You can thank BioHazard working somewhere around 40 hours or so on that... he has learned to hate cameras and Colony.it.

I have the image, but every end sequence looks for exittext (even next endpic) and changes the music. If the image could be put in as a full screen HUDmessage, then we won't have to worry about either the text or the music. I'd do it but I fear messing up the beautiful ending sequence. Anyway, I'm posting up the image and someone can finish from there with whatever works best.

And if someone wants to stick my name somewhere in a tiny credit line, that'd be cool.

Edit: It's done now. Finish the wad to see the cool endpic!

I thought a great part of this map was the boss fight and it didn't get any mention in the credit flythrough, so I chose that as the focus. Names of contributers are behind, but they are set back so they don't conflict with the other visuals. Some were necessarily hidden behind stuff, so I'm sorry if you can't find your name. If people object to this greatly then I'll revise it, but I like it as it is now. I tried to follow Tormentor's general visual style of heavy texture and effect, combined with layered images and transparency. I think it fits in. And look, I've even left an extra hour.

That's a kickass picture.

(only I'm not mentioned...)

So, I see you like my boss enemy.

If someone get the chance (*coughTormentorcough*) could you please change the linedefs in my label to be always shown on the automap - they are quite useless ATM.

ill incorperate it into the credits real quick like...

i dont see what you guys like so much about those cameras... they are just... um... cameras... i didnt get to do half of the cool stuff i wanted to do

hmm, nevermind... i cant think of a way to get it to appear without it going "BAM" onto the screen real abrupt like... (i want HUDMSG_FADEON!

)

How about putting it on a wall in a dark sector, then changing to a camera that looks at the wall then raising the light level in the sector it is in?

i thought of that, but it would be quite difficult to make a wall thats 640x480units, and it would be difficult to place a camera far enough away to see it all. i was going to do this in the credits sequence, but it was too difficult (and i was only using 512x384!)

If you need help just take a look at the first map of DSV5 which is doing exactly that.

I know there's at least one name hiding behind the big 1... but Giest should not be complaining, his boss is in the picture!

Bio: Try using a fullscreen black hudmessage on top of it that fades out, maybe?

Great picture

Just tell me as soon as you guys have finished implementing it

Post by **Enjay** » Wed Aug 25, 2004 9:25 am

Instead of making a 640x480 wall, make the texture hi-res instead and then you can have the camera closer.

(Also, the texture may need to have more standard Doom texture relative dimensions - easily achievable by adding black borders or something - not sure if it is actually needed though.)

@Bio - If you add Risen, you can also add me to a GFX part with him (for titlepic & interpic)

Tiny bug report:

In the sewers, one linedef of the railing, looking outward, into the sewage, has the railing texture misaligned and floating in the air.

Coords:
x: -4689
y: -2856
