The WIP Thread

[TheAdmantArchvile]

I'm doing an edit of zblood to make it more like blood, right now I'm working on the maps fixing the weapon placement, now you get TNT at the start secret, no voodoo doll or chainsaw

Just how many fucking projects are you working on now? You've got this, that Ghouls thing, and the "Re-Make" of Nazi Afersthung. You'll get bogged down preety fast, if you keep this up.

Heavily screwing with id tech 3 to make it compatible with PowerVR PCX2 more.

basically I'm trying to do it when a PCX1 or PCX2's in use, it'll parse all shaders with the //PCXHACK comment (commented for backwards compatibility). //PCXHACK would usually follow a new shader command called alphahack which would signal the texture loader to produce or demote an alpha channel from the texture.
Since shaders are loaded in order I can't do this to existing shaders (yeah, finding all blendFunc adds and applying alphahack appropriately before texture loading would be ideal). I have to specify alphahack BEFORE the map command. You might think "waste of time use blendfunc" well guess what genius - you can't specify blending modes on vintage PowerVR. It's always, ALWAYS alpha blended.

In addition to that, to debug the whole thing on non-PCX hardware, i've forced the gl state to alphablend everything.

I actually find it quite fun to rework a whole game to use alpha blending. Even the dynamic lights use it now.

Give it a call and see if you can't ring up a wannabe private investigator from the 1980's. =P

I don't get what that thing is

At the risk of accidentally hyping this too much, I've been working on a detective visual novel using Ren'py. I finished writing the first complete case early this week and have spent the time since then with gathering photos for background images, sound effects to play, stuff like that.

With any luck, I might be able to have this out in April, but knowing me, I'll miss that.

I wish I could draw like eriances

Spoiler:

revised rough stupid concept sketch of a certain OA character for simplification

- two fat blades on each arm rather than 1 thin blade
- teeth motif instead of feathered wings
- huge poly saving scarf sporting shitapai, instead of a sling
- no more boots
- she'll ride something

I am currently working on a Hell freezes over WAD which includes ofcourse freeze weapons, new levels, new textures, odd monsters oh and how could I forget "Easter eggs." However for now i've only done 1 weapon, 5 monsters, made atleast 2 textures, 1 map, and a few death/freeze sprites. I'm just lazy I guess, however it is my MOD so I plan on not to release it in WIP untill the whole entire full version is done P.s I managed to make some sprites where you can freeze the enemy and basicly blow them into pieces (I actually think Mark would love this for BD) if you punch them or shoot them.

They're not hard to draw:

I meant that as in I have 0 drawing ability

[Trance]

I know. It was a joke.

This problem, of course, can be solved with a little motivation to actually learn.

EDIT:

Spoiler:

Still working on that thing for portal. Someone might be able to identify it from this screenshot.
