Hacx 2.0 -- Hacxmas Alpha!

[Captain Ventris]

...and then make hand-less, levitating voxel versions of the Hacx weapons, which are then used in Cyberspace. That would be wicked cool.

[Gez]

No, ZDoom doesn't support voxels outside of an incomplete experimental branch.

[DoomsdayOdd]

I agree on the cyberspace levels, they were horrid. level 10 has wicked music though
An Idea for them: give them and the real world complete different sets of enemies, At least at first.


also, does G.E.N.I.E. have the abilty to warp reality? because Im playing HacX .1.2, and if the big G can't warp reality, then this game makes NO flippin' sense, and as someone as obsessed with storytelling as me (yet I still love doom, go figure), such blatant plotholes drive me crazy.

[Xaser]

No worries -- that particular plot point will certainly be covered.

In other news, I noticed that a certain network of Tunnels did little to resemble a Town. So...


Yes, that's MAP02.

Also, for those interested in firepower, a recent build of the Hacx Guns includes brand-new tazer graphics (a la JustinC) and a much-needed nuker upgrade that includes real nukes! Boo-yah!

brand-new tazer graphics (a la JustinC)

Upon seeing them, I literally did this:

[JustinC]

Incidentally Xaser, sorry If I sounded incoherent the last PM, my sleeping pills had kicked in and I'm not sure if I may have typed anything strange, lol. For that matter, if I ever type anything off around here, you guys will know why.

Possibly explaining the Hungry-Man meal in the other thread? =P

The nuker is really nice. As for the tazer, am I the only one who thinks it looks out of place?

It does, a little. It could stand to have the black outline look reduced a bit more.

- The new Tazer behavior has more of an Ethereal Crossbow vibe, but it seems a bit underwelming at times, in terms of damage and multiple kills.
- The new Uzi clip system is excellent. It nerfs the Uzi enough as to not obsolete the pistol, in my opinion, without making it frustrating to use at all.
- The creature which replaces the Mancubus (?) has the flashing eye animation at the end of his Death state - while this looks ominous, it also prevents him from respawning. (Has to stop at an infinite frame for that.) Perhaps have it flash a few times then stop?
- Seems like the Photon 'Zooka could use something a bit more interesting than a RL reskin. At the least, I think it wouldn't hurt to speed up the projectiles a bit.
- Kick needs a sound when hitting a wall. (One thing that always bothered me about DooM.) Also, I hope it will have +NOALERT sometime in the future.
- And of course, my position on forcing jump/crouch off still stands.
- I love the Nuker now, though.

The Photon-Zooka's rockets accelerate greatly after a moment in flight, actually, so the behavior IS different.

I am thinking shell casings for the pistol/Uzi would be cool, and spent magazines for the Uzi when you reload.

Go to the menu, switch both back on, done!

Go to the menu, switch both back on, done!

Every time I start up?

If I knew there were CVars for all the DMFlags options, I'd add them to AutoExec.

[Gez]

Those aren't DM flags, though. They're separate cvars -- sv_allowjump, sv_allowcrouch, sv_nojump and sv_nocrouch. See [wiki=CVARs:Configuration#sv_allowcrouch]wiki[/wiki].

[NeuralStunner]

Aha, that's what I needed. Thanks!

I hadn't noticed that, probably due to being directly behind the missile most of the time. Great idea!

[SamVision]

The new weapons are great

The kick is still a little slow, I liked the fast kick that you had in the original
That electrocuter thing seems fine, its a chainsaw clone but I can't see anything else in it
The pistol is fine too, would love if it was semi-auto
The tazer could do a bit more damage, and the new graphics could be touched up a bit to fit in with the other weapons
The cryogun is fine
The uzi is great, would be better if it fired one shot at a time instead of two, makes it different from the pistol.
The zooka is fine for now
The rod thing still needs to be less of a plasma rifle clone
The nuker... DAMN!
