Samsara - 0.3666 - World Tour

... that's in eduke32's polymer renderer. it not even being in duke's palette is kind of a dead giveaway. not even the polymost renderer does dynamic lights, to say nothing of the classic renderer.

I opened up the shareware in dosbox (because getting the full exe would require booting back into windows because steam), and, well



yeah.

edit: replaced the shot with one that wasn't mid-pain flash

[Silentdarkness12]

I actually prefer Eduke32's polymer over software rendering.

*fiteme*

[Viscra Maelstrom]

i think most people with a good video card would.

No, it's not.

It's the Sega Saturn version.

That explains the color oddities in the sky, the view height and other oddities.

Replicated Ranger's recoil issue. It's still there.

Replicated Ranger's recoil issue. It's still there.

I already said it's fixed in the zandronum 3.0 bitbucket repo

there's no zandronum build with the fix yet, but I know it works because I built the source myself and tested it two months ago with dakka, when the negative argument issue first came up and the fix got pushed

Code: Select all

TNT1 A 0 ACS_ExecuteAlways(312, 0, -50, 1, 2)

see that -50? it's being sent as 256-50 = 216, which means 216 degrees, which is why you're seeing what you're seeing

the ACS is fine. it's the netcode that fucked up. the fact that it only happens in a netgame, and it worked fine before the ACS call size reduction changes were made, confirms it.

[Kinsie]

There will probably be a new version later today. TZK was doing some chattering while he was finishing up ACS-X, resulting in some awesome fixes.

First, in a move that's sure to please Ijon in his pants, the Zandro check has been changed from "SpawnForced-ing a Doomsphere" to "GetPlayerAccountName". This should be more solid.

Secondly, all the clientside stuff that was broken in Zandro should be fixed now. Yay!

Finally, I hacked together a new Megasphere health pickup:

what are pants

[Infirnex]

God I'm so excited about that pickup. The old always seemed so out of place.

EDIT: More minor things: in Strife, most infantry enemies have a fire death sequence. BJ's Flamethrower doesn't trigger this. I only know it doesn't work for acolytes, may not for others.

How many of you guys would like a Samsara-side pistol start option? Been pondering the worth of one, since DUMP 2's script to reset inventory doesn't work on Samsara's weapons. Since there's a mod specifically to give you a pistol start on every level, there ought to be some market for it, right?

I'd say go for it, if only as a DUMP patch of sorts.

Samsara v0.34 is live.

• Fixed Bloodyhell/Bloodypersistent/Pickupmode not working properly on Zandro! Thanks, Zombie Killer!
• Implemented a cleaner, less potentially break-y way of detecting Zandronum. Thanks, Zombie Killer!
• Added 6 more Duke Talk lines, this time from Land of the Babes.
• Fix Afrits in Hexen balling up again when Mighty Booted.
• Fixed a bug where health pickups and pipebombs would supposedly mute Duke forever.
• Hexen multi-ammo pickups now also give Ranger some of his alt-ammo.
• Slight accuracy fix to Duke's Night Vision sound effect.
• Filtered and OGGified a bunch of Duke sounds that hadn't been filtered and/or OGGified.
• Nerfed BJ's Extra Life in Deathmatch. It now steals away your inventory, effectively resetting you to your pistol (or instagib rifle) and un-upgraded knife.
• Made Duke's pants green instead of his shirt. Easier to see in the thick of things, and more accurate to the original game.
• Added a MENUDEF toggle for Ranger's weapon recoil.
• Updated the GL lighting definitions:
  - Tweaked the Doom ammo definitions to not be so enormous
  - Added definitions for Heretic and Hexen ammo
  - Added definitions for Duke, based (very, very) loosely on the Samsara Extra Heroes mod's definitions
  - Added defintions for health and armor pickups
• Uncommented out some missing item tags, so things like the Jetpack won't show fucked up internal names when selecting them.
• Set the Wraithverge ghost's FastSpeed to be the same as its normal speed, hopefully fixing the Wraithverge being OP in Nightmare mode.
• Redrew the Megapack sprite to not be horrible.

Cool beans. Now that it matters, my vote's for the blue flamethrower. It fits better with all the other pick-up sprites, IMO.

I wonder, are you just going to be polishing/fixing/rebalancing things or are there any plans to finish Prisoner 849?

I don't have any of the Prisoner 849 work, and if Termus does, it's on a backup from like three hard drives back.
