Duke Quest 4: The Case of the Missing Betas

[Jenz/Amaka]

Still ain't dead.
Learning few more tricks and I think I finally managed to make good looking custom enemy sprites. All it requires is bit of photoshop magic and they are done.

Instead of the crosshair? Completely possible, but I won't do it for two reasons:
1. Embedded systems such as Wii don't have a system cursor.
2. There is a slight delay in propagation of the mouse's position to the game. Displaying a tile indicates where the game thinks the cursor is so there are no mouseclick accidents.

At the very least, there will be an EVENT_DISPLAYCURSOR for which you can setvar RETURN a custom tilenum.

Color me stupid but I don't see why the system cursor cannot be displayed at the proper location, or convert it to a tile as a last resort. About the Wii system, you could use the crosshair tile as the cursor or disable it, but would be weird for an OS. Maybe you reached a point where custom graphics should be included with Eduke32?

If it's not the system displaying it, it's not the system cursor.

I don't even know if you could do that across all (any?) platforms, not to mention all the Linux desktop managers under the sun.

Using the crosshair as a cursor is a nod to Raptor, and it's fitting for a first-person shooter.

Nonsense. Games use custom cursors all the time. I like the crosshair tile better than Megaton's triangle.

Maybe, but more infrastructure would be needed under the hood first.

Include a directory/grp/zip and a def file with Eduke32. Use tile numbers in the 16000s. Add the ROR texture from Mapster.

I lol'd.

Why?

Does this look like SWP? Enjoy your Ninja Slice Hack.

Besides, the AMC TC is in around tile 19000 already.

[Fox]

Really? I remember the VIEWSCREEN effect was generated with a texture around the 16000 mark, so I assumed you wasn't supposed to use tile numbers so high. My bad.

[Hendricks266]

Technically you're on the right track. We reserve a few tiles above the actual cap for stuff like the viewscreen and the screen rotation tile. We somewhat recently bumped MAXTILES up to 24something. Still, hardcoding a tile number for something that modders could potentially want to change is a non-starter.

If I remember right, helix actually doubled the max tile limit so I believe it's over 30,000 - only someone as fucking insane as myself could use all of that, but still

[Hendricks266]

You're right.

#define MAXTILES 30720
#define MAXUSERTILES (MAXTILES-16) // reserve 16 tiles at the end

[RichardStorm]

Its over (30)- thouSAAAAAND !

Yeah, it's a constant worry that ultimately you will use it all up... and then what?

[Jblade]

it's not really a concern since I haven't even broken 20,000 tiles at the moment - it's not likely that we'll hit that limit

[gibfrag]

Great job Hendricks!

[oasiz]

Thread needs more Duke.

Some PAL24 and PAL7 stuff:

- Decayed brick warehouse thing

- sewer complex with some ROR that isn't visible

Working with a laptop ATM so I don't really have the most calibrated display around, gotta re-check the shades later.
Anyway, trying to apply some stronger shading with more details this time around.

Just something to keep the thread alive.

[MetHy]

Nice, very original.

[Micky C]

The floor in the first shot is a custom texture right?

Moving on;
Welcome to my humble abode for the AMC TC Episode 2. It's a renovated storage room next to the labs. The messiness reflects my real life all too well...

It seems to be #4171 texture.

[oasiz]

Yup, #4171.

All is stock stuff so far.
Floors are a bit trickier customer since I can't really use alternate palettes or strong shades to skew the texture itself as that affects the player too much.

As usual, here is a link, updating stuff as I go

Time for another of Micky C's confusing isometric shots. No (meaningful) TROR present.
