Blasphemer discussion

Hmm, that's strange, it works for me

Welp, I'll look into it later.

Is this project dead?

On hold, like usual, someday it will resume. 

Personally i was trying do make another map, but i had to switch computer and then suffered an hard drive failure on the new pc, so my motivation collapsed a little bit lately.

Funny. I felt like I was forgetting about something, Do we still have a list up of the things missing?

Apparently, last time i messed with it i was lazy and didn't updated the sprite completion list... Just as a reminde, the "wiki" is here: https://github.com/Blasphemer/blasphemer/wiki

With that out of the way, the big things we are missing are:

1) a replacement for the chicken (both weapon and model)
2) touching up the vulcano's sprites\ sounds (need to look into it again to be sure)

3) 2 more maps to fill the firt two episodes

4) finding sprites for the maulotaurus and de'sparil

Honestly i'm going by memory, and i need some time to dig in and compile a list of what is missing, since the big bulk of it are missing projectile sprites or puffs that are barely rememberable.

The first level crashes in chocolate heretic.

Most of the levels are limit removing, so you should play them with that in mind. But just to be sure, what kind of error did it give upon crashing?

Where's the latest version of the iwad available for download?

The "heretic.wad" in the github repo hasn't changed since 2010 and when I try to build it myself I get the following error regarding a missing WAV:

[... output before this is cut, no warnings or errors before this ...]

Note that ./sounds/blshit.au exists, but as an AU, not a WAV.

I do belive everything is still on the "experimental" branch, so try compiling that instead (or download it from here: https://github.com/Blasphemer/blasphemer/wiki/Experimental-build(s) , i do belive the links are up to date). The merge with the main branch will occurr once we get the missing player sprites (AKA once we reach the current milestone of DM ready).
Regarding the .AU files: they where there in the original repository, i guess they were just placeholders, but i don't know how the compiling process was done back then.

I have produced some more sfxes under BSD license, so they could be used with freedoom project:
https://github.com/saniv/free-game-sfx/tree/master/sound/nikita_sadkov

I'll be sure to give them a proper look once this busy period has ended. Thank you for your contribution.

3) 2 more maps to fill the firt two episodes

it's still needed?

Yep, once we get those we'll have 2 complete episodes worth of material, and a couple of maps would be needed to be modified to include a secret exit for ot to work properly.

Heretic's textures and monsters were more colorful and cartoon-like, the music was more adventurous,

Just because something is colorful doesn't mean it's a freaking cartoon.

Just a quick mention that I still have no idea what's wrong with the teamhellspawn phpBB forum.  You may wish to remove that link from the Blasphemer wiki, as I don't see a fix forthcoming any time soon.  It's probably better to keep all the chat in one place here anyway.

I was wondering what was up with that. Allright, will do.

Sorry, though.  It always had a problem where it would fall over once a month or so, but emptying the sessions table would fix it.  But no idea what's causing the current error.  Probably should have learned some basics for php and SQL before deciding it would be a great idea to host my own forum.  Frankly, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did, heh.

Is there any Rebel Moon/Rebel Moon Rising TC available?

That has nothing to do with the current thread. You should post that somewhere else please.

Could somebody post a link to the latest version of blasphemer?

Sorry, that was a mistake.

Repository to build from: https://github.com/Blasphemer/blasphemer/tree/experimental

Prebuilded Iwad (may be slighly outdated, i can't remember): https://github.com/Blasphemer/blasphemer/wiki/Experimental-build(s)

Have there been any progress on project? I just wonder. Had some ideas for this project, might to share them once I get back home from my current place. It’ll be before Christmas I hope.

and yes I understand this topic was abandoned for quite a long time. Still, it must have some spark of life yet.

It's laid quite dormant. But I have been in the process of attempting of making some midis for the project. I just haven't gotten around to truly submit them if anything. Still needs some tuning up.

Hello there! Yes, the project is dormant, but i'm still keeping an eye on it, since only me and Springy have access to the repository management atm. Personally i took a big break from mapping and i don't know when i'll get back into it (if ever, but i belive), this slowed the already meager progress on the maps development. 

Of course, any ideas and submissions are very welcomed.

Good to know. I’ll contact with you later then.

I'm still lurking in the background.  There's always a small chance the urge to map could strike at some point.

Hi, I'm a pixel artist and a beginning Doom mapper, and I'd like to participate in this project. From what has been said, is working on Maulotaur replacement sprites a good way to start contributing?
