Gameplay notes:

---

Ion Conduits will explode when damaged. If sliced with the cutter however, they will only discharge when an enemy gets near it.

Item Pickup colors:
Red - Health items. Used automatically when needed.
Purple - Puzzle items. If a puzzle requires an item to advance, the item will be found in the same level. Excluding the Blue and Red keycards.
Gold - Misc items.
Blue - Ammo and Weapons.

Speeder Bikes will take you back to Chibi Base, then return you to the map you left.

Imperial Lambda shuttles can be used to travel to new locations. Simply approach them to use. Some shuttles require a Navigation Card to use, which is found on the same level as the shuttle.

Approaching Shield regenerators can restore up to 100 points of your personal shield. Shield batteries and Stormtrooper Helmets can exceed this amount.

Approaching Medical Droids will restore your health back up to full.

Repair minigame
Some machinery needs to be repaired to advance. This is done by approaching the smoking panel with the fusion cutter selected and 'USE'ing the panel. Hit the repair points that appear in time to increase the repair status up to full.

Tall white containers on shiny floors can be moved. 'USE'ing them will push them. Double 'USE'ing them will pull them.

Grenades are used by holding the 'USE' button before pressing the 'FIRE' button. Available on pistols, rifles, light repeater, and flash cannon.
Fusion Cutter - Recharges itself quickly when not in use.
Chibi Punch - Only available when your weapons are taken away.
Scout Trooper Pistol - Basic starting weapon. Has bash attack.
DH-17 - Upgrades scout trooper pistol. Fires either single accurate shot or four round scattered burst. Has bash attack.
SE-14c Pistol - Replaces either pistol when built. Full auto weapon, heat decreases accuracy. Has bash attack.
A-280 - Simple blaster rifle. Limited clips require reloading. Has bash attack.
E-11 - Replaces the A-280 when picked up. Limited clips require reloading. Has bash attack.
Heavy Rifle - Replaces other rifles when built. Fire three round bursts. Limited clips require reloading. Has bash attack.
Flash Cannon - Fires a burst of blaster shots. The longer it's charged, the more focused the blast will be. Uses special ammunition that must be reloaded. Has bash attack.
T-21 Light Repeating Blaster - Full auto blaster. Heat decreases accuracy. Has bash attack.
Scoped Dawnsorrow - Sniper rifle. 'ALT-FIRE' toggles the scope view. Each shot produces heat. If the weapon overheats it cannot be used until it cools off.
Range Finder - 'ALT-FIRE' toggles the zoom view. When zoomed, 'FIRE' calls a speeder strike against the target location.

Combos - KO'ing enemies quickly will result in a combo bonus. If your health & shields total more then 50, then the bonus will be increased firing rate. Otherwise it grants a reflective shield. An indicator will appear showing the time remaining at the bottom of the screen.

Holocrons - These items are used to build the special items and weapons back at Chibi Base. In the armory select the item you wish to build then 'USE' the work bench to right of the holo display to build it.

Some maps require the defeat of certain enemies to advance. This is indicated at the top of the screen with a status bar.

Some maps require the destruction of generators to advance. The number of generators to destroy is indicated at the top left of the screen.

Dialog is advanced with the 'USE' key.

Some end maps require the destruction of a facility. Chibi Base supplies you with the needed demolition charges. The charges are placed at demolition points in the map by simply 'USE'ing the point.

The sensor pack, once acquired, will reveal the number of monsters, items, and secrets on the current map. Only visible on the expanded hud.

Any NPC with a floating credit symbol can used to purchase items.

Junk can be traded to the Rebel requisition officer for credits.

Heh... looks sweet

[wildweasel]

I look forward to this. I'd probably still be playing the old Chibi Rebellion if I still had it lying around.

[Unknown_Assassin]

I haven't played the old Chibi Rebellion, but I'm interested in playing the upcoming version.

After that is the tedious job of going into the maps (all 55 of them) and replacing the old actors with the new ones.

[LilWhiteMouse]

If you had played either 1.0 or 2.0 (don't think I ever released 2.1), you'd know that the maps are all small, so it's not that many actors per map.

[hnsolo77]

freakin' sweet

im definitely looking forward to this

[Shadelight]

Love the chibi at-at. I've always wondered what that would look like chibified..

[LilWhiteMouse]

Just a status update to let people know I haven't abandoned this yet.

I've almost completed the first pass through all the maps, replacing the old actors with the completely new ones. I still need to go back through and make changes as needed to accommodate the replacements. Keys/locks all need to be changed, and I need to fix the maps that required you to kill actor(s) X to continue.

I have one enemy left to sprite, the generic bounty hunter, though someday I need to go back and redo the royal guard. I'll keep the sprites I rendered for now, but they came out like crap by my standards so I need go back and make a new model at some point. One exception will be the Imperial cargo loader boss. For the time being I've replaced it with another AT-ST until I figure out how I want to handle the loader.

All the actors have DECORATE, but it's all bare bones. Only the snowtrooper, stormtrooper, and AT-AT (not included in v3.0) are actually done. This won't take any time to do though.

Weapons in v3.0 will also be bare bones. I'll use the DF pistol, rifle, and concussion cannon with one idle and attack frame each. The thermal detonator will get moved to the secondary attack button.

I'll keep the original CR skinned Doom hud for v3.0. 3.1 will have a new hud with ripped DF sprites.

AFAIK, when that's all done v3.0 will be complete and I'll then post a copy.

[Enjay]

I knew this was around the corner, but I hadn't seen all those sprites. They look great. The vehicles especially are very cool (I told you I'm a Hoth freak).

[ReX]

I'm a little confused. Is the project going to use models or sprites? Sounds like it's going to be sprites. Why not make the project for GZDooM and use models instead of sprites?

Btw, those models look amazing.

[Ryan Cordell]

Because you could effectively fuck up the ZDoom side if you don't also supply the sprites for 'em.

That, or some people prefer ZDoom much more over GZDoom. (I know I do, I even switched HL onto Software mode since I like it more.)

[LilWhiteMouse]

I'm a little confused. Is the project going to use models or sprites? Sounds like it's going to be sprites. Why not make the project for GZDooM and use models instead of sprites?

Like almost all my projects, I use models to render sprites from, and I only develop for ZDoom.

[EDIT] Maps are all but done, just some last minute clean up and tweaking. DECORATE is mostly done save the bounty hunter, just balancing ATM. Hopefully I'll have an upload by tomorrow night.

you'll also need this file: http://home.midmaine.com/~lilwhitemo/zsw_xx.zip

This is not v3.0, rather I'm calling it 2.9. Everything is done except for fixing bugs. I've already fixed a lot, but given the nature of the project there are undoubtedly a lot more. It'd just be easier with multiple people looking for problems.

For those not familiar, start a new game and hit use when you've read your mission. Proceed through the hub to complete your goal, rinse, and repeat.

There are some known issues:

- Medical kits can be picked up at full health.
- Sometimes the game doesn't register the player hitting 'use' in the beginning, just tap a movement key and try again.
- Boss health bars don't work properly yet.
- On one of the space stations, Stormtroopers can't fire over the railings. I'll fix this in v3.1 when I enhance some of the maps.
- There is no back up weapon. You run out of ammo, just cheat for now.

If anyone is willing to play test, report anything you think is wrong (missing keys, doors that won't open, Doom sprites & actors, etc..). Be sure to look at the automap names, so I don't have to guess *which* Imperial Outpost map you mean.

[Enjay]

I could be doing something wrong but... I can't start a mission because whenever I load the mod it just starts on map01 of Doom2. I'm just loading the zip directly from the command line. Should that be OK?

Anyway, IDCLEVing around a few maps has let me see a few levels and it's been cool so far. However, without starting a mission properly, I'm sure that progression will be messed up somehow.

[LilWhiteMouse]

That's because someone forgot to include the pilot level.
