In my old age I cheat all the time and just start googling stuff, man. It reminds me of a lot of 60s-80s fantasy films... Excalibur for example... You clearly know what you're doing, just what I do when I need idears
viscid sandal
Not so much cheating as looking for inspiration, but with what I'm trying to do with the visuals it hasn't helped much, the entire final chapter takes place on a world thats been merged with the body of an elder god, so everythings meant to have an organic look to it, hr geigers work is the closest thing I could find to what I'd like, but thats not saying much since his works style isn't exactly what I'm going for.

I love making levels that have some real weird things... Like lava pools bursting forth in a hospital and weird Stranger Things holes and etc... I don't think I could make a Call of Duty battle map ever π
pulsar gust
Do many user maps use burning dudes as enemies? That's pretty unique
unique trellis
No they aren't. There is a trick I think if their initial burn running animation (or in this case, their spawning) is interrupted they continue to "live" and do this... It makes sense in a level with fire everywhere, floors exploding etc

Is anyone here good with Vectors in Unity? Because I am at a hell of a loss right now.
I'm trying to find an objects velocity between a forward vector and perpendicular vector, then apply it in the same direction as that velocity. I know what I have to do, I just have no fucking clue how to do it.
desert notch
It's probably more just necessary to look up math regarding those type of units in 3D space, it's not really specialized in Unity by itself
I don't know what that type of math is called but I'm sure there are some formulas online for adding or multiplying together vectors which is kind of what is sounds like you need for that kind of action
signal whale
Trying to figure this out is mentally exhausting. I have been asking around a few sources for hours, and nobody can quite give me the right solution I need. It's always a part of a solution.
Some dick said I should "learn a basic understanding of linear algebra if I want to pursue game development"
signal whale
I think I'm scrapping what I have and using Unity's wheel colliders. I am not getting the results I need with this custom controller. I think I just need a break from it for a few days.

@unique trellis Huh, TIL why that glitch happens in Blood. I used to think it was just a quirk of zombies that they randomly wouldn't die from being set on fire due to being dead and all.
desert notch
is something like this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.Cross.html what you are looking for? @signal whale
unique trellis
@cerulean pumice there 3 in the engine, cultist, zombie and innocents on fire. It is a state and graphics change of the units... If they get stuck in on fire mode only way to kill them is lava or explosions

I've always thought that whole argument was funny, as long as it's performant and I can read the code then it doesn't matter what it looks like lol

Anyone know how to get an instantiated prefab to get the reference to a game object? So like I have a collectable spawn and go to the player, but it has no idea what the player is.
Wait. Fuck me sideways. I think I just fixed it. I do this all the time on here.
Nvm. I did not fix yet. Damn.
desert notch
if it's something that always goes to the player you can put a reference to the player into the script for collectible
you can also make them find objects that contain the component that is your player script on start and store it or something like that, there are many ways to approach that

So excited to share this...
The current group of mappers and hackers are coming together for one last hurrah for Blood.... A revision of Blood 2 in BUILD, basically a WHAT IF version that could have existed before work on Lithtech occurred. Before Gideon.and before aliens... A modern world run by Cabalco and a great evil, where Caleb is accidently woken from a cryo deep freeze, fight into the countryside's and a surreal wasteland and has to take it to Hell itself.
Blood 2: Reopened Wounds? Reloaded? Picked the Scab? We don't have a name π π π
This will be a true total conversion as close as you can get without a source code release π we have guys who have mastered exe hacking and added new and alternate weapons... It's 1993 all over again, our own Blood Dehacked (minus the easy to use program π ) using tools from the leaked alpha release they've figured out how to add unusued enemy slots, reprogram attacks, Change sizes and shapes.... And have a whole slew of new monstrosities to deal with.
Texture work is pretty much done, just working on enemy sprites and ideas and the design doc before mapping... This is a crappy mock-up of a new monster, meat clones, which will swarm en masse and suffocate you (literally and figuratively)..
It will released WHEN ITS DONE... Not ππ€£π
Death Wish, Iconolast, Bloody Pulp Fiction, Bloodlines... and this to go out with a bang.
One last drop of Blood. I... Live... Again!
unique trellis
Like a basic official game plan... 3 days ago haha... Talking about it, months... The texture pack is done, finalize enemy behaviors and stuff is next, hard to design maps without knowing what's lurking.. then mapping. Probably 1st quarter 2019. Should be getting a level or two from the last great Blood mappers... It may be like Amid Evil with 3 maps and a boss but that's ok.. quality first, then others can use the resources we've curate or we can expand and add more
Flying enemies, hording enemies, multi stage bosses, etc
It's going to be a hoot

I just wish I could put my favorite moment from blood in but unfortunately I doth not have the technology.
unique trellis
No one does. No source code ππ€£
viscid sandal
@unique trellis nah not in that way. My favorite moment from blood whilst not amazing from hindsight kind of originated from my understanding of 90s shooters when I first played blood. When I first played it my only experiences in that regard were doom and a little bit of quake, I had never played nor heard of a build engine game before it. The moment being level 2 of episode 1 when you walk up the stairs to see pedestrians running and screaming as cultist are mowing them down and zombies are hacking them to pieces, all whilst someone is yelling train names and leave times over the intercom. It was so much more... "Cinematic" in regards to what I had seen other 90s shooters done at the time and despite the fact I was playing it in 2014 it kind of blew my mind.
I can't really do it though because... Infighting and sprite turning reasons.
And despite the fact that it's really not as impressive as I remember it being I still love it for the memory of that experience alone, that and it's a memorable chunk of level.

unique trellis
Yeah I'm letting scope creep make me take on more maps than I should. I may have to whittle down one or combine a couple... Blood is so weird, too... Flying enemies cannot be on top of water or sectors with a depth setting like water, slime, etc... π or they start spinning in circles... So many little "joys" in this engine
viscid sandal
I have a plethora of my own little joys with my engine, like having a max enemy limit of 16 lest the framerate go funny, sometimes only 7 or 8. Animations won't play unless the player is looking in their direction or its parented to an object that all encompasses the players view and as a result if you open a door with a switch it might not open til you get there. Sounds that react to the 3d space start out louder than they should because without other sounds to compare it to it just jumps to the highest volume setting
And many many more
unique trellis
Fun stuff π
Oh this is good. I was ignorant and didn't recognize this only the famous Brooklyn Bridge... I thought it was some Italian thing. I read they filmed this zombie scene illegally by flooding the bridge it's why the cars are going.. could you believe what that'd be like seeing it?!

I can just make the bridge and enclose with sky, high bridge walls, etc. you just can't ever jump off the bridge... maybe, maybe not got another idea for that π Just having long horizon line maps is hard without skybox capability

@frozen wadi guess you been doing level design for a while?
frozen wadi
yeah, 15 years
versed anchor
Damn! guessing professionally now?
frozen wadi
yup
versed anchor
Currently my profession is a level 2 software engineer in academia but definitely want to get out of that x.x
im at that point in my life that I realize... I want to craft worlds... not apps for students π
frozen wadi
hehe, well I always wanted to make maps
not sure why exactly, I just knew I wanted to
versed anchor
same. been doing it since doom 2
actually my earliest memories were maps on Duke Nukem
frozen wadi
ah, I never tried mapster
I tried making doom maps with doombuilder but sector-based level design makes me have brainfarts
versed anchor
my path of work was never of passion but of necessity since I already started web dev starting a forum doing post by post RPGs
thus was a segway into web dev... thus into school based tech... thus into working for a university
frozen wadi
@golden bloom started making a map for blood using the version of mapster bundled with it (in dosbox!) but I'm not sure where it's at
versed anchor
dosbox is awesome
π
Also regarding your worry about torches. That is in there for aesthetic. I mean to replace that with DuskWorld related entities
I may not even use that map but... you never know
frozen wadi
yeah, I didn't know this was for duskworld before, so this isn't a worry
it's just that quake can be annoying with these entities, even if the limits have increased significantly
versed anchor
really im just getting used to the editor so when things go live I can get a map out soon π
frozen wadi
it's cool there is support for trenchbroom with duskworld, it's such a cool editor
versed anchor
@frozen wadi guessing you are working on some map ideas?
frozen wadi
I already have the ideas, I'm designing stuff (but not for duskworld)
frozen wadi
mostly quake
versed anchor
ah okay
im used to a bit of BSP editing from HL and even Unreal games
but I have been trying my best to get into games that use static meshes mostly.
frozen wadi
I just really love BSP so I find it hard to go for meshes only
versed anchor
Right and there are limitations to BSP only but you lose that aesthetic
so people like me though now need a 3D modeler, work on a low graphical game or work with a BSP editor when working on a game
π
frozen wadi
yeah, but it's pretty telling that probuilder is so popular in unity
I know a few people who use it constantly because it's so much faster than creating meshes for everything
versed anchor
Right. I wonder though if that is for prototyping purposes
at least to flesh out the rough areas
frozen wadi
not really in their case, they use it for architecture too and use meshes for finer detail
all mesh is great when you have a team, but it's pretty unrealistic if you're alone unless you're really really good at it
versed anchor
right. I know the dev of rise to ruins and he is alone. Does coding and pixel art himself

I think Keg is referring to something like resource WADs for Doom, but for Quake. Quake 1 has some that get used (IK textures as an old example) but I don't know where to find them besides asking on a Quake 1 forum or looking on Quaddicted
pulsar gust
Lookins good @unique trellis ! Love urban blood maps
versed anchor
yeah sorry I meant wads
I found some on a quake website
trying to get a map going for DUSK so that when its out I can just swap textures and entities
frozen wadi
quaddicted has tons of wads
this is maybe where you got them, but it's good to have this bookmarked if you make quake maps
unique trellis
@pulsar gust I'm working now to just finish the map above. There were sosny things I didn't know when I made it 20 yrs ago and new discoveries in mapedit and blood just last few months, but have to limit the scope sometime. I'm following the WHEN ITS DONE mentality though
Since it's set in 90s trying to make it fit that time frame.. added an arcade machine and some other stuff coming soon.. pay phones etc

Best to update GZDoom as often as possible.

95% of the time it fixes

That 5% of the time it doesn't work is probably because the mod maker made a typo that requires you to downgrade.

I'm still using 1.8.06 as base because of cross-sourceport compatibility. Anything that runs on 1.8.06 will most likely run on d-touch and zandronum. The higher version of gzdoom the mod requires, the lower the chances of making it work on both d-touch and zandronum (I know there's delta touch and zandronum might soon will be updated with a newer gzdoom version, but still.

cerulean pumice
I've been working on that dusk sound mod on and off again. Because the SDK won't be out for a long, long time, I had the clever idea to use video and sound editing to simulate what the finished product would look like.
I have 3 candidates for the final Pistol sound so far, arranged from most-likely to least-likely. I threw away that old sound because it was just too thin for me.
Also turn up your volume by around 15 to 20. Youtube fucked with the volume when I uploaded this

i wish there was a brutal doom2016
near mortar
Honestly if you amped up the gore for Turok somehow I'd legitimately be impressed
Because at that point I think you'd basically just turn it into soldier of fortune 2
By the way, I think the third sample is the most befitting for the handgun in Dusk, @cerulean pumice
cerulean pumice
I liked that one too, but I like crispier sounds which is why I put sample #1 first. Thanks for the input
Also I hope you're joking drek
it's real
near mortar
And oh my god all it does is make enemies shoot balls that spew ketchup and relish
Wait a minute did he make the double barreled pump shotgun a single barrel
Why would you ruin such an amazingly stupid weapon
Anyways, the reason I said #3 was the best in my opinion is because you want something punchy but that fits the power of the weapon. At least, that's what I think anyhow.
cerulean pumice
Turok 1 didn't have a double barrel, it had a single barrel and an auto-shotgun
near mortar
Ah okay
cerulean pumice
Yeah, #2 was way overpowered for how weak the pistol in Dusk is. 1 is kind of beefy, but it's missing a punch to it that 3 has
near mortar
I assumed this was for Turok 2 because I didn't realize that Turok 1 was on steam with workshop
cerulean pumice
turok 2 doesn't even have a workshop
the developers were too lazy to put it in
even after years of requests
there's a "turok sanctum" instead
and I hate this place because they republished a mod I made without permission
near mortar
That's low
Also, personally I think #2 would just get annoying really really fast
The "squeal" of sorts it makes at the end of the firing sound makes it way too obvious the same sound is being repeated, and it also grates on the ears if done repeatedly.
The other two however fairly smoothly work with repetition
Something fairly important when primarily when you use the pistol you're likely going to be using dualies and thus rapidly repeating the firing sounds
cerulean pumice
Well, I was hoping with the SDK you could tweak it so the sound plays with pitch variation, kind of like how Source does it
near mortar
I think with #2 that might just offer up more problems actually
cerulean pumice
The good thing is that no matter which one I choose, I can simply use the other for the Soldier's weapon like how the shotgun for the player and scarecrow sounds different
near mortar
That "squeal" is pretty distinct in #2 and if you pitch shift it, that might end up making it sound weird and thus drawing attention to the fact that it's just the same sound pitch shifted
The other two however work well enough when repeated that pitch shifting would likely help conceal it
cerulean pumice
I hate that squeal, it was in the original sound and I could do nothing to mask it http://www.audiomicro.com/famas-f1-grenade-grenade-launcher-royalty-free-stock-music-951028
near mortar
Looking into it, I think the Famas uses an older style muzzle mount for grenade launching purposes
That's probably why there's a squeal

I always have mixed feelings
when it comes to ReShade
nor any other post processing effect
near mortar
You could probably also just not install reshade
I never actually downloaded it myself because that's a hell of a lot of bandwidth
wraith beacon
I only just started tinkering with Reshade, not really a fan though I've only really been tinkering with it in Quake Spasm.
near mortar
ReShade can be a godsend for making games look gorgeous if used right
The problem is that if you want the best one for yourself, you basically have to handmake it
you also have to experiment a lot with the options to see what does what and how it blends with that and so on
Almost every preset for any given game has blown-out gamma and fake lens flares and a dirt overlay on the camera and fake DoF
all of the worst effects you could slap over a game
and yet despite being so overly bright like the sun is going supernova, they also tend to make the game look absurdly dark if any amount of shade or darkness is cast
so a weak shadow suddenly turns into an endless void of darkness
In the end though you're likely better off just finding a mod that makes the actual lighting in-game better and stuff
wraith beacon
Post processing is just post processing, I love giving games fun post processing stuff but in the case of Quake Spasm a lot of the fun stuff simply didn't work.

@dusky trench Is that really true? Can you replace Dusk's assets already without the SDK? That would help a lot in deciding whether #1 or #3 is the right sound for me.
Also, does GZDoom really support a feature that Duke Nukem 3D has had for 22 years?
dusky trench
Yes, right clicking an asset in the dropdown box should be a replace option.

@cerulean pumice I put together a quick patch that lets you replace the pistol sound by putting a "pistol.wav" file in the game folder for you, if you want it
Extract into the game folder, replace files, put your own pistol.wav in the same folder as Dusk.exe

The yellow circle is the combo kill. (like the hit combo on kof, but with dead enemies)
The circle shows how much time left you have before the combo breaks and starts back to 0.
The higher the combo, the more health (on >5 combo), armor (>15) and ammo ( >40. it reloads your magazine on >50) you gain per kill.

Here's the shotgun from the upcoming Dusk sound replacement. David's heard this one before, but it's a little better than the last time. As usual, you gotta raise your volume by like 15-20 because Youtube likes making Dusk quiet for some reason. https://youtu.be/NE1ID7z-jHw
Also a revamped pistol--thanks 500_pts
I tried out a trial of a software called "MaxxBass" I heard of from an Uncharted sound guy that's apparently very good at filling in bass. Helps a lot
@pine carbon check this shit out

@heady coyote Which version of the patch did you use, where did you put the sound, what did you name it and what format was it in?
Use this one https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/431185291831803904/469356005696995338/DuskWeaponAudioReplacer.7z
Extract it into the Dusk game folder, replace files when asked
Then make a folder called Sounds, in there, put your pistol sound (called Pistol.wav), it has to be a wav file

I used the second one and put the sound in the sound folder and renamed it Pistol.wav

does it matter wat I open .wav files with?
tranquil oracle
nope
near mortar
It might perhaps matter if the file was recorded as a wav to begin with or if you changed something else to a wav file via a tool or something
I tried converting a youtube video into a wav file and then snipping out the gunshot sound I wanted for my pistol and it ended up working but it created this extremely long grating repetitious grindy noise
after the actual firing sound
Whereas I dream of fruit seems to use sound files that were already wavs and it seems to work fine for him

You might have to take it into audacity and cut any dead air
cerulean pumice
@heady coyote good shit
@near mortar PRO-TIP: you can use Audacity to record any audio into .WAV format. Skip that mp4 conversion nonsense. All you need to do is select "Stereo Mix" or something like that under the microphone tab and then hit the big red Record button.
slender knoll
hehe audacity used to be a curse word when I was studying sound engineering back in the day. Gets the job done tho especially when you use it like that.
pulsar gust
Don't let anyone shame you away from Audacity, it's an incredibly useful program
Not sure why anyone would want to open up their expensive DAW and deal with a longer loading time just to record a snippet through stereo mix when audacity does the same job in less time
slender knoll
yea exactly :D
as I said if you use it for stuff like that it's just fine
but when you start recording multiple tracks of sound at the same time it gets pretty sketchy
tho I havent used it for at least four years so who knows - could be alot more versatile than back then.
tranquil oracle
@cerulean pumice Why record it when you can just open the audio file and re-export to WAV?
topaz breach

keen bear
yeah @cerulean pumice that is better, feels full bodied now
i think the only improvement i can think of is that you can feel the rolloff and ramp up of the bass in each independent shot so successive shots blend in a weird way
im not 100% on how youd overcome that with the primitive tools you have right now
but youll have a lot more control of it with the full sdk
including direct access to all of unity's audio features
cerulean pumice
I didn't mean recording the movie converted down into an audio file, I meant just recording the video itself through the stereo mix to skip that step and prevent the distorted noise.
Also @keen bear I mentioned this before but Dusk itself reduces the volume of the pistol by 3-4dB so I had to use a hard limiter to compensate. That's why you can't hear the bass that well. The actual audio file has a ton of low-end subwoofer bass
here's the raw V2 from the video as well as the V3 I haven't shown off yet
When the SDK comes out, I'll try to make it so Dusk randomizes the pitch of the shot slightly so it's less repetitive

Has anyone in here either located or have organized the Blood 2 sounds? Like what each .WAV file plays? Some are obvious (phonering1) but Caleb quotes are not

@unique trellis You can extract them all with a tool called Game Extractor. It puts each of the files into a marked folder like "weapons" or "world". I have a copy in my personal mod library along with Shogo
Oh, I get what you're saying. All the voice clips are unlabelled
typical early Lithtech jank at work
also TIL lithtech 1.0 considers all debris to be "GIBS" in-engine

Yeah. Didn't know if someone over the last 20 years had went through and chronicled those

I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth but the Dusk naudio.dll causes crashing upon exiting the game @tranquil oracle
just something I'd point out before the real mod tools are released
tranquil oracle
the actual mod tools don't even use NAudio so it's no issue
cerulean pumice
cool, just thought I mention it in the meantime
reminds me of Fallout where multi-threaded audio would make the game crash on exit

I'm not too worried about it, as long as you can replace the sounds and it works while the game's running

So while I was looking into free alternatives to the bass boost plugin I was using, I discovered an old gear forum that totally trashed MaxxBass because it didn't actually boost bass but rather increased upper harmonics to trick your brain into thinking there's more bass
Weird, huh?
Anyway, I tried the free one he mentioned and I gotta say, the results on the pistol are significant now. It reminds me of the CS1.6 Elites now with that beefy "DONK DONK" firing sound
1st one is v3, 2nd one is the new v4
I was also able to make the shotgun pump sound much fuller using mild distortion on the 200Hz range to make a fuller "click" sound, but I don't feel like previewing that yet

"Bass boost plugin"
what? Just do basic EQ with audacity or whatever DAW you're using
You don't need a specific plugin for boosting bass frequencies

Love the Bass Boosted pistol sounds.
near mortar
@pulsar gust He already tried that and for some reason Dusk lowers the decibels automatically leading to even bass filled gunshot sounds turning wimpy in-game
I guess he's trying to boost it even further than normal

Either way, his work is nice so far.

@pulsar gust It's not quite the same thing. EQ just affects the frequencies already in the sound while MDA SubSynth is supposed to work as a dedicated subharmonic generator. It's basically a synthesizer that only creates low bass tones rather than an EQ. I have to use EQ too because it fucks with the under-20Hz range which causes bad distortion.

Hmm, interesting

Make it so bass that you can't hear the actual sounds anymore.

NEEDS MORE BASS
this enough for you? @topaz breach
I am 100% certain this is how they made that old SOF1 shotgun noise btw

god I remember seeing this old, infamous Saturn weeb lightgun game where all the guns sounded like bass boosted farts. It was crazy shit man
