I'm working on something huge and awesome; it will change the Duke community and bricks will be shat.

[Spiker]

Ok, so when can we expect some details?

[TerminX]

People who hang out on IRC know what I'm talking about.

[Daedolon]

You're that prominent you can get it done soon enough to talk about it in this thread?

well here it is with it's own tile14... its a bata test.

injoy.. =)

Impressive! So how does it work? You wrote an actual terrain generator for this stuff?

Yes, I'm more than confident enough about it to start hinting that something is coming. I've been working on it frequently and it's just BAM, one success after another with it now.

Sector Vehicles?

[Plagman]

Sector vehicles are currently entirely possible to code using CON so that would be pretty underwhelming.

Sprite/model based vehicles are more versatile and easier to code, so I for one will never be coding sector based ones. I'm saying that now in just in case someone asks.

TX is sporting a chub, but huge and awesome are mere exaggerations.

thank you. i made the parts and connected them like lago. simcity2000 meets BF1942.

im still in the process of making terrain parts. it's going to take some time befor i can make the lake and open waters.
thats when it'll get really interesting.

[Fox]

Bored, so I created a CON to the water in all levels transparent.

It's glitch like hell, but it's a relief to see the levels like that.

Heh, pretty sweet. Does it use the RoR SEs on the water sectors or some other technique? Someday Polymer will do that automatically, with reflection and refraction to boot. The rendering code is already there, I just have to plug it in. Here's a shot back when I had hardcoded it for E1L3:

[SuperFudd]

Hi again.
I have been invited to post some screen shots of the "alpha" of my "Otobrain vs Enforcer". How do I make screen shots and how do I get to GOD mode?
How do I post the shots? I could try to figure it out but I would rather ask.
I moved the marine to the start point.

big thing standing in the way of sector vechs (for polymer anyway) the street it can drive on has to be one big sector, and if the 10 odd street lights for example all end up hitting that street its lighting is going to look really out of place.

[Danukem]

I'm still working on making a new player character for WGR2. Still a ways to go, but I have the basic attacks for all of his weapons almost finished. Here's a movie showing him using the Armageddon Sword and Thunderstrike Hammer:

The sword attack where he flies in, slices, then returns to his original position is what I like to call In-N-Out Burger. It works on airborne opponents as well.

What's the ETA for this? I've been waiting to see water like this since you posted this shot looong time ago. While non-transparent lava and slime look pretty good with normals applied, the current water in Polymer sucks, even though the HRP tiles were done by me

[NerdZilla]

This is what it looked like befor. its cool and smooth. but it was'nt really what i wanted it to look like.


This is what i intended it to look like. i just have to make the parts that lead to a flat ground. and like i said befor. i'll be making ilands in the middle of lakes and really cool looking dig sites.

even with out any backround to cast a cool looking shadow. are the parts to make a flat serfice to put a house on. it looks good..
added benafit : maps will run easyer then the last ones thay'll also be alot bigger.

PS: the stuff above my comment... AWESOME!!!!.

[Geoffrey]

Why not use models for the environment? It kindof reminds me of the Soldier of Fortune 2 map generator now, which would generate some random mountains and then fill it up with pre-made objects like walls, trees, houses and fences.

[TerminX]

Okay, I didn't want to say anything SPECIFIC until the first test over the Internet was performed, but now it has (and it was successful), so, here it is...

I coded true client/server multiplayer.

It features in-game joining.

It never goes out of sync, because it doesn't use a sync based system.

This is currently a prototype, but the code is now in svn, so you can be 1000% sure (not a typo) I'm making good on my claims, just like everything else I've dared to run my mouth about in the past.

More information forthcoming.

[Jblade]

....

HOLY GOD DAMN SHIT

at first I thought 'nah it can't be that great' but servers and NO SYNC? You're a legend.

Does it need con modification for that kind of thing, or will it work with any kind of con files? In anycase this is great news since sync issues is the AMC TC's biggest multi problem but with those gone it'll be clear sailing

[BrOiler1985]

I've been waiting for this since... ever!

[Lord Misfit]

And thus bricks were expelled all over the world...

[NY00123]

Great job with the multi player rewrite! And many of us have thought that it would never happen...

Wow first Polymer and now this? You guys are doing a tremendous job with Eduke32 that is for sure.

He didn't lie.

[Sangman]

I should've worn a diaper when coming to Duke4 today, but now it's too late. brb gonna have to clean the poo of my chair

[The Commander]

It actually works, I don't believe it!
