[Sebastian]

How do you plan to use it in your mod?

its how you'll escape a base.
also if i make that city world map. it'll be your ride as you go from map to map.

[Danukem]

I guess what I really want to know is, why go to the trouble of ripping the skycar from Duke Plus when you could just use Duke Plus, and then we could add whatever is needed for your mod?

no, i did'nt make the hover car... but now that you mention it i did make the laser gun from star wars to replace the RPG. well, it's as close as i can get.

maybe i should make a death star as a map???

i was thinking that... but how would i inport my weapon designs? also my running speed is like cerent games (slower).
and my map will crash in DP+ at times (with a army of 1000 enemys). if i blow up a group of enemys the gore will spawn to meny spites.
now if only the con.file had a spite limit program into it?... but i like your idea anyways. as i mite just work aound the problem in DP+.

Adjusting running speed is not a problem. At the moment, Duke Plus overrides the USER.CON setting (because at one point I was frustrated with sync issues and I decided to force feed hardcoded values into gamestartup) but it won't do that in the next version.

I'm guessing you are blowing up a large number of enemies at once (using bombs from the skycar perhaps?). I can fix the too many sprites spawned crash without downgrading the jib system, so don't worry about that.

New weapon designs could be a problem, though. I can't say for sure without more information.

i was thinking of drawing my own player into the game. maybe we could design the guns into that. but, i did a kind of weard thing. but the results where perfict.

gamevar WEAPON1_SHOOTS SHOTGUN 1 <no more perfict hits with shotgun1.
gamevar WEAPON7_SHOOTS SHOTGUN 1 <2 mac10s at a wide burst.
gamevar WEAPON9_SHOOTS SHRINKER 1 <the spirte is made to look like the one from contra... well kinda.
gamevar WEAPON6_SHOOTS SHOTSPARK1 1 <works well as a 6 shooter named Sweatness. sense its slower, more power SHOTPARK1 shots
gamevar WEAPON11_SHOOTS SHOTGUN 1 <AK47..

gamevar WEAPON4_FIRESOUND PRED_ATTACK 1 <i made the firelaser powerful at the range of one hit kills...
gamevar WEAPON4_SHOOTS FIRELASER 1 <like starwars when a storm trooper gets hit (one hit kill).. but sadly like starwars, its easy to avode.

i also did things like make the pimp bombs into ice bombs that do no damage. but well freese all people for a moment within a range of about 4000.
but you can only carry one... so theres no cheaping out with in a battle. so its throw one take cover and take cover.

its all a work in progress...
PS: sorry for the large message.

Some people might remember this trailer

Imperium is an episode for dukeplus. It was dormant for a while, but we've decided to kick it back to life and finish it. Planned release: early 2010.

Some general information:
-it's an episode for dukeplus, also featuring a new weapon (which hasn't been included in the dukeplus code yet)
-it can be played with or without the HRP
-the level design is generally grand and epic: every level has huge, atmospheric locations and different combat situations. Unreal was a big source of inspiration. Also, it's worth noting that none of the levels will take place on Earth.
-there will be a progressive storyline

i was wondering how i mite borrow a pigcop's spaceship spite to make into a 2d ship for gameplay? i love the smooth fps and easy aiming in 2d mode.

[The Commander]

Spent some hours adding EDuke32 as it's own engine to Mod DB, currently at the time of this posting it's ranked 6th

http://www.moddb.com/engines/eduke32

Make sure to add it to your watch list if you are a member and to add nice Polymer render shots or any screen shots for that matter. Videos, Features, Tutorials and Downloads can also be added.

If you have an upcoming standalone mod (I'm not sure how to add mod's to it yet) that is using EDuke32 make sure to add the engine as EDUKE32 instead of Build.

The eventual goal of it is to gain as much spotlight as possible for EDuke32 and to entice new players to either blow the dust off there disk and reinstall it or download it from GOG.

Thank you for that I have corrected it now. But then that also means the one on http://www.eduke32.com/ is also wrong.

As that summary is basically just a copy and paste of the main page of eduke32.com

I see people have already started to add new downloads to the page etc (they won't show up for a day or so)
This is all very nice and "should" get eduke32 the number one ranked engine on moddb.com in no time. Or maybe I am just feeling to optimistic....

[supergoofy]

eduke32 cannot be number 1 ranked, till the major freeze bug is fixed. It's a really annoying bug and it happens at least to the half of the people that use eduke32 (and with different frequency of appearance).
I hope that TX and Plagman will find the time to deal with this bug.

[WedgeBob]

Hopefully EDuke32 will do better for me this time, as opposed to all that "crash and burn" hooplah that I encountered on my old build. I'm pretty sure that Windows 7 will do better with HRP and Polymer than Vista ever did. I'll keep tabs on how well it'll perform this time, and how far this would be able to go without hiccups.

EDIT: As far as what I got cookin' however, it's going to be a map that I am designing simultaneously for UT2004 and for Duke3D HRP/Polymer. It's called "High Octane." More details to follow. It'll be primarily DukeMatch for Duke3D, but I'll throw it in as a boss map for those of you who want to play solo. That'll make it pretty fun. For DukeMatch and for UT2004, it'll be a four-person Deathmatch/DukeMatch. I'm gonna have to finalize all the drafts before digging ground, but it looks great on paper.

EDIT #2: I was able to find the original version of this map from 12 years ago when I was doing this for Duke 3D Atomic...looks mighty crummy now, but I think I know how to update it towards today's gameplay:
http://img525.images.../2555/imgsz.jpg

Hard to believe that I did this way back in high school, sketching this in study hall with what time I had left after doing some homework, but hey...it worked out.

[NerdZilla]

I'm making more dynamic landscape parts, like i said. thats will start looking alot less plan vary soon...
also, i remeber someone saying water you can go under... and thats a plan in the works,thanks to DukePlus.

[Mark]

Being my first map, Ancient Rome's progress is slow but its still progressing. Re-working it for Polymer is adding to the time but is also making it look really cool. Here are a couple of screen shots of an underground area I just added this evening. The green slime and flickering flames are a sight to behold.

EDIT: I was looking at the screen shots and realised I wasn't happy with the texture for the low walls by the floor. I'm trying out the different textures that have the bump mapping or whatever its called. It seems that some of them,in my opinion, are a little too exaggerated but I'm sure I'll find one I like. I added a 3rd pic using one of them.

[Geoffrey]

Finally, bumpmaps (or whatever the correct term is) in a usermap! It's essential to get the whole polymer experience displayed properly. Because of that I don't even care if they're exaggerated or not, I love the shots

[NerdZilla]

Id have to agree, bump mapping is easyer to run and makes a big diferants.

[Mark]

Here are 2 more showing some good texture depth.

[WedgeBob]

Oh yeah...I agree with bumpmapping in all this. Wonder if this could be applied to old DukeMatch maps from at least a decade ago (maybe 1997 or 1998 maps). Trying to restore a few maps from the old DOS/Win 95/98 days to more recent gameplay.
I'm still searching around for maps I've made from those days that I felt may have potential to be brought back from Duke's glory days, can't really find any 199x dates anywhere.

What were they called?

[WedgeBob]

Whew...I'm vaguely trying to remember, because it HAS been that long. I'm gonna have to find out which FTP sites go back that far...easier said than done.
I know that it was back during the mapping/modding boom of Duke 3D, and a lot of people were very active in Build back then, and trying to find my good ones...whew.

EDIT: I ran into the Sunet FTP, but it seems like that's having trouble connecting for some strange reason...did they take the FTP down or something? That was one of my only hopes of finding anything really from those days.
Even if I don't find where those maps were from way back when, I'll try looking for more sketches of Duke maps I made like the one I posted earlier, there WERE better that I made from the old days. High Octane was rather bland back then, I do remember that.
If I could find some of my better maps from then, I would definitely restore those instead, but until I find them, this seems like one of the only maps from those days I can go by.

[WedgeBob]

Well, here's a map from more recent days, it kinda based off of UT2004 influence:
http://dukerepository.com/maps/Duke_Nukem:...ournament_Arena

However, I remember that I was doing maps for both Shadow Warrior and Duke 3D way back when, and I was doing a full episode called "New York Rumble" that replaced LA Meltdown, but I don't even know where that went.
I may probably do something with this one, now that I see it, update it with HRP and Polymer, and the map above will definitely blow UT2004 out of the water, literally.

[WedgeBob]

All right...thanks. I'll weed out the maps later. However, for a native eDuke32 "from scratch" map would probably be Wolf3D HRP, if that's already being done. It would, however, take place in Duke's environment, instead of escaping from Castle Wolfenstein like B.J. would, Duke would be escaping from an alien prison compound, and heading for an escape shuttle on the way home back to Earth. That may be a good mock-up. Yeah, may start work on something like that. I'm sure alien prison compound ideas were thought up before me, no big surprise, but none that'll take well to HRP and Polymer, and have a more realistic look to it. I'll lay ground soon enough.
