Func_Msgboard: Chasm_quake

Posted by madfox on 2019/09/29 11:55:14

I read a lot of toppics about the possibillity of making a chasm quake convertion. As with the discusion about beez it often ends up whith a lot of whisfull thinking.
Here my intention to do make a chasm.quake devkit.

So far I've got the models in Quake running, but only on "notarget" function. If you have any ideas here is a devkit with the results.
There is still a lot to be done before all subroutines are cleaned up. For some I have a solution, but there are a lot of double poses in them.

To be done:
- stripping the frames for double action.
- adding the attack pain and death qc.
- eventually change the weapons and attack.
- adjusting the sound files.
- making maps for it with the chasm.wad
- extracting the cieling/floor parts.

Here's the first part of The Sewer map I'm making to try out the first three monsters Stratos - Faust and Spider.

sewer1
sewer2
sewer3

I know it is a rather big chunk of work.
I just do it for fun and have no commercial intrest.
Just my urge to see that bastards run in Quake.
:P

I don't think the worm should be the same size as a shambler

It should be the same size as shub niggurath

And the three other bosses should be the size of the shambler

Frame Count

That could be the right seize.

At the moment I wonder how to convert the large model frame count to a 0.1 counter of Quake.
In pain poses it is usefull to minimize this count because of the time that the entity starts its run pose again.

I don't know which time counter Chasm uses, for what I experienced I scaled the textures to 0.5 and the entities to 0.25.
Still a lot of textures are missing, they are used in statics of mdl parts, and need to be extracted one by one.
The entities use framecounts that are twice of Quake.

So painframe count of 46 is not a way to go.
The same goes for the attack scenes.

@_yeh1 : What is your idea of the movements and attacks of the chasm faust, stratos and spider?

Scorpion: Perfect

Faust, rocket needs to be homing, maybe missing one melee attack

Stratos, movement is fine, missing the kick attack.

sorry, both the faust's melee attacks are there, just checked in dosbox

And some minor stuff, like each of the faust's melee attack deals 15 damage instead of 20

Chasm Bat

It's something in the random melee attack I'm not really sure of.
Last death frame of stratos is trembling.

I made a new chasm_bat from one of the statics.

While I think the rocket trail of the stratos is really cool, if it cannot be done, then just make the stratos shoot twin rockets
