I'm editing this topic because this purpose of this thread has changed drastically. You can updated binaries and source code on my website https://crozzbreed23...site.com/icedsw

Original post:

Spoiler

Hey guys,

As many of you know I'm back and hooking up the Shadow Warrior codebase to Eduke32. What I've also touched on is creating a new episode for Shadow Warrior. I want to focus on making gameplay, with the exception of redueing the panel(status bar) code. I want to make new weapons, and the code is not as malleable as I would like. Termit has graciously given me permission to include the HD status bar assets from Redux in the project. On my GitHub these assets will be located in swhd/redux/*.*. I have received permission for non commercial useage of these assets. If anyone else would like to use these assets, I would contact Termit directly. Thanks again Termit!!

The new episode I would like to make is inspired by the on going crazy bullshit that is happening in North Korea.

PLOT:
With increasing tensions with North Korea, Kim Jung Un is worried that he will be killed and enlists the help of Zilla to move his consciousness into a body that's less frail. The end result is a body that looks very absurd that has Kim Jung Un's stupid hair style.

New Weapon ideas:
Expander Weapon
Lightning Gun
Exploding Bullets for the shotgun or uzi.


New Monsters:
Boss - Kim Jung Un
Mini Boss - Zombie versions of Kim Jung Un's Father
Monster that comes up to the player and steals weapons, items and keys.
Monster that has some kind of shield as protection.
More TBD


New Gameplay:
More blood effects.
Panel code redue using Redux assets.


Levels:
TBD, but with a focus on areas in China and North korea.


What do you guys think?

This would be an amazing additional episode, but the question is, how far is your port from functionality? kinda need to get that running first before talking about a new episode.

I wonder if there are any sound clips of jung un you could use for the boss...
a sub boss would have to Dennis Rodman, as he is a "friend' on the Jungs.

[NNC]

Wow, Kim Jung Un allies with mind controlled gorillas and giant snakes? I hope we'll hear the story on CNN.

Btw. keep up the good work. SW badly needs more recognition.

We'd love to help out, but we're still working on the last project you walked away from.

Do you have any level designers on board?

Unfortunately one of the downsides to working in the game industry is non compete contracts. I understand and deserve a bunch of shit for past transgressions from you guys, but I got tired of walking down the fine line that I was doing. Fortunately I'm in a better position with this since I'm only doing game code and not graphics upgrades.

Not that far off, I can actually get the remainder done in the next few days if I hack around some issues. I am instead trying to get a full grasp of the codebase by getting everything implemented properly.

There are no level designers on board yet. If your willing to join, I would love to have you on the team.

You tell us.
1. 'tis the season. Two offers, to join a brand new team, are seen at the CryEngine right now, and since I only can count to ten, +ten at Unity 3D .
2. I've read you plan to merge stuff with Eduke32. Will this then mean, one can actually make maps in Mapster32? If not, you need to make this (image below) to go away, to draw old or even new mappers.
 BuildRaw01.jpg (46.72K)
Number of downloads: 50
3. Once a mapper knows what which actor does, when and where and why and how etc.; good maps will follow. Shadow Warrior is a great game, the best in my books, but it lacks tools, that work on current OSs.

All the best. If you build it they will come.

What do you guys think?

What do I think? I think your priority should be getting SW working in eduke32. After that, add FLAC support, in addition to the .ogg and vorbis support that's there already.

As far as that new ep goes, don't call him Kim Jong Un, so that his country's cyberarmy doesn't target you. Spoof his name and appearance, though, but claim that it's not really him. You're dealing with a police state that has no problem with retaliating against its enemies.

EDuke32 supports FLAC.

What does a non-commercial Duke port have to do with non compete contracts? A lot of people were let down by PolymerNG being abandoned.

Hey guys can we focus on this topic. The only insults I would like to see are the ones directed at me .

Here is the Redux UI assets working in EDuke32 SW.

I don't have the time, let alone the SW mapping knowledge. Actually, there's a thought... mapster32 sort of has some support for SW maps since it uses the same format, but is incomplete. You might be able to widen your mapping net if mapster32 fully supported SW level design.

To my knowledge, the main limitations are:
-Size perspective. IIRC SW maps are 1.5 times larger than Duke maps in scale? Perhaps there can be a 'SW' mode where this is accounted for. I.e the grid size becomes 1.5 times larger. Also, the 'gravity' mode in 3D mode which moves the camera to the player height is correct.

-SW effects. I gather there are certain tags for the SW effects that aren't compatible/accounted for in mapster32.

What happened to PolymerNG?

[icecoldduke]

I just got the savegame system working. I borrowed code from Redux, and had to modify that for EDuke32 and x64. Evan the only issue I'm having now is sprites are not drawing with there alphas in the savegame screenshot. Do you know what might be going on?

[Hendricks266]

Are you using the same code we do to take a GL screenshot and index it to the game palette? There may be a missing option for alpha testing somewhere in the setup code for that.

Yeah I am, I'll take a look.

Thread cleaned up and anyone who shits in it again is banned. Thanks!

Does your project require the Steam version or will the original 90's CD version work?

The original sw.grp will work fine. If you want music you will need the music folder from the steam version.

[Tea Monster]

While you are at it, can you fix all those polymer bugs that we reported months ago and nobody fixed?

[Mike Norvak]

I can help with new music when the time comes, and game design plans and sketches (if it makes any sense) What the extension of the episode is gonna be? Number of maps, etc.
Some problem with the original SW is that most levels feels maze like instead of unlinnear and have some unfair battles imo.

[Mark]

The first map loads but my view spins around. I went to options and when I enter keyboard or mouse setup the game freezes and I have to "task manager" my way back to desktop.

Try disabling mouse input. I did not see that happen during my testing but that should prevent that from happening.

Edit sw.cfg and change UseMouse = 1 to UseMouse = 0
