I got some new graphics for the spider and gave the code a overhaul as well. Here a new video showing the spiders in action:

Irritating little b******s! They fire a web to trap or restrict your movements, then attack you while you're helpless!

But other than that, that's very good!

This mod looks great! I never got a chance to play the original since it was released after I stopped playing Duke, but i'm going to go back and check it out tonight.

Good luck with the mod and i'll be watching for updates.

Cool, but keep in mind that the original and the sequel have about as much in common as Final Fantasy VI and VII. Which is to say, not much.

the first WG Realms has problem with polymer renderer:

when you finish level 1 and when you start level 2 there is crash (at the start of the fall)

that doesn't happen with polymost

Polymer is much more sensitive to corrupt maps.

Thanks, let me know how you like it. It is very different from WGR2 though.

Or classic, in fact that has never happened before. I would test it, but polymer doesn't work for me.

...and the crash isn't even worth mentioning unless and until it happens with the version of polymer that is released.

To be honest, that shotgun could really be worked on. It's far too angled and it doesn't line up correctly to the crosshair. Unless you offset it far further to the right or tweak it somehow, it'll be confusing.

I concur. This is one of my peeves with the SST TC.

The shotgun is much better than it was before.

It should be moved more to the right side. Otherwise it looks very cool.

I'll just move it to the right by changing one line of code, thanks.

I agree, the brown also still looks like metal as the source image. Doesn't look like wood to me.

I think the brown looks like plastic. But I don't think WG or I are going to fix details like that. We need an 8-bit art specialist.

I don't think you should change the shotgun. It's fine as it is.
I also like the old shotgun of the first video at http://www.moddb.com/mods/wgrealms-2

Can we have that as alternative? For example the old shotgun can be used only for explosive shells, like in Duke64.

I dont think so...

I had to change the colour of the gloves to black anyways, so now the brown part of the shotgun is black too, and looks alot cooler now.

Now I remember why I like the old shotgun. It was from AvP TC.

We have a backpack already that works like the one in Doom (doubling ammo capacities). There could be a bunch of incremental ones instead. It would create more incentive to open chests and look for secrets. On the other hand, it would take some redesign to make ammo capacity play the same role it does in the Metroid series. In those games, missiles are the main boss killing weapon, and the limited quantity you have early in the game makes a major difference to your boss fighting power, but not for killing ordinary enemies. In WGR2, like in Duke, there is no one weapon that dominates. Severely limiting ammo early on would be pretty cripping all around. I suppose the chainsaw and basic shotgun could be fully functional from the beginning, and then the ammo ups could only affect other weapons? Hmmm. Anyway, it's food for thought, thanks for the idea.


I was thinking that the incremental upgrades could be used to (further?) increase the max. amount of ammo for certain weapons, such as the rock-spammign pipebombs (or whatever the hell that was) and other "magic" weapons. Or even upgrade the weapon itself, in rare cases.

Yeah, its just a model rip from Counterstrike, I think.

I'm not sure about those spiders. Enemies like that are usually a pretty terrific recipe for a spectucularily annoying gaming experience. I don't think there's any game to date that doesn't have spiders in the9m that aren't annoying as shit, and to be frank they don't look fun at all to deal with here either. (screen constantly bobbing when you're hit, "web-spamming", screen pal-shifting etc)

Perhaps if they were in lesser numbers and a bit tougher they might pose more of a fair challenge.

(just trying to be constructive!)

The current plan calls for there being 4 mini-episodes and a final level, selectable from a HUB level. The player can play the episodes in any order, but can access the final level only after completing all four of the mini-episodes. Each level will end in a boss fight. So if a mini-episode has three maps, then the first two maps would end in mini-bosses, and the last map would end in a big boss. Every boss you beat gives you something permanent: maybe some fire resistance, maybe a max life up, or max ammo up, or perhaps something more interesting. Upgrades can also be found in the levels (inside of treasure chests, for example). When you beat the big boss of the episode, it drops a talisman which has magical upgrade properties and also gives you the ability to return to the HUB level. This means you can now go back and forth between the HUB and the mini-episode any time you want, so you can collect whatever you missed. At least, that's the plan as it stands right now. It is subject to change. One nice thing about this is it is scalable. If four mini-episodes is too much, then it could become three. Or maybe the TC could be released in installments (the first release would have just the first mini-episode, the second would have two, etc.)

Yeah I was thinking of releasing it in installments of mini episodes. At least that way the community gets a taste and we get some feedback. + I'm sure people will map for it.

Yeah, but now is difficult to distinguish the left hand. So for me is worse.
