It is! I just need to adjust the reloading animation for it, but it'll be done probably tonight

Kind of how I imagined it.

I'm parsing SEQ-animation format on original PC version Powerslave. Convert probe you can see on screens)

Finally. some powerslave goodness.

is it far from released, lex?

I know, it's wrong topic for my question, but anyway.
Is this possible to convert any image format into COLORMAP format?

A colormap is just a series of palette indices, like the Doom "flat" format. Unfortunately I've never been able to convert non-square images to flats with Slade, but it should be fine to make a 256x256 image and only use the first 33 rows.

It's better if your image editor can save as a "raw" image, but I use an old version of Paint Shop Pro, and I have no idea if newer programs will even do that.

I wonder if it will feature goodies both from PC and PS1 version? There is a bit different weapons and their behavior.

A 256x34 graphic should be convertible to Doom flat format.

Sorcery! :O

I was never super happy with the way the default player ship model looked in Descent, it was nowhere near as cool as the ship you see in the cinematics, so I decided to try modeling a new one for Descent 2, since I've been toying around with my editing tools again. It works great in game:



Making an actual model and importing it helped shake down many bugs in my export script, polymodel previewer, and importer, since in the past I always tested it with simple test data, so that was a nice experience.

The ship I think is called the Pyro-RX?

And indeed, it looks great! Hell, I'd say it belongs in the game with the rest of the madness abound in the game.

it's the Pyro-GX, probably my favorite ship from the series. the Pyro-GL from Descent 3 always looked really odd to me.

I'm still stupidly pleased with this model, it's a minor thing you'll only see a few times (when dying, when playing MP, or when escaping the mine, since d2x-rebirth can play descent 1 levels or through a hack enable escapes in descent 2 levels), but it looks so much nicer for those few times.

Descentastic! Looks really promising and all. Nice to see that Pyro ship's model got improved as well. And honestly can't wait for more remade ship models of the game.

Not sure why I never got this to work before. I went to try a dev build and conversion is broken entirely.

Spoiler:

I actually get this same error for any image format (including PNG), so I don't think it's conversion-related.

On the plus side, I rolled back to a 3.1 build and the colormap converts just fine.

On the PS1 version is a completely different system of ammo and lives. There are used "spheres" that replenish the ammunition for the weapon that is in the hands at the moment. Lives use "levels" - the ability to dial hp up to 200-300 units (depending on the level).
In the PC version, everything is absolutely the opposite, each weapon has its own ammunition. And instead of "life levels" - the ability to die in the game.
