Idea for the Mod
Sun, 08 Feb 2009 04:39:31
Hi
I have a idea for the mod. I don´t know if it´s possible, but I make some sprites.
My idea is that when you use the torch from the inventary, these sprites appears
While carrying the torch, you can´t use weapons in both hands
I hope you like it <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

DOOM III tried the "either flashlight or weapon" approach and everybody hated it.
Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:46:34
Yes, it´s truth
Well, I´ll work in more creatures <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

What mod you are talking about here? Kmod3 or Scattered Evil? I ask because Kmod3 is postponed for uncertain time and if it is about SE, these topics should be moved to appropriate subforum.
Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:07:21
I didn´t know about the postponement of Kmod3
It was only a generic idea for the mod, I´m create it for Koraxmod, but If you like it for another mod I have not any problem <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Or this could be posted in the dev forums... For better organization.
But perhaps you could only be able to use these with one handed weapons? Then again this may have been what he meant in the first post.
Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:44:27
Ok. The next time I´ll post in Dev Forums <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
you could only be able to use these with one handed weapons
Yes, I like to say that XD

I like the sprites, but the general idea of using these combined with weapons is a bit difficult to implement in the code... I don't know if there would be a way to do it. Definitely not a bad idea IMO.

I´m glad you like it <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc6.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
This is a new progress of the torch
[img:2six00fk]http://files.myopera.com/Cyberbot/HeXen/TorchFixed1.PNG[/img:2six00fk]
I think too that is very difficult to implement in the code <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orcdeb.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->
And I shows you a new monster, the medusa, and the characters transform in stone <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

In fact, implementing the torch as was mentioned (at one time with single weapon), is not difficult but impossible at the moment. I was wondering if I may implement a flashlight for Doom mod, and asked Janis if custom HUD sprites could be inserted in game, but the answer was no. So, it is currently an engine restriction.

It´s a pity. <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc10.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->
I´ll continue with the monsters <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Hey, Rolls, I have an idea for you. Some time ago I wrote about rising undead here:
<!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://korax-heritage.com/board/viewtopic.php?p=16571#p16571">viewtopic.php?p=16571#p16571</a><!-- l -->
Remember poor puny dead-men scattered all over Hexen maps - chained... pierced by a spear... Now imaging walking around, coming close to such harmless piece of decor... and suddenly... BOOOO!
A sketch:
[img:89x4cc51]http://downloads.orcishweb.com/koraxdev/crimson/se/concept_art/undead_001_concept.jpg[/img:89x4cc51]
Basically, idea is to make monsters based on those dead bodies from Hexen. When idle they look just like the decor, and when you come closer they activate and attack you.

It´s a great idea!! Is fantastic! <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc5.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o --> <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc5.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o --> <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc5.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o -->
I go to work in it now! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc6.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:58:49
Nice idea! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc6.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:29:40
Here I put a first preview of one of them. I´m still missing many details, but it is a breakthrough <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc6.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Awesome. Its a great idea and looks like its being well done so far. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc6.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> So keep it up, Rolls.
Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:55:27
wow, it was a good idea to tell you this concept <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc6.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
We will add this creature to game as soon as sprites are ready in general.
Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:05:54
[color=#FF0000:2tp36vkv][size=150:2tp36vkv]Hey, people, I really suggest keeping this monster TOP SECRET[/size:2tp36vkv][/color:2tp36vkv] <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orcevil.gif" alt=":evil:" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: -->
Because it will make a perfect surprise for players.

Oh, so you have been part of the Korax Team for quite a while now, Rolls. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc4.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> After seeing some of your other sprite sets I was about to recommend you to the devs. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orclaught2.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
Great sprites, as always.
(Also, I really need the username/password for these images, none of the passworded ones display for me. <!-- sorcstupid --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orcstupid.gif" alt="orcstupid" title="orcstupid" /><!-- sorcstupid -->)

By chance, might these be what your looking for? You just use the FTP servers username/password.

You need second link. Username and psw mentioned on second line actually.

-shrug- I remember needing both of those topics in order to access the server. Perhaps I'm wrong, I dunno.

First link mentions how to access it using FTP (for upoading stuff mainly), while second - using HTTP. I suppose.

Other theme: I work with 3D and FX, and if you like I can to make a intro video to the Mod.
I shows you a intro video that I made for other HeXen Mod <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Very impressive. And I see we have 3 undead variants already.

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:47:33
Oh, only one thing. I see you used blood for the one with spear. I suggest not using blood for them, 'cause they are undead, plus it is obvious they are long ago rotten and dried corpses, so no blood could left. <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orcevil.gif" alt=":evil:" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: -->
Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:04:22
Ok <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
I´ll use pieces of dried meat <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc6.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
Tue, 10 Feb 2009 16:02:00
Nice work on those sprites! It's going to be a cool idea <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orcevil.gif" alt=":evil:" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: --> .

Rolls do you have a higher quality copy of that intro movie somewhere, maybe with sound?
Sat, 14 Feb 2009 15:49:41
Hi Ramborc
Yes, I have a copy with high quality. You can download the video with this link <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc6.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
[url:2v4nvnjd]http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?t2uidwn3rmn
If you like I can make a movie with the story of the Mod, a Video Logo of the Team, or anything movie that the Mod needs <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc6.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
I show you my progress of the undead too:

I liked the first two scenes, with the birds flying over a wasteland and the trees in the fog, very atmospheric.
