I don't really understand what the goal is, though. Do you really want it to reset all that stuff every single level in every episode? If that's what you want, then you should use this:

onevent EVENT_ENTERLEVEL

^I would start with that and then add exceptions to it if there are levels or episodes that don't require reset.

Just tried this code (without "ifg VOLUME 0") and got this error: "expected a keyword but found 'ifn' "

Try using a more recent version of EDuke32. 'ifn' is shorthand for 'ifvarn' which along with other shorthand commands was added to EDuke32 a few months ago.

What it was supposed to do:
- In E1L1, don't apply equip reset code (because "Hydrostation" starts without pistol)
- On any other map, apply the reset code

My mistake was that VOLUME 0 LEVEL 1 wasn't E1L1 but E1L2. LEVEL 0 did the trick. The HURTRAIL line didn't seem to have any effect but I let it stay to catch all cases.

Just to be clear: starting the player on a HURTRAIL texture (like in E1L3) is the way that mappers make a player start without the pistol. That line is there because in a map like that, your code doesn't need to do anything, and you don't want it to because it would give the player the pistol back.

[pmw]

Wow, just downloaded this. Nice hints.txt, I like that. Funny to see how people play maps. Anyway, hopefully we see Eduke's multiplayer/coop in future...so we can play these mods in COOP...

Please don't expect me to do it for you, just like adding more addons.

Besides that, it's not very polite to show that you are not satisfied with the already quite massive amount of content this collection has to offer by now.

Thanks very much for pointing me to the right tools, I didn't mean to come off like that, I understand perfectly that you are not going to add random mod requests by people, sorry for making that impression and cheers for making this compilation

Exactly. However there are also maps that place the player above a small sector that contains slime or lava for a similar weaponless effect. I'm sure there can be maps that do that as well. One that comes in my mind is one of the levels from Duke is Ten episode, although that one is part of the episode and it's not the best example I gave. I think I remember another map that starts on top of lava, it's Christmas 2002 but I'm not sure if it's part of any map packs included. I don't remember all details, it's been long since I played these maps/episodes. I should have said that earlier but hey, better late than never.

I didn't know that those other textures had the same effect. The tile numbers could be added in to the code very easily.

[NightFright]

I still have some time left before I have to attend to my RL stuff again, so I will prepare a small update for the compilation which will be available on May 31.

In this update, I will mostly address the things that you guys asked for, i.e.:
- Separating the "Dark Place" series from Taivo's other maps
- Putting Pipeline's maps into a separate pack (with his missing SP and DM maps)
- Fixing "Hydrostation" start in the Glavic Pack
- Correct episode menu order for LR&WB (LR shown first, WB second)
- Minor tweaks for the Space/Urban packs (maps removed or replaced) and
- An improved exit for the last Chimera level (nukebutton still won't work, but now you can grab the Atomic Health if you like)

New addons which will be included:
- A.Dream Trilogy
- Duke Is 007 (with many critical map fixes) and
- Layre.

[FistMarine]

edit

[NightFright]

I don't know what difference it would make to rename a groupfile, but ok...

Regarding the Forklift Pack:
The addons have already been split for my update. I am still undecided however about the custom weapon art in "Time":
- Chaingun pickup was replaced by an MP5, but there is no HUD weapon replacement
- HUD pistol replacement has incomplete animation frames

Right now, I am tending towards sticking to my decision to remove these replacements.

[Dynamo128]

I did add Mystique and Complex to your mod in my version, following your step-by-step guide. Given that they're old/classic TC's, and since you're making a new update now, it might be good to add them perhaps, and given that I've already basically converted them all you'd need to do is download the .GRP files I made. I'm sure some people would enjoy giving these a try. Want them?

[NightFright]

Nah thanks, not needed. Have fun on your own with that.

[Lunick]

Hey NightFright, it only looks like Dynamo wants to contribute to the Addon Compilation with some mods (at least one of them I know are good) that he thinks should be included. I don't think he meant any illwell. If you're gonna include just pure map episodes then I think some actual addons would be good too. Let's not come off a little rude please?

He was being pretty polite actually LeoD. He was not demanding that they should be added, just "perhaps". NightFright said he was done in that post you quoted but is working on it again unexpectedly so the perfect opportunity to suggest things, not like he was "demanding" they were being added.

Yeah I think NightFright was just saying that it will be a while before anything else will be added, so if someone wants episodes added sooner, they are on their own.

[NightFright]

Ok folks, to take the steam out of this conversation before it gets us off track too much:

I have no problem with adding Mystique, but it has 30 levels and I need to play them all first to see if there are any problems. I have also done this with all previous entries of this compilation. Naturally, this will take a while. If you guys are ok with me not holding my initial deadline for May 31, I can start working on it and I release the update later.

And my apologies to anybody feeling offended by my short and rejective replies, I am a bit on the edge lately and sometimes I let off some steam in the wrong places. I hope you guys understand. ^^

refresh my memory. what about the exit?

[FistMarine]

edit

[NightFright]

I tried moving the nukebutton out of the exit room into the surrounding sectors and it worked. Just didn't when it stayed where it was. No idea why a sector would prevent a nukebutton from working.

[rambo919]

Strange visual bug in some places. without polymer enabled it gives this overlay ghost screen and with polymer the problem background is just all black. Does not affect objects or enemies.
Have tried it with 32bit 64bit with and without HRP. The fastest way to replicate is to start the 2000 campaign of 1999/2000TC.

it's the wall property that the nuke button is on.

Please do not use the shorthand commands in the Addon Compilation's CON code. This would unnecessarily rule out the use of any EDuke32 executables older than 2016. That's no option IMO, given the number of unresolved issues in recent builds.

You are my hero.... I still would consider the Pinxten pack, but it's your choice.

Sorry for my constant update requests.... it's because this is the best thing in Duke 3D history in many years (not including the great DNF 2013 mod), and I/we want to make it even more perfect!
