You make a quake map and load it in the DUSK sdk

do whatever just let me do this
shy hatch
Think i remember some dudes talking about how to make DUSK maps without quake, lemme see if i can find it
shy hatch
Ah yes, from what i remember you don't actually need the id1 folder (the actual game files) to run it
So you can just download a sourceport for quake, and use that as the base
shy hatch
you then get the DUSK textures .wad (available in the #dusk-modding channel's pins)
and use that

is there a way that i could possibly map in J.A.C.K
shy hatch

Also, sheesh, the Paracausalist hero class has got a rather nasty camp skill called Trepanning.
"Trepanning, also known as trepanation, trephination, trephining or making a burr hole (the verb trepan derives from Old French from Medieval Latin trepanum from Greek trypanon, literally "borer, auger") is a surgical intervention in which a hole is drilled or scraped into the human skull."
This will greatly reduce his stress, but has a chance of hurting him AND also inflict stress on the party.

Hey everyone! Iยดm new here, you could say that i am "New Blood" (hehe). Joined through Ultrakill, which is amazing and Iยดm interested in starting somekind of development project and thought that modding would be a fun undertaking. Do you guys have any tips on what games would be a good experience to make a mod for?

ZDoom is a bit obtuse, but very flexible and welcoming for being based on a game from 1993. :v

Basically, anything with a proper toolkit, above-average documentation, and an active community is going to be a comfortable place to start.

(G)ZDoom is decent start on mapping

Source is also relatively good to start modding on afaik
hazy sorrel
tho its not great if you plan do some verticality

Source is a pretty good engine for modding too. Shows its age a bit, and it's not as convenient for developers as more modern engines, but it's not hard to wrap your head around with a little stubbornness.

map 03?
unique trellis
no, in order of all the custom stuff you've made for doom
lofty shore
its actually a remake of the third map i made, so I guess like the seventh
unique trellis
mm okay
i thought map 01 had some basic detailing but good design & layout
on maps 01 - 03, the ones i've played so far, the things placement looks kinda lazy as there were barely any health pickups & i was constantly at 30% hp
i liked map 02's interesting details like the lighting changing at the beginning, floors lowering to reveal stuff like the red key & the plasma gun rampage
that's really good ๐
various switches that are textured with their opposites on that map though
map03 feels like an extension of map 01 with the same amount of quality just bumped up higher; rocket launcher secret & chaingunners lowering from ceiling are nice touches
im playing map 04 right now and i'll try to dissect map 01 - 03 in udb

dont think this went unnoticed, the windows showing what the switches do is really good

I'm a firm believer you need to show the player what the switches do, or have very good idea of what door it will open
unique trellis
ooh you were right about the quality getting better, map 05 & 06 are lookin good
lofty shore
yea
oh....if you're playing on UV
just know Map 07
is meant to be very hard
even if you have weapons from other levels
unique trellis
oh lordy
lofty shore
i was told to do a variation of dead simple
so i went with Simply Dead
just take it slow
don't flip any switches until you're sure all the other monsters are dead
and if you get archevile jitters, do not panic
unique trellis
noted 
lofty shore
twelve mancubi
not at once but that's how many you have to kill to beat drop the wall around the switch which will kill all the caged cyberdemons
lofty shore
thank you

phew

yeah i gotta alter it
so that switch will kill cyberdemons
then after they die a wall drops to reveal the end switch
cause I genuinely believe its too hard at the start, but then drops to 0 fast

these chaingunners, man
this is nearing plutonia cruel lol

yup, i learned that a while ago, and was getting bored of vanilla doom, and figured i'd do one level where i used UDMF Open GL features
i still won't design levels that feature crouching or mandatory jumping
cause it should be designed with doom first
unless otherwise specified
I'm guessing Map08 wasn't a problem for you
unique trellis
yeah im on map 09 right now
lofty shore
Good, cause i'm proud of map 08, and it was originally map 05, but it made the difficulty spike too much at once, so putting it as 08, its more of a cooldown
unique trellis
nice texture work 
lofty shore
yea
unique trellis
not sarcastic either, this is real clever
lofty shore
you can tell that the first three maps were earlier efforts
Oh i did that in map 06 too
lofty shore
OH yeah that texture, i need to fx thatand make it a wall
and the intro to that level
in UV its a diifferent experience than the lower difficulties
cause you might think blocking sight and sound is a cheat
until you get to the floor
and sinc eyou killed that baron you activated the monsters
lofty shore
AYYYYY YOU FIGURED IT OUT

been getting used to the HL:A source 2 map editor. first project is a remake of my house before and after the remodel. and getting aquantied with all the new keybinds and the mesh based editor that S2 is. nice that you no longer have to prevent leaks and the asset selection window/menu is super nice. and the ability to just straight drag and drop props into the 3d window is a nice QOL feature. the simulate physics tool is really fun and handy. i imagine the ability to simulate physics on a object can make certain scenes look much better also really cool thing you can do with it is place a prop static tarp and then simulate physics on it for making cool moments with tarps covering things. or go the route of making it into bed covers.
really impressive though theres quite a learning curve at first.

Yeah I've heard the source 2 editor is amazing, it's a shame that the engine isn't available to developers currently ๐ฆ
I've never actually done any source engine coding.

i want to get into coding once i've figured the model editor/map editing side of things out.
one of the nice things is that they have dedicated material editor program/model program meaning the days of manually entering text for each model/material are now gone.

Question for people who understand C# better than I do: What the hell does a += b *= c * d mean? How is C# handling this line of code? Does this mean a = a + b = b * c * d and C# is handling a complex assignment operation or is this just gibberish?
I was debugging my code and I had a line where I did something similar to this. Is this even legal code? Apparently I've been playtesting my game with this, where a represents the velocity, b is the direction the player travels, c is acceleration and d is deltaTime.
I removed the equals sign but I can't fathom why this didn't throw a compiler error on visual studio or say something about multiple assignment operations on a single line. Guess I've never tried saying a = b = c with C languages before.
unique trellis
that ia garbage
a = b = c is fine and easy to understand
That thing you wrote is unacceptable by clean coding standards
you can surely make sense out of it but no self respecting programmer would write it
If you really want to go for it expressions on the right side are evaluated first
so it would do b * c * d, then a + b, and assign the result to a
I wonder if it even compiles though
I strongly encourage you to not use a syntax like that, keep things to a variable to the left to which you assign the result of an operation on the right and that's it
tranquil oracle
@coarse token That's legal code, but please never write that again
It's equivalent to
b *= c * d;
a += b;```I was about to correct myself
coarse token
yeah my line is supposed to say a += b * c * d but it said b *= c * d for some reason. I think I meant to say b *= c * d or something and then forgot about it

wintry warren
What is +=?
coarse token
the same exact thing
sharp vortex
x++ and x += are not the same thing unless you are only incrementing by 1
in that case, just use ++
it's quicker
"+=" is x = x + new value and can be used for higher incrementation
x++ is just x = x + 1 strictly, and a shorthand for it
coarse token
I was referring specifically to x += 1.
also I'm reasonably certain a lot of languages have a way to change the step used by ++, or maybe I'm thinking of engines but I remember doing ++ as 2.
weird but it worked I guess. prolly bad practice
also possible I'm remembering something completely different.

does anyone have any tips?
should i start out with making my own game with my own low poly models?

If you get to a point where you start thinking "aight this is the sort of stuff I'd expect to see in a game, this is quality" (or are already there) go for a Twitter account to share your stuff
Those can really help
Whatever you want to set out for yourself man
I do a bit of both, I've got a good idea of what I want to make in the coming years but I don't just stick to that
If I get a good idea I do it
You do you

Hey New Blood modders!
A brand new MAPEDIT has been released for Blood, which brings the 25 tool very up to date...
It's still DOS but has a TON of QOL improvements, extends the archaic limits, adds brand new triggers, commands, and ability to add brand new enemies to Blood!
http://cruo.bloodgame.ru/xmapedit/
This new tool supersedes old rusty MAPEDIT as it has a lot of quality life improvements, lots of bugs fixed and more. Click the link and find out!
Here's some more of the voodoo you can do now
ANGLED SPRITES......
I never thought I'd see DOSBox and QOL in the same sentenxe
Next move down road is that elusive Windows editor.... But this is pretty awesome especially for those of us using Mapedit for 25 years to make Blood stuff

In other news, I made a rudimentary "mood" system for monsters!
Just added a few "mood" properties to the Actor for the game to keep track of and check.
MoodFight, MoodAnger, and matching "thresholds," specifically. MoodFight and MoodAnger can be added to or subtracted from in any state, and friendly and hostile variations of states can be called upon depending on those variables.
Right now, I have a friendly Pinky that gazes longingly into your eyes when it sees you, but if you keep shooting it without killing it, the anger and fight levels rise with each pain state.
Once it crosses the set threshold for fight, it switches over to hostile states. After reaching the anger threshold, its attack rate doubles.
lean gyro
Now I just need a way for the monster to know who's attacking it. I don't want them getting pissed off at the player because an imp is wailing on them.
I think it might require custom weapons too. ๐ฐ
candid dawn
mood isnt used enough for npcs imo, it sounds like a good way to power interesting behaviors
like sims but instead of like wetting themselves or unleash special attacks

ultrakill enraged but is doom ๐
lean gyro
Should add a "fear" variable.
Each enemy that dies within range of someone increases their fear level. The more you kill, the more they freak out.
If they do damage to you, the fear goes back down.
After a certain threshold, they hit "panic mode" and just run. :V
Now that I know it's possible, I need to actually write out some kind of plan for this.

Is gloomwood going to have mods ?
astral night
probably not
lethal heart
Why? it would be a great addition.
astral night
which would take years to implement

Years? Dusk has md support and the game didn't take that long to make. It's not like they have spent 10 years to make it.
astral night
dusk's SDK has been in some form of development since 2018
spare scarab
Still aint done btw
tranquil oracle
The SDK as you all now know it was largely developed in late 2019
hazy sorrel
not even close
astral night
things like modding support and multiplayer are massive projects for a team our size to undertake
tranquil oracle
Prior to that it was a lot of experimentation and research
astral night
we'd love to add these features but we do need to pick and choose which games we do them for
lethal heart
Oh, so will basically have to code gloomwood from scratch if they have mod support?
tranquil oracle
No, Gloomwood's been somewhat designed with it in mind, in the hopes that we could do something eventually
But there are no guarantees
Right now the focus is making the game
lethal heart
ok thanks.

astral night
AE is not complete. there's a major expansion pack in the works as you know 
spare scarab
oh yeah i forgot
lethal heart
What about game modes? Do they take long to make?
astral night
that largely depends on what kind of mode it is
things like endless modes are fairly straight forward
lethal heart
For example a horde game mode for gloomwood.
You also have to make big maps for it right?
astral night
aye, but in a lot of cases assets from the main campaign can be reused for it
spare scarab
like the cathedral endless map for dusk i guess_
lethal heart
I haven't heard about that.

I kinda wonder if E1MS2 could be repurposed as a larger endless map
spare scarab
the swamp level?
tranquil oracle
Yeah
spare scarab
that would be seeck

lethal heart
A "Guns blazing" game mode for gloomwood would be hard to make?
Give the player all of the guns, way more ammo, more enemies and let then let the player finish the campaign.
spare scarab
so easy mode?
astral night
that could pretty much be done with cheat codes
lethal heart
Are you going to have cheat codes in the game?
tranquil oracle
There already are cheat codes
tranquil oracle
You can enable the console using an .ini file in the game folder
lethal heart
Can you have infinite ammo?
tranquil oracle
I'm not sure if that's available in the demo but I'm pretty sure that cheat exists now

I have a passing interest in learning how to make custom maps for DUSK, but I'm not sure if I should start with Trenchbroom or just wait for some official tools to get added to the SDK, thoughts?
hazy sorrel
map editor wont be made specifically for dusk, that why several bsp formats were adopted so you can use whatever existing map tools you like
but you should ask about that in #dusk-modding
most ppl are probably more familiar with trenchbroom
in my experience its quite easy and fast to get used to it
feral kite
Trenchbroom is fantastic
That's basically all you'll need for most games with levels built dusk's

winged shard
been doing experiments with HL1 difficulty tweaks. has resulted in a medium+ difficulty that buffs xenians to be in line with the hard difficulty as well as having the hard battery and HP values on medium. Human grunts are the same as medium as they are more fun with the normal amount of HP and damage values.
drop this in the half-life\valve folder. make a backup of the file to see original values/revert to vannilla. you can also instead just validate game files through steam to revert the changes
balanced for the vanilla HL1 campaign.
TLDR is it makes meduim have harder xen monsters and HP and battery items/chargers give less

what is your technique for speedmapping?
robust ridge
Use dev textures to save time texturing and start making room after room, then put a switch there and there and see where the movement flow goes.
Then add some monsters and weapons/ammo and test the action.
I mean, i really have no idea. Literally did those maps after 7 years of not mapping, so the whole purpose was to break the curse of not mapping.
I do know how to balance monsters/ammo very tightly, but other than that, my maps are mostly square-like.
The speedmaps ended up nice, as I didn't had to worry about textures or themes.

in vanilla doom, there are no bullet holes or decals of any kind

can you do multiple textures on a single linedef?

The rendering clipping often becomes a hall of mirrors instead, unless the sourceport have an option to toggle hom off.

does anyone in here know how to make a two sided sprite in unity?
coarse token
forgive me if I'm stupid and confusing sprits with something else- because I'm not a graphics guy by any stretch- but couldn't you just have two identical sprites or have one that rotates in order to face the camera
what's the view of your game like
keen bear
yeah a sprite is by definition one-sided only
you would want to swap it to a different sprite that suits the perspective based on the cameras position relative to the sprite
white sage
couldnt you render a sprite with backface culling off?
unless you're using GL_POINTS sprites
late raft
it's a 2d game in unity and i have two different sprite sheets for both sides of the character
and yeah i could just flip him but thats not what i want
@white sage i'm not using a polygon based sprite
@keen bear any advice on how to do that?
coarse token
what do you mean a 2 sided sprite in a 2d game? You only see one face in a 2d game
shy hatch
think he's talking about two different sprites, one for right one for left
and not just having one sprite flipped
white sage
sprites usually point directly at the camera.
You could change what sprite it's displaying depending on the viewing angle (like doom)
This is called a "billboard"
coarse token
Yeah I would just go with two sprites then, idk what else you would do. I'd need to like see what you're trying to do

use one sprite and change its texture based on viewing angle

at what point do you want the sprite to not be the current sprite my man
is it based off what the player is seeing?

one sprite is showing the left side of the character and the other is showing the right
