As I wrote on Discord server, this model is good enough. My main complaint is that you literally voxelized angled sprite with some perspective parts. It might look a bit odd from specific angles, but in the long run, it's good enough.

[NightFright]

The guy looks a bit squished. But well, maybe that's how he died, right? We were never able to tell with the sprite, now this mystery has finally been solved!

@NightFright
According to the github, the latest voxel by brullov hasn't been added. Why?

[NightFright]

Nobody made a pull request for it. Also I was under the impression it wasn't final yet.

[brullov]

It is finished, I have no ideas how to improve it unless you want to remake it.

I didn't know how to pull a request, so I attached the kvx file.

[NightFright]

I will try to integrate it tomorrow, but these days I have little time besides work.

[NightFright]

Monk (#1352) added. Please remember to always provide definitions with your voxels, especially if you are not committing them directly on Github.

[NightFright]

Btw, I am still trying to have some sort of autoload in EDuke32/Rednukem for the addons. I had read somewhere you could use duke3d_1.def (DukeDC), duke3d_2.def (NWinter) or duke3d_3.def (Caribbean) to load addon-specific defs, but it appears EDuke32 is ignoring this.

Did I misunderstand something there? IIRC Megaton was using that system and I thought EDuke32 had adopted it in the meantime. Alternatively, I could imagine having specific autoload folders like in Raze (e.g. autoload.nwinter, autoload.vacation, autoload.dukedc), but I dunno if that requires undesired hardcoding.

thx for the latest additions

[NightFright]

Github has been updated with latest additions.

Hmm... has anyone here had a problem with having Vaca voxels when loading basic Duke? This guy in the comments section has such issue.

https://www.moddb.co...20-rc2/#8706798

[NightFright]

Normally that shouldn't happen. Vacation voxels currently only load if you uncomment the proper line in the def file. As can be seen here: https://github.com/N...ke3d_voxels.def

He must be including vacation.def somehow, otherwise this wouldn't happen. Addon content is clearly separated from the rest. It doesn't load by itself.

While we are at it: Since EDuke32 still doesn't have any sort of lump filtering like e.g. GZDoom, maybe it'd be better for the average user to isolate Vacation voxels into a separate pack which you would only load on top of the regular pack on demand. Or: A mini addon which only has the def file inside that loads Vacation stuff as well and tell users to load that after the VP. Then at least nobody would have to edit anything.

[Phredreeke]

I had a system set up to load specific def based on the addon using grpinfo files. I shared it with Dzierzan and from my recollection he used it for the Duke HQ sound pack

[NightFright]

I guess it would be something. We should try to keep usage as easy as possible, so if a single-file solution can be maintained, it'd be prefferable. Raze can also load different defs based on grp file. Also a solution, but would have to be provided by the port.

[NightFright]

I just realized we are still missing two pickups: The Incinerator and its ammo from World Tour (#5134, #5135-5137).

All sprites are heavily based on the Freezer counterparts. Mostly identical, just with a red palette (weapon has that heat meter attached to it which the Freezer doesn't):


Does anyone feel up to the task of creating these?

A nice bonus would also be health item voxels (#51-53) with WT skins (the infamous pill symbol), just for completionist purposes.


[Side note: A test run with placeholders consisting of Freezer voxel copies revealed that the Incinerator ammo is flickering when using the rotation script, as if there was one frame undefined. However, I made sure that wasn't the case:

voxel "voxels/pickups/0024_freezer.kvx" { tile 5134 }

animtilerange 5135 5137 2 2
voxel "voxels/pickups/0037_freezerammo1.kvx" { tile 5135 }
voxel "voxels/pickups/0038_freezerammo2.kvx" { tile 5136 }
voxel "voxels/pickups/0039_freezerammo3.kvx" { tile 5137 }

Maybe this needs to be investigated once we have proper voxels to try it with.]

fgsfds has made resprites for 20th Anniv stuff? I did not know this existed.

Edit: Corrected century to anniv. Look I'm tired ok.

Got it from HERE

In fact, there is already voxel models for the Incinerator and ammo, THIS MOD has them, problem is the Incinerator pickup voxel is very basic and based on the original sprite. Ammo is pretty fine though.

[NightFright]

That's a great find! Thanks!
I've added those voxels to the pack on Github now. MarioJCH has been credited for the weapon, Fox for the ammo (hope that's accurate).

In other news:
I have requested to add the ifcrc flag from tilefromtexture to voxel definitions. Voxels from addons could then be loaded automatically, without having to edit definitions any more. Once that feature is available, it's time for another release candidate, I guess. Might as well be the final one.

Just discovered this other Duke3D voxel pack:
https://www.dsogamin...-retro-amazing/
And it's got the enemies too!

[NightFright]

That guy is crazy. He already voxelized Blood and Doom enemies. Why he's redoing all the items as well is beyond me, though. Ours are pretty good and tbh I don't see a huge leap in quality. Be it as it may, he seems to have a lot of time for this, which is good. Increases the chances it'll eventually get finished. Might be the only chance we'll ever get a full enemy lineup.

[0815Jack]

I've been following Chello for some time now and his stuff is really amazing. I really hope that he isn't underestimating the amount of work for his duke voxel pack. Compared to Doom there are > 20x things more to be voxelized.

Someone already asked on twitter if he might join here, but he said he will do his own pack, which means even redoing things like the huge radar dish. He was heavily inspired but the contributors on here.

You can watch the voxel creations on his youtube channel. Members of his patroen get a monthly preview build of his duke voxel pack

I'm not sure about where that voxel pack leads to. Voxelizing everything including all the enemies may increase the loading time and impact framerates considerably. The modding community might end up using both voxel packs or incorporating some of Cheello's voxels into their projects mixed with community voxels. Judging from the showcase videos, it basically goes in the same art direction as this voxel pack, but some items have better geometry (like ammo packs), while other voxels have sloppier overpaint than ones done by other artists in this thread. I suppose he's redoing everything for more Patreon support, since he wouldn't get much from that project if he reused the community voxels in his pack.

Well I have a test map originally created for the HRP to test all the 3D stuff. On my system I only notice a slowdown loading the HRP stuff, but not the current nearly complete voxel pack. I don't know which voxel are sloppier compared to here. but mabye you should tell him. He isn't relucactant to edit already finished stuff....

Chello is a gem.
