I stopped being scared of them as soon as I figured out they were completely harmless for as long as you held down the Quick Kick button.

Despite buying it on XBLA, I've only ever played it on PC. I ripped it myself and made it into a little ZDoom mod, including the new medkit artwork, new intermission screen etc. Even has an episode selection! A shame I can't distribute it

It's less that they refuse to, more that they aren't allowed to. Their fault really, they could be completely open source if they wanted but they're not confident enough with the security of their netcode.

Chinook posted:So what setting for Vanilla Doom 2 would be advisable? Ultra Violence? I find Nightmare to be a bit silly with all of the respawns, especially when I don't know the levels all too well, and am searching for secrets a lot. I tend to play Ultra Violence with Fast Monsters on. It adds that extra bit of challenge without making it stupid-hard.

It's true room over room. It's supported natively in the map format instead of being a hack involving sector effectors. The only downside is that there are limitations with what you can make when using the software renderer. Though if you're using polymer the sky is the limit, you could make a 1:1 remake of a quake level if you wanted (it would be difficult and there might be some collision errors though).

Most open source physics libraries tend to be coded in c++ as opposed to plain old c. It would be rather difficult (though not impossible) to use a modern lib like that on such ancient code.

Guillermus posted:Im not going to reply this with technical language but with this: Polymer is pointless because it eats resources for breakfast. Instead of that, most Duke3D players would love better 3d models because right now the good old vanilla sprites are better. There are quite a lot of stuff they can improve instead of wasting time on polymer, wich is for most players skippable. The Duke3D HRP does need more artists, after all we're still using models made half a decade ago! But Plagman isn't an artist, he's a programmer. He can't just drop everything Polymer and start making 3D models, he doesn't have the skillset. Polymost is a technological dead end. It's a quick hack by Ken Silverman coded in his patented incomprehensible style, so don't expect much more from that renderer. Guillermus posted:Also calling everyone whiners makes your He was just trolling. He has spent the last few years working on Polymer so I dunno maybe you hurt his feelings a little bit too. Vertigus posted:There's probably plenty of people out there who are into advanced rendering features for the sake of advanced rendering features, but I think there's a lot of wisdom in reservation. One of the things I admire about GZDoom is that it does implement fancy new features, but the teams behind it take care to keep things speedy and preserve the tone of the game without making it look garish. I don't think that has to do with the larger community, just a different approach. The Doom engine's levels are almost completely static, which makes 3D rendering of them relatively easy. With Build, every single wall, floor, and vertex is able to change position at any time. Polymost is a hack, it barely works, and even it has issues which make it impossible for it to ever be as accurate as the software renderer. Polymer on the other hand is designed to do it properly. Designing a 3D renderer that can cope with that is a huge challenge. SCheeseman fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Dec 31, 2011 |

Bloodmobile posted:How do I get bmouse working with Cryptic Passage? I am honestly amazed that bmouse works at all. I really had no idea what I was doing. I can read C a little but overall it was a total hackjob that I could only compile using Borland Turbo C++ 4.0, released in 1993. I threw in an INI reader library that I found (which I forgot to credit in the readme, oops. MIT license or something I think) and JonoF helped me write some code to fill in the gaps. They should just loving release Blood's source code already. That bullshit about it potentially fracturing the userbase because of multiple multiplayer source ports is ridiculous and it being closed source means none of the innovations that have gone into eduke32 could be merged. It'll be just another broken, half-assed source port coded by people who aren't aware of any of the Build engine's many obscure quirks. See the iPhone or Android Duke3D port as an example. It's a loving mess.

QwertySanchez posted:Steam just gave me a 50% off Duke nukem 3D thing. Does it have anything to make it worth having over the GoG version of the atomic edition I got last year? I already own lifes a beach and duke in LA too. Considering the half-assed effort they put into the port, I doubt the multiplayer would be any good. The 3D acceleration code they used was never even close to being suitable for use in a commercial product. It's full of bugs (try getting shrinked, notice the massive HOM errors). I wouldn't expect any better when it comes to their netcode. It'll probably be a barely modified P2P thing based on the original netcode. Expect lots of sync errors.

Terminx doesn't have much time to work on eduke32, let alone reverse engineering a game. Of course, if Monolith had any brains we could have had the source code to it by now, but nope.

Cat Mattress posted:The Build engine itself is basically just a renderer. Game logic is separate, and very different from game to game. Contrarily to Doom engine games, where there's relatively little differences between Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Strife (to say nothing about Chex Quest or Hacx), it's not really possible to just plug a different actor table in DN3D or Shadow Warrior and get Blood this way. That's why Doom has a few multi-compatible source ports like ZDoom, while nobody has attempted to merge Duke, SW, and the others into a "ZBuild". Duke3D and Shadow Warrior actually have many underlying technical similarities. The CON code is gone, but the structure is similar despite being re-written in C. Redneck Rampage is even more closely based on Duke3D, using an extended version of the CON system. It actually may be possible to merge them all together, though Shadow Warrior's code would have to be converted back to CON or something. You're right that Blood is a completely different matter though, as are the (terrible) Capstone games.
