Wow, Goldwave is still around? I used that program back in the early 2000's IIRC. It had the best scratch remover at the time. I was transferring my old vinyl albums to the computer.

I still have an ancient version installed on my Win10 system.

Is still around and going strong.

Learning how to use mapster32, doing a doom e1m1 attempt and a lot of mistakes (thanks the gods for the wiki)

Not exactly Duke but I guess I'll let you know that the Slick Willy map I was working on is not dead, though it's being made in the Unreal I engine. Lots of changes in life in the past few years, and interest in game design comes and goes as there's not much time for it. I recently found this thing in a hard drive and guessed I'd try to get it finished.

Nice to know, that you are still around here. I think most of us know how real life, family and work can change your view on gaming.

i would like to know if Fusion 2 is still alive, too.

[Diaz]

Fusion 2 was almost finished and has been for a long time, but performance is too poor to release it as it is...

Slowly but surely still working on the remake of SuburbsTC. Someone found more unfinished maps which means a lot more work for me. Its getting close to the point that I'm considering asking for a helper. We'll see.

We're already talking about this but I had not seen the screens till now. I'm not sure I can help much due to my limited amount of free time, but I think the maps would benefit a lot from replacing the 8-bit art with the original textures from Kingpin or other sources - for example those bricks from Redneck Rampage would look better if replaced with Kingpin's bricks, same for the asphalt floors, or the windows which were converted to Duke's palette. Since I know this project is eating up a lot of time already, I can help with that if you wish.

[Mark]

I just finished emailing you some more pics from the first map. Yeah, there are a few textures blurrier than the rest. I've replaced some already and before wrapping up the project I'll look them over again. I have tons of assets to use for replacement. Thanks for the offer of help. If I think of anything specific I'll let you know now that I have your email address.

I would love to see what you did so far. The screenshots looked fantastic and more than promising.
Any chance to get a download for this?

[Sanek]

Coming VERY Soon!

Well I would need to get it to a releaseable state first, and it's not one of my priorities... plus it's not 1999 and I'm not sure I could release ot with all the stuff from other games like I did with the first Fusion. World has become crazy in all these years.

It displays properly for me...

SilverballZ will be released in just 2 hours.

I'm making a high-res version of the Moon Shuttle for Syndroid's Serious Sam Fusion Duke mod.

It doesn't look like the sprite.

Big thanks to Nuke.YKT for some new additional fixes (that should go live soon)
From what I can see after some testing, polymost has surpassed classic in terms of TROR rendering stability as it seemed to handle a few corner cases better than classic did.

Apparently mirrors aren't in, but this alone should allow SO much more to be done without going classic-only or polymer.
Still needs more testing but these patches will be a game changer for polymost TROR.

Compared to the current "v1 patch" from the other day, sprites render much better and everything overall is much more stable.

[Danukem]

I haven't looked into this at all lately, but in the past I know there have been issues with actors being able to pass through TROR layers (i.e. getting stuck or lacking visibility where the player would have no problem). If this hasn't been done already, it would be good if this were handled at the source level, so that scripters didn't need to add special hacks to allow actors to traverse the TROR world.

damn straight. Alien Armageddon, AMC E3, the resurrection of WGR2...

[Micky C]

Ion Maiden of course, and the countless, countless eduke32 improvements that are directly or indirectly related to Ion Maiden.

Not to mention the all-new eduke32 ports for Redneck Rampage and Blood, of which the developer has been improving TROR in polymost.

I hope they don't forget about classic renderer, otherwise I'll not be able to enjoy those TROR improvements.

[Micky C]

TROR already works relatively well in classic if you have half a clue what you’re doing. I’ve pulled off some REALLY complex in the classic renderer in the AMC TC. Keep in mind that TROR was originally devised as a polymer-only feature, and that we’re quite lucky it came to classic in the first place, and that it’s as stable as it is.

If polymost TROR is at least as stable as classic, this is absolutely huge news.
Once the new version is available, I’ll stress test it to see how good it really is. The picture oasiz posted looks promising.

[High Treason]

TROR is for pussies!

Spoiler

I don't really like posting WIP stuff early on, but then this was built in 2014 and everyone will have forgotten if it ever comes to fruition. If all goes to plan, this would be the least of my concern regarding technical tomfoolery in the map.
But don't ask me, ask my boss.

Me too. In fact, current TROR is enough for me. I meant enjoying the new improvements as a player.

Can I know how you did it? I'll understand if you prefer to keep it as a secret until the map is released, but I ask because I'm curious to know how can be that possible without EDuke32. Very impressive!

Blocking sprites?

The new ZBrush is out and it has a few render filters built in. One is actually a 'retro game' filter.
