 Deadguy
#146 posted by madfox on 2019/12/27 16:29:16
Finished the dead guy but I see no way to get its shout attack successfull, so I gave it a zombie attack.
"gl_bright 0" doesn't do anything.

The command is "gl_overbright_models 0"
You said before that you could look at SOA code, I just realized that the boss Armagon has two of the attacks you need, double lasers for the Alien Captain, and Double missiles for the Stratos.
Looks like the Chasm zombie and the Phantom could only be recreated by copying AD code.
 More Monsters..,

like goblin fatguy deadguy
- Added Goblin - Deadguy and Fatman.
- The last two I gave a zombie attack and a flying axe.
- Not sure about the attacks, but they are quiete effective.
- Stand pose of the Goblin may be too slow.
- Corrected Stratos sink in the ground.

Just tested, the Goblin is missing one attacks, it would also melee you with the bow in its left hand, right now it does not. Also, it should have a laser crossbow, so it should fire an enforce blast instead.
The zombie is good, but should only be vulnerable to explosions. I will try to find help for you to attach the rock golems attack to it.
Punisher is good, change the skin file to a Bloody axe.
Why doesn't the Faust's rocket explode? You have trouble creating the rocket explosion?
Can you throw some Death Knights and Ogres in there for infight with the punisher?

Sorry, the Goblin's left melee attack is there, I just missed it.
Since you gave the punisher a flying axe attacks, so I assume giving the joker a flying buzzsaw attack and giving the Orc a flying spear attack will be no problem?

Punisher is also too short, should be the same height as a death knight.
#152 posted by yhe1 on 2019/12/30 07:08:35
I think the deadguy's bounding box is too short, nobody infights with the deadguy

The goblin should only make a sound when it sees you, when it is attacking you, it is silent.
 Skins Too High
madfox, please rearange UV maps in more horizontal way. Quakespasm have limitation in skinsize.
#155 posted by yhe1 on 2019/12/31 09:34:54
Use quakespasm spiked
 Ah..,
#156 posted by madfox on 2019/12/31 16:47:33
I gave Punisher a double sided axe. A bit tricky as the skinfile has an unuseable skinfile of 960x64. So I don't see a way to change it. If you open up the pak file you can see for yourself.
The sickle of Joker has the same one sided vertices, but as soon as I merge a j_disk model the skinfile gets ruined.
Faust's rocket misses the explode sound.
Bouncing boxes are a bit chunky.
I will silence the goblin.
Just added Joker, Gross and Lion guy. Wondering how to get the lather throw rubble.
I use Quakespasm-spiked.
madfox, after rearranging the UV maps you could bake another texture (skin) in whatever 3d modeling program you use. I don't want to be rude, but you are limiting your mod unnecessary.
By the way, I love chasm, and the models will fit perfectly in the Quake world.
 Rude Amental

@sixshoot: When I started to convert the chasm models, I translated them all to dxf. After that I had a new base model to use the skin files.
However, because they were not nearly as good as Noesis does, I use this one.
I think it is not that hard at all to arrange the UV maps, only I have never done this before.
So instead of being rude it's more your attention to this fact and my knowhow has its limits.

It's hard for us non-professionals. I've tred before to mess with the original mdls. It was very time consuming.
see my resoults:

I think it should be the other way around, there are no side effects to supporting skinfiles taller than 480, thus regular quakespasm should support them.
#161 posted by yhe1 on 2019/12/31 23:44:06
In the readme, you should about somebody not having regenerative pose, what do you mean by that?
I feel that you should give the Lion man's ground slam attack to the deadguy, that is what it is, an invisible long range attack.
For the Gross throwing a rock, use the lavaball you gave to the mincer before.
For the Faust, just use regular quake explosive sounds, that issue is too minor. The Faust's rocket should do as much damaage as an ogre's grenade.
I feel like the melee attack damage of all your chasm monsters need to be improved, right now they often lose against their quake counterparts. The chasm spider is definitely too strong tho
For your next beta, can you put a Punisher and a hellkight next to each other, and the same for a Gross and an Ogre. Right now they are too far away.
#162 posted by yhe1 on 2020/01/01 00:24:48
So I managed to lead the Hellkight to the punishers, and a single hellknight defeated 3 punishers, so your Chasm monsters attack dmg definitely needs to be improved.

There is also some problems with the Lionman's attacks. It would attack me with the ground slam when it was too far away. It should run towards the player, then when it is in range, attack the player with ground slam.
When I was fighting the lionman in melee, it never attacked me with the club, it only used its shield to bash me.
#164 posted by yhe1 on 2020/01/01 11:35:42
I just tested chasm in dosbox and I never saw the ground slam attack, the Lionman always ran stright towards me and only used melee attacks. Did you create the deadguy's attack by accident lol
 Thanks For Commend

_regenerative pose - Joker lies dead and stands up.
_magic pose - Joker could use a spellmaster trick.
_melee attacks - indeed a bit low, just checking my qc-knowhow.
The Lionman has that attack because otherways he starts a melee attack from distance. This is quiete annoying as the pauze between attacks and run are rather low.
Deadman's attacks is the same dilemma between attacking from distance (cry) and melee attack.
So it had to have a distant attack like throwing gibs. A sprite would also be sufficient.
Quiete a remarkable archievement there Six-Shootah.
Most of the mdl's are impressive, sorry there is only one testmap. There are lots of possibilities there.
It's really easy to add maps to the devkit. Just use monsters like:
monster_fatguy
monster_deadguy
monster_lionguy
monster_faust
monster_ltrop
monster_lcapt
monster_stratos
monster_joker
monster_grunt
monster_scorpy
monster_goblin
monster_mincer
A simple map is easy to create as long as it is in a "maps" file within the devkit.
 And

Madfox, you gave rottweiler code to the mincer before, why not do the same for the lionman? A lionmman is like a rottweiler without jumping. Rottweiler doesn't start melee attack at distance.
 A Bit Lame
#168 posted by madfox on 2020/01/03 16:39:02
Then the Lionman would feel like cannoneat as it would loose half its health on distance.
In Chasm I hear falling rocks in his attacks.
#169 posted by yhe1 on 2020/01/03 18:23:48
Don't worry about that, such "cannonmeat" monsters are commonplace, The Doom Pinky, the Quake knight. Just give him a lot of Health.
When you are done converting all the chasm monsters, you need to rebalance them. Right now, your chasm monsters only do about 15 damage per hit range or melee. That is far too low. In reality, the high end monsters should do about 35 damage ranged and around 45 dmg melee. The mincer does close to 50 in one strike. It also needs much more health, around the same as a quake fiend.
#170 posted by madfox on 2020/01/03 20:41:02
I couldn't defeat the end monster at the second chasm level. Is it an Uber Monster or something?
