Ultimate Western conversion (beta #3)

[Coraline]

However there is something bizarre going on with this engine, I cannot turn without my frames dropping to 0, makes anything unplayable for me.

That's really strange, on my side I have no problems... I wonder what's causing that FPS drop for you...

Hello,

That's an indication that your system might be using what's called a "Software" OpenGL driver (generally accompanied by a frame rate of 0). There have been a few reports of stability issues - first, make sure you are using the latest release (1.36D-Win32). Next, be sure this is unzipped in a clean folder (not overwriting any other version of EDGE). Finally, make sure you aren't using a render wrapper as 3DGE has no support for something like that. If all else fails, delete your "edge2.cfg" so the engine can revert to default. Make sure your system has up-to-date video drivers (NOT the packed-in versions that ship with Windows).

Additionally, in order to properly diagnose the problem, I'll need a copy of your edge2.log and your debug.log. Please, upload them so I can be of assistance. This will tell me exactly what I need to know to fix your problem.

I will look into this and get back to you sir.

Yeah, what he said

[Lippeth]

What in god's name did I ever do to those birds to make them want me dead so bad? It makes me want to shoot a horse, but they seem impervious to bullets, so the chickens have to die.

Seriously, a really fun mod, although I've never been too keen on 3dge. I know I'm not being very original or sensitive for saying that, but I have my reasons.

[CeeJay]

You're the second person to dislike the hawks, and I was never fully keen on them myself (see earlier post). They have been scrapped, but the stray dogs will remain.

A second beta is on the way.

[Lippeth]

I don't necessarily dislike the hawks, though they could be less prevalent as well as doing less damage. Other than that and weapons taking a little too long to reload, everything seems very balanced and satisfying, with awesome graphics and sound.

Better idea, let the hawk be neutral, and if it gets hit by anything, it goes after the nearest target. lol

I did put focus on getting the reloading as fast as possible, it's still much faster than you would expect in real life. The revolver reloads pretty darn fast in my opinion (a little too fast actually) as well as the sawed-off (individual one), real revolvers of the old west did not reload like that (i've done my research). I did just recently slightly increase the speed of the reloading for the double-barreled shotgun. This simply changes gameplay, you'll have to use different tactics than you would in Doom.

---

BARE HANDS

When all else fails and you run dry on ammo it's time to open up a can of whoop-ass on them varmints.




BIG BLADE

Razor sharp and surprisingly light, you'll hack and slash your way through hordes of baddies.




SIX-SHOOTER

Accurate but with a mild lethal range and a shot capacity of only six bullets.




DUAL SIX-SHOOTERS

Twice the fun, twice the reload time.




WINCHESTER REPEATING RIFLE

Great stopping power, outstanding accuracy and long lethal range along with a near endless capacity of shots.




SAWED-OFF SINGLE-BARRELED SHOTGUN

One barrel o' death, delivers a pelting from a distance but tears it's enemies apart from up close.




DUAL SHOTGUNS

Twice the death but with the longest reload time of all weapons.




DOUBLE-BARRELED COACH GUN

Like the shotgun but with two barrels and firing them one right after the other in quick succession. Capable of taking out numerous baddies in one blow.




DYNAMITE

Send 'em flying sky high with highly explosive sticks of dynamite, can be tossed at a distance or be planted on the ground serving as a trap for unsuspecting foes.




GATLING GUN
Mow down hundreds of enemies without even breaking a sweat, comes at the cost of immobility when weapon is equipped.





CANNON

[Captain J]

i think if gatling gun shading is doesn't work for you, you should replace that dynamite sprite. that's really don't fits at doom's graphic.
how about use outlaw's dynamite with among gatling gun? that was not drawn thing, it was 3d model though.

[CeeJay]

I've already just moments ago replaced the dynamite sprites with new ones

[Mav3rick]

oh nice, a new version and thanks for the little improvements

[CeeJay]

New beta:
http://www.mediafire.com/?plwjdwy34sddt4j

Smoother fist animation along with an added secondary attack (uppercut)
Improved Winchester animation
Picking up all badges on current level gives you a bonus
New sprites and graphics for the dynamite (still work-in-progress)

New and better barrels
Chickens can be kicked and killed
All "living creatures" can be gibbed (vultures, girls, etc.)
