[WIP] Project ZD3K [update: 14-09-2018] * WIP life

Post by X-DOOM »

Hello, i decided i am going to tease people out here, every week of my progression work to rebuild the game.

And please feel free to comment on things that could be remodeled or changed.
There is also something else i would like to talk of, when i lost of the map files, i lost my credit document where i wrote down every people's name for using their textures/flats, sprites, etc... so if anyone see something that isnt my work feel free to reply it will be my pleasure to add credit to that owner back again.

Most of these screeshot will be taken from Doom Builder with full brightness zone, cuz launching the game for only a part will makes the game start some unwanted long script and i dont want to trigger them or comment them. There are many unaligned wall textures atm, gonna have to align them all later :)

Lookin' pretty sweet.

Any way to make these long scripts skippable? I don't like unskippable cutscenes.

These cutscene shouldnt be that long... lesser than 15sec or so.

The only long one is the intro, but i should place a "skip" key function.
But why skiping cutscene? Ever played old Half-Life?

Half-Life never had cutscenes, they were all scripted events where you still retained control.

If you're going to stop the player from moving or take away his controls for any extended period of time (where "extended" is anything longer than two or three seconds), add a way to skip it - [wiki]GetPlayerInput[/wiki] can detect the Use key.

Thanks wildweasel.

Anything longer than two or three seconds... this is a low timer...

I miss the old time where people actualy had to watch the entire cutscene

Here's the way I see it - watching it the first time is just fine. Watching it again because I died/restarted/the game crashed would get irritating. Your story might be important to you, and it might be important to the player (the first time around), but unless the player (or the game) saves automatically following every cutscene or scripted event, the player will get very tired of sitting through long scenes if they die and reload back to a point before the cutscene.

You got a point there. There must be a way around to save a variable flag that know the player died so when the cutscene should play, it may had a "skip" option.

me too :)

Btw, you got credits up there Tormy


The long and pain thing is reworking the maps and few tricky things such the decorate units... each of them are in seperated decorate files (57 decorate files for units, each have 2-7 units variation, some friendly and some unfriendly (still working on the hater ones when being friendly to most)

Still can't get these bots to attack me while being friendly to soldiers grrr, i miss my old AI, there must be a workaround in the new ZDoom.

Always allow skipping, and autosave right after the cutscene.

hmmm, implementing GetPlayerInput script on this, seem to not want to work at all. Im sure i missed something somewhere and i can't see it, stupid dyslexia.

the pause is defined for 35 and works fine, i use it often.

Code: Select all

script 2 (void)
{
    int skipbuttons;
    while(true)
    {
        skipbuttons = GetPlayerInput(-1, INPUT_BUTTONS);
        if(skipbuttons & BT_USE)
        {
            break;

Ok i made a workaround for skiping cutscene, its tricky too but it works fine.
I hope this may help someone else too, gonna share this up in the editing forum as well. I passed about few hours thinking and making it.

the multiple switch/case/break added on script 999 are for more option and all other skiping script in the whole game, feel free to modify it as your needs.

Here is what i did.


Keyconf.txt in the pk3 file or root folder of the mod

Code: Select all

//=================================================================================
//Keyconf.txt
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
addkeysection "ZD3K" ZD3K
addmenukey "Skip Cut-scene" skipcutscenekey
alias skipcutscenekey "puke 999"
defaultbind Q skipcutscenekey
zwvars.acs

Code: Select all

//=================================================================================
//zwvars.acs
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
world int 1: currentgamemap;
world int 2: currentcutscene;

sharedfunction.acs is an external acs script loaded from zcommon.acs

Code: Select all

//=================================================================================
//sharedfunction.acs
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
script 999 (void)
{
	switch(currentgamemap)
	{
		case 1:		break;
		case 2:
			switch(currentcutscene)
			{
				case 2:		acs_execute(222,0,0,0,0);	break;
				default:	break;
			}

		break;
		default:	break;
	}
}

map02.acs script inside the map file map02.wad

Code: Select all

//=================================================================================

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
