I thought, for the fun of it, I'd make an episode, some new textures, models, sounds, and all. Of course, not being an expert in all of these (or really, any?) I can't get it to look "polished", but expect the effect to be pretty good, and the game play to be good. When will I have it finished? when it's done, of course. I have 3 levels 90% complete, 3 levels around 40% complete, and 3 at <10% complete, and just like with DNF, I keep going back and redoing stuff (models, textures, sounds from scratch, and editing maps, not restarting them from scratch). I put in a good 10-15 minutes a day on the task on average, skipping some days, a few hours sometimes when I get the inspiration. It's been several months now since I started with the (90% complete) Grand Central Station opening level--probably still many months to go. Currently focusing on Brooklyn Bridge (hey, I can get you a good deal on it... )

I've found it a good way to learn: Blender, Gimp, Sibelius, and CON scripting.

Still working on my castle map since january

I hope I can finish it before next Duke Plus release.

Hats off to you!

I'm working on my addon HRPs, my website (DukeBeta in particular), and a bunch of other contributions to the wiki and such.

Stop mirroring my current situation you bastard!

Storyline for one of my mods and the presentation of it.

Now that I got Mapster to cooperate without crashing, I'm now in the planning stages of Duke Nukem: Enterprise. Right now, I'm working on a test DukeMatch map that takes place in a Klingon Death Arena (you've probably seen those, where they hold rituals for executions). I'm recreating that, and so far, I believe it looks good on paper at least. Might start breaking ground tonight to see how well it goes. I'm not shutting the solo player out, tho, I'll definitely give you a boss creature to fight with in the arena, and it'll certainly be a treasure gem once I figure out how well it works.

Dude, you're awesome! Can't wait!

[Thedutchjelle]

I had an awesome map I was working on. It's an abadoned office building. It's my best map yet, took extra care in the lightning department. Only monster placement remains.

I've been working on it over a year, and now i'm halted by my own hate/love of the slimer. I want them in my map but I hate to playtest the map with them in So I kinda delay my map release lol.

Hi,

I'm making a new episode what includes seven (7) maps.

Maps are like from "real life", famous buildings / places from Tampere Finland.

Here's a few screenshots:

Map 7 in build:


Map 5 in game:


Also I like to make some "nice" cars to my Episode:





But this project is freezed, due this: http://forums.duke4....?showtopic=1113

And we told you that you will need to start a new map unless you want to modify the con's and include hub maps (think Half Life 1)

The limits of Eduke32 can not be increased any more, instead of using so many walls in the next map try do use other things in there place like sprites.

[Jimmy]

Looks like an early Roch map.

Why the limits of Eduke32 can not be increased any more? I think this project will be frozen for a long time or I just quit from this, if I can't continue with one map, sad but true.

Little offtopic, but I'm just curious, if Eduke raised limits so much, why it is impossible to increase more from 16384?

For me, this case sounds like "wall array table" is getting too big. But 16384? What's that? Like, 32767 or 65535 sounds more standard for overflow.



Just asking.

[William Gee]

You should of planned the map to work within the current eduke32 limits. If you cant finish the level without more, then delete some parts of the level, or remove unnecessary walls to get more stuff, and complete it within the area you have made.

It was already possible to build giant levels within the original duke3d limits, and now with these new extended eduke32 limits you should have no problem,

[Mateos]

I wait for Hendricks's threads about his HRPs projects to propose some textures like snwo or sand.

I'm also working on The Gate HRP, but I'm really far to end it : I have to study modeling (Done), texturing (If you know good tutorial, in french if possible ^^), maphacks making (Will use links of NightFright from 3DRealms thread), and skyboxes (PiterPlus know how make them no ?).

[Sangman]

Well pmw I like how it looks. Of course, the brown road looks a bit weird because we're all used to seeing that grey road texture but I think it'll end up giving your map a nice, unique look - so I'd say keep them! (though to compensate you might want to make the building textures have a colour that contrasts more with the brown road.. a different sky texture could be in order as well, try something red?)

Attempting my very first model for DTA, the cars I'm using at the moment look nothing like there GTA 1 counter parts.


GTA 1 Taxi


My attempt so far, im no good at creating textures so I don't have decent looking sides/back/front.

[HellFire]

Just make them more blurry and it will fit well

lol, that could work. Plus they don't need to be highly detailed or anything as well.

[Sangman]

That's actually quite neat.

[Jimmy]

Just a heads up, Commander. (inb4 WIP) You haven't modeled the "TAXI" sign thing on top of the car. You probably already know, but whatever. Nice to see you modeling your own stuff so it fits better. Maybe you could model your own dashboards and stuff so the First Person driving looks better.

[Lord Misfit]

Useless NR crap I've recently been working on. >.>



Yay me. <.<

Just asking.

Seriously, do a con edit and use the HUB system and it will make your life a lot easier. You can then have multiple maps and make it seem to the player like a single map. My suggestion would be to do this with interiors: simply cut them out of your current map (although leave the main entrances/hallways), paste them into a new map. Then just transition between them. DeeperThought's example should show you how to build the transition.

Because of the way EDuke32 (and Duke in general) works, variables in the code have a specific sized array they can manage. They max out at a value of 16384. This can't be changed without recoding... well... everything. So it won't be done. Use HUBs.

Yup, i know bout the taxi sign. I was actually thinking about removing the first person view from cars altogether and making it go straight to third person when you get in a car. Though I will keep first person for one mission I was thinking of.

Its meant to be a 1988 Plymouth Caravelle. Just using that front as something temporary.

I've started work on a brand new gibs system for my mod. The old ones are redone from scratch, as well as some new ones. I just gotta figure out how to put it all together so it runs in game. While testing, I came upon the most awesome weapon in the world:
