okay, my mom's a latin teacher, and I took Latin as well, so I just got confusedBatandy wrote:pĭla,ae does mean ball, but there's also pīla,ae which means pillar.TheLemonLimeBrony wrote:you do realize this means "What is man? A miserable ball of secrets"
I could've used cumulus,i if i wanted something more accurate, but i chose pīla to make the easter egg understandable for people who don't know latin.

You have to bind "Secondary Fire", since in the source game, they are "Subweapons", on actual weapons, like the whip.Roarke wrote:I cannot choose the knife when i use 1 on keyboard or use mouse wheel.

Re: Castlevania: Simon's Destiny [V1.3 OUT!]
I know I have already asked that in youtube, but for any reason, I'm using GzDoom 3.5.0 and Simon's Destiny 1.3, but there's no bumpmaps in my game. Plus, this happens in my game:
Well, not only it's ugly as heck, but it completely ruins the secret for me since I know where there will be breakable walls, weirdly though, this didn't use to happen to me when playing Simon's Destiny 1.2, so I really don't know what have happenned or what I've done since even in default settings this "darker breakable wall" thing happens.

From what i see you are displaying the bumpmaps correctly, speculars are also working fine.JohnVyttalRay wrote:I know I have already asked that in youtube, but for any reason, I'm using GzDoom 3.5.0 and Simon's Destiny 1.3, but there's no bumpmaps in my game. Plus, this happens in my game:

The reasons blocks are darker is because they don't have bumpmaps, i've actually chose to make them like this to give the players more clues for the wall meat (considering in some streams i've seen people skipping blocks which i thought were very obvious, including all the grand cross blocks).

Re: Castlevania: Simon's Destiny [V1.3 OUT!]
Oh well, I don't know to much about bumpmaps, so I thought it wasn't working, thanks for clearing that!
And about the breakable walls thing, I don't know in what conditions those streamers didn't find the breakable walls, but imo, it wasn't that hard to find it, even if they had the same color as the normal ones, since they had cracks on it, I just needed to pay attention to every block I saw. While dong this was kinda boring, I felt rewarded for not having to start everything again. Well, again, I don't know in what conditions those streamers didn't find the breakable walls, but maybe the lack of knowledge of such "mechanic" being present in this mod, was one of the reasons they didn't find it, well, Idk and I may be wrong. Maybe a solution for this would be making those blocks less darker, so they aren't that obvious but something that is different from the normal blocks (I know the breakable walls had cracks before, but a different color tone takes your attention more than cracks). Well, I only find the grand cross block only in the 1st level, even when playing 1.3 (even though I only went to level 4 so far), I don't know if the other ones are like these, but hardly someone's going to look at the ceiling and find that Level 1's Grand Cross, I'm not saying it's too hard to find, (because well, they should since they kill every enemy in the room) I'm trying to say that, at least in the Grand Cross example, not adding bumpmaps won't change anything (at least for me in the levels 1-3, since I don't know if other people could find those easier than me).
Plus, I know this kinda doesn't apply to this subject, but since I've already done a post: Simon and Richter in Smash are really cool, right?

Re: Castlevania: Simon's Destiny [V1.3 OUT!]
Gotta say, loved this mod for the most part, aside from the final stretch of Stage 5. It felt a little unfair being hit by medusa heads on two sides when I'm busy focusing on one and can't see the other.
Also, I think the "All Clear" theme you chose is a little low quality compared to the other tracks you used. Castlevania Judgment has a pretty good version of the jingle in question though you might want to update the mod with:

Just a thought.

Re: Castlevania: Simon's Destiny [V1.3 OUT!]
I would like to add intensity to my adventure and I know how. Using other Castlevania Music Tracks instead of the default or classic ones. For example, I would use "Vampire Killer" from Castlevania Judgement, and "Nothing to Lose" from Castlevania Harmony of Despair... Also, once it is available, you can put "Out of Time" from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. I hope this become reality in the future~ I'm in love with the mod. Very challenging and fun to play!

I can't launch the game, I try using GZDoom (Mac Version) and I keep getting "Script error, 'Castlevania.ipk3:dec_weps' line 87 Invalid parameter a_overlay error" https://i.imgur.com/8JEkkdR.png Link to the image.

Re: Castlevania: Simon's Destiny [V1.3 OUT!]
I don't know what version of GZDoom you're using, but I see it's loading FMOD, which means it must be a very old one.

Re: Castlevania: Simon's Destiny [V1.3 OUT!]
Thank you it worked updating to a new GZDoom version fixed it.
Re: Castlevania: Simon's Destiny [V1.3 OUT!]
I finally got the time to sit down and play this and I find the first boss to be basically impossible. It does a ridiculous amount of damage and moves too erratically for the me get some good hits in with the whip. But even if I manage to hit the bastard I only do pitiful amounts of damage. It seems like the boss was specifically designed to be beaten with the knife subweapon and without it the boss is basically impossible.

While the Knife sub-weapon does work wonders against the Giant Bat, the Stopwatch sub-weapon is also a viable alternative, if you're fine with the heart cost. It'll stop the Giant Bat, leaving him wide open for the Vampire Killer.SamVision wrote:I finally got the time to sit down and play this and I find the first boss to be basically impossible.

Outside of those options, yeah, he can be quite erratic in his movements.
