[WIP] Project ZD3K [update: 14-09-2018] * WIP life

[Enjay]

If I want to make a cutscene skippable, provided that the player sprite is not in the cutscene, I put the player in a small box and freeze him. The walls of the box are set to run the script that skips the cutscene. Freezing the player does not disable the [use] button so I put a message on screen like "Press [use] to skip the cutscene" and if the player does press use, the scrip gets run and the cutscene gets skipped. No need for any custom keys or anything like that.

If you have a long intro cutscene, one way to do it is to put the cutscene in the project as a titlemap. That way the player can see the intro any time they start ZDoom with the project loaded but if they don't want to watch it, they can bring up the menu and start a game in the normal way.

Hey enjay old friend

Does thats work when the player is involved in the cutscene?

I have many cutscene where the animation are from camera or interpolation scene, and some where the player see it from his eyes.

Hah, it's good to see you're booting up this mod again after quite some time. I grew really fond of it when I saw it on Newdoom a few years ago, and it's great to see this back.

You can do this without adding any new keybinds:

Code: Select all

script 2 (void)
{
    ACS_Execute(222, 2, 3);    // Execute script that allows terminating the cutscene early
                               // The 2 is this script's number, and
                               // the 3 is the script to execute when this one is terminated early.

   SetPlayerProperty (1, 1, 0); // the player cannot move
   delay(pause*2);
   print(s:"Welcome visitor, please be patient for a moment.");

      }
      delay(pause/4);

Lookin' pretty sweet.

Any way to make these long scripts skippable? I don't like unskippable cutscenes.

They will all be skippable, only few little ones that i wont, but the majority of them will be skippable.

Got Map 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 rebuilded fine and completed.

[Enjay]

Looking good. I suggest that you make the green EDF logo on the crates duller and more in keeping with the numbers on them. ATM it really stands out as a pasted-on graphic.

This is a good sugesstion and a good idea you have Enjay, thos texture are like 8-9 years old.
I didnt had photoshop when i made them from the old crate.

You also gave me the idea to maybe change most of these texture to higher resolution, but this will wait for far later.

I do have much stuff to share at the moment. I am very busy lately with work and with the mod progression.
So here some testing with a communication commlink screen that i am going to add into the game. I have loved this way to interacting with the player back in old classic DeusEx game. Since i have changed and updating the whole game story by alot, seeing other mods made some powerful things, i have to do the same. For now the whole communication commlink is ugly and only serve as testing. I have my brother testing out my current 1st hub with this commlink and hes loving it.

Another thing added into the game is a modification of the SBar into a new one. I am currently using Blue Shadow's nc_custom_hud_v1.5. I found it somewhere in the zdoom ressource forum, i loved it and on how it work. I tried the Doom64 one but it didn't touch my feeling. I plan to modify nc_custom_hud_v1.5 to add more weapons ammo and custom items, as well as a small minimap.

So here is the only screenshot i can share for today.

September 23 Updates.

I have totaly modified Blue Shadow's nc_custom_hud_v1.5 into my own desired usage by now. Every weapons have now its own ammunition, only energy weapons share the same one.

Added Ryan Cordell's weapon that will replace my HR12 (Quake 2's shotgun) into a more doomish graphic.

Added and still in the work of using Sergeant_Mark_IV's brutal doom blood and gore mode to add a more realistic pain and death. I am configuring less gore that brutal doom and also using the gore and blood effect from it i don't like when it's too bloodly lol. I do not want to make the game the same way as brutal doom. As i told Sergeant_Mark_IV when asking his permission to use his work partialy, i am going to stay in this way. I am gonna add my own death effect way if i can, as i am not a graphic guy, im a coder

So here is a screenshot of some gore and blood test by only using death and xdeath state + blood and gore body parts from Brütal Doom v0.16

I haven't shown any sign of life lately. I have been very busy at work and on some big map design. This is at the moment under careful work, this is a crucial area of the game that need some hard decoration. I started adding some 3D Floor, i love them.

This is the new skybox of the whole Space Station hub.


Screenshot 0022 Res: 1920x1080


There is a current bug with this skybox's texture which i don't know what is going on. It just shrink just as i move a little away, and size to normal as i walk back closer... very odd.

This is an area where we start seeing much life in the station, which ain't only a military station.

Just wanted to say that it's *great* to see this mod's comeback, since its feature list sounded quite impressive when I read it in zdoom's wiki.

I have made so many detail work with 3d floor... i had to cut down in many smaller room with these 3d floors, the game was turning down its framerate.
