The reason is very simple, Build Engine cannot render render wall or floor alligned sprites as voxels. This sucks but that's Build for ya.

Wall oriented sprites actually do appear as voxels, only floor aligned don't. Although the perfect solution would be some possibility to decide whether or not a particular sprite should appear as a voxel (e.g. I had to cut a lot of wall-aligned sprites used for shading in Submachine voxel version because they would appear as black transluscent voxels half-submerged in the walls ).

[Dzierzan]

Sorry, I meant floor and ceiling. Walls are fine.

[0815Jack]

ok thx for the explanation...

can this be fixed in the future or is it a design restriction of the build engine?

[William Beavis]

It never ceases to amaze me what voxels can bring to the Build engine.

So I was trying out the Duke Nukem 3D Fixes mod on a Raze clean install + the voxel mod (prepping up the future perfect loadout) when I came across this naughty little voxel on Alien World Order, level 1:





This is not the first time I have seen some weird ass stuff going on in Raze and the voxel pack. Another example is this picture, where you can see the outline of the switch in the telephone.




Also, I know we all hate Nuclear winter however this looks like prime voxel material:

Now we just need content filters in EDuke32 for addons. You can't have users fiddle around with defs just to get some bonus voxels working. But if you have problems with Raze, you better head over to the ZDoom forums.

[Dzierzan]

Some kind of generator... Looks like a remnant from Lame Duke. According to GViewer it's unused. Maybe usermaps use that prop.



And view from the bottom if anyone wonders:

So this mean in the future we can play addons without issues? For example when I run Acropolis I encounter several graphical glitches when using voxels

[NightFright]

No, it doesn't mean that. I was only referring to official addons, not custom-made ones. I dunno which "glitches" you are talking about, but most likely that would be stuff you need to fix with maphacks for each addon individually. A behemoth task, to say the least. Also, addons like Acropolis have modified sprites, so you would need new voxels as well. You should only use the voxel pack with original content or addons that don't modify tiles. Otherwise your gameplay experience will be affected since modified art is (most likely) overridden.

Generator (#620) now on Github.

[0815Jack]

I was going thru my test map and it really looks like that about 90% is done by now

The remaining bigger ones:

- 1088 REACTOR (Can this be done with all the lightning?)
- 4570 DUKE BURGER
- 516 SATELITE
- 2491 DUKECAR
- 1352 MONK
- 1354 LUKE
- 4590 SNAKEP
- 1355 INDY
- 1356/1357 terminator
- 927 traffic light
- 4427 HOTMEAT

and of course the all the babes.....

[Dzierzan]

1088 is doable, every sprite is doable. It all matters how good you are. Although I remember that one has baked in lightning effect... Maybe something can be done about it.

Anyway, this is my current to do list. Some props I gave Borion as I know he started working on another camera and smaller satellite dish. It is also planned to go back and redo some old voxels, like a road cone.

That share requires access. Can you upload it somewhere else maybe?

Great! Added to Github now.

[0815Jack]

Does anyone knows where the traffic light is used... grp viewer stopped working for me...

[Dzierzan]

@DJP

Great model, everything here is really good. Although I can see that you totally changed the pole's color, it actually doesn't hurt it at all.

And you could have just zipped KVX model and upload it here as an attachment. Just for the future .

I believe it's unused in vanilla Duke.

you might be right.... but there is a 3D model for it in the HRP .. so it might be used for user maps ...

Voxel #4463 added on Github.

Great usage of the full bright purples.

[Danukem]

Do voxels exist for the Duke 64 weapons? I'm genuinely wondering if they were done already and I missed it.

https://dukenukem.fa...n_Duke_Nukem_64

[Dzierzan]

Yes, I created most of them. Go a few pages back.

[NightFright]

Has anybody experienced this issue with a spinning mic voxel? I tested with E3L1 and most recent EDuke32 snapshot didn't see anything wrong.

When I load the pictured area in E3L1, the mike voxel is perfectly still. Doesn't matter where I move or how long I wait. Possibly there is a specific eduke32 revision where it rotates, but the report doesn't say anything about what revision they are using.

[NightFright]

Same here. Well, I am asking the guy for specifics now, but my guess is he's either using an older EDuke32 version or not even EDuke32 at all. Raze also supports that EDuke32-style HUD.

I have the mic issue only with raze....

[Danukem]

It's a raze bug, then. I'm guessing it would happen to any sprite put on that sector, but it's only noticeable with a 3D object.
