Downloaded latest HRP,
I'm sure some more modern feature of HRP will come in the future with more fluidistic movements etc for shotgun animation etc.

The L.A.R.D were former pigcops of LA.
Some unknown event happened and they became "more evil" than normal pigcops.
Similar to Event Horizon event.
Extreme sadism, cannibalism, sadomasochism, torture etc.
And they gouged their own eyes out and more.

Must be really hard to program that.
Freaken cool SUV things.

This would be awesome to use in Atomic Crisis! It would be nice to have this roaming the streets of NYC.

I thought that a big sprite like that would look bad in game, but I was wrong; it looks very convincing!

Does it use locators to move like the recon vehicle?

Yes, it has its own type of sprite similar to locators. You could actually have PIGSUV and RECON in the same map.

The size of the sprites does make it more challenging, but there are some tricks and things to keep in mind. First, the angle must be under careful control at all times. If it looks jittery then the illusion is spoiled. So no hardcoded seekplayer stuff, or allowing it to instantly face what is shooting at it, and so on. Second, the smoke sprites when the tires skid and sound effects connect it to the rest of the world so it doesn't seem like it's just floating -- also distracts from the fact that the tires don't animate. Third, by making it move fast, the player doesn't get an opportunity to walk around it and see the abrupt sprite angle transitions; but those abrupt transitions seem fine when it is speeding past.

The sprite sheet had a huge number of tiles, mainly because it had the pigcop in the sun roof facing every possible angle and shooting in every possible angle -- and it had all of those angles for each angle the SUV could be facing, and more. There were about 155 tiles in it! I ended up using only 16 for the SUV, plus a few of the debris tiles (license plate and wheel so far). Making the pigcop constantly face towards the player whenever he pokes his head out made life much easier.

You used 16 of the original 155?

Is the pig cop on top a seperate sprite then?

No, that would be glitchy.

5 angles of the SUV with all pigcops inside (using view mode 5, not 8, because the car has bilateral symmetry)
5 angles of the SUV with a pigcop on the roof and facing the player, not shooting
5 angles of the SUV with a pigcop on the roof and facing the player, shooting
The destroyed SUV

I'm not counting the license plates, wheel, etc

Working on another new enemy.
Sand liztroops
They're like sand and we can see through em.

Their attacks are like the normal one but they have special abilities (will be a surprise when played).

Just wanted to say that I started to work on a new map today, a small cozy moonbase.
I'd say kinda missed the whole tileset, since I didn't make regular Duke3D map in quite a long time.

Looks very good, although given your track record, maybe wait more than one day before announcing something

[Seb Luca]

The chairs are a bit long. But apart from that, it's good work

Thanks. I know that I had numerous closed projects. Howerer, with this map I made about 40% of what I planned already! Seriously, I'd never enjoyed mapping that much ever since Winterfall was released. When you jump right into mapster the minute you got home that certainly means something, right?

@Seb Luca thanks, I'll fix it!

Working on unarmed Duke sprites.

Duke is standing by for an bare-handed fighting?
Nice withdrawal of the jetpack!

[OpenMaw]

Revised the rotation a little bit.

Second row are some custom edits of Duke sitting on his lazy boy.

I was cleaning up one of my backup thumb drives and found some pics of the second map for last year's Quest Town TC. I plan on finishing and adding in this map sometime this year. These are pics of just a few outdoor locations. There are plenty of indoor areas too.

Ho-lee shiiit. Good lord, man. I can't even believe that's the same engine! The top left one gives me an Unreal vibe. Very nice, indeed.

Really nice! Those arms remind me of the Cyberdemon. Big bulky rocket cannons.

Now that is one huge Sentry Drone!

New lighting in the classic renderer. No sprite or texture tricks here.
