only 1 2 3 style.

So in other words a less frustrating puzzle? As in you can hide the switch in random places, but they can only be pressed a certain order, but also not pressed incorrectly thus preventing constant revisiting?

[Zaxtor]

Nope.

Con trick.

Switch has no switch, its a sprite with an effector that makes the switch work.

Puzzle is damn simple in game but fairly complex in con editing. The Mutual friend gives you almost all the switch code.
Except the last one to press because he is not sure.

yes the switches has to be pressed in order or the others does different behavior.

Let say you have a room with fire.

You have 2 switches,

You press No2 first.
Room opens and you burn to death.

Switch 1 disable the fire and then switch 2 safely opens the room (no fire).

Btw no fire room. is just an example.

[Scott_AW]

Now I get what you're doing there.

I've added the SE 13 thing to the TROR mapping guide on the wiki, plus some information about TROR water creation and manipulation.

I've been coding stuff for only maybe three months and that trick sounds pretty simple.

Sweet, this is very helpful...of course now I'm going to redesign a few maps...

[Fox]

Aaahhhhh, it feels like working on Duke 64 never ends. Until now I haven't bothered in replicating the closing credits sequence, but it took only a few hours to make it.

[Scott_AW]

A simple test in some simple shopping. Also means I need to redesign my weapon store a little.

[Zaxtor]

Still working on that switches thing.
Has insane con editing, well pretty complex and puzzling-like to make it work properly. Con editing it is like a complex puzzle to make em work.

Switch thing is probably about half finish.

There is 6 switches and like other post said, is very complex to make em work.
Room with those switches is loaded with interesting things.

Only spoiler I will show is the switches and shield generator.

Spoiler

Pic 1 are the switches, well they can be called levers or knifeswitches.
Color of these effector for those switches doesn't mean anything except differences.
Instead of making 6 new sprites. I make 1 that behave differently based on its spritepal

That coil like thing is a shield generator. Has probably one of the most epic effect I've ever did soo far "for a single sprite".

This room is loaded with neat tricks works with switch puzzles but others are a surprise.
Missing wall tiles are damageable walls from deadly explosions.

Pic 2 is what the switch looks like. I pulled down the effector so we see the switch properly.

[Kyanos]

This guy needed a ton of work, I've baked all his surfaces to one model with one skin, for poly2vox. Then I've edited this skin to better match the sprite. I only used colors from the 8bit sprite, not even the full duke palette. I changed the model skin for white teeth and brown claws/spikes, also trying to be more like the original sprite art.

Added: On to some death animations;

[Fox]

Finally made that goddamn multiplayer score work. I know there is no multiplayer support in Eduke32, but at least you can kill some idle bots.

[Lunick]

You are getting me really excited for this Fox.

[Hendricks266]

I was working on adding new screen-drawing related stuff to EDuke32 (for Fox and/or Resurgence) when I found that the digitalnumberz and gametextz functions introduce rounding errors into the scaling calculations. It took some code wrestling but I eliminated them.

In these images, the nuke icon at the bottom is simply rotatesprited and is used as a frame of reference for proper scaling. My gifs are a little jumpy due to my slow computer but the change is illustrated despite this.

I will commit this soon. Committed.

Here is the CON code to display this test:

I noticed that problem before. I tought it was some limitation with text displaying.

Nice, precision FTW!

Here is the CON code to display this test:

Feel free to add CON tests to source/lunatic/test, either into an already existing file, or if the test is too large or doesn't fit anywhere, into a new file.

[Zaxtor]

Finally finished that switch puzzle thing with hard and confusing con codes.

Switch does many diff things.
Just like a puzzle.

Is not those puzzle that does 2 diff things.
This one does like over 20 diff things. when you mix dif switch numbers by pressing them.

[Mikko]

No doubt that works well in practice...

[Fox]

[Jenz/Amaka]

Restarting Direct System Campaign once again.
This time, with proper documentation and no random ideas while mapping.

[Mia Max]

Working again on my map Frauenstein.

That looks really moody.

[Danukem]

Very nice work, Mia Max!

[Micky C]

Good to see you're working on that again, I was starting to get worried.

[Scott_AW]

Mini-boss for OCD, LeeHas

Or, Limited Edition Enemy Hover Assault Ship for long.

Single front mounted chaingun, wing-side rocket/morter launchers(undecided). I'll figure it out when I test it out.

[Gambini]

Looks like a toy, an expensive one you´d get on christmas!

[Micky C]

Angry Dukes!

"Those pigs are gonna pay for stealing our babes! Time to go say hello..."

Level 1:
(not an actual game)

[Stabs]

ummm hello, been awhile, doing stuff been a hell of a ride, anyway started dicking around in mapster/dukeplus again, gunna see how much of the shrapnel city episode i can cram into one map, totally diff layouts and looks only real similarity will be the locations. Think ive stuck a solid 24 hours into so far at 6000 walls / 800 sectors, shit ton of ROR.



so polymer seems a bit more faster ( or is that the sixcore and gtx680 SLI ? ) also, the visibility seems different, fog pal colors seems to blend together better when using different pals next to each other, and the vis is just not so heavy anymore, i like it.

[Helixhorned]

Welcome back. These shots look great!

The visibility has been reworked to look almost exactly like classic, and that has been the default for a while.

[Stabs]

ahh only slight problem i had with it was 241 - 255 seem to act like normal vis levels now, 240 only does that now, before they were extreme levels that were really good for tweaking fog in big areas.

[Tea Monster]

DanM - That is looking amazing. The only crit I would have is to try to add some more detail. Especially in shot 3, you can really see the sectors coming through in the light fixtures and the work tops. Good to see some Polymer goodness again!

Scott_AW that is a great design.
