For me the issue was the utterly shit framerate. Yet for some reason I still finished it few years back, go figure.

[Mister Sinister]

Working on what might be either my biggest achivement in mapping or the greatest failure. (most probably failure)

[ck3D]

looking good !

[Mblackwell]

You know that if you press F12 it takes a screen cap, right?

[Daedolon]

Alt+PrtScn is also more viable than what you did there.

I'd probably respect Cyberkeef more as a boss if he had his own sounds...

I though to give him some new attacks, and replace his sounds by the final boss from Shadow Warrior, that could suit him very well...

Woah, a WIP Total Meltdown TC? Nice, about time someone started creating one. Though I always thought that extracting from the ROM was a very difficult task due to the encrypted files, (EDIT: either that or I have misunderstood something). Either way, this is going to bring back some really good memories with much better frame rate.

[Mav3r1ck]

It's very strange seeing DNTM with improved frame rate and it not being choppy like it was on the console.

The Cyberkeef looks great!

Man, that level is one epilepsy eye-aids festival.

Fox has posted several of these playthrough videos for DNTM now, and while they're nice, they're each generating like a page+ discussion on either the video, the game, the mod, or a combination of those.

Am I the only one that thinks since we've got a thread specifically for the mod, and given the large amount of content for that posted here, that these shouldn't be posted in the thread made for it? The 'what are you working on' thread is more designed for random screenshots or small projects/maps.

I see your point, but it's not hurting anyone to have those videos posted here. It sounds like you are trying to make a rule that if a project has its own thread, then it should stay in its own thread, but I don't agree with that because it would limit the ability of creators to promote their work. DNTM is generating way more interest than anything else being developed in the community right now so just deal with it EDIT: And yes I know that the maps for DNTM were actually created long ago by a different team.

Overall I think the sorting through and pending release of the Duke beta assets (ultimately in playable form) is generating the most interest, and indeed there's a lot more people browsing the forums at any given time and actually signing up as a direct result of the beta assets excitement.

Although it's probably not to the extent of some other people on the forum, I am looking forward to the release of the DNTM mod as I never played the original and would like to try out the Plug and Prey episode for the first time.

Er yeah I wasn't thinking of that as a project being developed, but I guess it could be regarded that way, in which case it would win hands down in terms of excitement generated.

Stop killing the fun Micky, post more videos Fox

[NNC]

Ian Boffin sure loved those funky out-of-place colors he used for textures. I'm not sure if I like them or not in this particular level, but they are very stylish indeed. I'm more looking for the first 3 levels of DNTM, those had the best quality.

[Fox]

Awww fuck, to upload longer videos on Youtube I need to verify my account, but I don't have a cell phone. Anyone help?

[Lunick]

Thankyou Fox, I am very grateful for your videos unlike other Australian users

[Mav3r1ck]

So is the DNTM TC more or less playable now?

Awesome vids btw!

The thing I liked about the Alien Rendezvous gameplay was that Fox fixed the battlelord to where, before it spots Duke it has the correct size, instead of having a small size and reverting instantly to the regular boss size after spotting Duke.

I just realized, although visually pretty simple, this effect I'm working on uses quite a few of effects:

• SE0: Rotated Sector
  
• SE1: Pivot Sprite
  
• SE9: Down Open Door Lights
  
• SE15: Slide Door
  
• SE24: Conveyor Belt
  
• SE30: 2 Way Train
  
• SE31: Floor Rise/Fall

Plus there's a Doom Door in there as well. That's what there's so far anyway...

I'm not gonna tell you what the effect is, but I guess if anyone guesses what it is, I can throw a reference to them in the level.

[Fox]

A drilling machine?

[Daedolon]

I actually wonder how viable that Shadow Warrior drill would be to make.

I've already made it.

Not sure if I should show it off or not because it's for the final mission of the AMC TC (but it only uses vanilla effects, plus TROR of course). It's not 100% identical, but it's probably as good as you're going to get in Duke using vanilla.

Daedolon isn't it a conveyor belt that starts off not moving? It's just that you've been talking about it so it's a good chance that this could be that, but then again that IS a lot of effects you're using (although you did say it was simple).

[Daedolon]

I guess I'll wait and see your drill later, should be fun.

I've yet to achieve these two things without the player intervening:

1) Conveyor belt that is stopped when the level starts.
2) Forcefield that's disabled when the level starts.

Still looking for solutions.

[MetHy]

Touchplate at the start of level? should work at least for the conveyor belt I think? A message will show up though...

[Micky C]

Infosuite:

Quote

If you want the conveyor belt to be toggled by a trigger, place a Switch tagged [ActivationSound,Channel]. This effect is not compatible with Touchplates.

[MetHy]

oh yeah that's right, one of the many reasons why i gave up making that conveyor puzzle i wanted to make for the first floor map of duke hard....

Can some of the automatic projectiles (like you know; the rocket coming out of the spaceship in E1L2 except perhaps using something not as loud like a liztroop laser) 'activate' buttons by shooting at them if you put the button in front of them?

Edit : i know; i remember high treason mentionning you can do anything using the targets from Babe Land. Try linking the target to your conveyor belt (like, the target is your 'switch') and have an automatic projectile destroy the targets (or perhaps even just a random explosion) ?
