STRIFE- I just played it, well still playing... :)

I know there are enough of these kind of posts but I just needed to tell someone I just dled this STRIFE game and it rocks!!

I want to perfect my mapping skills to the point that I can make stuff for strife, now. If anyone can tell me where to start, that'd be great too.

I think Kaiser did some Tutorials, or was doing something with Strife after SvStrife (Unless Im completely Mistaken)

there hasn't been any real tutorials yet.. Though I've been working on some tutorials for a while now.

Strife is no different than Doom. The only exception is the dialog system and a few special linedefs. Though I haven't finished the tutorials feel free to ask or pester me via irc or email on Strife related questions..

whines*but you haven't gotten back to me on scrolling skies.. hehe jk. I will be sure to, strife is the awesome-est.

You might want to try Zdoom. It supports Strife, more, You can make zdoom-map format maps (hexen map format) with ACS, for Strife.
With decorate You could basically create a new mission pack, or maybe a sequel. The only thing, AFAIK, Zdoom can't do about Strife is the dialogue system. I am aware of Kaiser's dialogue compiler but I have little knowledge on it.

Of course you can! With 2.0.96x you can even define your own actors for use with dialogs.

My Goodness! Why haven't I knew about this oO :D

EDIT:
Hmm.. I'm trying my best at looking up forum.zdoom.org after that but so far I found squat. I'd really appreciate a clear information source for this. Please.

I love it when that happens.

Don't you trust me? I added the 'ConversationID' property to DECORATE myself after Kaiser released his compiler. If you search for that word you should be able to find something. (And btw, the dialog scripts work in all games, not just Strife as long as the maps are called MAPxx.)

No, I trust You, only I was very shocked. This is a great material for me to study due that I'm attempting a conversation system for my Zdoom mod (a bit different from Strife's though...)

And I found the thing and going to play with it :D Thanks Graf. You rule!
Kaiser rocks too ^^

Hey, I made a few monsters for DOOM 2.5 based in Strife sprites, may be you should be interesed. Some of them I think were never used. Zombies with diferent faces and scars, a Z-sec with and without shield, and I'm not sure if something else. Can send you the files if you want.
I'm talking about these

Also, something that not all know, for fun with Zdoom you can add bots also in Strife (as Heretic, Hexen, and of course DOOM).

I was running a ZDoom attempt at making Strife 2 for a little while, but it failed thanks to bad management and lack of skill on my part. BTW, the dailouge system isn't all that hard to use, and can make for some cool stuff in Doom. It screws Coop, however.

Too bad, can you tell us what the general plot would have been? I just beat Strife on training last night and started a new game on Veteran, though I may move to Elite cause I've gotten way better since I started. Can someone post a link to Kaiser's site too?

EDIT: nvym it's on his profile :P

This is a bit off-topic, but how can I get some of these non-Doom FPS's (like Strife, Hexen, Rise of the Triad, etc.) to run without using source ports? Dos Box slows it down to the point where it's unplayable.

I bought Strife for a dollar at Bookmans a while back, it's an excellent game to tweak around with, I enjoy it.

Vegeta, could you send me those Zombie sprites? I've been looking for something better than stock Doom zombies for a "scary" project.

Thanks in advance. caligari.87@gmail.com
