You need to define an offset for it since it's trying to draw (by default) from the upper-left starting at the thing's origin. You can open your WAD or PK3 and set an offset for it with Slade. You probably want the Y offset to be the height of the image and the X offset to be half of the width.

I had no idea that was something I had to do for sprites!   edit: Eventually I'll get around to replacing the grainy BG with a direct sprite rip. Eventually.

I was talking about this in the Doom thread but being vague because I wasn't sure how public it was, but since he's being since he's posting about it on Twitter... https://twitter.com/jasonxbergman/status/742321652579610624 https://twitter.com/jasonxbergman/status/742322344593657856 This guy used to be a contributor to the Blues and sCary news pages and was around in the scene. It may not be the game we want, but at least it's a good sign that you've got a producer on board for a Quake game who was actually into old Quake in the dial-up days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0Shxdmx7Tk I might replace the music with a bad midi later as per this thread's suggestion.  No monsters or level ending yet, and the bounding geometry is just a big box, but boy has this been fun to make so far.

XavierGenisi posted:I would have liked the new Quake to have singleplayer, but instead, going by that vague cinematic trailer thing, it seems like it's going to be Quake 3 Arena 2, and I'm pretty okay with that. I'm very okay with this, I'm pumped! I'm sure we'll see another badass id single player game later on too, and this one is co-developed with another team. Or mostly by another team, not sure. Johnny Joestar posted:quake was one of the few things i wanted to see more singleplayer of These ambitious single-player FPS games we love take years to make, and this is id we're talking about. They just released one that took about a gazillion years, or 3 years since they last scrapped and started over again. And the game (DOOM) is relatively short and focused, not a bad thing, but imagine how long it'd take them to make a game as diverse in environments and level design as Quake today. I'm sure they will keep making those, but this game we're seeing a teaser of right now isn't a competitor to the next single-player id game that we'll see three years from now at the earliest. If anything this kind of makes sense, it's nice to have a single-player and multiplayer in one package, but doing separate projects for the two could help keep these games coming at a faster pace. nexus6 posted:Welp, there goes my hope at playing a single player Quake remake. At least DO4M is good. It came out just a month ago too. Granted, my gut guess is they're more likely to make a sequel to this DOOM than a new single-player Quake, but you never know.

Inspired by this thread, I've made my first DOOM map. It's all vanilla except for a custom MIDI, but the geometry should support jumping and free mouselook. Difficulty settings have also been implemented. I need to tidy everything up but would appreciate any feedback -- if you think it's fun to play, I'll submit it for DUMP.

On one end of the difficulty spectrum, it's a slaughter map. On the other, it's a snoozefest. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. It's not a bad slaughter map, and it looks really nice, too. I guess play it on one of the first two difficulties to learn the correct activation order (it's more or less instant death or guaranteed eventual death if you gently caress it up), and then play on ultra-violence to see how well you can handle a claustrophobic slaughter map.

That map looks amazing dude. I haven't played it, but the one thing that sticks out from the screenshots is that using the Icon of Sin texture is generally a no-no unless it's actually in as a boss.

Difficulty settings have also been implemented. I need to tidy everything up but would appreciate any feedback -- if you think it's fun to play, I'll submit it for DUMP. I just finished it on UV with no mouselook, no jumping, and infinitely tall actors turned off. Here are some thoughts: - I'm not sure why the player starts facing the bloodfall since it's not a very interesting sight. I think it would be better if you could see the arena right away without having to turn around. - I like how you can select your own degree of difficulty by either slowly tackling the hordes one by one or unleashing them all simultaneously and running around like a headless chicken. It's great fun. - I might be wrong on this, but I think if you have jumping enabled, you can skip the switch that raises the Hell Knights, making the central arena fight much easier. - I don't know what triggers the Archviles to come out of the ground. Sometimes it happened, while at other times, they never appeared. I think it might be related to whether or not you grab the BFG before hitting the three skull switches, but I could be wrong. - Similarly, I have no idea what triggers the Soulsphere secret. I thought it was related to the switch in front of the Berserk area, but that doesn't seem to be the case. - There might be a bit too much cell ammo on the map, especially if you find the Computer Map secret. As a result, it's very easy to rush the BFG and thin out the hordes. Having to rely on the rocket launcher to a greater extent would make it a bit more challenging. - I like the small side area where you find the Red Key, but I'm not a fan of the teleporter placement. It's very easy to accidentally step on it while dodging enemy projectiles. Perhaps either move it or make it a bit more obvious to spot. - The Red Key trap isn't very threatening since the Barons don't block the exit. Maybe make it a bit harder to just run past them. - There were a few enemies that never appeared, but that could just be related to one of the secrets I missed. - The finale with the Imps looks pretty drat cool. Overall, it's pretty fun, especially for a first attempt. I'll probably give HMP a try tomorrow and see if I can track down all secrets.

I did another quick run on HMP and HNTR, and I've got a few addenda to my original points. - I'm quite happy with the way the difficulty levels work, there's a noticeable difference between HNTR, HMP, and UV. I'd maybe tone down HMP just a bit, but that's a topic where everyone has their own opinion and preferences. - The Invincibility Sphere secret appears to be semi-bugged. You can pick up the sphere just fine, but it's impossible to activate the secret without crouching because the low ceiling prevents you from stepping on the sector tag. - I found the Soulsphere, Invinicibility Sphere, Megasphere and Computer Map, but I couldn't find the fifth secret. That's not a flaw, of course, it just means I can't give you any feedback on it. - I really like the MIDI you chose, although it doesn't loop very well.  - Cacos frequently seem to get stuck in this corner. Maybe make it just a bit wider. - I still love the ending with the Imps.

I know Unreal Tournament still has a relatively good community but I'm willing to bet this is the most fun anyone has had with the UT99 engine in a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7I1Ui_cYNw Probably turn your volume down a bit.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Samuel Clemens. I will update the geometry to eliminate the bugs you've mentioned. I also realized it's difficult to activate the Soulsphere secret without using mouselook, so I will lower the platform to be more in line with the target. I'll make the red key fight more exciting, too. You definitely can jump onto the Hell Knight platform and skip the raising of the same, but I'm not sure if I want to eliminate this. On the one hand, you skip having to deal with the Hell Knights directly, but on the other, you create a potential death pit for yourself if you don't. The fifth secret is a bug; one of the light sectors in the computer map room was tagged incorrectly. I hope it didn't waste too much of your time! Arivia posted:I haven't played it, but the one thing that sticks out from the screenshots is that using the Icon of Sin texture is generally a no-no unless it's actually in as a boss.

On the one hand, you skip having to deal with the Hell Knights directly, but on the other, you create a potential death pit for yourself if you don't. Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I actually like it as a gameplay element. It creates an interesting situation where you have less enemies to deal with, but conversely, there's also less room to maneuver. The only potential problem I can see is that it might cause people to assume you have to jump to get that switch since the skull switches are easy to miss on a first playthrough. NAG posted:The fifth secret is a bug; one of the light sectors in the computer map room was tagged incorrectly. I hope it didn't waste too much of your time! Don't worry about it. The map's pretty small, so none of the exits took me more than a few minutes. joedevola posted:I know Unreal Tournament still has a relatively good community but I'm willing to bet this is the most fun anyone has had with the UT99 engine in a while.

GUI posted:Wolfenstein's (good kind of) melodrama will be really hard to take seriously if they go with Blazkowicz being alive and the player character again considering how far both The Old Blood and New Order go with making him a tired and broken down human being. You're telling me. I just beat TNO last night and loved pretty much every minute of it. For some reason, I actually felt a genuine attachment to most of the main characters--BJ especially just felt "right" to me. Melodramatic (but not obnoxiously so), heroic but also human at times. Looking forward to this "Colossus".

BJ is broken several different ways from sunday and it really does make him feel refreshingly unique that the stoicism keeping him going is also keeping him sane and reasonable. Then the mask cracks ever so slightly, and he quietly whispers things like that. How he reacts to Jimmy's stuff in that path is also perfect for showing that BJ is not a nice person. Becoming a monster to hunt something worse still leaves you a monster in the end, even if you do crave rest. The lucidity of who he is adds to the tragedy that the only time BJ will finally get that rest he deserves is when he finally dies.  Its good. More characters like that is good. Its why I kinda don't want him back for Colossus. Let us live in his legacy and the world he created. It'd be fine if he is back 'tho. Just saying.

One thing I liked about DO4M was that never once did any of the characters look at Doomguy and give that trite "you enjoy hurting other people, don't you," line, which is a trope a lot of modern games love to hammer in like it's some kinda edgy point of view. Do the new Wolf games do that? I only played the first half of The Old Blood.

It's kind of obnoxious when most games do it mostly because these are games that are designed around the killing and don't have an alternative to killing, and it's intended to be some kind of subtle barb at the player.

I agree in general, that's why I think Liquid Snake should be exempt, he did it in a funny/memorable way. I also kind of like the obligatory funny mention to how you're a psychopath they include in most GTA games.

Man, I really wish you could scale up the enemies in ZDoom. I mean, you can scale up their sprites, but their hitboxes and firing points remain the same, so what's the point? Tempted to see if I can skirt DUMP3's "no custom monsters" rule by making a static prop that uses the Cyberdemon's sprite and randomly fires rockets at players like a Cyberdemon, but is otherwise about as interactive as a tree. Pretty sure you can fake the guy turning around with ACS...
