BRAAAAAAIIIIIINNNSSSSS!!!!!!



I might actually change the sprites a bit in the future.

Sometimes it is more convenient to place a tripbomb on the ground.

[Daedolon]

Next up, sloped surfaces?

Actually in that case I think it would have been more convenient to place it on the wall so the laser crossed the hallway width

Well if he used a voxel for the tripmine, and the eduke devs get around to allowing voxel rotation through coordinate transformation, then something might be possible.

[Daedolon]

Model rotations are already in, so I guess there's that.

[Micky C]

Not for the classic renderer. Voxels are the way to go.

The easy buttons fix and this Tripbomb ground placing shouldn't be part of a future update for Dukeplus instead of two separated mods? Indeed, even your personal Fissile Material site need a little update.

Those cartridges are from the Cosmetic Duke mod?

This particular project will only include a single CON file, so models and voxels aren't an option. The vertical laser line is made of tile 3163 from the mini font.

What's up with the pistol magazine? Just curious if you're only doing the tripbomb edit.

There's a lot more than the tripbomb edit (notice the jibs, for example). The pistol magazine is the sprite that appears when you change out the pistol clip, normally only seen in the hud for a split second. I swapped it in for the AMMO pickup, because I think it looks better, even though if you look carefully you can see there are no bullets in it.

This mod, which I'm calling "Essential Duke" is my attempt to make a lot of shit better using only code. Another thing I've done is a new shrinking system whereby shrunken actors retain their full range of normal behavior, but they are small and harmless (and can be stomped). So they can still attack and jump etc., but they make high pitched sounds, they move slow, their projectiles are tiny and do little or no damage, and so on.

What if they're shrunk and they shoot you with a shrinker?
Does it only affect bits and pieces - perhaps a leg or something, so you have to hop around on one foot, and when you try to use the mighty boot it looks like a midget's leg.

Haha, not really a concern because the only enemy with a shrinker is newbeast, and they are immune to the shrinker themselves.

[Mike Norvak]

I think Forge is suggesting that the monsters use the shrinker from time to time when shrunk but it won't be as effective as the regular shrinker hence the funny behaviour. Or maybe he's just joking go figure...

[Gambini]

what if they aim to your parts and when you go to the urinals duke says this sucks!

[Forge]

Or they use the expander, then Duke says, "Suck it down"

I have been working on some mini games to add in my mod. Here are some two videos of my slot machines (the sprites still need a lot of work).

Slot machines can spawn goodies (using respawnhitag):


They can also operate activators:

I like the new hand sprite with the pointing finger. Any chance you would be willing to share that?

Sure, I put it on the stockpile page:

It's not what you think it is.

So it's not a new map that you're working on?

[Mister Sinister]

It is a new map, but it's not exactly alien-themed.

[Daedolon]

Where's the film crew?

[Maarten]

Nice to see so much activity here!|

Wall limit is getting closer and closer...

That looks great though shading/lighting is a little bland, and that painting frame is way too low res to be used like that imo

Mixing different texture resolutions in weird ways, or different levels of texture stretching, is something too many usermaps are guilty of, including mine.

Love this. Always thought there was something about slot machines in Build games. Shadow Warrior had some, and then in RR:Rides Again they seemed to want to take all the cool stuff of Shadow Warrior, so they made better slots machines (and better RoR).
So yeah I really like the slot machines in Rides Again, I could spend almost an hour on a level getting ammo and hp fron them, and these look like they could be even better.

We had slot machines in Duke Begins, Richard made them. I bet they are the best slot machines I've seen in Build Engine.

Speaking of which, what happened to this mod?

[icecoldduke]

I really like Jaap's slot machine, it reminds me of Prey for some reason.

[RichardStorm]

Paused and resumed so many times, then put on hold forever.
