Using the version that comes with it.


I'm pretty sure it's because the partner is physically solid and has a tendency to fly insanely close while airborne. I remember a similar incident in E1L4 where the crane was prevented from moving because the partner kept trying to shove its nose in my ankle while I was inside it.

[Danukem]

I can't provide new code files at this time because there have been too many changes since the last public release. However, I have a quick-and-dirty fix if you are willing to paste in a couple of lines.

In the scripts folder, open BOMBSHELL.CON and DUKEBOT.CON

in BOMBSHELL.CON find the first instance of "state shellyjetpack" where the code for her jetpacking starts.

Next, find this line:

movesprite THISACTOR xvel tempb zdist CLIPMASK0 mtype

and right above it, add a new line of code, so that the result looks like this:

ifp pjetpack ifpdistl 1280 nullop else
	movesprite THISACTOR xvel tempb zdist CLIPMASK0 mtype

That will simply stop her from following so close if both the player and her are using jetpacks. You can increase the distance 1280 to a higher number if that's not enough.

Now, do the same thing for the Duke bot. In DUKEBOT.CON, the state is "state dukejetpack" and the other line is exactly the same.

Save changes to the files, start a new game and see what happens.

I am speaking to all the DAA project team. There is in this super awesome TC, interesting textures for my mod. Does this bother someone from the project, if I take some tiles?

[Phredreeke]

I believe Dan has said elsewhere he doesn't want the assets used for AA used in other mods.

[Danukem]

Some of the sprite sheets were posted in the community stockpile thread and are being used in other projects without objection. As for art not posted in the community stockpile, you would need to ask sebabdukeboss20 since he is the artist who made almost everything.

Sorry no. This mod is still under development. However the enemy sheet variants I posed in the community stockpile and on my signature "My Custom Sprites" are okay. And of course credit is required.

[F!re-Fly]

Ok!

These are the guts of Pigcop, Newbeast, Egg and Commander. And also Tankwreck and Reconwreck. Thank you !

[Danukem]

Maybe you should have said exactly what you wanted to use in your first post, or made it a PM. The guts sprites for the old enemies are not anything special, and some of them didn't even originate in AA. I doubt that anyone would actually have a problem with you using them.

[F!re-Fly]

Yes I understand. Only I wanted to ask the question on this thread, because I did not really know the original author. I'll just have to be told if I can finally use the textures mentioned.

Took me a few days to get around to this, but it works good now. I repeatedly went up and down the shaft in E2L1 (where it previously happened twice in a row) and everything worked as intended.


Danke.

Nice weapon sprite - is that from your own render?

You won me over with the hub world. Well, you already won me over with AA 1.0, 2.0, etc but you won me over even harder.

Yes. Using 3d models from other games and modifying them. Since we're upscaling stuff to a certain standard resolution, I decided to upscaled some HUDs to look better.

Same one, different graphic. I got my hands a lot of new 3d weapon models while upgrading AMC TC and have a nice library now.

Sweet higher res rifle!

Okay so I played through the DC campaign as Duke solo just because, but when I reached the final level, Bombshell spontaneously appeared, and all new enemies were gone.

The skyscraper says "Mad Genius (Software)" so it must originate from Gunmetal.

Bombshell will join you in the final level even if you play on solo, because she is in the final cutscene and it wouldn't make sense otherwise. There is a new boss at the end of the final level, even if the enemies leading up to it are the vanilla ones. You made it sound like there was a bug.

This video shows some of the weapon additions that will be included with the next episode. The upgrade screen is WIP.

Because I thought there was. Especially since Bombshell doesn't spontaneously appear at the start of The Alien Remains if you play solo, even though she's in that cutscene too.

And I believed during my first playthrough all the enemies I encountered weren't part of the randomization feature. So I thought it broke when I got there, given that AA's take on DC had been extremely difficult up to that point with the placement of new enemies everywhere. The thought that the final level of the campaign would rely on vanilla spawns literally never crossed my mind as a result, so I assumed something broke.


That being said, the three troopers from the cafeteria were missing, so that only served to further prove my invalid conclusion.

[Danukem]

If new enemies are placed in the map file itself, that is supposed to disable the randomized new enemy feature. That's because, if the mapper placed the new enemy types on purpose, then we don't want it also replacing some of the vanilla enemies with new ones. An exception was made in the code for that one particular boss, though (the boss at the end of DC). So, the complete absence of new enemies in the map is puzzling if you had the randomizer on. There might be a bug where if the feature gets turned off in an earlier level, it never gets re-enabled. That would make the most sense, since there are new enemies placed in all the earlier maps. I don't know why there would be missing troopers in the cafeteria, but all of the maps were edited, so they were probably just deleted at some point.

Everyone's a critic.
I made the angle match most of the vanilla sprite's position.

They're are not deleted. I just pulled the map out of my raw vanilla DC folder & compared it to the AA map. Both trooper captains are right where they were originally put.
Neither were tagged for a difficulty level in the original, nor AA.

Why they "disappeared" should be the question asked. Maybe they teleport-cloaked, walked off, and never uncloaked.
