are dusk custom maps still laggy or is it just me?

are dusk custom maps still laggy or is it just me?
they are
i assume it's because of high amount of objects on some of them
quiet stump
i assume it's because of high amount of objects on some of them
Maybe. The dusk levels l’ve played have all been pretty big. I wonder if this issue of lag could be overcome by making smaller levels/putting a greater emphasis on optimization.
frail sage
i have played smaller levels and asked some mappers a year ago, its all the sdk
frail sage
i havent looked much into dusk after that, but im pretty sure the mappers would recognize dusks limitations since then and know what to optimize

I was working on a level, and found a weird glitch with the scarecrow model; its gun seems to float above it, leaving its hands empty. I would upload some screenshots, but Discord isn't letting me for some reason.
I double checked that I'm using the latest version of Dusk and the Dusk SDK, and verified the integrity of my files on Steam.
I also tried playing a normal, unmodded level, and the scarecrow looked just fine. Then I tried playing in moddable mode, and the glitch with the scarecrow model came back.

How did you compile the map? bsp or bsp2
Because I noticed the same thing with bsp2 maps, some enemies like welders and scientists sometimes lack moving animations too
Mama boss monster is completely invisible
quiet stump
Hey thanks for the reply!
Not sure if that’s the issue. At work now, will test when I get home.
I used ericw-tools for compiling. I assumed those tools defaulted to bsp. Maybe I messed something up.
quiet stump
So I checked, and it looks like I did not compile in bsp2.
In addition, I went back, and played a level of the main dusk campaign where there are scarecrows. The glitch of them having floating rifles does not appear there normally, but DOES appear when I launch the campaign in "moddable mode" on steam. So this issue doesn't seem to be related to map format. It appears to have something to do with the SDK.
ancient depot
BSP2 should definitely not have anything to do with it
Some of the animation code in the current version of the SDK on Steam is buggy, so it's likely you're just running into an issue there
quiet stump
Oh okay. Thanks!

I've uploaded a new Dusk map on steam. It's called "Pickman Memorial Hospital."
My second map for Dusk. I wanted to make something short, creepy, and claustrophobic. For inspiration, I looked at the Silent Hill games, and some of the spookier moments of Dusk and Half-Life.
I’m also including my map file. Feel free to modify/remix it in any way you’d like. I only ask that you give credit if you do so. I hope you guys like it, and I welcome any feedback.
honest stag
@quiet stump Just finished the map and recorded a little gameplay video - that was fun! Very good use of custom textures and pretty good overall layout of the map, didnt get lost of confused with the exception of a little stumble at the part where you're supposed to go under some stairs to press a button.
I'd like it more if it had some more variation to its encounters - most of them i think are resolved by backing down a hallway while an enemy runs at you. The one where a scientist jumps you from behind a corner is a good refresher for example. The very last bit with the horror had a bit more going on since you couldnt really back down too far and had to stand your ground, but overall would be neat if it had more enemies spawning in behind you, ambushing you, maybe some good old arena fights etc.
I think generally some of the hallways could use a little more detail - posters, trash on the floor, cracks in walls, ceiling lights, pipes/wires, general debris, etc. Not that the map doesnt look good - it does! The lighting in particular is a highlight of the map. But could use a little more flourish in some areas - some rooms for example are pretty much just an empty box. Some shelves, props, general brush detail would go a long way to make it feel more lived-in
I never ran out of ammo or health, which is good - but perhaps at times i felt like i had way too much ammo, i've used the shotguns as soon as i got them until the end of the map and never got close to running out of supply
example of what i mean in terms of encounters - normally you turn this corner and the priestess runs at you and you jsut backpedal while shooting at it. It would be waaay more threatening if instead it spawned in as you entered that little office room and had to frantically fight it in a tight space
mild ibex
oh the lighting in this level is nuts
quiet stump
<@725818138968719492> Just finished the map and recorded a little gameplay video...
Thank you so much!
Yeah, the lighting was definitely the thing I spent the most time on. That and finding good textures for the map.
By contrast, my approach to encounters and the actual level layout was kinda haphazard. I mostly just made a bunch of square hallways/rooms, and then tried to figure out where to put the enemies afterwards. Not the best way to go about it if I’m being honest.
I remember in one of the Half-Life anniversary docs, someone saying that you should study the tactics of your enemies, and then design your levels to best take advantage of their strengths. Definitely something I need to keep in mind in the future.
And I see what you mean about the level of detail. I wanted the place to feel barren and deserted, but I definitely went too far.
Thanks again for taking the time to play my map and share your thoughts. You’ve given me a lot to think about for my next map, and you’ve made my day.
Take care!

Hey, I'm currently trying to work on a map for dusk, and when I load my map, no textures are showing up.

func_godot does this perfectly for Godot. I recall Unity had something similar but it didn't work nearly as well as func_godot
Anyway I made these free texture packs that are also usable for Dusk

ancient depot
As far as I know the only Unity BSP loader that actually loads the collision information properly is the one I wrote for dusk
lament ore
func_godot and the unity solution I was thinking of (SabreCSG?) work off the .map rather than the BSP
ancient depot
Oh yeah if you load the
.map you have no real choice since it's only brush information
lament ore
but yeah func_godot slaps, it also has capabilities to generate FGDs and map entities to prefabs or scripts on brushes so you can actually properly build full maps within trenchbroom for godot. One of my biggest gripes with the Unity solutions were you could only make the geo in trenchbroom then do all the entity stuff in the Unity editor window
somehow after many years of being here I still don't have the mook role so I can't send the videos but I had it set up so even things like door handling in the navmesh all happened 100% in trenchbroom
o shit we finally got model replacement back in April 
ancient depot
Yeah the Unity solutions were all very half baked (whether they used .bsp or .map)
Most were just straight up terrible period
(There are several that would generate a separate mesh for every triangle in the level geometry)
That's why I opted for a completely custom loader, because yeesh

I dont recall using the texture method, i used a direct coordinate for the origin value personally
func_door_rotating requires the actual door to be placed at XYZ 0 0 0, have an "origin" property which is set to coordinates of the place where you want the door to rotate around and have a "distance" property that decides how far the dolr goes
You can also add a "speed" property for obvious things

you can find the exact coordinate for your door position by putting a point entity in that place and just looking at its position value

On Steam it’s pretty straightforward:
- Go to the steam workshop for Dusk (it’s a place where people upload their mods/ custom levels)
- Subscribe to any mods that seems interesting to you.
- Launch Dusk in “moddable mode” (you need to select moddable mode from launch options. To do this, right click Dusk in your steam library, select properties, then general, and there you should find launch options.)
- Once dusk has been opened, select “modding” from the main menu. Here, you’ll find a list of mods you’ve subscribed to.
- Select the mod you want to use, and click “apply”
- And from there you should be ready to go!
Hope this helps!

Custom weapon models are a thing, and you can change NPC health values and models
honest stag
Weapon attributes arent customisable in the current sdk, but you can change enemy sounds
late lion
what about modding like stixsmasterHD4k said?
honest stag
Youll have to ask the lead sdk dev for the full set of features in the upcoming version
Zombie
late lion
is dusk still being developed?
honest stag
Yes, the next sdk update is being developed
honest stag
i believe its already on both of those
late lion
it isn't
atleast for me i think since im on a mac and i have to use a complex solution to use it on it
honest stag
Im not sure if an update changed things then, but it used to be available on both
I dont have a mac or linux system to check myself
late lion
the base game and duskworld is
ancient depot
will macos/linux support be added in the future?
That's handled by Proton, there's no functional difference for the average player provided we ensure it's stable
honest stag
Oh you mean the moddable version?
ancient depot
On Mac you have Crossover or whatever it was called
ancient depot
Mac is a bit of a weird one because most of us don't use it (and I have never used it)
And given how the SDK functions, it wouldn't be as simple as a quick 1:1 port since the builds get structured a little differently
late lion
oh yeah one question then, will there be custom map support for duskworld or no?
ancient depot
I won't rule it out entirely but right now the focus is Windows + translation layers
The plan is to roll Duskworld into the SDK itself so it's one version of the game
late lion
ok
ancient depot
But that won't be part of the upcoming update
But yes you will be able to make custom maps for it eventually
late lion
ok one other thing
i think a developer or someone involved once said there will be a scripting thing in dusk one day, is that still planned?
ancient depot
Yes, as part of the next update
late lion
will it include duskworld?
ancient depot
Depends on what you mean by that. Duskworld itself is not receiving updates and the merge won't be part of the next update, it'll be some update down the line
Post-merge the plan is to enable scripting for multiplayer though, if that's what you're asking about
late lion
is there an estimate on the timeframe when the next update is coming out?
ancient depot
Not at the moment, right now other projects are taking priority for the time being
i.e. the next Ultrakill update and so on
late lion
So would it be a good idea to start working on the assets for a total conversion mod?
ancient depot
You can technically prototype mods like that already to a limited extent, since there's sound, texture and model replacements (with limitations)
But I wouldn't plan some huge project around an SDK that you don't know the full capabilities of yet
late lion
Maybe but at the current state I think i'd just need to get like custom weapons and npcs for the project, everything else should be fine
ancient depot
Those will be part of the next update
late lion
will friendly npcs be possible?
ancient depot
Scripting involves making all of the in-game objects customizable
You could script them to attack other enemies instead of the player, sure
late lion
what about making them not be able to be killed by the player?
ancient depot
Easy enough, just ignore all damage that originates from the player
late lion
will there be any changes to map making?
ancient depot
A few, but mostly to align with how mapping for other BSP-based games works
So just weeding out some dusk-specific quirks and long-standing bugs
For the most part it's business as usual
late lion
What about making characters be able to respawn after a certain time for important npcs?
ancient depot
That's all easy to do yeah, that would just be a timer that resets the entity if it's dead
late lion
What language will it be in so i can start practicing?
ancient depot
Scripting uses Lua
ancient depot
No intentional graphical limitations, you'd just be limited by your hardware and what Unity itself can support
For scripting there are some restrictions for security reasons, such as no access to files from code
late lion
time to remake black ops 7 skibidi toilet boss fight guys!!?!?!? /j

The SDK basically just loads the assets and hands them off to Unity

lilac abyss
Hello I'm coming across an issue with enemies flagged to spawn on higher difficulties, they don't spawn at all and I can't figure out why... some enemies flagged to not spawn on easy+normal do spawn and some don't, so I'm kinda confused
honest stag
So they have a flag to spawn on hard only? what difficulty are you trying it on
lilac abyss
Cero miedo/duskmare
honest stag
can yo utake a screenshot of the properties of the enemies that dont spawn properly
lilac abyss
honest stag
have you already tried just deleting + recreating the enemy
lilac abyss
Yes
honest stag
how about moving them around to different points of the map, like areas where enemies do spawn properly
and do they spawn fine if you remove all flags?
lilac abyss
This specific area already has enemies properly spawning but I can try
Haven't tried removing all flags yet wait
Nope it just doesn't spawn at all
honest stag
very strange, is the map sealed properly?
lilac abyss
I believe so
I was fixing holes in the map today anyway and then I also added a few enemies but they aren't spawning
Do you have time to check the .map file?
honest stag
yea send the map i'll give it a look

Hi y'all. I want to get back into mapmaking for dusk, but I haven't made any maps in over a year. I've thankfully saved a lot of my notes on how to set up the editor and whatnot, but I'm out of the loop when it comes to the new additions, so I've got some questions I'd like to aks:
-i saw that the FGD in on version 5 now (i was previously working with dusk4.fgd ) - how do I set up the new version?
-I played the 'quiet mound' endless level which had this very cool fog - is it possible to add fog to any level? If so I'd love to try that out
honest stag
yea fog is available in the sdk. the fgd hasnt been updated though iirc, same one as before
lemme find the instructions on fog setup
env_fog
Properties
startdist: The starting distance of linear fog, in map units.
enddist: The stopping distance of linear fog, in map units.
density: The density of exponential fog. Set this to zero to use linear fog.
rendercolor: The color of the fog.
fogStartDistance: Alias for startdist.
fogStopDistance: Alias for enddist.
iuser1: Alias for startdist. Causes the env_fog entity to mimic SvenCoop behavior.
iuser3: Alias for enddist. Causes the env_fog entity to mimic SvenCoop behavior.
Spawn Flags
1: When in SvenCoop mode, will cause fog to be disabled at map start.
Behavior
Triggering this entity will toggle fog on and off. Using different env_fog entities will not cause the fog settings to change when they are triggered. If you wish to have multiple fog configurations, place a single env_fog in your map (for toggling fog on and off) alongside several trigger_fog entities (for changing fog settings).
trigger_fog
Properties
startdist: The starting distance of linear fog, in map units.
enddist: The stopping distance of linear fog, in map units.
density: The density of exponential fog. Set this to zero to use linear fog.
rendercolor: The color of the fog.
Behavior
Triggering this entity will change the map's current fog settings to those defined by the trigger. Fog will not be enabled or disabled when triggering this entity, use an env_fog entity to control the active state of fog.

Is there a mod for dusk that makes my double barrel shotgun shoot ducks

You can access the SDK with the following Steam beta branch code: oohatinybarn
NOTES FOR THIS FIRST BUILD
• You can load Quake 1, Half-Life and Quake 3 BSP files (including BSP2, not to be confused with Quake 2)
• You cannot make maps for any game mode other than campaign mode at this time.
• Custom model replacements didn't make it into this build, they'll be coming soon! You can still replace textures and sounds.
• Loading texture WADs is not yet supported, so some maps may have missing textures.
• The console is not present in this build. Nor is any form of multiplayer.
• A new cheat has been added: NBCLIP, which will toggle noclip mode.
• There is no func_vehicle yet. I am sorry.
• Water will only work when func_water is used, we don't (yet) support implicit water through texture names.
• Transparent textures in Half-Life BSPs are not yet supported.
• Quake 3 BSP support is rather preliminary, so expect collision to be not quite right.
• Half-Life level transitions are not yet supported.
Workshop support will be coming in a future patch, stay tuned and enjoy!

HOW DO I LOAD MAPS?
Go into the DUSK game folder (SteamApps/common/Dusk) and find the SDK/mnt/local folder.
Inside this folder, create a new folder for your mod (for example: halflife_maps)
Then inside that folder, create a new folder called maps. Put all of your BSPs in here. Once you enable your mod in the modding menu, they will be accessible from Campaign -> Custom Level
Quake-format maps will require palette.lmp inside the mod folder (halflife_maps in the previous example)

@small gate already did
proven bramble
ah seems to be dling something now
small gate
if you did the pw, selected the branch and verified the game cache, you should now have the SDK folder
ancient depot
@small gate out of curiosity why would you need the .cs files currently?
small gate
because I want to see how far I can get before I give up trying to load doom maps
ancient depot
I'm not opposed to sharing individual ones if you need more context like comments and such, but for the most part I'd like to have it all cleaned up and ready for the public source release first
faint summit
hell yeah
still raptor
@craggy hearth I'll check some stuff in a bit but it sounds like a steam issue
small gate
100% out of curiosity only mind you

doom wads in dusk?
proven hull
oh damn, could you imagine the whole library of doom levels?
craggy hearth
I figured

would be amazing

Might've messed up the package config
proven bramble
absolutely amazing

AND SO IT BEGINS
small gate
please dont trust anything I say

xd
echo loom
honestly a part of me doesn't want to make new maps and just make a repainted mod
small gate
I am a major procrastinator
hard pollen
I think I scared off Dave with this.

@small gate there's already some unity projects that do it
So porting code wouldn't be too hard
small gate
but where is the fun in doing that
gritty forge
With my (lack of) knowledge in coding I think the best I could do is draw cute eyes on every enemy

Did anyone get it to prompt the beta download?
half vessel
yeah
half vessel
i have it installed but can't figure out how to launch the sdk itself
coral spear
ghhHUHHH I LIVE
small gate
if you're not willing to dive into decompiling and binary patching you wont be doing much coding rn anyways

HOW DO I MAKE MODS?
Create a folder in SDK/mnt/local and name it whatever you want your mod to show up as in the in-game menu. Inside that folder, textures/sounds/maps should be placed in corresponding folders named "textures," "sounds," and "maps." If you want sounds or textures to replace the default ones, name them the same thing as the corresponding sound/texture found in SDK/mnt/local/sounds or SDK/mnt/local/textures (the file extension needs to be the same as well). Make sure to activate the mod in the modding menu. See above for more information about loading custom maps.
small gate
you have plenty of time to learn yourself some basic coding

I guess Im going to have to learn how to do unity textures now.
coral spear
HI HELLO I WIPED MY SERVERS AGES AGO BUT I HEARD SMTH ABOUT A FUCKKINNNNNNNNNNNNN DEVKIT COMING OUT
last berry
I opted, restarted steam entirely, opted out and back in again, reinstalled the game while opted in and there's still no sdk folder
iron needle
@sullen plinth nope, you just need to replace texture files!
check the SDK folder
they're all there
also see pins and/or the readme in the SDK folder
small gate
I should prob. try loading stuff on python first to get a feel for the map format
ancient depot
or make an empty unity project and work from there
sullen plinth
kk.
ancient depot
so you can reuse it after
compact drift
how do I access the modding menu, please?
iron needle
@half vessel it should be an option when you launch Dusk from steam, or you can do it via a bat file in the SDK folder
echo loom
literally the first thing I'm doing is replacing all the movies with hotel mario cutscenes
carmine scarab
Can I fulfill my dream of bringing Goldeneye levels into Dusk?
iron needle
@compact drift it's on the main menu in the SDK version
@echo loom movies don't work quite yet
echo loom
dang
graceful hinge
Gave me a big fat 'cant find the executable' after DLing and the SDK folder not actually being there. Getting the prompt and all.
small gate
@ancient depot I am going to be 100% legit with you here, the only time I actually touched the Unity UI was to help a friend with a shader homework
graceful hinge
Fresh reinstall, see if it does it.
iron needle
@carmine scarab Sure! If you can get them into bsp format!
echo loom
still gonna do it so when they do work I know
ancient depot
@small gate you probably retained some sanity by avoiding it
carmine scarab
I love you David, thank you, I will now learn how to use a computer
echo loom
@half vessel use a quake editor
half vessel
other than making a map in wc lmao
small gate
thats a pretty good reason to do it now then, thanks for the tip
ancient depot
There were never going to be custom mapping tools, you use TrenchBroom to make maps
iron needle
@half vessel Trenchbroom is the official mapping software
half vessel
alright
proven hull
they suggest Trenchbroom for mapmaking
half vessel
i might just use worldcraft
small gate
sanity is overrated
ancient depot
that works
half vessel
because i'm more familiar with it
proven hull
How does worldcraft compare?
half vessel
i wonder if i could get the hl2 beta version of worldcraft doing it
it's basically just hammer
for source
but older
echo loom
goldsrc hammer
ancient depot
as long as what you compile down to is supported (HLBSP, Q1BSP, Q3BSP, BSP2) you can load it
proven hull
i shoulda been figuring these tools out long before today's news, hahaha
misty barn
Is there a test map
echo loom
quick question, why are the movies in webm format?
misty barn
I need a test map
small gate
@proven hull now's as good a time as any other
ancient depot
@echo loom because that's the only format we can reliably use in Unity
for external video
drowsy pier
so am I able to upload the asset files into unity?
iron needle
@misty barn what are y ou looking to test?
echo loom
oof
drowsy pier
then export?
gritty forge
when i try to load the half life maps it gets stuck on the start screen
ancient depot
@drowsy pier You don't use Unity at all
Refer to the readme or the pinned messages
proven hull
Well, sides the fact that it's not long to midnight, yeah. Should be fun to cut my teeth on some crappy home-baked maps
ancient depot
Currently we only support replacing textures and sounds, models will be in a patch
They didn't make it in for the first build
iron needle
@gritty forge which map are you trying to load?
echo loom
doom e1m1 but the only enemies are big john
small gate
...I actually need to create an "unity id", I'm already starting to regret this
proven hull
shh, be brave

I hear there are mods

I hope nobody mistakenly thinks you're talking about the SDK with that lmao

where tf is audio stored

@gritty forge where'd you get it from?

@elfin ore in the balls

@elfin ore check the sdk folder

Is there any other folder that could mess up replacing audio files? tried replacing one and-

where do i get this pallete.lmp thingy
small gate
search for that on the discord channel @proven bramble
someone posted it a while back
proven bramble
kk
ancient depot
yeah we would've included palette.lmp but it's bethesda property so...
proven bramble
hmm i don't see anything in search results
tight fractal
@gritty forge I saw that
ancient depot
look for a quake wiki link
gritty forge
I just didn't realize they had already written it in the description
tight fractal
I was literally about to screencap
And post it
Because I was the one who added into the channel desc
grizzled timber
I tried setting my account to opt in for Steam betas too cuz I read that might fix the issue, but it didn't
small gate
punch in the password, select the beta branch, and verify integrity
tight fractal
Literally did all of that
agile fjord
I don't see the SDK folder? Do I just have to create it or should I validate my files?
small gate
and no SDK folder?
tight fractal
Yep
small gate
what the hell
