send me a request.

[Fox]

Hahaha, I could do it myself, but I don't want custom artwork in this mod.

[pmw]

Trying to make my shore/beach as interesting as possible.. I'm just out of ideas.

[Fox]

I dunno, maybe you could take a look at Caribbean's first levels and see if they inspire you.

[Daedolon]

Shouldn't be afraid to use more of the sandy texture, now it seems a bit too mountainy and feels like it's lacking a proper shore.

Fair enough.

[HellFire]

That texture doesn't really look like sand though. Try 4347 or 4348 with pal5.

It´s looking good. As a start I´d replace that concrete+dirt texture by the dirt only one.

[Mark]

If that building is just an isolated outpost on an island or coastline your terrain is a good idea. If its actually part of an urban area maybe a more uniform cement wall at the land's edge would work. I would also recommend shrinking the size of your pics before posting them or maybe bump up the compression a little more. The file sizes were very big.

[Jimmy]

PMW, your map is looking good. Here's some quick examples on just how simple detailing could make it look better. Cheers man, hope it inspires you in some manner.

Dirt/sand road


Beach


Shore

[Micky C]

Maybe there should be a beach themed CBP.

[Jimmy]

Marvelous idea. I'm down.

Omaha Beach-style; Duke storming the beach riddled with alien strongholds and bunkers near the shore.

[Micky C]

So who would be interested in taking part in such a CBP?

Also tried making a new shotgun but this one shows up wrong in game, the background doesn't become transparent for some reason:
...
If anyone can help me out as to what is wrong with the background on the new sprite I would greatly appreciate it.

I don't know if you ever fixed it, but the reason for that is that there is an exact duplicate of that color in the palette that isn't treated as transparent. The only ways to get around that are to edit the palette so that color isn't used or to open the tile in EditArt and replace it with the transparent color.

Wow, I didn't know that. It looks pretty cool, but it also feels abit too nice beach for finland......But I'll think about that tile -- it doesn't even change the player's skin colour!

And thanks for nice tutorial. But how about that curvy beach next to water. I think there will be some edges on it? Between water and the beach?

[zykov eddy]

More stuff from Sonic 3D.
I think I'm gonna release a new version soon.

I actually figured out the problem but I solved it by copying the pixels from existing sprite art of the background and scaled them to fit the background of my sprites.
