Arioch Posted November 4, 2001 Mordeth has updated the Mordeth TC Site with the latest progress report on the Mordeth TC project. The major portion of the update is consumed by a short description of a neat combination of effects Mordeth has discovered that involve, among other things, the simple 3D bridge effect and result in the appearance of a structure suspended above water. Head on over to the Mordeth page and check out the screenshots! 0 Share this post Link to post

Lazer Posted November 5, 2001 I was going to use that as an original trick!!!! Now it isn't so original!!! Oh well, the way I have it planned is slightly different anyway... 0 Share this post Link to post

mystic Posted November 5, 2001 I think theres a bridge like that in Fetaldm7, its a really neat trick but Im still trying to get my head round the instructions. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Argh! Posted November 5, 2001 Wasn't that trick used way back in Fingers' addictiv.wad? Map06, the bridge over water in the upper area, to be exact. 0 Share this post Link to post
mystic Posted November 5, 2001 Yeah, its in addictive. Wow, I loved that wad, it made me realise what a crap mapper I am. The sort of levels you can happily just walk around admiring the architecture. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Andy Olivera Posted November 5, 2001 Damn, for a moment I thought I had an original effect on my hands. You just had to go and ruin it.:-) It wouldn't be too hard to make this a true 3D structure, either... 0 Share this post Link to post
Mordeth Posted November 5, 2001 The 3D bridge-with-faked-floortexture is indeed in Addictiv (and a plethora of other levels). The basics of the house-on-stilts is the same... the removal of lower textures on a raised platform so you can look 'underneath' it. But, that's not all to it. The same thing is done for the walls you see, except the other way around. Plus, all this is combined (which needs some adjustment to the way you construct the faked-bridge effect, as those sectors normally cannot touch because that will cause HOM). Plus, then you need to find a way to insert doors and windows into those walls, and a way to insert pillars underneath the house (and not just at the corners), raised floors inside the house to create eg. tables, etc etc. So, it did require some creativity from me :) I'll update the Editing Pages with a tutorial "soon". This trick is way to kick-ass to keep for myself. 0 Share this post Link to post
mystic Posted November 5, 2001 I am just amazed you can figure out how to do it. I have had addictiv and fetaldm7 under the microscope for years and still dont know how they did it. Im just glad Legacy added 3D functions so I can stop trying to figure it out. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mordeth Posted November 5, 2001 Mystic, Check out the "faked 3D bridge" tutorial on Doomworld's editing pages. The basic principle is real simple... just create your average raised platform and remove the lower textures. That's all. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doom Posted November 5, 2001 what are the new zombie sprites mordeth 2 needs? i'm asking because i'm making zombie sprites for a project of mine, who knows, they might fit in mordeth, at least a couple of them.. 0 Share this post Link to post
mystic Posted November 5, 2001 I do visit your pages, Im just useless at reading instructions. I tend to analyse the wads and make my own notes, then lose the notes and cant be arsed doing it all over again. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest UAC PR Dept. Posted November 5, 2001 Notes actually help you memorize. Restating something in simplest terms (or, if you are a complex person, in complex terms--whatever works best for the subject) is the best mnemonic device... 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted November 5, 2001 Notes just help me create a mess around my computer making it impossible to find anything I actually need. 0 Share this post Link to post

Metabolist Posted November 8, 2001 I've tried to do that trick with DETH and BSP, but the flats just leak out the sides. 0 Share this post Link to post
