Re: Splatterhouse 3D - Episode 1

Thanks for the tut, man. I think I got it working and I've updated the demo.
Episode 2 will be based on a mix of the Japanese and US versions of part 2 for the genesis (and probably more of my old screenplay stuff). I don't know what I'll do for 3 yet. I was hoping to do a community episode if other mappers wanted to join in, but last time i tried that it fell through.Janus3003 wrote:Great mod! I'd heard of the Splatterhouse series before and knew a few things about it, but I had never played it. This mod made me actually try the series out. Are future episodes going to be based on the second and third games?
That screenshot looks pretty nice, but gamma correction basically just tints the screen darker, not the environment. The ambient lighting option was removed because it was causing problems, so it's no longer an option in gzdoom. I guess if they really want they can decrease gamma to make it darker.Janus3003 wrote: Regarding lighting options, I found that turning Gamma Correction down all the way and setting the sector mode to Dark worked pretty well.
I do believe ImpieTwo is the maker of those, yes.
Yeah that's me. If you play the crappy old version, you can see that the doom version levels are remakes of the originals that I made for those games. I'll do the same with the second game for episode 2.Bigger C wrote:I do believe ImpieTwo is the maker of those, yes.
I think most of the enemies are unable to infight for that reason. I'm trying to remember the few that do besides the ghost maids, and i may disable it for all monsters, though they can still damage each other.Enjay wrote:Good fun. As with your other mods, it has a nice "complete package" feel to it rather than merely a bolt-on mod (although that does get lost quite a bit when the enemies and scenerey become much more Doomy). Progression through the maps is nice and logical. It's a shame that most of the new enemies only have front-view sprites, but completely understandable and, because it's consistent, it looks OK most of the time but if infighting happens (or a multiplayer game is possible) sprites facing you while attacking someone else look weird.
I'm also not convinced that the "virtual reality" fist works well; especially seeing as how none of the other HUD sprites are set up in that kind of way. However, again, I get why it's done like that.
Understtod - but later on most of the monsters you encounter are based on Doom ones and they have both a different graphic styles and multiple angles. Are there any more splatterhouse monsters (or monsters in that style) available that could be used instead of the Doom ones? I find the contrast quite jarring and very unlike your usual approach to the game's bestiarry (one of the reasons that I like the Juno mods so much).ImpieTwo wrote:I think most of the enemies are unable to infight for that reason.

I don't suppose there is an "uppercut" punch animation anywhere is there - if the arm came up from the bottom of the screen the edge problem wouldn't exist.ImpieTwo wrote:Also the fist is the only graphic where perspective is an issue, so that's probably why. I dunno what else I can do about it.
Wait, which ones are based on Doom monsters? I hope the mod isn't glitched out and using actual Doom critters instead...Enjay wrote: Understtod - but later on most of the monsters you encounter are based on Doom ones and they have both a different graphic styles and multiple angles.

Take your pick of these (and more).ImpieTwo wrote:Wait, which ones are based on Doom monsters? I hope the mod isn't glitched out and using actual Doom critters instead...
