Do conveyor belts carry sound effectors?

I don't think so, but I know trains do - I think it was either oasiz or nukey who posted a tutorial showing how to make fading ambient sounds using a 2-way train sprite.

Darn, I guess I'll just put in an ambient sound and forgot the finesse of moving ones.

How does one scale down textures proportionally?

In the past (4 years ago), KN-5 with KN-6 or KN-2 maintained the proportions, if the number of keystrokes matched. I.E. 3 times on 2 and three times on 6 kept the texture in a perfect proportion. Now, I have no clue how to keep the texture square.

The wiki suggests to press '/' + SHIFT to make a texture square. Does not work for me, thus my simple question. :dukeaffirmative:

If a tree falls down and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Is there a cstat setting for disabling a sprite from emitting a Polymer light? I thought there was but couldn't find it in the Wiki. Maybe it doesn't exist.

You mean the hardcoded lights?

spriteflags <tilenum> 256

outside of the actor should do it.

Thanks, but I was hoping it was a bit I could set from the F8 menu on the sprite. I'm avoiding any con code for this project.

Don't think this is really a simple question... But when I export the model from Blender to .md3. It does some weird tearing and misplacing of where the vertices are in the UV. Why would it do this? As shown in the picture you can see what it will look like in game rendering of Duke with the messed up textures. It looks perfect and everything is lined up in Blender. Didn't have this issue with my first exported model I finished. ANyone know how to fix this?

Looks like you might want to ungroup the separate sections before exporting.

#251

the model is all one mesh. There are no other groups. Just vertec groups

I wanted to add that i'm also using Blender2.69. DOn't think it's the same script I was using either before. Because I was able to export the first girl with no problems and I have done the exact same thing as i've done with this one.

Confirmed... tried to export a different girl for the twins set and she also didn't export with the proper unwrap location.... this script is obviously shit. Does anyone have a script for blender that works??

Try those

One of them is (was) made right here by Drek
https://forums.duke4...-export-script/

all I do is import basic models right now, and the mesh works fine.
Using Blender 2.77

I just tried the one on that page and it wouldn't work. I got the 'Blender MD3 Export 2.63a: CoDEmanX' script to work and cleaned up that screwed up uvmapping error. Just need to clean up a bra clipping and she's done :DDD


Thanks!!!

How can I disable mapster from displaying animations on monsters? I'm talking about animations that are not hardcoded in the art file, like when you place a protector drone in the map.

The issue here is that I have put my own sprites on the same tile numbers, and the animations are completely wrong for them.

I assigned multiple skins to a model using the usual method of different pal numbers. But when trying to do the same for their glow maps only the pal 0 glow map shows on all the models. Is that a known limitation or a bug?

It's a known limitation.

Hello everyone !

I've searched all around and on the EDuke Wiki but nothing I found works so I'll just ask here :

What console line do you need to enter in the EDuke console in order to set skill level to 4 ?


On the Wiki I found -s# and "skill" but none work and I remember Micky said somewhere what to do and that it would give more enemies without the respawn feature but I can't find his post T_T

OK, I think this does it.

start a game on lower difficulty

use tilde~ to open the console

set the skill to damn I'm good
skill 4


then die and restart the level

#261

You have to die for the change to take place ?

I didn't expect that :/ Thanks ^^

I'm looking for an easy way to launch TC's that were made for 1.3 version on eduke32. What would you do?

I want to write a quick m32 script for rough shading.

in english like this

if wall facing north shade it x...

I read a.m32 found this bit of code about walls.
Spoiler

It looks as if I need to find each point and calculate the face from that? Anyone able to help clarify what exactly I would need to do.

I wrote a code specifically for this, not sure if there's a working .m32 of it. =/

I was going to remake it from first principles, but at the time I didn't feel like thinking about all the 3D spherical coordinate math to get a global illumination "sun" to meet my standards.

Though technically it would only take two angles (the radius component is irrelevant except as an intensity scalar), and the decision of which ones to use are made clear by the fact that BUILD walls are strictly vertical. The hard part is floor/ceiling slopes.

arctan x = 1 / 1 + x^2

I can't call arctan so I have to just write the math myself in m32 script like? I think I'm getting somewhere, deltas and stuff...

getangle is arctan2. Don't know if that helps.

I got something working, whatever I end up making from this point won't be too useful for other maps, this will help anyone get started if they want to try customizing it, it only shades 5,10,15,20 depending on if the wall is facing closest to N,S,E,W very very ugly.

Getting back into mapster again after a long break of doing other stuff. A common technique for creating trees in late 90's arcade racing games was to have two identical tree billboard sprites intersecting at 90 degrees into each other.
I've attempted to recreate this in mapster. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times it results in flickering and glitching where the sides of the sprites aren't blocking the other sprite properly. I can't figure out when it works and when it doesn't. Do I just have to accept that building with sprites often results in flicker and weirdness? It's very annoying.

Yes its an issue that has been problematic to fix. A number of attempts have been made but fixing transparency and rendering order for one instance causes problems with another one. Its still being looked into.
