This isn't really a "cbp" anymore as I've done... everything so... yeah.

A video of my Shootout style map made awhile back,
if you don't keep up with the monsters, they'll add up on you.
A Shadow Ninja is behind that door and if you don't get him quick, he rains down fire.
Also in the video, teaser elements of the add-on .. Hud changes and red dot instead of crosshair.

BTW:... that is my phone, was made in 2011 and still zero reason to replace it.

To fog or not to fog?




Screenshots seem to wind up looking brighter than ingame for some reason.

[Micky C]

Looks fine with no fog.

Ok, no fog it is. It caused a glitch anyways that would lock swp, lol.

4+ Minute Teaser/Preview Video For the SWC Add-On:

[Micky C]

Looks intense, I hope it's not too hard. I take it that some of the areas shown with a complete lack of shading will be improved before release? Also the flying saucer needs to have its relatively bit set so that the textures move with the ship.

I like the Star Trek references.

The easy modes will be really easy... medium and hard will be quite difficult.(Good for repeat playability)

Haha .. some areas yes... some areas no.

I kinda liked it panning :S

1 map is aboard the enterprise, that map is Wamplet's map.... I just made it singleplayer and took it quite a bit further.

I'm very aroused by this video to be honest!

Haha cool .. it's probably just the Motley Crue, it'll do that to ya.
(somebody already gave it a "dislike" on youtube, lol)

[necroslut]

Looks really great.

[Jimmy]

Looks neat, has some interesting stuff. Needs a little polish here and there but I'm digging it overall.

[Robman]

Thanks Jimmy, I should probably ditch a few of the older maps I've made.
I figure the first 4 map episode will likely just be wangbang maps but also have some monsters to smash around whilst in singleplayer.
The "retail" episode that originally had 20+ maps will be the singleplayer aspect.

As my mapping has progressed, I've gotten better at it but it just takes so damn long to make maps, for now I've run out of steam/time for it, so I figured I'd atleast make a quick video with some of what I have so far.

I only have 8 or 9 of my own made for it so far for the singleplayer portion. All of them still need refining and finishing touches, the last one I've made is really the only one I think is "good."

If push comes to shove, I'll possibly just put it all together and release it, probably May of 2017 (20yr anniversary of SW.)
After that I'll probably just release maps for it using the same texture set, slowly as I make them as bonus updates.

I would leave out the remake maps of other games, I don't feel they fit with the Shadow Warrior aesthetic.

Well.. q2dm1 the edge I built from scratch and would be in the MP portion.
The Heretic map was a conversion yes, but it only converts the architecture.. everything else was me.
The Hollywood Holocaust map .. again only the architecture is converted, I thought Dukers would like having a much better conversion of it to SW to play.(Finally) I've resized it, tried to add a few Duke sounds(projector) ...it's still not finished, the textures are pretty much in place, but all the effects aren't completed.

At the end of the day, I'm only one guy and it takes a stupid long time to make maps... let alone "good" maps.

Sometimes I wish I had some other mappers in on it but I also have grown to like the selfish aspect of me having done it all.

I've worked on this for years now on and off, I'm expecting a Robman Jr and work a "real" job(lol) so time for Shadow Warrior stuff is looking pretty slim. Which is why I say that I may just put it all together and then tweak it and add maps later as updated versions to atleast get it out the door.

If the way I've displayed it has anybody thinking that it will be a "big deal" it won't be... I want people to have the lowest possible expectations of this add-on, lol.

I really wish Eduke would support SW, that way maybe some of my "huge" maps that crash with SWP(because of lots of detail/action/open areas) will work properly and maybe even look better.

I've also arrived at the conclusion that it probably won't work properly with Classic(Dos) Sw, it'll need SWP/Redux or ..VoidSw? Heh.

[Micky C]

Wouldn't voidsw basically be eduke32 sw? I prefer eWang though.

Personally I think Hollywood Holocaust has been done to death in other games. I'd be very surprised if the version in the episode will bring anything new to the table. Yes it would play slightly differently but in a way that's relatively predictable.

[FistMarine]

What's the current status of VoidSW anyway? I haven't heard anything about since the last year. I read somewhere around the forums that Evan is very busy and/or very sick (if the latter, then I'm very sorry to hear that) but I would like to see VoidSW finished one day because I remember talking with Evan back in 2014-2015 when he was working on VoidSW and then he stopped working on it. I don't remember what happened after that.

The main problem is that there aren't any decent SW source ports at the moment and it makes me sad when I read on various sites people complaining that their saves don't work because they use that broken SWP port. I know that the current solution is either to use an older version of SWP port (I think 4.3.1 instead of 4.3.2) or to use Redux port from Steam. If neither of these are the solutions, then the only remaining way is to play the game in DOSBox, which is not a problem for me but some people don't like using the original DOS executable.

The only thing we can do right now is to wait and hopefully soon we will get some news about the status of VoidSW.
