Cage is correct, except I used tile 3416.

You don't want to make the bottom too dark of course.

To my knowledge I have never seen a volumetric lighting effect pulled off like this, at least in a vanilla Duke map.

I have, except in a WIP map by somebody

[Tea Monster]

It's done with sprites that are visible from one side only. The light beams are constructed so that only the inside faces are visible.

[Stabs]

so anyone want to help me with my mission of turning D3D into a lightgun railgun shooter? pretty easy to make just be a rail camera systen, stops at some parts for some drastically reduced AI that takes waypoints

Ive got a poper aimtrak gun to do all the testing on and can code up the campaign ,i dare say we could have a nice build ready within 2 weeks. i just cant con code

[Fox]

Did this today... still need work...

[MusicallyInspired]

Nice. From afar it looks just a tad blurry compared to the original. Perspective all looks good.

[Daedolon]

Is that metal bar supposed to be bent upward like that? It starts off in unison to the green bit at first.

[Fox]

That's the result of lazy shading.

[OpenMaw]

Alien Warrior test rotations on the new palette. (Up-rezzed the sprite so the preview is easier to see, originally 93 px tall.)

Need to do some slight recoloring on the original skin so that the head ridges and teeth are a bit more evident. Lighting tweaks, etc. The tail came out wonky in the rotations, but that's easy enough to correct.

Quite pleased with how it came out. It does have a bit of a Doom 64 vibe. http://img69.imagesh...2/doom64imp.png

masked walls

As long as the desired room height isn't too high, you can get away with just masked walls of 1220, except you can't get too much Y detail into it.

[OpenMaw]

Sleeping devil. Reworked the texture, and decided to go with a slightly higher resolution (this one is only rezzed up 200 percent, the previous one was up-rezzed 300 percent. At this resolution the details are bit clearer(plus new light and texture helps) without betraying the look i'm going for. Original vertical px size 83.

Here's the first frame from the previous one. Again, only uprezzed 200%. Original vertical px size is 122



Really hoping, in terms of animation and AI, to make these guys dynamic and fun. The pose above is admittedly a bit stiff, but it's all gonna come down to how everything comes together.

[Daedolon]

That does look really cool.

[OpenMaw]

Voxel-based terrain, based on the landscapes seen in Aliens. Still very much WIP, I don't have much experience with voxels. I've got five rock shapes so far, three based on the large phallic shapes, and two that are more generic rocks (those ones up front.) Also, pay no attention to the HUD as it is, will be changed drastically when I open up my own thread for this project...

[brullov]

Here must be joke about mapping :s

[Fox]

Fear the crayon launcher!

[MusicallyInspired]

Very nice!

[Micky C]

I assume the rocket animates during reload? If so, that would be pretty cool.

[MusicallyInspired]

There is no animation when it shoots so you'd have to add it in.

[Fox]

The missile moves each time you fire.

[MusicallyInspired]

Sweet

Good for a brain test too. Clockwise or anticlockwise?

EDIT: Well, it's more obvious this time. The shadow girl is still a classic.

Can I sex you, Fox?

Looks great but I think the animation should happen faster, as I think it looks like its firing way before the rocket is actually inside.

[Fox]

That animation is from Duke 64.

[Gambini]

I agree with Daedolon, but it looks awesome anyway. Yet, the fact the rocket is fired from the center while the launcher comes from a side is very noticeable. I´d toy around with the idea of spawning the rocket from the side or maybe make a muzzleflash that hides its initial trajectory.

[Fox]

I am only widescreening it...

[Gambini]

Additional value on quality never hurts. Right now it looks like the rocket comes from the fist. But well... Nevermind.

[OpenMaw]

Can't tamper with the Mona Lisa... EXCEPT TO MAKE IT WIDESCREEN.


I kid, Fox, I kid. It looks great.

[Micky C]

The only problem is that the reloading animation is so cool that the player probably can't help but look at it instead of the enemies, leading to several unfair deaths

IIRC it's not a simple matter to offset weapon fire and have it remain accurate through to infinity.
