Duke3D 1.3D double foot

[leileilol]

Back in 1.3D there was once the ability to kick with the mighty foot while the kick weapon is used. they fixed it to have one leg out at a time since 1.4. No more dropkicking etc

Thinking in the context as a gameplay option toggle (that maybe defaults on when a 1.3D GRP is detected)

Oh heh I remember that. Fun times.

Do you have code to enable this thing or an idea where the check is that prevents this?

I have not tested it, but it should be this:

Remove the checks for curr_weapon and kickback_pic

Code: Select all

    if (TEST_SYNC_KEY(playerBits, SK_QUICK_KICK) && pPlayer->quick_kick == 0)
        if (PWEAPON(playerNum, pPlayer->curr_weapon, WorksLike) != KNEE_WEAPON || pPlayer->kickback_pic == 0)
        {
            if (VM_OnEvent(EVENT_QUICKKICK,g_player[playerNum].ps->i,playerNum) == 0)
            {
                pPlayer->quick_kick = 14;
                if (pPlayer->fta == 0 || pPlayer->ftq == 80)
                    P_DoQuote(QUOTE_MIGHTY_FOOT,pPlayer);
            }
        }

Remove the checks for curr_weapon and kickback_pic

Code: Select all

                    || ((moveFlags & pkicking)
                        && (vm.pPlayer->quick_kick > 0
                            || (PWEAPON(vm.playerNum, vm.pPlayer->curr_weapon, WorksLike) == KNEE_WEAPON && vm.pPlayer->kickback_pic > 0)))

On theory the quick_kick check here would also be removed, but if I'm not mistaken it existed in v1.3D too

Code: Select all

                    case KNEE_WEAPON:
                        if (pPlayer->quick_kick == 0)
                        {
                            (*weaponFrame) = 1;
                            if (PWEAPON(playerNum, pPlayer->curr_weapon, InitialSound) > 0)
                                A_PlaySound(PWEAPON(playerNum, pPlayer->curr_weapon, InitialSound), pPlayer->i);
                        }
                        break;

Well, considering that this check was added in 1.4, it's obvious that they thought this was a bug, an oversight, or simply too powerful - so based on that I think it's likely the last check you highlighted may have actually existed.

[PlayerLin]

Bug or overpowered or something else...two foot kick just looks totally wrong...

How Duke still stand well when he's both legs are kicking?!

(Well, if it only enabled for 1.3d mode then I'm fine but still to me, it's just wrong...)

[sinisterseed]

It doesn't have to make sense.

It's Build after all, when has anything in this engine made sense ?

[Fox666]

Of course the reason why it was changed is probably because it doesn't seems physically possible...

[wildweasel]

With some effort, it was even possible to kick with THREE legs.

That video should have come with a maturity warning, just saying.

[Graf Zahl]

I'm mot going to mess around with that code for something like this, where the original devs considered it a bug worth fixing.
