I'm really looking forward to any type of horror game. The only one I've played in last 5 years at least is Clive Barker's UNDYING. No Resident Evils or sSilent Hills or zombie games. So I'm ready to be spooked.

[zykov eddy]

I have a problem. Here's a little pool with transparent TROR water:



The enemy (I used a tree sprite for the Slender man, don't wanna spoil his look) gets stuck under the water for some reason. He just can't escape this place and can't even attack the player (He does it if only can see the player, and the player can see him).

How can I fix it?

[Daedolon]

Well it looks like he can't see you since he's in a different area, a common issue that Blood has with ROR as well. I don't know how TROR in EDuke32 affects hitscans but that's probably something you should look into.

[The Commander]

Can you not just use transparent sprites for the water, it is as Daedolon says.

I used them previously, and they were too buggy due to a big amount of sprites on the level.

[Daedolon]

You could probably have checkpoints in the maps and teleport him to the closest one to the player if he gets stuck.

[High Treason]

I have the same kind of problem but it's on a flight of stairs. My solution was to use a "teleporter" (only works for the AI) for the last step, but I can see why this would be impractical for your lake.

I suppose you could invent a way (fallen tree or something) to make only one side of the lake accessible, but that still doesn't get around the jumpy movement this causes to occur.

Well yeah but having him stuck in the water before teleporting away could be kind of immersion breaking.

[OpenMaw]

Personally? Just set it so he can't go into water sections at all.


Yeah, the player is "safe" in the water, but... he's not exactly progressing either. It's not exactly like it would break immersion. We've never seen Slendie in the water anyway.

Besides, it' be freaky to see him standing at the edge of the lake as you're swimming in it.

[Gambini]

The question is: What´s the point of that translucent water? It´s not even noticeable. And from a realistic standpoint, small banks of water like that usually are too dirt to make what´s sunk inside visible. I´d just use regular water with no underwater section, so your enemy doesn´t get stuck.

[Mark]

Does the TROR underwater sector have a flat bottom all around or does it slope up towards the outer edge ? If its flat, maybe sloping it up will better allow the Slender Man to climb out? I doubt its the problem but its worth a try. Or could it have something to do with the player or enemies coded to automatically sink down slightly in water sectors? I seem to recall you can set some bit somewhere to disable that. Not sure.

[Mblackwell]

Since it's not something the player can dive under, why not make it a regular floor rather than a water sector? You can simulate the effects of water in your code. The other thing you could do is (if you would not like to code all that nonsense) is check that the z height never drops below a certain value (basically stop the actor from falling) as long as it's in water.

[Simon_Croes]

I shouldn't make it transparent at all. It's a dark surrounding and all you got is a flashlight. If there is something like a water pool in the woods, the water should be like unclear, unfresh. It's awesome if you could do all those little effects but sometimes the classic effect is better in some ways

I didn't mean you'd teleport him out when the player sees him.

Sound like a plan, I'll try it.

[The Commander]

That guy who does them slender videos is really annoying. Is he trying to put some accent on?

I find him funny for the most part, but he does annoys me sometimes.
He is swedish.

[The Commander]

Yeah when I first herd of sleender and was trying to find videos of it his were the only ones coming up. His commentery really ruins the mood of the gameplay.

[OpenMaw]

Rage Quit's little playthrough is the best. Two people playing for the price of one!







...and lastly, our resident phreakindee.

What a boss. Seriously, how the FUCK do you not get scared even a little bit?


Jesus.

[Daedolon]

He has a beard.

ot.

I gotta agree with what he said, Amnesia is way scarier than this because the atmosphere is just that much more immersive. "Unanimated model guy follows you and then static" isn't really scary to me either.

[rasmus thorup]

To me, slenderman is scary when you see just a glimpse of him for a very short moment. Amnesia didn't seem that scary to me. Only in the beginning.

[Come On And Slam]

Slender scared the hell out of me the first time I played it, but the second time and onwards to today, I just rage when I play it because of how hard it is to beat. I mean, seriously, it's impossible after 6 notes!

By the way, I'm excited for this mod!

[zykov eddy]

Hello guys. Here's a little gameplay footage - just for you. 480p highly recommended.
Sorry for not showing the story mode, it's not ready yet.

[Gambini]

I really like what are you doing. In terms of visuals, that´s it.

[DN4ever]

Is that the final "death" scene? I like how you've incorporated the tentacles into this unlike in the original game. Makes him scarier.

This is probably the final version of the screen. I can make the sequence more complicated, though.
Glad it looks scary to you. The picture is made by my friend.

[The Commander]

Maybe some more scarier ambient sounds could work well.

[OpenMaw]

Yeah, my only suggestion with that ending is to add some more screamo-noise type stuff to it.




Like around 4:50 here, when Slender appears.

No. This is an EDuke32 mod. EDuke32 can never be used on Xbox 360 whatever because of the GPL. (More that Microsoft doesn't want that, and not that it's inherently incompatible.) Not to mention someone would have to bear the brunt of the work porting EDuke32 to X360.

I looked at the Wikipedia page for Slender and it says it uses the Unity engine. So I went to wiki page for Unity engine. Both the Slender & Unity pages didn't mention EDuke32 whatsoever. So It must be a engine built from scratch. You sure about this?
