pfl Posted June 3, 2013 @ scientist: "... laying low ..." :))) I used to do that all the time, on a "very low" scale, though :)) This off-duty will spare you one week of mighty salary. Music file updated. Thanks. I will upload my updated text file on the 5th. Then it'll be up to schwerpunk to finish it up. @ Da Werecat: Perfect. Have you made the change Grey2 -> Grey3 already ? Let's talk about grey3 :)) it seems to have been lowered in ammo. Tiny but still, enough that this time I ended the level with LESS shells and clips. But I don't see other mod's if there is. Are they ? This is my 5th time on it, and after 5 runs, it still plays fun. @ everyone: The Megawad Club is "waiting" for us, and others. Nobody ever replied if the 6/6/2013(6) was good enough. Is it? This has to end :) 0 Share this post Link to post

This has to end :) 666 sounds lucky to me; let's do it. We'll never get everything perfect, but all the important fixes have been applied (thanks again for everyone that put in overtime for no pay), which is the most important thing. 0 Share this post Link to post
Da Werecat Posted June 3, 2013 Actually, it's grey4 now, although I haven't released it as separate wad. It wouldn't worth it. pfl said:But I don't see other mod's if there is. Are they ? The only thing that's changed in grey3 is ammo/health placement. It was redone practically from scratch. But I wanted the map to remain relatively fair even if the player couldn't figure out the rocket launcher secret. Although technically it's not a secret. 0 Share this post Link to post
pfl Posted June 3, 2013 @ Da Werecat: Exactly, the rocket launcher is touchy to get at first and the ending :) needs to take this into account. It is "perfect" like this. I felt I had none to waste during the stay, and that's just it. Well done. @ everyone: Ok. So we're basically settled. 6/6/6 is the release date. The 5th text file will come in here. I need only two music entries. All others are done. I have two more maps to complete (22/23) and 23 has been proven fully fonctional. I think we now have something working GREAT. :)) 0 Share this post Link to post

Jaws In Space Posted June 3, 2013 Okay here is my last update for this wad. I removed some ammo from Control Center because there was a stupidly high amount. Then I Lower unpeged the doors on Support Storage so now it doesn't look so dumb when the doors open. Da Werecat thanks for fixing my stupid mistake on Up Town.

Death Egg Posted June 4, 2013 Could someone update my map so that whenever you grab the blue key bars raise up blocking the exit, and when you kill the Cyberdemon that spawns they lower? I'm really dumb at coding and have been at it for an hour or two trying to get it to work with no luck. 0 Share this post Link to post
pfl Posted June 4, 2013 @ Da Werecat: It's good to have the edited version as soon as it's done; I'm constantly on, searching and testing. I don't even have to list the updates, you're doing it for me as I read back along the thread :)). Great job again. Have you any idea about Death Egg's request ? Or Scientist (we have to keep him high) :)) To do: - Death Egg's blue key - update with the new Control Center & Support Storage 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm really dumb at coding and have been at it for an hour or two trying to get it to work with no luck. Open in db2. Click view/script. Paste (or add to your current scripts if you already have some): #include "zcommon.acs" script 1 (void) { floor_raisebyvalue(1,256,128); } script 2 (void) { floor_lowerbyvalue(1,256,128); } Select both cyber and key. Give both action 80. Make key "script number" 1, and cyber 2. Give bars tag 1. (or you may have to edit those tags or script numbers to be whatever next unused numbers in your map). http://zdoom.org/wiki/Floor_RaiseByValue Edit: isn't this the map that said "insert blue key here, I couldn't think of a reason" yada, etc. I liked that joke by the way. 0 Share this post Link to post
Death Egg Posted June 4, 2013 The only issue is that the Cyberdemon spawns via map spot, and doesn't exist on the map until then. I'm not sure how to have it so he can spawn with an action def. Also, thanks. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
gggmork Posted June 4, 2013 When you spawn the cyber, give it a tag like 2. Then setthingspecial is set to tag 2 (the cyber) as 'acs execute' of script 2. So script 2 happens when the cyber dies now. (only you probably want lower by value in that case)#include "zcommon.acs" script 1 open { spawnspot("cyberdemon",1,2,64); setthingspecial(2,acs_execute,2); } script 2 (void) { floor_raisebyvalue(1,128,128); } 0 Share this post Link to post

Da Werecat Posted June 4, 2013 This is an engine list.

MAP11 I had to raise 2 ceilings and paste 4 textures to allow some platforms to lower with complevel 2. Of course, it was totally unnecessary. MAP23 An unpleasantly looking vertex shift was fixed.

Death Egg Posted June 4, 2013 I should mention my map works in ZDoom but is recommended to be played in OpenGL due to a graphical error only present in software mode at the beginning. 0 Share this post Link to post
pfl Posted June 5, 2013 Text file updated EDIT: I retrieved it since I got one last minute call from one author and we're checking one last detail. Will update as soon as. @ Da Werecat: I think I'll have to thrust you on this one :) One day before closing ... 0 Share this post Link to post
schwerpunk Posted June 5, 2013 @ pfl: It would be nice to have all the credits, but as long as something is mentioned we should be fine. Worst case, one of us can just put the missing credit in the comments section at idgames. Updates out the wazoo! Each time I feel like this is a complete version that I'd be happy stamping with 'approved for release,' but somehow it's always improved upon. I haven't been able to finish a complete run without an update coming out for a while now. So good work on that. I think we should aim for a release of 7:06pm EST tomorrow (or 6:66pm >:). For my part, I'll go over the text file again, and power through the whole megawad one last time, but unless something is actually broken [that can't be fixed on the spot], I say we're good go. @ everyone: Is that (see above) the general consensus here as well? P.S. I'll be pretty much absentee from this thread today (so not much change, really), as it's my SO's birthday. I have complete faith in you guys! 0 Share this post Link to post
Da Werecat Posted June 5, 2013 All Jaws In Space's maps are working fine in vanilla Doom, by the way. But some of them have minor visual glitches. Death Egg said:I should mention my map works in ZDoom but is recommended to be played in OpenGL due to a graphical error only present in software mode at the beginning. I would also recommend GZDoom for MAP18, because it have some PNG flats with more shades of grey than Doom palette can show. Although it's purely cosmetic. schwerpunk said:Is that (see above) the general consensus here as well? Well, I don't mind. 0 Share this post Link to post
pfl Posted June 5, 2013 @ schwerpunk: I have a much updated text file for you: EDITED OUT One important thing would be to check the "where to get this file" at the bootom of the file to ensure it's the right spot. As for the release, everything will be fine with me. I have run through the wad 5 times now, not counting the maps seperatly, sometimes with an add-on, and it plays great all the way through. This doesn't need the N.A.S.A seal of approval :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Da Werecat Posted June 5, 2013 "Original Map Format" column should be omitted, I think. 0 Share this post Link to post
pfl Posted June 5, 2013 Well, I don't mind that. It's in schwerpunk's hands now :)delegate(: It followed a suggestion we had and it seves a puprose of being well detailed, if anyone would want to do something with the original maps ... 0 Share this post Link to post
Da Werecat Posted June 5, 2013 Quite frankly, I'm not even sure what this column should represent. It's not about Doom Builder configs, because otherwise it wouldn't claim that my map's "format" is "Doom 2". And it's not about actual map formats, because no one of them is ZDoom-specific. In other words, it's not about anything. 0 Share this post Link to post
schwerpunk Posted June 5, 2013 Map format column will be nixed when I get my hands on the text file tomorrow morning. You're right: it serves no purpose to the players. 0 Share this post Link to post
