Looks like playing as Zaxtor on this map will almost feel as if you were playing Oblivion, actualy that would be a kickass mod idea >> porting Zaxtor's AMC HUD and weapons into Oblivion 3D as toggleable like in Duke Plus or as a definite replacement for those who would like to.

Spoiler

I did actually do that a while ago, but it was lost on my old PC. I'll see about getting that done again hopefully

Zaxtor: looks good! just remember the TC is intended for classic mode so make sure the TROR works alright in it

TROR works well.

I did a fun test.
In polymost mode some part of the main door does HOM but in classic mode the HOM is gone.

New milestone; SVN is now at 1500 revisions

[TheDragonLiner]

Jblade, Oh that would be a blast ^^


What does HOM mean ?
I keep discovering new acronyms.

[Micky C]

Hall of Mirrors. It's a rendering glitch that happens under certain circumstances where nothing is drawn to the screen so it contains an echo of what was previously shown in that space.

[TheDragonLiner]

Ah yes I see, I witnessed such glitches when using dnclip at times, and some mirrors tend to have a similar glitch like in E2L6, thanks for the info ^^

More shots of the Jungle Base (inside the base)

Why there are a few "png" stuff in AMC mod when I thought is classic mode.
I noticed some HRP stuff.

[Micky C]

I don't think there's any HRP stuff in the TC. Sure a few tiles have a relatively high resolution if that's what you mean.

[Jblade]

Apart from a few converted tiles to additive there's no HRP support in the pack - the tiles are merely backups for some of the additive sprites so polymost isn't completely unplayable but it definitely is intended for classic mode. Others are imported in as they're too large to fit in the art tiles.

[Zaxtor]

The cool core I did works fine in classic mode but in polymost mode it get hommy.

[Micky C]

Yeah we'll try and support the TC in openGL as much as we can, but realistically some of the levels will be unplayable in anything but classic.

I don't know if this question has been answered before, but I've been using the search function and haven't been able to find anything related to it, so... What's the console code to summon a Nail Gun (the temporary weapon)?

[Jblade]

spawn NAILGUN_SPRITE

[TheDragonLiner]

This question has been answered but a long time ago ....

Gives the occasion to ask a new (I guess) question : Will the temporary Nail-Gun appear in the AMC armory ? Because it's actualy the ONLY gun not to appear in it :/
And BTW after analysing the architecture of that room it appears that there is room for 4 new guns in the central part of it which leads me to ask : Was that because you had thoughts for a few more temporary weapons but couldn't get them to work or was it just some sort of aesthetic trick ?

[Jblade]

The nailgun is in the armoury, but the armoury was intended to just be a little test bed for weapons so in the newer versions the weapon is removed when you exit the area. As for the space for weapons, it was made bigger to make room for the future episodes and their weapons

[Zaxtor]

More screenshots of the Jungle base level.

[Micky C]

What's the story with the map? You're mixing a lot of different independent factions there. They must have a good reason for cooperating.

[Zaxtor]

In the base they are experimenting with zombies.


The aliens are doing all sort of things.

I don't know if this has been reported before, but I've found a bug in Rusty's "semi-auto acc." upgrade for his revolvers. It turns out that his revolvers are already semi-auto when you start a new map and are downgraded to "manual" (you have to click for every shot) if you buy their upgrade.

Also, last night I was playing the "Mega Plaza" map in "The Classic Collection" and, while I was crouching, trying to pull a lever to open the safe room in the bank section of the level, the legs of a... "prostitute" (those girls with a bag hanging from their shoulders and moving a foot slowly, heh ) got caughted in the middle and I "rescued" her (removed her from the level, anyway). Is this supposed to work this way? I mean, if you press the "action" button in front of them while standing on your feet, you give them a buck. If you do the same but crouching, you rescue them. It makes no sense, lol.

All in all, I'm interested in knowing if this "rescue" count for the award, and if they can drop a random item when rescued (I tried with three or so and none dropped anything).

Anyway, I'm REALLY looking forward for EP2, I love this TC. Keep up the good work!

Heh, this is a 'secret' way to save civies in case they're in the line of fire or in danger of an explosion

[TheDragonLiner]

The thing with Rusty's revovler being semi-auto from the start has been misunderstood ^_-

When you don't have the upgrade : no matter the fact you hold click or not you will always fire at the same speed
When you have the upgrade : you can no longer hold click but you can fire as fast as you click AKA potentially faster than without the upgrade


So NO it's not a downgrade or a bug -_^

[Zaxtor]

Last loads for the level

Now at 1791 sectors, over 11200 lines, 4033 sprites and 39 TROR.. Very big base.

[Jblade]

excellent, looking forward to playing the finished product and putting it into the episode

[Micky C]

Good news, I did some quick calculations and the episode should take more than 4 hours to play through

[TheDragonLiner]

For a newcomer or an experienced player ?

[Jblade]

you'll find out in about a fortnight so Micky stop teasing people about it

[Zaxtor]

Level should be finish anytime.

All is left is making the exit and the switch to "renabled" the doors.

I made a freaken beautiful room where we see the exterior of the base (through windows).
Nice pretty complicated TROR

I'll be the judge of that
