annoying problem with mapster editor: how to get out of the window MAPSTER, or minimize it to switch to other applications such as text editor or image editor ?
it is very difficult to get out of the maspter window by pressing the windows key ...
and it crash ofen at closing

[High Treason]

Press the ~ key (typically below ESC, occasionally next to the Return key with a # on it) and the console comes down, then move the mouse out of the window, you may have to click to make the pointer appear. When you're done, click back on Mapster32 and press ESC to make the console go away.

Mapster has crashed at exit for a couple of years now for me, I think I did report it, but I expect the devs were busy and I never cared that much as it only does it when it's already seemingly exited.

Does removing/renaming nedmalloc.dll fix it?

[zazo]

mapster works without this dll
apparently there is no crash this time in my side

a list of commands for the mapster console ??
what was so special about using the console?

in duke plus, there is an cool effect of slipping on the wet ground, made ​​with the sprite 504 (glass2). I try to find the code in the dukeplsu cons but I can not.

The guts of the code for that is in "state slipperycode" in PLAYERPLUS.CON

When does modifying htextra have an effect? I'm trying to make damage decrease with distance, using some old locational damage code as a guide. The code's messy as I'm quite rusty and have mashed together multiple fragments. The log gets a lot of -1s (or were they 0s? I've changed lots of things back and forth) and enemies die about as quickly as usual. I've tried dividing previously, it subtracts now but nothing seems to work.

I am literally just answering this question and not reading your code (to save myself time).

In general, htextra is processed by the actor in its code with the ifhitweapon command. EVENT_GAME occurs after the actor code has been processed, so htextra will have been reset by then and manipulating it will not have the desired effect.

[Hendricks266]

EVENT_PREGAME might come to the rescue.

Totally understandable. I probably should have removed the commented out part.

That does fit my observations. I think perhaps I misinterpreted the locational damage code and that adding to the htextra was done in the off chance that some other damage was stored there rather than the original bullet. Is there any other way to alter the damage for one hitscan shot?

[zazo]

little question: a way to spawn blue, red and yellow accesscards ? the command spawn ACCESSCARD spawns only the blue card ...
Another thing: the command endofgame ends the episode, but is a command to finish the level and access the next level ?

[Kyanos]

After spawning try
Setactor[return].pal

About ending the current level. I'm pretty sure it can be done, but I've never done it so I can't help. Did you look through the eduke wiki commands list?

[High Treason]

I don't know of one, but you could use startlevel. I can provide you with an example actor code to do this (so you can change the level number in the editor) if you need one.

the command startlevel works well, but my probleme is to jump to the next level in the current episode... is a command to detect the number of the current level and add 1 to it in the startlevel ... im very bad, i dont find this in the wiki

I found myself:

gamevar currentlevel 0 1
gamevar currentvolume 0 1

setvarvar currentlevel LEVEL
setvarvar currentvolume VOLUME
addvar currentlevel 1
startlevel currentlevel currentvolume

thanks !

Arg ! eduke crash with the message "too many sprite spawned" !!
a way to avoid this by the code??

[Hendricks266]

Post the complete context of the code you are using. It is likely the code is continuously running, spawning the cards over and over. A structure change is required to fix it.

[zazo]

is there a version of editart that allows you to edit tiles numbers after 14: tiles022.art, tiles030.art, tiles050.art ... and next

[Alan]

Yeah, you have to get the version with Atomic Edition to go up to 20 I believe, and to go beyond that you need the version bundled with EDuke 2.1 IIRC.

[Diaz]

Hey guys, just a quickie, cause I don't remember - was it possible to change the shrinker's hard-coded polymer light colour? If not I will just disable it, but for the weapon I currently have replacing the shrinker, it would be cool if it could glow blue instead of green.
