Ok then the HD stands for Higher Definition. Happy?

It's still the best name for the pack IMO. You have yet to suggest a better name other than "the Duke3D Voxel Pack" which most people would assume refers to Reaper Man's pack.

[Tetsuo]

Well it's not really up to me but personally speaking I'd take anything other than High Res or HD Voxel Pack. Even Duke3D Voxel Pack+ or Duke3D Voxel Pack Redux or Reloaded for example.

Oh dear, please no.

[Tetsuo]

Oops, I made a boo boo... I didn't realize that word was taboo now because of the whole Duke3D Reloaded situation.

*goes off and prays for forgiveness from the duke*

[Kyanos]

Yeah, it's definitely no reloaded. Lol. I chose HD to set it apart from reaper mans voxel pack, I never though it would be confused with High Definition. You see, eduke is more about 32bit and OpenGL lately. This package immediately crashes eduke32. Yes it fills up all my RAM while running, and to good use if I do say so. Yes it looks blocky and pixelated, I love it, yes that duke voxel is very blocky and pixelated, I don't want to overload the pack with a voxel we may see once and while in the mirror

[Hank]

HD Voxels are made as HD Voxels .


Just name the pack what it contains and/or Mark's Voxel Pack, Reaperman's Voxel Pack etc. No one expects EDuke to carrie HD voxels, but once you suggest it, you look like a show off that could not do. Just mouthing off

[Kyanos]

I'll agree with that point. The name is still up in the air, HDVP was sort of an oxymoron, considering it only runs in the 8-bit renderer.
Anyways, work progresses; The Queen;

[Mark]

That one made the transfer nicely.

[Zaxtor]

Did a new trick with TROR and SE13.
Will be seen when playing the mod.

Dunno if anyone ever tried doing experiments with SE13 and TROR.


Also did con hacking.
Something that explodes really hard and causes severe damage to the room and few rooms near it.

Yellows are a pain in the 8bit palette, blues are more forgiving And it was a very well done model, my props to the original artist.

You're talking to the guy who originally requested TROR be hooked up to SE 13

Although the most complex thing I've done with it is probably that exploding bed in Parkade (which could have just as easily be made of sprites in hindsight, but the map was a kind of demo afterall). Sounds like you've done something bigger. I also used it with some slopes in an abandoned map with moderate success.

@Drek, that is definitely one of the best voxel jobs so far, if not the best.

[Gambini]

Lol i was thinking what the hell is DT talking about?? We have another trooper! troopers are easy as shit heheh

[Zaxtor]

Talking to every1 using TROR.

It explodes and transform the sector(floor) into a TROR hole (inv).
No moving sector tricks D:

[Mark]

That would be a neat trick.

[Scott_AW]

Kind of why I had to stop working on Black Shadow was because it started to become apparent that I wouldn't be able to have all the voxel models for all the enemies at the detail level they were. Probably would either take forever to load or wouldn't load at all by breaking the memory limit for voxels.

Of course that's why I'm going the more 8-bit nintendo-y look.

And it's slowly progressing, here's a fresh video of the flyby test on the highway map.

[Gambini]

I love it. The minimalist design indeed resembles old consoles like NES.

I've been on a NES fix lately, I've finally beat Deadly Towers, started playing Dungeon Magic, which thanks to save states and picking WATER magic to start with, I'm actually getting kind of far. Still the two hardest unforgiving games I've ever played.

Yeah that's not an accident or coincidence. Helix specifically added that as an official feature shortly after TROR was added to eduke.

It's been used in several released maps already. Did you only just find out about it? I should really add it to the wiki...

back in the early 90s when i had an NES somebody gave me Dungeon Magic: sword of the elements. no book or anything. took me forever to figure out how to play that game and still didn't know what half the stuff in the shops was used for (like that red elixir). I didn't know any better so i always started with earth magic. it was harder to get the earth sword, but i like the water walking spell. it allowed me to get to that island up north and there's also a flying ring at the bottom of the sea off the north east coast so i could grab that up as well. Messing with symbol combos i also figured out that earth magic gives the strongest fireball attack.

[Gambini]

Battletoads and Mario3 the best NES games so far. not for nothing their cartridges weighed three times the regular ones.

Used to enjoy Prisioner of War a lot too. Kinda a Duke Nukem NES.

[Scott_AW]

Red Elixer gives you a strength bonus. I found this out by accident when I ran out of red potions. Tried it again when I didn't have a strong enough weapon for the cave monsters and was actually able to hurt them after using it.

Still don't know what the blue one does...

I thought of it and explored it.

I tested it and it worked.
Put a SE 13, point it down (so doesn't make entire sector a "wall".
put it above the floor of the TROR.

I do all kind of experiments.


You should add to wiki.

Coincidence can happen. Some people discover stuff similar to other people they never met nor heard.
One of my artwork example look identical to someone else art, and we never met nor heard of eachothers.

[Forge]

i think the blue elixer was a full heal or a more powerful heal.
the blue potion & white potion - no idea
i think there were some that acted like weak attack spells, but i didn't bother with them

the only ones i bothered with were the red potions and food & water when i was going spelunking in a tough dungeon.

[Forge]

Legend of Zelda

[Forge]

after all these years and a renewed curiosity since you brought the game up i decided to look up a faq about Dungeon Magic to see what all those items were supposed to do. I found out that what i was doing with the earth attack spells to get high damage was a game bug. Without any book or predefined knowledge of the game mechanics to distract me i was exploiting a glitch which allowed a max damage attack spell with minimal cost.

[Player Lin]

Battletoads on NES? I won't count that one after that game just kicked my ass so hard on many years ago...and friendly fire madness when play with friends...

[High Treason]

A shameless cheap knock-off that I don't plan on releasing, least not properly, might land up in the unfinished content thread at some point;



Really nothing more than a coding experiment, gameplay is similar to Duke Nukem Stranded, has some other features including contamination of food and water which will trigger the illness system (making the game rather hard for as long as it lasts) and I'm sure you can guess what the yellow and brown bars are for.

Hold space to drink water (any water). Then switch to what was formerly the Freezer if it doesn't automagically do so.

Just posting that because it's hilarious. Feel free to use that concept/code, although it's Duke 1.5 code.

[Zaxtor]

Worked on more concode.
Pretty complex this time.

Example switch that
You must press 1, then 2 and 3rd switch,

you cannot press 1 3 2.
you cannot press 2 3 1
you cannot press 3 2 1
only 1 2 3 style.

(this is no level switch code spoiler) is just an example.

Pretty complex to make tho,
Real thing has 6 switches.
