Three new voxels added to GitHub: Sushi Plate (698), Tree1 (908) and Tree2 (910).
Since it's been a while that we had a new voxel pack build, I have compiled v1.3 pre3 for convenient usage.

Thanks again to Borion for his high productivity that made this new version possible!

Hydroplant (969) & Brokehydroplant (1003)

I think the dominant problem with voxel plants is that leaves can't be flat like their 2D counterpart. Unfortunately, this is due to the voxel size (intended as a point in space).

All in all this is excellent work. Once finished it will be autoloaded by default along with the upcoming smooth HUD artwork.

This is probably the most used object that is not in the official maps. Congrats and thank you!

[NightFright]

GitHub updated. It's all in there, including an updated E3L4 maphack for the scale.

meter2 (0919)

[NightFright]

Added to GitHub.

@Borion
really nice work.
could u do the broken firehydrant and fire-alarm directly seen on e1m1 as well?

Sure!

Are you planning to make voxels for Duke Caribbean addon?

[NightFright]

Fire alarm (#917) and broken hydrant (#950) added to GitHub.
(I spelled it correctly since voxel for #981 was also named "hydrant", but those are details, anyway.)

I was thinking about making all pickups for this add-on. It has nice & funny aesthetics.

Brokenfirehydrent (0950) & fire alarm (0917) - by the way misspelled "hydrent" is some kind of joke or just a typo?


EDIT:
Mystery of typo solved

[OpenMaw]

These voxels are just... MMmph. So gewd.

[skitey]

@Borion
wow, nice, PERFECT thx for this.

and yes...vacation voxels would be really much fun (just the new weapons to voxels would be enough for me)

@Nightfright
is it normal that the camera is a bit off when turning (screenshots) or it is gdx releated because it seems there is no support for maphacks?

Scale (678)

The scale isn't centered (patch attached).

However, Duke couldn't use it anyway due to the size of his mighty feet. I recommend adding some depth and turn the platform into a square.

That camera isn't maphacked. Must be a BuildGDX issue.

Y axis - small weight on left is sticking out of the object. So to have centered pivot point, it needs to be offset accordingly.
Please take a look here:

I did same thing for i.e. ketchup & mustard dispensers. And before someone say it might cause trouble, there is no game logic behind this object & it never appears as wall aligned sprite.
I would keep Y offset as it was, but this is open for discussion <sharpens knife energetically>

About platform size, reason was to keep proportions faithful to such old mechanical scales. Nurse in my primary school was checking weight & height on regular basis with exactly this type of scale (this black vertical thing in the center is adjustable height meter if anyone wonders). This thing was build like a tank, they don't build things like this anymore...
I agree that it might be better if its bigger (platform), but I would go as far as to make sure Duke boot fits, hahahah
As always, thanks for valuable input man! I will enlarge platform a little bit and upload it later.

corrected typos & brainfarts

The voxels are swapped. 607 is the one with the light turned on. And it's sticking into the ground. 16 units up is required. Patch attached.

On my test map antena is "acting" fine. Also NightFright corrected maphack for this object in campaign. What could be wrong?
EDIT: will look into that tomorrow, l assume I screwed that up

Swapped frames - stupid conversion mistake, thx for finding this Leo!

[NightFright]

Should I use Leo's versions of the scale and antenna for a GitHub update or will there be "official" remasters?

There will be v2 scale, for antena please use Leo's corrections, Nightfright. Thanks!

[NightFright]

Fixes for antenna and scale now on GitHub. I assume nothing changed about angles, so the edited maphacks can stay.

Borion, do you plan to make voxels for the N64 pickups?

Yes, Phredreeke. They tempt me since I played N64 version for the first time last year.

But first I want to finish most jarring omissions in VP (box of donuts, broom, mop, chair3, firevase...etc.). I'm getting there.
