a quick question - is it really impossible for subway vehicles to play sound effects whenever their ceiling is parallaxed ? the map i am currently working on involves a moving train in outdoors settings and its special sound sprite won't work, i have tried implementing it both the conventional way (just throwing the M into the main sector with no need for a hi-tag) and as an ambient sound (with a hi-tag, seeing as trains do carry the 10 special sprites, SE's and such, i assumed that might work, but it didn't), i am trying to find a workaround because a train that doesn't make sounds feels terribly fake and unrealistic, but so far to no avail. is there a trick people have used before or is my train doomed to stay silent ?

edit - managed to make it work. the ambient sound method eventually worked, it just didn't occur to me that the normal subway sound could not be ambient sound compatible. i was certain it was for some reason. silly me

Wouldn't that mean the sound plays while it's stopping as well, though?

I never realized parallaxed ceilings stop the regular sounds from working, though. The hardcoded stuff in Duke3D are full of weird quirks.

OK, I guess complex sloping qualifies as a good reason. Just type "script_expertmode" into the console.


Haha, this is just lazy and will likely lead to weird effects. There has to be a precedent why I made non-adjacent joining expert-mode-only.

I'm trying to disable expert mode in a fresh Eduke32 synthesis and everything I get is:

"M32 Script expert mode is DISABLED" But it doesn't disable expert mode, How can I disable Expert Mode?

Strange, that should be enough to disable it..
Are you loading any m32 scripts before this as some actions will require it to be on?

But it should be disabled by default - are you sure you don't want to ENABLE it?

Oh my bad, you are right, I want to enable expert mode.

Open console then enter script_expertmode 1 then validate that. Can also be added as a line to m32_autoexec.cfg to make it permanent (will be on by default every time you launch Mapster) in case you want that.

Thanks!
