The WIP Thread

[NeuralStunner]

With Parkour, it's the armpits. Zharkov has universe-bending powers, so he can do what he wants, usually.

I wonder what it'd be like to combine the two...

Zharkour.

Pure awesome. That is all.

[Gez]

@Gez: If Duke Nukem can carry 11 weapons weighing a total of at least half a ton, he can bicycle kick.

Uh? Did I say something in my sleep?

You, sir, are a genius.

[Ixnatifual]

My goblin lair and related quests are now finished.

---

Layout of the goblin lair from the editor view.

---

Creating an encounter with a group of goblins.

---

You meet the inhabitants of the dark and filthy mountain tunnels. The keen observer will notice grammatical errors from the editor carry over to the actual game.

---

Goblins are quick to anger when their territory is threatened.

Now all there's left is to finish loads of additional dungeons, several towns, an overland map and a lot of other stuff.

[Ghastly]

Does the editor allow you to create new monsters and similar things?

[Project Shadowcat]

Voxels can be a little tricky sometimes, but I expected them to be when you're not dealing with (one) 2-D plane anymore.
Preparing for the eventual merging of the voxel branch.

[Ghastly]

Preparing for the eventual merging of the voxel branch.

Someone needs to make a tree branch out of voxels now.

[printz]

Especially if it becomes part of the architecture you can climb on.

[Gez]

Do not expect collision boxes to be defined by the voxels.

[Ixnatifual]

Does the editor allow you to create new monsters and similar things?

There's a monster editor built into the game. For example there is only one standard goblin. I didn't like the way it looked in the combat view, so I found some user-made combat icons and made some tweaks to get them the way I wanted. I also thought it was boring to only have one type of goblin, so I replaced some monsters I didn't need - a Black Pudding, a Gorgon and a Draclich, imported goblin archer and wizard icons and played with the images some more so I ended up with a standard melee goblin, an archer goblin, a goblin adept and a goblin king.

I also didn't like the standard goblin portrait and imported another from the massive FRUA image archives available online. You can't make new items or dungeon sets with the editor itself, but hacks exist which allow you to do so.

[phi108]

I made a quick hack to use the voxel shotgun as a weapon, animated (just offsets and angles) at 35 fps, though there is no muzzle flash or hands.

It looks best with cl_capfps 1, otherwize there's double vision.

EDIT: I changed the code to make the shotgun keep up with your movement better.

I also figured out how to use Slab6 to change colors, so I did a few voxel edits. I haven't gotten near as far as PDF.

Shotgun:

I also figured out how to use Slab6 to change colors, so I did a few voxel edits. I haven't gotten near as far as PDF.

That's because I use a completely different program than Slab6. I use Paint 3D (which I did begrudgingly paid money for, but it works SO well...!) to build the single voxel model relatively quickly. Slab6 is used as a conversion tool, though.

Like the shotgun voxel "hack."

EDIT: Speaking of shotguns...

[FuzzballFox]

Building voxel stuff looks fun~
Any advice for anyone completely new to it?

My current models are not from scratch. The shotgun for instance is a layered sprite, predone. I trimmed a few pixels here and there to give it some depth.

[Kinsie]

It's interesting to note that there doesn't seem to be any sprites in the community of a normal, unarmed zombie. Sure, there's zombie guys holding every single weapon known to DECORATE, but no generic shamblers. Weird!
