[WIP] ZDoom Wars (Version 0.85)

[Captain Ventris]

Map command? I should just be able to idclev to map 9, and play it. And the music does need to be named from the level it is in. Otherwise, you can't hear the music while playing. You just hear the default music for that map.

MAP zMAP09

Type exactly that into the console.

[Mik57]

Alright. Why is it zmap 09 anyway? Is it the ninth one?

[XutaWoo]

The ZMAP is just something random due to ZDoom War being in, well, ZDoom. 9 was just a random number, really.

[Captain Ventris]

I don't know about the crazy obstacle thingies between each segment. I like the concept of forcing monsters onto a path to wind across, but some have +DROPOFF, and I don't want to take it off, because it would be silly if your entire army was stopped by a staircase. Possibly increase the roof height, to accommodate for enormous units like Inquisitors and Maulator. Good work so far, and thanks for your efforts!

EDIT: Oh, and the map causes the console to vomit forth a constant stream of ACS errors, and the players don't regenerate mana. D:

[XutaWoo]

That's probally because the script lump in the ZDoom Wars main file is called behavior. Recompile it with another name, and remember to change the name in the #library "". I will increase the ceiling of the path, though.

[Mik57]

K. I don't really know much about scripting, just the extremely basic stuff. So, if anyone wants to script my maps, feel free to.

Just finished one of the outposts, now I need 1 more outpost and the main fortress, then copy paste, small modifications, and Im done. Woo!

Alright, I'll get to that. Thanks again.

EDIT: Okay, there are no longer conflicts. Is something supposed to happen in your map, by chance? What do the present ACS scripts do?

[XutaWoo]

Alright, I'll get to that. Thanks again.

The higher part of the cave randomly lowers into a lavapit, which kills most things almost in an instant. It's suposed to stop flooding in the middle.

Also, higher ceiling'd: clicky.

Oh bejeebus. That soudns fun. XD

I'll check out the latest version, and Edit when to comment.

EDIT: The roof height is great now, any ole' thing can fit through easily. However, the height difference between the edge of the pit and the raised part of the cavern is too great for many monsters to cross at all, and it's a little annoying to have half your army end up in holes, waiting for the caverns to lower and kill them.

Perhaps give a warning that the cavern is about to lower, like a brief quake or something. Give at least enough time for the player to clear out, since dying will annihilate your entire army. Good work so far!


In other news, the Lich now has 3 special items (one that makes him a ghost unit, one that scares monsters, and one that drains health from monsters). He's ready to be tested and balanced.

SEND, now!

Edit: Awesome...

[Captain Ventris]

Heh.

Does anyone know a wad from where I can get graphics for a player holding a metal Shield?

Edit: I've decided not to do an Angel OMA. I just don't feel like it. XD However, I would still like to do the Inquisitor OMA.

Inquisitor OMA?

Yes, the one you were doing the recolor for.

EDIT: I would really love to have graphics of some robot fists right now, lol.

[BouncyTEM]

Ah, right, that.

[Captain Ventris]

Ah, right, that.

Heh. It will do minor AOE damage with every step, can fly slowly, has several weapons, can raise a reflective barrier, and will have constantly present armor of a high degree which makes him immune to Blast Damage. Giant Mech smashing action is fun. Anyone know of where I can find robot fists? I would love for it to have a close combat attack.
