Is there a link to this mod anywhere? The Dropbox link on the old Samsara Github Wiki is dead.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/323 ... 7-v029.pk3

I can't remember if this is a functioning version or not, I stopped working on it when I started having too much trouble keeping everything working.

But as this was my hero, I still had him around.
Thanks for the link!

Hmm. Seems like using it overwrites all the libraries, effectively reverting the mod back to 0.3. This is probably why a mod/extension system like Reelism would be a good idea for the future...

This means that it can be compatible with future versions since the changes are not so drastic?

It's so cool to see the actors involved with fans work.

have fun making the weapon and class system modular with plain ACS

the only way I can think of is
  1. hijacking a global array to hold every single piece of data about the weapons and classes, and build it at runtime
  2. figure out how to do memory management on it, which will inevitably be error-prone and another source of frustration and things breaking
  3. ... or somehow manage to structure the global array in such a way that it's not necessary

    only way I can think of is basically having what is effectively a 2D array, with rows containing every single data point needed for anything, slapping things onto the end as needed, and searching through them on runtime for what's necessary

    granted, once you find it the first time you can cache it somewhere maybe (assuming nothing gets added in the middle of the game for whatever reason, because then HOO BOY), but you gotta find it in the first place and that takes time
  4. create fifty bajillion helper functions because no one would ever willingly mess with the global array directly
  5. port EVERYTHING in the ACS over, and I'm sure there's stuff in there that no one can explain anymore so good luck
  6. hope it doesn't break
good fucking luck

oh wait, I just remembered another problem with this: with zandronum online play, the client needs to know about the data too, because of pickup messages and probably some other crap! so you gotta do this TWICE, once for the server and once for the client! and you better fucking hope the clients don't get the order wrong, or have any sort of mismatch in their data whatsoever, because if they do, you are screwed, no ifs, ands, or buts.

there's a reason why I stopped trying to get ACS to do complicated things, and you're looking at one of them

If you manage to pull that off, I will more than happily update the Corridor 7 guy for that system, possibly as one of the first.

I know Terminus really liked it, so it seems a worthy endeavor.

Best of luck!

I'm just writing this here to say I'm glad this old mod's being picked up and dusted off again (for both ports, no less)!

That being said, the Quake nailgun's recoil still jackhammers the camera into the ceiling among a few other things.

Jon St. John seems pretty approachable, given just how many goofy stuff he's contributed to. There's Doug Huggem, and there's also this for when you need Duke Nukem to read you the menu of an old text editor.

I wouldn't mind seeing Caleb and Lo-Wang in Samsara 0.32 however leileilol did have a point with Moonman and Gordon Freeman. I would like the two in the mod since they're apart of the build engine saga.

I don't want characters like Gordon Freeman in the mod since well......3-D Weapons wouldn't work well with Samsara to be honest.

Just to let you know I'm working on some improved sprites for BJ. You want you can use them for the mod once they're finished It's up to you of course. :)

Kyle Katarn from Star Wars makes it even more interesting Crossover :D it is a very welcome addition to the Team Heroes of Samsara.

Gez ---> Thanks for the links. :mrgreen:

I agree 3-D characters is strange in the Doom universe and its variations.

Nope, the game was strictly singleplayer so there was no need to make a sprite for him. I've got a Jedi Knight 2 model of his Dark Forces 1 appearance, I just need to either use it to make sprites myself or find someone to make them for me.

Katarn isn't compatible with Hacx because Samsara isn't compatible with Hacx.

Boy oh boy, this is back!

I kinda wanted the Doom64 Marine class to be fixed for this new version, hope its DEV sees this and update it, or maybe someone can base on the mod that uses the original D64 coding and adapt it to work with Samsara.

Hacx I use a compatibility patch https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/114 ... _patch.pk3

For Wad Harmony use another compatibility patch .. Katarn work normally in Harmony.

I found strange work in this and the other does not since both wads use compatibility patch.
