Megamur Posted May 31, 2014 Eris Falling said:Anyway, the aurora isn't intended as the sky, I just did that because we aren't allowed to post the real sky yet. I hope that wasn't the visual clincher of the shot :P Well, it did add to the moodiness of the shot, like some sort of weird greenish dawn coming up over the horizon. But even ignoring that, there's still a large-scale, majestic, mysterious vibe to the shot. It's just so eerily empty, and with this strange thing in the epicenter shooting out a beam of light to the heavens. There's a certain kind of 2001: A Space Odyssey mood to the weirdness. I kind of hope the final area will be this desolate, at least at first. I really don't see this area as being impossible to do in vanilla. At most, you might just have to simplify the curvature of the walls so there's fewer sidedefs drawn. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yeah I've been too used to Boom mapping recently, I think there's a lot of angle changes even less than 20° in the area. Since the player needs to ascend the tower, I need to make it wider, and also put lifts going up. Slower than stairs, but can't be helped sadly, since the rest of the area needs at least a bit more decoration. Teleporter will probably be 128x128, since the beam also needs to be wider, it has issues displaying in chocolate. 0 Share this post Link to post
Devalaous Posted May 31, 2014 Things like is why I generally prefer limit removing in vanilla style to any other map format. Has all the look and gameplay of vanilla, with that extra level of freedom. Anyway, being my birthday, someone totally has to make something crazy in slot 27 :p (Not that I can play anything! Still no news on it) 0 Share this post Link to post

Fellowzdoomer Posted June 1, 2014 When I set it my main IWAD file (I'm the infamous androider), the editor crashes, saying "No Floor/Ceiling Flats Entities" or something like that. Any chance you can add the flag that tells it that's its a flat? 0 Share this post Link to post

Megamur Posted June 6, 2014 I was randomly messing around with Map09, the level I contributed to, testing it for the hundredth time, when I crashed the game with the "P_RemoveActivePlat: can't find plat!" error. According to the Doom Wiki, "This error should never occur." I showed you a thing or two, wiki writer. 0 Share this post Link to post
Devalaous Posted June 6, 2014 Checked in at the computer place, still no news on it, which confused the staff there. Hopefully I'll be able to use my brother's computer during my brief stay there; I have a lot to catch up on, like Doomhuntress' newer midis, Archi's map, Valk's rejected Devilution map, and most notably, Eris' birthday map. 0 Share this post Link to post

When you say Valk's rejected Devilution map, you mean map 31? Also, don't forget Olympus' newly submitted map 02 (modified by me,) and the new map 02 midi. Also Archi's map is finished.

I can see the events just fine. You managed to find the correct event, but now you're manually setting the bend sensitivity to zero. That would result in no change of pitch if the wheel is used. I told you the hardware default is 256. Now, will you be able to edit your songs, yes or no? If you can't, I can - but it'll be taken care of at the end, after all submissions are final. I just want to know for sure who is doing what. 0 Share this post Link to post

Especially a writer who knows more about Doom than we probably ever will. I was making the leap that causes the sector 631 lift to lower. There are two lines that cause that lift to lower--lines 3619 & 3621--that are attached to each other. I'm just guessing, but maybe I crossed them both at the exact same time and that caused Doom to get confused, and it applied the linedef action somewhere it shouldn't have. 0 Share this post Link to post

Seems I'll be out of the house for ten days at minimum, but internet will be plentiful there. Might actually get some stuff done. For now though, Drakengard 3.

CC#6 isn't specific to anything. If you're using it for pitch bend range, you need to set other controllers. This isn't global (at least with format 0, as far as I know) so you need to repeat the code for every channel. http://kurzweil.com/knowledgebase/pc1x/internal_voices-program_mode/33/ 0 Share this post Link to post

TheCupboard said:I can be a beta tester when you guys reach that point. I can do PrBoom, ZDoom, and/or ZDaemon. Chocolate Doom is the target platform. However, it couldn't hurt to have testers trying out other ports as well. But since we don't even have all the maps started yet, beta phase is probably a good distance away. 0 Share this post Link to post
