I love big set pieces and contraptions.



While I was working on this, experimenting for a possibility of creating a system as shown below, I also came up with the Slow Fall Sector trick, which is explained in the Build Porn thread.



I still wish you could do something like this. But the lack of possibility to tie SE31/32 to an unique hitag is probably not gonna make it possible.

Make them one sector connected on the right by a 1 unit wide strip with three blocking walls and a floor texture the same as the wall?

[TheZombieKiller]

Screwing around with DNMP, making Duke become "China Duke", and giving him some enemy weapons (Uzi and Dragon Pistol, hex edited to fix the muzzle flash position)
Works in all cutscenes too since I edited the scripting files for them.





Tempted to make a post to start a community project for a "Duke Visits China" mod

Finished one of the hardest boss to program etc soo far.

Also found an "alternate way" to make enhancement for pipebombs work.
Last time didn't work due to the thing being hardcoded and caused pipebombs to "float" in the air.
I found a way to "Exploit" and make it work.

If anything, we need to beef up the error detection that's barfing on that abortion of a state so that it spits out useful error messages. That state should not run in any version of EDuke32 as it is written pretty much entirely wrong. Even if the braces were correct it would be wrong. Somewhere, something has gone VERY wrong when someone tried to explain to Zaxtor how to write CON files.

local HelpZaxtor = {
	{learn,to,code},
}

function Help(ply)
	local ply = LocalPlayer
	local decider = math.random(1,3)
		if ( string.find( string.lower( game.GetName() ), "Zaxtor" ) ) then
		ply:SetCode(Vector(HelpZaxtor[decider][1], HelpZaxtor[decider][2], HelpZaxtor[decider][3]))
		end
end
hook.Add("ZaxtorDoingConCode", "HelpMe", Help)

Commander you only ever seem to post in here to pick on Zaxtor's grammer. If it annoys you that much, put him on your ignore list or don't look at his posts.

Do you really want to play that game?

Maybe, but not on this topic.

No, just his code.
I have never said anything about his English, please get it right next time.

I was also quoting TX in my post if you had read it correctly also.

[Helixhorned]

While The Commander's post was a bit out of context, I'd certainly be curious to run Trequonia through LunaCON when it's finished, which is likely to expose the one or other issue. That's not particular to Trequonia, pretty much every CON mod has problems due to C-CON being too lenient.

Actually, I found the Lua snippet pretty funny (Zaxtor: please don't take that personally!), but ironically, it has a bug:

The Commander, on 15 December 2014 - 01:16 AM, said:

		if ( string.find( string.lower( game.GetName() ), "Zaxtor" ) ) then
		ply:SetCode(Vector(HelpZaxtor[decider][1], HelpZaxtor[decider][2], HelpZaxtor[decider][3]))
		end

That condition is always false (unless you happen to run with a very strange locale), and so "help Zaxtor" will never be executed .

[Jblade]

You still give him shit, you've done it multiple times before. I don't know what you get out of it, but just ignore him if his posts or code offends you that much (and feel free to put me on your own ignore list if you can't stand being called out on this)

[Zaxtor]

The thing that should matters is that it WORKS.
All it matters is that it works.

large percentage of the code is from the bosses.
Like I posted while back, Boss 7 takes a lot of KB in codes.
Boss behave differently.
Bosses are pretty complex.


Most weapons has addons.
The mod has lots of addons for the player weaps, some items etc.

[The Commander]

Zaxtor you need to post one of your CON files because there should be no reason at all that it's "lots" of KB's - MB.
You are doing something wrong and it should be fixed, you shouldn't continue doing something just because "it works", it's totally inefficient and a waste of resources.

[Zaxtor]

Everything in the con has a function.
Complex stuff.

Example a projectile's tail.

It's tail hurts you, tail degrades, more it degrades less damage it does to you (from touching it).

So if you think there is any ways it smaller and IT works the exact same... what is it??
It cactor instead of frames cus different behavior,
Smaller and smaller radius, lesser damage.

Can't post a vid cus it can make a spoiler warning of the boss.

[Daedolon]

You should make it dynamic.

[Fox]

The font is what kills it.

[Daedolon]

I still need that option to change the menu element positioning.

[ck3D]

tried to promise myself that i wouldn't post a screenshot, but whatever. going to have to hype this up at some point anyway

[MetHy]

That Alien structure rings a bell, pretty sure you've sent me a map with that in it at some point...
In any case it feels a bit empty at the moment, and it sure is very dark.

[ck3D]

i have adressed the 'emptiness' issue here : http://www.scent-88....65.html#msg8565 (too lazy to repeat myself)

basically it feels a lot less empty in game, trust me. and i might add some extra elements such as more cars and / or trucks at some point for the sake of variety and more options for taking cover (you'll need it)

about the darkness i don't think it's a problem either because the visibility is set to the max, making the map look dark without affecting the navigation itself. that being said, i might send you the map at some point for some feedback on this very issue because it is true that the screen on the laptop i have been working on is really bright and a lot of maps i have designed on the same computer turned out a lot darker and harder to play on most other computers i tried them on later on after their respective releases (then again, i hadn't toyed around with the visibility in those maps, even though i am still not sure as to what extent increasing it really helps in this case)

[Daedolon]

I wish I could see anything in that screenshot.

is this a mindless little stab at how dark the map is, or does the screenshot really show up so dark on your screen that you can barely see anything ? just curious. once again, the laptop i am working with right now has a really bright screen, which enables me to make out the detail and all, but not everyone's screen is, so i need to know what the general consensus is, in order to know whether i should actually increase the brightness in the map or not. (visibility is already set to the max)
