I've almost finished the layout of Pravoka for my 8bit Deathmatch mod. I'm going to wait on making any new textures. Diema (from Discord) might make me a more compatible "8bit" color palette. So, I'm just finishing the layout of the town for now.


Also to Truck Stop Santa Claus. Thank you. I just finished fine-tuning those textures. Here's a picture.


PS : I've been reading the other posts. I might check out that program that was mentioned. I'm using an old Photoshop I've had since Windows XP. So anything new helps. As the new Photoshop is a bit too pricey for me.

To Dandouglas. Your mod is looking awesome. All the work you've put into it, is amazing. Do keep it up! I'm looking forward to playing it sometime.

As for me. I just finish making that huge island map and the glitch from a distance is gone. Also, I might have figured out why it that was happening.

Finally, I know my map isn't as cool as Dandouglas's mod. But I'm thankful for all the support that has lead up to this finished map. Thanks everyone.

@Graphics: the island looks really cool, although I believe the drivers hate the road in the front of the picture with all these bumps

@jimbob: Do these tanks have a nuke symbol at the rear end for some cheap auto-destruct activation?

Here's few more beige and grey pics from me:

having some kind of easy destruction method is something i could add, maybe in the shape of mines... something to think about

i like those shots, its a nice and tight design

I've been testing out my new color palette design. But I feel like I've posted a lot on the eDuke page on Discord. So rather then post on that... I'm just going to show an update to my mod I'm working on.

Looking forward to playing some multiplayer sometime. Also I want to publicly say thank you too the everyone that helped me out with the new color palette. I've been having a lot of fun learning. It's much appreciated.

The level I'm working on is Launch Facility, a remake of the original secret level. The idea has been in my head since the release of Black Mesa, but due to lack of skill and time, it was postponed until this summer.

I decided to start with E1L6, as it seemed to be the smallest in size and less pop for remakes (Hollywood Holocaust was remade a lot of times). As for the size, I was wrong: there are few large spaces, but they are complex, have an unusual structure, and have a complex scripting system. My task is to rework not only the visual but also, if possible, improve the scripted scenes. True room over room requires clear planning and leaves no chance for error.

At the moment, about 95% is ready, it remains to complete work on the largest location. The release is tentatively scheduled for November.

i really like it

Nothing but cool shit all around on this last page, 'dame' as the classic AMC spelling would have it. Exciting times all around, Launch Facility remix sounds especially great,

It's crunch time but I've been working on this new map for Project A.W.O.L. for the past week and experimenting with a concept I had had in mind for a bit, although not much of a stretch from classic works like Flood Zone I guess.

I've finished making the color palettes for my mod. The colors are looking great. Just need a shade table before I can post the update on ModDB.

Here's some pictures of how everything is looking so far.




By the way. If anyone can help me make a shade table or point me to a program and how to page. That would be well appreciated.

I agree! So much cool stuff being worked on
Your concept looks wicked as well, I'm guessing it's a city that's half in/above the clouds? That's a pretty cool twist on the flood zone concept.

HOLY. SHIT. @ Shaky Grounds trailer.
(Well, okay, there's other awesome stuff that people are working on, but especially that.)

As for me...well...I'm working on a map based on a certain race course from the Mario Kart 64 reject bin.

Screen #1 is a zoomed-out 2D overview in Mapster.
Screen #2 is the same map, but spun around using the F3 feature in Mapster's 2D view.
Screen #3 is atop the building roofs in the northwest corner of the map, looking southeast. (That big dish/receiver thing in the distance can also be seen in some other screenshots here.)
Screen #4 is where the start-finish line was in the Mario Kart 64 course, looking southeast.
Screen #5 is also at the start-finish line, looking northwest.
Screen #6 shows a restaurant west of the center of the map. (This would be a Duke Burger, but there are too many Duke Burger locations in maps already, so I decided to name it something else instead.)
Screen #7 shows a church south of the center of the map (and some buildings nearby, including the one with the big dish).
Screen #8 shows the interior of the church.
Screen #9 shows a view from atop the hill (above the tunnel in the southwest part of the map) looking northeast.
All of the above use the classic renderer in Mapster (with the visibility cranked up).
Screen #10 shows the same view as #9, but in Polymer; the draw distance in Polymer prevents distant structures from being visible here.
Screen #11 shows a view along a road on the south side of the map, looking west into the tunnel. (The tunnel actually curves right, but the rest of the tunnel is cut off by the Polymer draw distance.)
Screen #12 shows a Polymost closeup view of the church organ (literally the only thing in the whole map that looks good in Polymost).

Anyway...I tried to rescale the map so that certain dimensions (widths of roads, heights of one-story buildings) made sense, but it's still butt-fucking huge and I don't know if/when it will ever be finished; I'm hoping to put at least something in every single building (even if it's just one big room inside) but I don't know if it will work out that way due to map resources (especially walls).

Yeah but I mean how did you do that?

Some more work-in-progress shots, featuring some sprite-based benches i'm really happy with.

Yeah you guessed right, even as far as the clouds (didn't expect that!). Skybox effect in general should be a lot more interesting than that seemingly empty texture from the classic mode editor shots too. Reaper_Man has been working some magic.

ToiletDuck64 I absolutely adore your selection of Duke 3D level themes. I've had it in the back of my mind to see how much I could recreate of the Super Mario 64 main castle and stages within one same Duke map before. Of course there would be differences due to the nature of the engine but that's actually what would interest me there, maybe I'll try tackling that some day.

Also loving that sunset effect. My first impression upon seeing the shot was, he must have used the orange sunset texture as parallaxed ground floor on the same boundary sectors he's using the black sky on to enclose the map. But looking at it now, it may be 'just' a flat wall with that texture and full bright conditions. I'm curious too! I've tried this kind of mismatch before but could never make it look right.

[Mark]

Its a refreshing change to see such a bright and cheerful daytime map.

Just a simple TROR trick.

Haha, I'd probably have spent twice the walls and quadruple the sprites - this is an excellent showing of "less is more" to achieve a real neat piece of Build construction. Nice work on its shape and clean texturing, I really do love it's elegance!

[Graphics]

Dandouglas, I love your work. As for the tank. I mention on Discord how awesome it is. Because it is awesome.

As for me... I've just been testing the waters with my new palette. Honestly, no word of a lie.
Here's a picture of my test the waters with this new texture and some prebaked lighting FXs.

By the way. I hope everyone is doing well. Glad to see the great work on this page.

PS: To ToiletDuck64. The map you're working on looks amazing. Will it be compatible with multiplayer?

[dandouglas]

Cheers Graphics, and likewise - that blue VR texture is beautiful.

Here's some more WIP shots from my project, still just getting to grips with Mapster32 and I've got loads of detail, shadows and shading to add.

The sightseeing bus is pretty blocky but that's because it trundles through the level as Duke fights off waves of flying enemies and snipers at windows

i really like that style dan cant wait to play it. i could use a few good mappers to speed up my project

[Graphics]

Thank you Dandouglas. Yeah I did it with an adaptive Color Palette I've made.

Too Jimbob. If you're looking for a mapper and know how to edit Con files?
Maybe we can help one another out? I'm sure I could think up a map for you.

Quick update to the water effects. I added some lighting to the surface of it.

So far this is shaping up to be a better take on London than what WT gave us.
