Sorry to disappoint you, but that's KMQuake 2

Fair enough, you just can't be sure these days...

Are you rebuilding these 100% from scratch or have you dug into the PSX file formats?

[MaxED]

The level is based on N64 version. In PSX version only the first level is different, in N64 version almost all levels are different (there is at least 1 level adopted from The Reckoning mission pack. There may be more, but I haven't played the whole N64 version yet).
I didn't crack the original rom format, but I've found the way to capture both textures and map geometry.

Fun times, then. Hopefully you manage regular releases so that this stuff doesn't get lost if you lose interest! You might inspire someone knowledgeable to help...

MetaDoom has an Ironman mode in the form of Ultra-Nightmare. The Game Over sequence isn't finished yet (I want to smear stats all over it) but it's already chock full of pathos.

so it autosaves twice when you die?
too bad i use a custom bind for quicksaving that doesn't use the built-in one :v

I can't stop any form of saving whatsoever, the engine just won't allow that, I just hope that this gentle nudge will encourage people to play along, because it's simply fun to see how far you can get on one life.

... Which, if you use, you've missed the entire point.

There's nothing to Ultra-Nightmare! that isn't also part of another difficulty, besides starting from square one when you die. Going "but I can manually save!", to be blunt, just makes you look like an idiot because why would you pick Ultra-Nightmare! if you were just going to use saves anyway?

It's like loading up a mod that removes weapon pick ups from the vanilla maps so you're forced to Tyson levels, but then you go ahead and cheat yourself the weapons anyway. Good job being defiant towards yourself, I guess?

maybe i will do better on Ultra-Nightmare here than i did in Doom 4!

AVP News!
I think... I really like where I go with that! When ANDROSIS meet ALIENS!
I know... he really need a mask!

Code: Select all

#define TOWERDOORPOLYOBJ 6
#define TOWERDOORFLOOR 107
#define TOWERDOORLINES 108
#define TOWERDOORHEIGHT 192

script "hp_towerDoorOpen" (void) {
	// slide the polyobj back
	polyObj_move(TOWERDOORPOLYOBJ, 8, 192, 32);
	polyWait(TOWERDOORPOLYOBJ);
	delay(35);
	
	// raise the floor, then hide the polyobj
	floor_raiseInstant(TOWERDOORFLOOR, 0, TOWERDOORHEIGHT / 8); // height is * 8
	changeFloor(TOWERDOORFLOOR, "textures/GroundsHub/HogBrick2_GH1.png");
	setLineTexture(TOWERDOORLINES, SIDE_FRONT, TEXTURE_MIDDLE, "texempty"); // hopefully this is enough to unset 3dmidtex
	delay(1); // just incase
	
	// lower the floor
	floor_lowerByValue(TOWERDOORFLOOR, 16, TOWERDOORHEIGHT - 4);
	tagWait(TOWERDOORFLOOR);
}

for a second i thought you had a proper 3d polyobject there
also it may just be compression of the gif, but your crosshair appears to be having a party

[Captain J]

compression of the gif, i guess. It sure enjoys party with the mr. fancy ACS door!

Anyway real amazing and wonderful door script, Arookas! Hope there will be some other variations!
