Here's progs_dump devkit RC1
This release is for testing and feedback. Screenshot from pd_zombies sample map. Screenshot from pd_ladders sample map. There's a bit more work for me to do for the final. Here's a partial list: 1. New Start map 2. Complete pd_void sample map 3. Add func_rotate (Hipnotic) 4. Add dropping box code (RennyC) 5. Add fading light styles (c0burn) 6. Finish breakable sound effects 7. Add skins to debris.mdl 8. Complete manual 9. Address any show stopping bugs 10. Test in various engines. Make sure and read the manual. Many of your questions should be answered there or in the sample maps. Here's a dump of the changelog: * Added reset_items key to worldspawn entity; resets players items on map load (no need for Rune hacks for custom start maps!) * Added classnames to "bonus item fell out of level" and "monster stuck in wall" errors when developer is set to 1. * Add entities for Thunder, Water and Sky sounds. Use these when you want to hand place these instead of having VIS.exe add them automatically. * Fixed door unlock sound not playing (id software bug) * Added ladders * Added breakables * Added spawn_angry key/value for use with Trigger Spawned monsters * Added meat_shower (regular or large, triggerable, silent or random gib sounds) * Added trigger_void * Added trigger_shake (earthquake) * Renamed dtsounds.qc to dtmisc.qc * Added deadstuff entities * Added ritem (items respawn) * Added trigger spawning to items * Added items suspended flag * Fixed trigger_ladder conflict with trigger_setgravity * Revised FGDs * Added pain_target and pain_threshold * Added func_togglewall, func_counter, func_oncount and func_particlefield from Hipnotic * Added pd_ladders test level * Fixed H_MEGA respawn bug * Added pd_zombies and pd_meat maps * Added Persistent Key behavior (cnt = 1) to func_door and trigger_usekey * Added candle.mdl from Rogue and light_candle qc from Honey Here's a new version of the FGD for JACK users The RC1 version above was untested and had some errors.
I'm getting realy mad about this.
Have made some soundtriggers in 11KHz, 8Bit, Mono timeds ago and everithing works. Now, after loading the new version over it, I did the same and nothing happens. Message" Couldn't load Tried to load some original dump/..wav and also the same message. Made a new directorie, reloaded files, deleted working files and also nothing. What have I done wrong? Well it's really hard to know what you have done with out seeing your hard drive and directories. So a few questions:
What do you mean by loading a new version over it? Do you mean a new progs_dump? If so then, what version are you using? Each version of progs_dump should be treated as a separate mod. I never intended for people to "upgrade" or overwrite those files. I will make sure this is clear in the readme if I didn't already. Did you somehow, move or overwrite your sound files? Are they still there? Most of the time these are issues with the paths. I did not touch the sound code between the different versions. My Workflow:
Created a directorie named after my project. Copyd the progs_dump in. created a new map and saved it in the map folder. made some sounds and saved it in subfolder Because of the fact that the old files work, I think that it has something to do wit the paths but I don't know where to fix this. Would it help to create a new directorie with a clean copy of progs_dump? quake's sounds filenames are relative to the sound/ subdir rather than the gamedir itself, for some reason.
so if your map contains sound/ in the name then it won't work (unless your sound is in c:/quake/$modname/sound/sound/ which is obviously stupid). if you put them in c:/quake/$modname/sounds/ then it won't work either. The folder paths are correct.
Like this. Noise: gh/example.wav The only difference is that the old files work, the new dont, the water sound in dumps folder dont works either. Would it help to create a new directorie with a clean copy of progs_dump?
Yes I would start with a fresh directory, something got messed up when you copied files around. Especially since the water sound is not working. BUT - what version are you using of progs_dump? 1.1.0 RC1? or the Jam X RC2? In the OS the path for your sound must be like so: modname/sound/mysound.wav OR modname/sound/somefoldername/mysound.wav In the editor, your sound must be: mysound.wav OR somefoldername/mysound.wav I'm using 1.1.0 and the folder/sample.wav.
I'm repairing this today till it works! best wishes Ding, Shame, Ding, Shame, Ding
Solved it! Had to change the command-line Argument in Necr-GUI to "-game modname". Argh. The was the last thing I thought. Now it works fine. Have only one little idea for the play_sound_triggerd. Could there be a spawnflagg for looped on, off? Have to turn non looped sounds of by trigger again. glad you figured that out
I need to look at that code again. It was a straight copy and paste from Rubicon 2 (or Hipnotic) so I will have to see if I can modify it. But you want a spawnflag for play_sound_triggered to start on that then toggle off correct? looping in quake is based on a flag inside the wav file itself, so hard for QuakeC to control (would have to know the length which i don't think is available, and then manually retrigger a non-looped wav, or manually kill a looped wave.
Yep I should have realized that when I posted. That's why there are two discreet sound entities, one for looped wavs with cues (or markers) and one for one-off sounds. Sorry Sgt. It's one or the other. But you can create a looping sound with these markers easily. I have a tutorial here: https://youtu.be/pj7C_igr0bs
Don't know why but the play_sound_triggered entity in my maps always loops the sound-file with or without markers. So I had to trigger it again to stop.
Did a trigger_once on a play_sound_triggerd with a soundfile without markers and the sound repeats and repeats. Did it with a trigger_relay and it happend the same.
So I now shoot two trigger_relays. The first starts the sound, the second, with a delay of the length of the sound, stops it. Have no idea why it works this way today. The first time I worked with this entity a trigger_once was enougth and the sound stops after playing. progs_dump 1.1.0 Release Candidate 3 is now available for download.
Highlights in this release: custom health on monsters trigger_take_weapon (for axe only starts) weapon_shotgun with metlslime's mdl or Slapmap's version c0burn's switchable light styles and fade / up down of lights lightning trail entities for traps and decorations (DOE) visual effects entities: play_explosion, play_tbabyexplode, play_lavasplash misc_particle_beam from Zerstörer func_fall - brush that drops upon touch trap_shooter - spikes, lasers, rockets, grenades, lavaballs, gibs and voreballs "retriggerable" func_train with custom sounds new sample maps for reference http://www.quaketastic.com/files/single_player/mods/progs_dump-1.1.0-RC3.zip http://www.quaketastic.com/files/screen_shots/pd_rc3-1.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/screen_shots/pd_rc3-2.png The final version will be released some time in June. For folks who may have missed it due to spam posts tamping this down. Still working on the final version, should be out by the end of June.
The final will have a few new features and a proper hub for the test levels: ** Added func_bob and misc_bob (RennyC adapted from AD) ** Added misc_sparks (Rubicon2) ** Added misc_particles (misc_splash from Rubicon2) ** Added sight_trigger - monsters fire targets upon seeing the player ** Added keep_ammo to Ogre, Soldier and Enforcer (no "DropBackpack" if set to 1) |
