The WIP Thread

[Rachael]

Anything 640 wide should be fine. You missed the much bigger images that once existed in this thread.

Should add ragdoll physics and a model format that supports it

Wait, you can do ragdoll physics with models in GZDoom?

Until actors can truly rotate freely in all degrees, it's 100% impossible (something that's facing upwards can't tilt to the side in any way). Otherwise you could theoretically code some kind of multi-actor A_Warp abomination

MUST. HAVE. CYBERDOG.
Why do I get the strange feeling that this should be in some expansion of Reelism??? XD

Won't stop anyone from using it for that once released!

Reminds me of the toaster-robodog from Secret of Evermore.

It toasts, but it doesn't toast toast!

Please shrink your image; it is much too large for most browsers.

Oh, So you want my imgur images to be smaller next time? I assumed 640x480 would have been much better compared to the usual 1080p / 4k screen caps I usually do. lol

I can try going 1 smaller next time friend. ;p

640 wide is fine (the Large Thumbnail setting in imgur is closest equivalent to it).

[doomfiend]

alright, its usually best to double check, I remember i had you edit my links in spoilers because I couldn't at the time figure out how to get imgur to make a thumbnail

[Zanieon]

Finished texturizing and importing Venara into UE4, now i need get cloth physics working on her coat and hair.


Also... at a closer look, it can be seen that she is Aimbot/Wallhack.

[GENTEK]

Wow! Really impressive Zanieon!

[kodi]

I'm sure that i can make it better, but i don't know how.

I was thinking a bit about this: In the hardware renderer, I think you could spawn +FLATSPRITE shadow actors on anything near a light source. The sprite itself would be upright rather than parallel to the floor, but the shadow actor would be pitched straight up and thus lie on the floor anyway - this should allow you to stretch the length of the shadow (like that laser beam thing I did fairly long ago) depending on it's distance to the light source by altering the Y scale of the shadow actor. Then throw A_CopySpriteFrame into the loop so it copies the sprite of the monster - perhaps you could even use A_SetSpriteRotation so the side view sprite of the actor is used rather than the frontal view if it's lit from the side.

That's nice, but the sad thing is that i'm stuck at a 2014 SVN build since my pc won't support opengl 3.x, so i don't have a way to test it on hardware renderer aside from ZDoom itself.

And also, i've tried the spawning based on distance which is more optimal IMO instead of the current method, but i haven't figured out how to check if there's already a shadowactor for a specific shadowtarget, since all my attempts ended up by spawning like 10 shadows for the same lightsource.

And i have a thread about this and the code is on Github, if you someday want to contribute.

@Weasel: I meant I was on mobile and away from my computer at the time.

get psyched

You have my attention! I'm intrigued - is this (your interpretation of) what DooM would have been if the plot and level layouts were changed to mimic Wolfenstein?

yes that's what i was going for,unfortunately a day after i posted the screenshot my pc died and i couldn't get it working due to a dead power supply from not dusting it and not having the money to replace it (useing an old pc) so i've lost all progress until then it will be a while before i can show you all more I apologize

updating my old ZBlood project, Testing out the new voxel graves.

[Captain J]

Now finally zblood has voxel models what the original game had? What a great change!

Ten years and finally it was worth it.

ragdoll physics

Here's what dpJudas said about the idea of native in-engine ragdoll physics.

What kodi said is borderline do-able though (through ZScript, any other way would just be horrifying), but your characters will probably have the segmented, Morrowind/pre-2000s look, and it'll probably be annoying to do. You'll have to make your own data structures, to store the bounding box and rotation anchor point for each limb. And it'll probably be very slow. XD

I've done barebone car physics through ACS (yucccckkkkkkkkkk) so it's definitely possible, just annoying.

[kodi]

@nash
I've written half a car physics system as well, though only the angular and linear drag/momentum part.

Did you come up with a solution for applying roll at high pitch? I gave up completely on that when I experimented with a cursor-tracking 3d pistol long ago, so I didn't even bother with a slope alignment system for the car.
