Needs a sourceport which supports colored lightings and skyboxes (not implemented yet but there will be) + darkplaces files included.
Since this is a mod, extract the What needs to be done: fix fullbright pixels on some textures + skybox. http://www.mediafire.com/download/kxhaw2l9nn9ft6t/schlossherr.zip A different feeling Quake map with some fun new weapons and monsters.
Skill 2, 3/4 secrets: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ly2yx4u24614xnz/mjb_port2.zip?dl=0 Very enjoyable map with good flow and a nice nighttime atmosphere. Secrets were well placed and some lead to new areas as opposed to just a quick item cache. Liked all of the glass window views and little mechanical touches like trains and rotating doors. If escape from your cell was your last map, then this sets the bar high for you! :) Couple of water brush clipping out of where it should be contained...I point it out in the demo. Square lighting has dark rigid square shadows. Perhaps moving the light a bit away from the source would help. Keep a high wait value close as a source of brightness but then make the actual fill light lower. I point it out numerous times in the map ;) Played on hard, difficulty was rather easy but very enjoyable none the less. Certainly wouldn't be a breeze for beginners! Start map was nice, NM difficulty was nicely tucked away and I liked the level transition. Looking forward to where this "train" takes us! Barnak, maybe this is because I accidentally added a config file inside the
Bloughsburgh, I'm happy with your input. That BFG bug is intriguing. I think it's because both the MegaHealth and the BFG use the same item slot. I have to look into that. config file no more + added a proper skybox as well as fixing the odd waterbrushes
skill 2, 2 secrets
I didn't like sound design that much, but gameplay is quite nice. Map left me wanting more. Imho rooftops are just asking to have some action there. Oh and atm it is possible to get stuck in quad exit door. Demo included. I think you can prevent this by adding clips to the sides of quad shaft. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3li06myS1r1NmJIc3JCVTVhczA *Fullbright pixels begone for dmc.wad
*Did clip brushes for windtunnels to better orient the player *Pushed maximum nail ammo to 250 *Added scrags on the bridge parts, keep the dogs for easy mode *Getting the BFG while picking up MegaHealth has been fixed http://www.mediafire.com/download/kxhaw2l9nn9ft6t/schlossherr.zip I'm not sure if fullbrights fixed in dmc.wad supposed to mean that there should be none of those anymore or one wad is fixed and few more to go.
I can still get stuck in quad door. Was a bit tricky to find it since my previous method doesn't work in this version. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3li06myS1r1ZFJ2Rko1NC01d0U Pushing player farther or closing door earlier might solve it I guess. Found gate#8 this time. *This time, no more fullbright pixels (I admit I got lazy here, only got dmc.wad but that's because TexMex's remove fullbright feature is wonky so I had to edit textures myself)
*Didn't notice this, but going to the belltower secret before going through the rotating doors make going back to the lighthouse a chore, so I added a trigger up there to open the gates if they aren't. Door seems to be dw-proof now.
Found few fullbrights and one z-fight. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3li06myS1r1Y0pxRC1KamZ2bUk Sorry, last time I started my search after finishing the map, while all doors were open and missed these
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3li06myS1r1ZWU4bzJfME5tWmM Aside from that I think you are good to go. Link for those who don't want to search in the thread
http://www.mediafire.com/download/kxhaw2l9nn9ft6t/schlossherr.zip Keep it up, also good work on the new guns. Especially the BFG, it's probably the best version of the gun I have seen in Quake.
The BFG's unfinished though. Not only did I not put in ammo consumption (I plan for 30 cells per shot), I need to make the initial impact sprite appear (which doesn't even though I literally took the original explosion code alongside doom's sprites, I can't find a solution to this, same goes to the Rocketman's rocket explosion sprites which doesn't appear even though it's the same explosion code as vanilla) and as for the sphere going through gibbing enemies, I have to find a way to destroy the initial projectile and make a new one while still using the first projectile's speed and angle (I have no idea how to do this).
I plan on adding a weapon similar to Daikatana's Shotcycler (but with more power to it, think actual 6 consecutive SSG shots) as well as adding a Berserk powerup (that will add a lot of IF in the code...) But since I'm using hipnotic's source code tacked on, nicely placed weapon HUD won't be a thing, since Preach told me I can't add nor change HUD elements, only modify the icons. A shame. I could've at least make an Infantry Gun, Gatling Gun and BFG9500 weapon icons if I used rogue's sourcecode, but I guess that's too late now. "You only have three options as to how the HUD works. You can have the HUD like it is in vanilla, or the HUD from mission pack one, or the HUD from mission pack two. You can customise the icons themselves, but there is no way of rearranging them or adding more than what the mission packs have. The mission packs got special customisations to the engine code before the source was released, it's not something the QC gives you any ability to change. "
