You could always try using the giant-rat sprite from Daggerfall as it looks much better than that rat in the screenshot, it has red eyes also.

Don't worry the coup de grace is when it is confirmed that this will be a CLOSED-source modification that will bit-rot and become unplayable in 3 years.

Since you said that, I'll make sure to ensure that the source is available.

Also, I'll try using the Daggerfall rat, thanks for suggesting it, Avoozl.

I think the SNES Wolf3D rat is more appropriate. Where did the weapon art come from? It is wonderfully 90s and reminds me of Terminator Rampage.

Actually, the weapon sprites are just pictures of JoeyTD's airsoft guns.

Not when you're in a survival situation, surrounded by mutant rats who crave your flesh and you are trapped in tight corridors. :P

Also, can a mod please move this to WADs and Mods?

Why does everyone keep asking why I'm using GZDoom? Just because I'm using an advanced sourceport doesn't mean that converting something simple to it should seem "excessive". It's a convenient platform for my project goals, which is to create an FPS in the style of the 9x screensaver while being as accurate of a recreation of it possible. I chose GZDoom because it suited my needs, it has texture scaling, can be scripted, and I can easily create a simple maze game with monsters roaming, so I figured, why not? Any other engine wouldn't allow me to do some of the tweaks I've done to ensure it's accuracy to the original.

I think it's the other way around--They're crying because you chose not to use UnrealEngine or CryTek

Ok, you just gave me the best idea ever. The maze screensaver shows the walls rising into place when it loads. Put this in. Now since you will have scripted walls instead of constructing a bunch of mazes implement a maze generator in ACS and have the player do a pile of increasingly difficult (to survive) random mazes!

Someone's gotta use that port too and test its features.

You should also make it so the player navigates the maze by himself and that ToB GZDoom runs automatically when I leave my computer idle for 15 minutes.

I think that generated mazes should be doable. I think Nash has created tile-based dungeon generation code over at the ZDoom forums.

Sodaholic: how many weapons and enemies are planned for this?

Minus the random generation, this was already the plan. I'd love to do random generation, but I have no idea what algorithm to use. I'm doing some research now of how to generate them.

If I could somehow implement a feature in it to shut down as soon as any input is delivered (like screensavers are supposed to), I'd gladly attempt this. I'll see what I can do.

jute said:

It's not finalized yet, but probably a fist, pistol, shotgun, machine gun, rocket launcher, and flame thrower.

EDIT: Oops, forgot to comment about the enemies. The most common (and weakest) enemy would be the rat (obviously), but I was considering nazis, and maybe a blob (friend's suggestion, not yet sure if I'll have such an enemy).

If anyone wants to suggest enemy ideas, I'd like some input on that.

Maybe, but I was thinking of having original characters. I'll consider it though.

Also, I've just started on the maze generating code. My friend is going to come over later today to help me port one already written in MS Basic to ACS.

I wonder, is it possible to rip the sprites from video memory while the screensaver is running? If so, what software could I use to do this?

That seems like something you would need a custom, purpose-written video driver for. I could be wrong, though.

Is it possible to "print screen" a screen saver or does that just kill it?

I've tried, and it does not kill the screensaver. It's not a sufficient solution though, all sprites but the rat sprite are semi-transparent, and are too hires to get a good rip from even that, as the view is rendered in 320x240.
