Hands of Necromancy [Full game released!]

[Emmanuelexe]

Thanks for the report but for now we will fix only bugs, game breaking bugs, exploits, textures problems ect.. this kind of things
For major gameplay change, we can't, not until i get enough budget to continue the project, im the lead producer but also the budget guy of the team
But i keep everything in a place in the folder for the improvements if it can work well

Like the skybox problem in the castle map, the linedefs in the Temple or the Wyvern transformation who can use exploit on the final boss

Oh, sure! Hope I haven't came up as if I were demanding or anything (surely obnoxious, tho). I don't even expect major changes until next year or so, and that is if everything goes right and gets a good reception. I wish the best possible scenario for this game, because you guys did a fantastic job and deserve a good retribution.

Btw, if there's the chance it gets translation support someday, I'd love to help translating this to spanish (although I'm unsure about how the LANGUAGE lump actually works, but I've got my hopes on that front if ever happens). Godspeed!

[Emmanuelexe]

For now, english only ^^

Thanks a lot for the kind words!

But yes, stuff to fix

Just bought it with an additional gift. Games like that deserve support!

Bug in City of Despair. Same problem as Farmhouse elevator:

https://youtu.be/toOmJGHN3mY

Update: The TagWait was pointing at the wrong ID

Here is the fixed script:

---

Code: Select all

script "belltower_plat" (void)
{
	int speed = 16;
	int height = 96;
	if (plat_up) {
		//Floor_LowerByValue(64, speed, height);
		FloorAndCeiling_LowerByValue(63, speed, height);
		plat_up = FALSE;
	}
	else {
		//Floor_RaiseByValue(64, speed, height);
		FloorAndCeiling_RaiseByValue(63, speed, height);
		plat_up = TRUE;
	}
	//TagWait(64);
	TagWait(63);
}

Yes, it was reported and will be fixed for the next version

Yes, it was reported and will be fixed for the next version

Thanks. From a quick peek, it looks like the Farmhouse map has the same bug root cause

---

Code: Select all

int barntoggle = 1;
script "barnlift" (void)
{
	switch(barntoggle) //BarnToggle sounds like a brand new square dance
	{
	case 0:
		Generic_Floor (137, 8, 192, 0, 24);
		Floor_RaiseByValueTimes8 (140, 64, 6);
		//TagWait (138);
		TagWait (137);
		barntoggle = 1;
		break;
	case 1:
		Generic_Floor (137, 8, 192, 0, 16);
		//TagWait (138);
		TagWait (137);
		Floor_lowerByValueTimes8 (140, 64, 6);
		barntoggle = 0;
		break;
	}
}

Good to see this getting more polishes. Sounds like a nice excuse to replay it all over again

When I spawn a HNecroWeaponGrenadeAmmoBig using A_DropItem it only gives 1 ammo. Is there a different ammo item for 3 grenades?

Here's the line I'm using in zscript

Code: Select all

Owner.A_DropItem("HNecroWeaponGrenadeAmmoBig", 0, DROP_AMMO_CHANCE_BIG);

I even tried to force the amount to 3 using the following, with no success.

Code: Select all

Owner.A_DropItem("HNecroWeaponGrenadeAmmoBig", 3, DROP_AMMO_CHANCE_BIG);
