[p29] Reelism 2 - Version 1.21 Released! Bugfixes 'n' such

[Kinsie]

What should i do if i want to save the current score in Infinite Mode while Enable Respawn is on?

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this."

EDIT: El Tyrante blew me up to bits and that popped another concern of mine. Assault Troopers' jetpack sound wont stop playing when they get gibbed.

Fixed for next version, thanks.

In C***** ***** **** *****, there are two places Big NPCs often get stuck. Including the player.

At some point I need to do a big "Yeti pass" to ensure all monster spawns are good for larger monsters. Bits where the Tank kinda gets stuck due to its height probably won't be fixed, though.

I've been playing this for a while. Got the new GZDoom version, fiddled with the settings, realised that I forgot to remove the old version from the launch order... it works. I found a placeholder dialogue in Town, though I can't upload screenshots. I also encountered what I suppose is a bug, namely that the Gun-Gun won't fire during a Gunfinity round.

I don't usually enjoy games this heavily reliant on RNG, but Reelism is actually pretty damn fun, helped by most rounds lasting about ten to fifteen minutes. Less if you lose.

edit: I've been playing some more and... what's the deal with the Orb, anyway? It costs ten thousand points to buy, and the only time I've thus far actually tried to use it it instantly killed me, on a run I'd probably have won if I hadn't tried to see what it did. The tip I got afterwards said that "it feeds on the chaos in the soul of its owner", whatever that means. Can someone spoiler it for me, please?

Occasionally, the following can happen when playing with enabled player respawns:

For some reason, the score goes into negative numbers instead of just a 25% point penalty being incurred. It is then reset to zero, so there's that, but the points from before are lost.

This has happened three times (that I've noticed), and I don't see any pattern: Once on a bonus map, twice on a regular map, the latter both times in the same map session; standard play and endurance mode; death by leaving the area and by a regular enemy. I don't think it ever happened with the first death of the session, but I may be wrong, plus the following deaths in a session were usually fine.

I am using GZDOOM with Doom II as the WAD. Reelism II is the only PK3 I've added. When I attempt to launch it, I get this:

Execution could not continue.

4 errors while parsing DECORATE scripts

So what do I need to do to get this amazing mod to run?

[wildweasel]

If you're getting errors about unknown functions, you may need to update your GZDoom version. The current stable release is 4.7.1; if you aren't running that, you will need to update to it.

[SpiffyInfo]

Yup. That was the problem. Guess I kept looking in the wrong place for updated GZDoom. Thanks! It runs fine now.

- Hand Grenades go through Quake 1 Zombies for some reason.

- It happened in Bouncy's addon map but Sentry Drones happen to disappear when they sent flying by an explosion and then land on texture-less map units. You know, the ones from Doom 2's MAP32 Grosse?

- Feels like Mjolnir doesn't appreciate Stairs. The ground lightning never clips on them.

So, i've discovered an...interesting conundrum with boss rush with a reel I'm working on.

So I have a two-stage boss, and the first phase is flying. However, if they've gone out of bounds of the arena while they're in the air, and that's when they're killed, the second stage will spawn in the bottom pit - completely out of your reach, making progressing past their wave impossible.

That's...not good, I think. D:

Hi! We encountered this problem when working on bosses, and we came up with a good workaround. If the second phase of the boss takes either Exit or WaterExit damage -- which should only happen if they fall in a pit -- teleport them back to the boss spawner! This will make sure they always stay in the field of play if they go out-of-bounds.

This code is lightly modified from an actor included with Reelism 2:

Code: Select all • Expand view

override int DamageMobj(Actor inflictor, Actor source, int damage, Name mod, int flags, double angle)
{
   // If we exit the map, take no damage and
   // return us to starting position
   if (mod == "Exit" || mod == "WaterExit")
   {
      damage = 0;
      
      ThinkerIterator it = ThinkerIterator.Create("Splot_BossSpawner");
      Actor mo;
      while (mo = Splot_BossSpawner(it.Next()))
      {
         TeleportMove(mo.pos, true); // telefrag
         A_SpawnItem("Splot_TeleportFog");
      }
   }
   
   return Super.DamageMobj(inflictor, source, damage, mod, flags, angle);
}

I think I can provide a hint about pulling values from MAPINFO. There exists LevelInfo struct which is populated by MAPINFO data.

It's defined in gzdoom.pk3/zscript/doombase.zs as :

Code: Select all • Expand view

struct LevelInfo native
{
   native readonly int levelnum;
   native readonly String MapName;
   native readonly String NextMap;
   native readonly String NextSecretMap;
   native readonly String SkyPic1;
   native readonly String SkyPic2;
   native readonly String F1Pic;
   native readonly int cluster;
   native readonly int partime;
   native readonly int sucktime;
   native readonly int flags;
   native readonly int flags2;
   native readonly int flags3;
   native readonly String Music;
   native readonly String LevelName;
   native readonly String AuthorName;
   native readonly int musicorder;
   native readonly float skyspeed1;
   native readonly float skyspeed2;
   native readonly int cdtrack;
   native readonly double gravity;
   native readonly double aircontrol;
   native readonly int airsupply;
   native readonly int compatflags;
   native readonly int compatflags2;
   native readonly name deathsequence;
   native readonly int fogdensity;
   native readonly int outsidefogdensity;
   native readonly int skyfog;
   native readonly float pixelstretch;
   native readonly name RedirectType;
   native readonly String RedirectMapName;
   native readonly double teamdamage;

   native bool isValid() const;
   native String LookupLevelName() const;

   native static int GetLevelInfoCount();
   native static LevelInfo GetLevelInfo(int index);
   native static LevelInfo FindLevelInfo(String mapname);
   native static LevelInfo FindLevelByNum(int num);
   native static bool MapExists(String mapname);
   native static String MapChecksum(String mapname);
}

I did not find a way to determine PWAD from level data though.

if there was anything this mod needs, it would be a google drive link

[Kinsie]

if there was anything this mod needs, it would be a google drive link

...why? We have it hosted on our own server without any ads or whatever.

Honestly very confused by this.

just download speeds are much more consistent.
it doesn't actually matter, being only ~110mb

--EDIT--
is there a way to get multiplayer working for this?
getting error

--EDIT2--
The game doesn't have a save button but when finishing a round it says you can close and it'll be saved (replacement autosave message)

Perfect! That's exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Don't set your ZDL or whatever to start from MAP01!
