<esselfortium> Spadger: in the meantime, post in the kdi thread on doomworld to stimulate discussion :p

It's true, it's all true! Except the lightsourcing, I think Production IG made that up. :|

Is this even a real project or just something to fuel boredom that's "worth" discussing over? And, I dunno. I liked KDIZD. I get the feeling this is made on purpose to bash it or something?

Yes this thread is serious. The project exists and is serious. Let's stop asking that question because IT IS REAL KTHXBYE.

And this isn't a joke. I've put a lot of time into it, and I guarantee you that it's very much real.

Other than the overall idea, I think this makes it sound like a joke thread.

KDiKDiZD is a completely serious project, and has received support and encouragement from several members of the original KDiZD team (particularly Risen and NiGHTMARE) in the thread made for it on zdoom.org.

This gave me an idea for a boss with multiple attack in vanilla DOOM. The only problem is that it needs to be placed in a room where he only see the player or he'll look odd.

Remove the "attack frame" from dehacked, then edit it's walking frame so it loops certain times on the walking frames, then the looping does a tour from some attack animation, the tour then continue with more walking (enough to make it look natural), a new attack, more walking.. and so on, doing a cycle. Of course this would be very predictable, but could work (should require a shitload of precious codepointers though, nothing serious if you sacrifice the archvile and/or ss dude in the process).

Another way could be to just do a cycle on the attack frame, so it cycle in different attacks (no walking in the middle), but that should not be the same (it'd work as the Ophidians from Heretic).

Count me in as well :) I really like what I see so far, it looks promising :)

• the "Activate this object" texts will be replaced with corresponding new key "Open this door";
  
• you'll study map progression and make it so the player can't find the blue door when they have the silver key, for example;
  
• you'll reposition some keys so they're always taken, two-by-two, in the same order, so the graphics will look properly: one key over another.

How I delight in seeing these issues brought up once again, even 14 years later. Vanilla Doom back to power, thanks to K D i K D i Z D. Maybe this will raise a new standard, by which people should map for vanilla Doom and respect the Visplanes, max map size and capped Dehacked usage, so as no monster excesses.


Good luck with all six keys at once, however. Perhaps it will act like this:

• the "Activate this object" texts will be replaced with corresponding new key "Open this door";
  
• you'll study map progression and make it so the player can't find the blue door when they have the silver key, for example;
  
• you'll reposition some keys so they're always taken, two-by-two, in the same order, so the graphics will look properly: one key over another.
  

You've got a better plan?

If you're gonna sit here and claim this is a serious project than maybe you should stop giving it unrealistic date times and jee I dunno....be serious when you speak maybe? Just a suggestion Essel.
