manager*

#

all others you would have to add yourself anyway cuz those properties are the targetnames of entities you want triggered

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

tb fgd

#

works for jack fgd

#

its built for quake and halflife

honest stag May 5, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

huh
i thought we added it
eh whatever

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

yeah it didnt really do anything

honest stag May 5, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

how exactly did you try to use it

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

honest stag May 5, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

are you trying to enable light or something?

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

yes

honest stag May 5, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

we dont have light styles yet

#

so that's not a thing

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

im going to parent them to a moving thing then

honest stag May 5, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

and we dont have sounds playable in maps either

#

aside from music

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:56 AM

#

i know how to do it then

#

im going to parent the lights to a moving door

#

easy

honest stag May 5, 2021, 4:58 AM

#

yea good luck with that

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:59 AM

#

also

#

why not add a parentname property to the fgd

honest stag May 5, 2021, 5:00 AM

#

because nobody ever used it at the time of making that fgd and we forgot it existed

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

im adding it myself then

honest stag May 5, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

we didnt add lightproxy for the same reason

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

thats a dumb reason

honest stag May 5, 2021, 5:03 AM

#

for 6-8 mothns both of those were mentioned once or twice and both in a context of "this doesnt work"

nimble arch May 5, 2021, 5:03 AM

#

I messaged here
Does that mean i'm a dusk mod?

honest stag May 5, 2021, 5:04 AM

#

lightproxy is barely useful at all for example

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

kay

#

i changed the fgd a bit

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

honest stag for 6-8 mothns both of those were mentioned once or twice and both in a context ...

it does work now

honest stag May 5, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

me and veven will rework it anyway

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

g o o d

#

hm yes

#

hmm

#

does Appearance work with lights

honest stag May 5, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

i dont think we have that

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

ctrl + c ctrl +v halflife.fgd

#

honest stag May 5, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

by "we dont have that" i mean it probably doesnt work in dusk

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:16 AM

#

how does my map look so far

honest stag May 5, 2021, 5:16 AM

#

it's nice, i like it

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:16 AM

#

okay so

#

what if

#

i added a grappler to a moving platform

#

so you have to like

#

time it correctly to get across

#

(or you can just strafe jump across it)

#

could be a neat little platforming section

honest stag May 5, 2021, 5:23 AM

#

there

#

i added not only the stuff you mentioned but also some skybox properties for dusk

#

and multi_manager

#

i dont think i forgot anything else

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:28 AM

#

nice

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 1:49 PM

#

Yea

#

Fr i have no clue how to make a good layout 4 my map

honest stag May 5, 2021, 1:50 PM

#

Draw it

#

Remember verticality

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 1:50 PM

#

Good idea

#

Sofar my layout is kinda shit

frigid cypress May 5, 2021, 1:50 PM

#

Me: Map design should be easy!
Me as soon as I start making the map: What do I do next? How do I transition areas?

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

Just dew it lmoa

honest stag May 5, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

Me: kill player

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

Play maps to see what other ppl did

frigid cypress May 5, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

I wanna recreate that one map I scrapped.

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

Hell study what dad szymansky did

honest stag May 5, 2021, 1:52 PM

#

Play quake maps

frigid cypress May 5, 2021, 1:52 PM

#

or look at real life places

honest stag May 5, 2021, 1:52 PM

#

They are a lot more high quality than our stuff

#

Like objectively

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 1:52 PM

#

Irl has shit level design bean

frigid cypress May 5, 2021, 1:52 PM

#

crimson patrol Irl has shit level design bean

maybe

#

but its good for inspiration

honest stag May 5, 2021, 1:54 PM

#

Especially stuff like arcane dimensions

#

I dont lile quake's gameplay but the fuckin custon maps are insane

#

And made with tb

high magnet May 5, 2021, 1:56 PM

#

personally I like to imagine the areas as real places first and then retrofit them into the gameplay I want from the level

honest stag May 5, 2021, 1:57 PM

#

That is also great

high magnet May 5, 2021, 1:57 PM

#

I think that makes for the most organic and varied level design

#

And kind of creates what I would call emergent level design

honest stag May 5, 2021, 1:58 PM

#

Duke nukem 3d level design school

high magnet May 5, 2021, 1:58 PM

#

Where the level design comes from the sum of all the elements you put into it as opposed to you trying to artificially fit all of those together

#

But what I wanted to say was that a huge part of creanting the place is reference pictures

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:00 PM

#

Am gonna use pictures of mirrors edge sewers as inspiration

high magnet May 5, 2021, 2:00 PM

#

And even stuff like areas from other games

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:00 PM

#

My map jam map' first area is almost a recreation of my apartment lol

#

Ez layout

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:01 PM

#

Yea

high magnet May 5, 2021, 2:01 PM

#

My map is actually my grandparents' countryside house

#

From the jam I mean

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:01 PM

#

my layout

#

is crap

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:01 PM

#

I'm gonna draw a few layouts and see how they fit

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:02 PM

#

Wow its a cycling nightmare house? Cool

high magnet May 5, 2021, 2:02 PM

#

Honestly Dusk's gameplay loop is good enough that as long as you don't get lost and you have guys to shoot at it's already fun

#

That's how I always looked at level design for doom/dusk

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:02 PM

#

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:02 PM

#

high magnet Honestly Dusk's gameplay loop is good enough that as long as you don't get lost ...

And uh color code your doors please

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

I see level design as "good" when it can be used as inspiration for other mappers

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

didnt you say quite a few messages ago that there is no texture for the blue/yellow/red blocks around doors

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

Therefore mirrors edge level design = sex

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

that doesnt mean you cant color code them using other textures?

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

mirrors edge?

#

ayo

#

my mirror has no edge

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:04 PM

#

Not the new one

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:04 PM

#

i'm pretty sure almost everyone uses the crystal textures to color code doors

#

i just bopped a custom wad

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:04 PM

#

I use unique setpieces instead of doors

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:04 PM

#

i use doors

#

and the clipping tools

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:04 PM

#

Say "hmm should this be red door?"

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:05 PM

#

JACK > TrenchBroom

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:05 PM

#

"Nah, it's gonna be a pipe that spontaneously blows up"

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:05 PM

#

hows your map going in general john

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:05 PM

#

It's alright

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:05 PM

#

percentage wise

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:05 PM

#

Idk, 10%?

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:05 PM

#

wtf

#

THAT was just 10% of it?

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:05 PM

#

I'm lazy

#

For now bathroom scientists is right after sewer river

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:06 PM

#

my map is just a long tunnel with a hallway

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:06 PM

#

It really doesn't flow well

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:06 PM

#

crimson patrol For now bathroom scientists is right after sewer river

oh that top-down screenshot?

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:06 PM

#

Yea

#

The entry is cool but it doesn't flow well

#

I'm gonna rework sewer river

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:07 PM

#

considering how bizarre most of the maps are and the fact those cultists can fabricate reality makes it acceptable

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:07 PM

#

crimson patrol I'm gonna rework sewer river

did you show off that area yet?

#

i dont remember

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:07 PM

#

Yea

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:07 PM

#

ah wait is it the one with a bunch of rubble

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:07 PM

#

It's after the rubble bit

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:07 PM

#

got it

#

man ur map is probably top-3 prettiest lookin ones i've seen in dusk

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:08 PM

#

hey

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:08 PM

#

up there with pirate ship

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:08 PM

#

bunker guy

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:08 PM

#

also enclave probably

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:08 PM

#

has anyone made a platforming section with object_grappler yet

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:08 PM

#

Sewer river

#

I swear to you once you see the layout of this area you are gonna puke

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

show layout

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

eh it can't be that bad

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

honest stag eh it can't be that bad

"it cant be that bad"

#

wait until you see my map

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

I also have a leftover room from ye olden pipe system days

#

I'm gonna use it someday

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

reuse it like a chad

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

I have it grouped and shit

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

hi is there a gore / gibbs mod for Dusk similar to what doom has with Brutal Doom or Ketchup mod or Quake with Quake 1.5?

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

nope

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

sadge

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

Not so far we can't script or anything

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

i advice you wait untill the sdk is a bit more complete for those kind of mods

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

Yea

#

If you want theres a mod that makes the welder model big chungus

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

ok thx 👍

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

which i may or may not be the author of

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:12 PM

#

nice

#

i prefer ugandan knuckles tho, is there a mod for that too?

#

XD

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:12 PM

#

might be lol

#

dusk.mod.io

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:13 PM

#

you can now parent entites to entities

#

and turrets to entites

#

pogger

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:13 PM

#

i remember when skade made a moving trigger hurt

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:13 PM

#

he did?

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

that will remain as the coolest fucken setpiece

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

i thought we spent like hours trying to do that

#

OH

#

yeah i remember now

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

didnt u play his map? he parented a trigger hurt to a door

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

i helped him with it

#

not too much but still

#

it was fun

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

i died to it the first time lol

#

i am planning some cool setpieces though

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

that map is super cool but a bit dark for my tastes

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

the layout is really good

#

anyway im gonna make a setpiece involving func pushable

#

its gonna be like pushing the cart in tf2

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

oh yea func pushable exists i forgot

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

except in any direction lol

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

it works kinda weird tho doesnt it

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

yea

#

ive only seen it in skade's map

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

what

#

how is it hard

#

to parent it to a door

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

some textured boxes u can move

#

wait i wonder

#

what happens if u parent a door to a func pushable

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

chad skade

#

try it

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

ok i have an idea to have the func pushable move in only 1 direction

#

rails lol

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

or parent it to another pushable

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:18 PM

#

no im not an entity voodoo black magician

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:18 PM

#

h

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:18 PM

#

besides parenting isnt perfect in dusk anyway

#

there is a reason why so many people refused to use it

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:18 PM

#

it is for anything that doesnt use the navmesh

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:18 PM

#

we need to experiment with entities more

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:18 PM

#

and

#

magic code man fixed parenting

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:18 PM

#

not eveyone will have that dll that he sent

#

you have to consider that

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

oh yeah

#

not my fault

#

im using it anyway

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:20 PM

#

don't complain when people play ur map and tell you that a certain feature is broken

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:20 PM

#

literally the sewer river layout

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

i have not checked my 219 notifications in steam from a year ago

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

its garbage

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

simple but beautiful

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

i doubt they will complain

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

no it is not

#

i have to complicate it

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

verticality, ez

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

yo

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

anyone who plays it is gonna complete my intricate sewer river in 5 seconds

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

just dont make it a doom eternal arena

#

and it's good

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

i like to have it be more open'

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

what

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

idk

#

what

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:24 PM

#

there need to be more entities

#

if you give someone top control over them

#

boom

#

top tier maps in progress

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:25 PM

#

all in good time

#

so far we can have jank workarounds

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:26 PM

#

hold on

#

i got a top tier room idea

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:26 PM

#

go on

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:26 PM

#

remember when i say top tier it usually means its a really bad idea

#

ok so what about

#

its an innocent looking room

#

some epic pickup in middle

#

then it gets blocked by something when you go near

#

and the walls reveal turrets

#

and you get shot to death

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

aqua did this like 2-3 times

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

when

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

how would i know

#

he's been here since the start of the sdk with me

#

and mapped for just as long

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

hammer best map editor

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

youll have a taste of that with my bathroom scientists

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

crimson patrol youll have a taste of that with my bathroom scientists

reminds me of the section in the thresher map

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

that was my inspiration lol

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

wait

#

how long is a ladder actually

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

u guys wanna see unused room

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

yea

#

show it off

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

different angle maybe

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

it isnt finishd

#

i reworked the pipe system before i finished unused room

#

this is still pt1 btw

high magnet May 5, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

Are those jizzm residues

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

no its garbage

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

okay so

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

thers a possibility its jizzm

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

i made the room and now im adding light fixtures

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

crimson patrol this is still pt1 btw

you may want to split the map up even more at this rate

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:43 PM

#

ok so then pt1 would just be the train ride

#

lol

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:43 PM

#

i thought you already settled on that

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:43 PM

#

i wanted to make the train ride area, add a few sewers that then lead into pt2

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

And how many parts total

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

2

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

ah

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

i guess having 3 would be a good idea

#

but my fear is that ending pt1 too early would break immersion

#

fuck it im making it 3 parts

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:45 PM

#

i think i have way too many light fixtures

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:45 PM

#

and putting the end right b4 entering sewers

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

wrong reply

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

crimson patrol fuck it im making it 3 parts

chad

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

unpog

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

watch me

#

this map is gonna have 10 enemies

#

a worthy sequel to the bunker

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

ur reaching bunker levels of memes my guy

#

fuck

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

pt1 is literally the rubble area

#

ill go work on that then work on sewers

alpine depot May 5, 2021, 2:47 PM

#

ten enemies with like 10000 health

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:47 PM

#

call the guy who put an invincible rat in his map

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:48 PM

#

lmao

#

what map is that

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:48 PM

#

cradius i think?

#

not sure

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:48 PM

#

how much health does the rat have

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:48 PM

#

it was one of those obscenely difficult maps

#

too much

#

way too much

#

like you just cant kill it

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:49 PM

#

i remember seeing a toilet at a sink in the bunker map

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:49 PM

#

i remember trying to kill baby intoxigator in vanilla duks

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:49 PM

#

then getting killed by a door

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:49 PM

#

i spent 10 minutes slashing at it

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:49 PM

#

with the sword?

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 2:49 PM

#

yea

#

i tried everything

#

ssg, pistols, riveter, a splash of MG fire, crossbow, etc

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

i play my maps on duskmare leonthink

honest stag May 5, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

As for the decorating skills; it comes with time and practice. Envision what kind of room it will be. A house? An office? A donut shack?
Then you fill it.

texturing makes my tiny brainstem hurt

what is the idea

A custom Dusk stage.... with all of the assets modeled to look like Sesame Street.

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:23 PM

Be even more asshole-ish. Make a hallway that has a trigger in it to where if the player walks through it; they warp to just before the trigger. Put them in an endless loop where the only way out is to walk backwards.

honest stag May 5, 2021, 3:24 PM

#

Objective - kill player

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 3:24 PM

That is doable

Gotta have the perfect wall texture though, to really sell the illusion.

#

i think i have seen this idea in ghostrunner

#

okay

#

so

#

i have added a crapton of props and it should look better now

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:31 PM

#

Do YOU think it looks better?

#

The only opinion that should really matter is your own; as you are the creator.

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 3:32 PM

#

well

#

not really

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:32 PM

Some advice I was given once: "If someone else tells you what to make/how to make it; then is it really your creation anymore?"

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 3:32 PM

Send a screenshot so Malice The Phylpsophical can give advice

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:33 PM

crimson patrol Thx 4 the setpiece idea

If you want another idea; I got one in mind but it's dependent on what the editor allows.

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 3:33 PM

#

Shoot

#

I need all the ideas

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:34 PM

#

So... ever heard of the Gamecube game Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem?

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 3:34 PM

#

Nop

#

What's it got

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:34 PM

#

Okay, then I'll be simple in explanation, lol.

#

The main feature is a thing called a Sanity Meter. This meter will rise or fall depending on certain player actions. If it falls too low, then the game starts to add effects on top of the normal game that are supposed to mess with the player psychologically.

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 3:36 PM

#

Oh so like bloodborne insight

#

Doable

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 3:37 PM

#

morale

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:37 PM

#

Examples being:

Walk into a room and the doors lock and the walls close in on you.
Your system displays a disc read error.
Your audio is muted.
Your input stops working.
The game covers your screen in roaches.

I can keep going. I think there was somewhere in the ballpark of 20+ effects.

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 3:38 PM

#

Some of those effects may not be possible yet, but anything involving map geometry or layout or setpieces etc is doable

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

If you can do it, have fun coming up with ways to mess with people.

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 3:41 PM

#

Idea

#

Secret area with a button that teleports the player to an upside down version of the map

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:42 PM

#

The teleport puts them at the start point again; but upside down?

#

Anything you didn't kill the first time gets a second chance. laugh

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 3:43 PM

#

No it's just the map copypasted and rotated 180 degrees

#

Then the player is teleported there

#

lol

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:44 PM

#

Still funny.

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:50 PM

#

crimson patrol Add some setpieces and u gold

This.

That open area you have there?
Maybe a table with a chair. Or maybe a button on the catwalk that opens a pit up.

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 3:50 PM

#

a strong one

#

and it has the key in the cage also

If that goes well with the flow of the design you are trying to achieve, then go for it lad.

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 3:52 PM

#

i have literally no clue where im going with the map design

#

but its a military base yes

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 3:53 PM

#

My motto when it comes to design is: It should be challenging but not overbearing. It should be fun but not feel repetitive. It should be easy to get around in; but have some secrets for those who want to explore. It should reward those who do things differently; not punish them for straying off the linear path.

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 3:53 PM

#

im going to make big john the boss

#

with turrets attached

#

fun

crimson patrol May 5, 2021, 3:54 PM

I'm gonna make a map that instead of having invisible wall bounds it's an invisible instakill trigger

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 4:11 PM

I believe so

and is zomb online

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 4:44 PM

The dev support can pin, yes.

he might be online

i think its ok to ping him because its not a bullshit reason

tranquil mulch May 5, 2021, 4:46 PM

(probably more useful for J.A.C.K users)
this is an (autohotkey) .ahk file that when F11 is pressed, it focuses JACK/TrenchBroom and saves/exports your .map file and then focuses the compiling gui and compiles, and maximizes dusk

#

So Kriml if the FGD didn't get the transparency to work, what did?

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

i removed it

#

also the fgd uses some models i dont even have and most of the names are misspelled in some form

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

I understand but can you answer my question please

#

what got the textures to work?

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

i deleted

#

the thing that became/was supposed to be transparent

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

The ladders are transparent in that screenshot though are they not

#

so what got that to work?

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

it was a func_door

#

the ladder was a uh

#

func_ladder

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

So making it a func_ladder got the texture to be transparent?

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

also the bars background was black

#

while the ladders was not

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

what was the ladders background

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

transparent, probably

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

is it blue

#

or also showing up as black?

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

h

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

H?

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

that color

#

OK

#

So that bar texture

#

was probably just a background texture

#

and not the transparent version of the bars

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 4:59 PM

#

i didnt see any other variant

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:01 PM

#

You're using the regular dusk wad from this discord right?

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:01 PM

#

dusk_transparent

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:02 PM

#

{BARS_N

#

#

thats what you were looking for.

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:03 PM

#

beegpog

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

hmm

#

perhaps i could add a big bar gate

#

deactivated with a button

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:46 PM

#

how do i make a cracked wall

#

like the ones in the secrets you have to blow up

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

So put a 1 unit thin brush with {CRACK as its texture

#

make that unit be a single unit away from the wall its on

#

(as to not fuck up compiling)

#

and then group both the breakable wall and the crack brush

#

as a func_breakable

#

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:49 PM

#

what about the "explosives only" part

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

Give it a large amount of health and get mad at Daves pasta coding that prevented Zombie from adding damage specifications to the SDK in its pre-rewrite state

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

how much

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

how much damage a rivet does

#

dunno what that is

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

500

#

probably

#

or 325

#

#

that didnt really work well

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:54 PM

#

You need to group both the wall

#

and the crack texture

#

and then

#

as a group

#

make it func breakable

#

not individual funk breakables grouped together

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:54 PM

#

it is breakable though

#

at once

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:55 PM

#

one moment

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:55 PM

#

but uh

#

the concrete part is just invisible

#

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

You should be able to click on one of the brushes, and have them both select as a func_breakable

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

i can

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

if you have them both as a func_breakable but just ctrl-G'd, it doesn't work

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

like

#

it works correctly

#

but the concrete part behind the crack texture is invisible somehow

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

it doesn't

#

since the crack is still there

#

oh

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

gritty forge

(not broken yet)

#

when broken

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

is there a single units difference

#

between the crack and the concrete

#

because if there's not, the compiler thinks the transparent crack brush, is a wall

#

which makes the vis automatically cutout whatever is DIRECTLY behind it

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

now yes

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

which would be the concrete

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

alrright

#

group em together

#

func_breakable

#

compile

#

see if it works now

#

ta-da?

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

yeah

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 6:13 PM

#

ta-daaaaah

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

wanna try my (unfinished) map and tell me what i should improve on it

bold orbit May 5, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

I can tomorrow

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

also

#

i made an autohotkey script that allows you to just uh

#

just check pins

#

#

alpine depot May 5, 2021, 7:00 PM

#

looking cool so far

gritty forge May 5, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

bold orbit make that unit be a single unit away from the wall its on

whitehell

#

use func_detail_fence so you can avoid that workaround

honest stag May 5, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

Hold on so that autohotkey script is just the compile function that you can set in tb?

#

Theres like a separate menu for it

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 1:55 AM

lol

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:08 AM

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:10 AM

skyscraper roof fight in an alternate dimension included

#

also no dusk textures

because i'm sick of looking at them

basically
shit i'll reuse from old maps that didnt see the light of day

The various statues
tank model
bike model
numerous interiors

#

i hope i can actually finish a map this time around

may i suggest the otex texture wads

and i found pretty enough massive texture wads already

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:29 AM

#

honest stag Hold on so that autohotkey script is just the compile function that you can set ...

maliciousultra

#

i have literally no clue what you mean because i dont use TrenchBroom

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:30 AM

#

you can set trenchbroom to use all the needed compiling tools through a single click

#

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:31 AM

#

well

#

anyways

#

jack doesnt have that but jack > trenchbroom still

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:32 AM

#

and it can launch dusk after that too

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:33 AM

#

jack > trenchbroom fatrat

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:41 AM

#

gritty forge jack > trenchbroom <:fatrat:725813068562432050>

why

#

it is hammer

#

but quake

#

and it controls better than trenchbroom

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:42 AM

#

"better"

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:43 AM

#

you have never used JACK

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:43 AM

#

i tried to

#

but it was wildly unitntuitive for me

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:43 AM

#

bruh

#

wow it looks like a nightmare

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:43 AM

#

^

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:43 AM

#

yroue mom

#

hammer but quake is not a good claim

#

hammer > trenchbroom

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:44 AM

#

even blender had more comfortable controls and that's saying something lol

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:44 AM

#

nah

#

hammer > trenchbroom

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:44 AM

#

we get it billy

#

you like hammer

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:45 AM

#

it is more intuitive than trenchbroom

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:45 AM

#

which is obviously subjective

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:45 AM

#

i know

#

but its still better

#

how is hammer easier to use then trenchbroom

#

well

#

most of the time you use the 2D view

#

which is just finer control

#

a little more finer control for something that looks like a mess

#

you mean my map or the editor

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:47 AM

#

do it q

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:47 AM

#

yes

honest stag May 6, 2021, 3:47 AM

#

destroy him

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 3:47 AM

#

yes

#

to a choice

#

that doesnt have yes or no

#

both

#

i disagree

#

JACK > TrenchBroom

#

the only reason to use jack is if you're more accustomed to hammer/torture

#

hammer != torture

#

it sure as hell isnt user friendly

#

pages upon pages upon pages of guides to help someone with hammer because you need it

#

i dont see any dictionaries on how to use something as simple as trenchbroom duskthink think

#

trenchbroom is stoopid

#

and why would you downgrade it to QUAKE

#

and i didnt need any guides for hammer

#

i wholeheartedly doubt that

#

it took me like

#

10 minutes to make stairs with trenchbroom

#

(i didnt even finish the stairs)

#

by stairs i mean a slope going upwards

#

ok now i know ur just fucking with me

#

feelscringe

#

trenchbroom is just stupid

#

JACK > trenchbroom

#

(just playing, too lazy / busy to start learining modding rn XD)

#

but i really respect it

honest stag May 6, 2021, 7:04 AM

#

never played quake 1.5
is it the one with cool weapon models with hands

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 7:05 AM

#

it has new weapon models, idk about the hands

#

i wanna play it because it has good gore and from what i've seen it looks like a good way to start experiencing quake in the modern days

#

yes now that i've looked it up, the models have hands

honest stag May 6, 2021, 7:07 AM

#

that one looks cool
does it change gameplay much?

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 7:07 AM

#

i think there are like 1 or 2 new areas, but it doesn't take away anything

#

watch some vids about it i'd say

honest stag May 6, 2021, 7:08 AM

#

ye sounds good
kinda forgot it existed but i guess it's a good time to play it

gritty forge May 6, 2021, 7:08 AM

#

damn you can throw grenades

#

i think there's a new enemy type too, but i might be wrong

#

I've recently watched a vid about how to mod quake for beginners, and some of the mods look fascinating

honest stag May 6, 2021, 7:10 AM

#

trying to replace models in quake was the most painful modding experience of my life

i'd use the iqm but no way am i porting that back into blender

#

honest stag <@!124710273368981505> do you happen to have the guardian model with animations ...

If the .blend doesn't have any animations, then the model was never animated in Blender and the only way for you to get the animations is to rip them from the IQM

not only do different games have completely different fog, but its hard to even match a single one precisely

honest stag May 7, 2021, 12:59 PM

Oh about that

#

Have you guys considered making different fog ents for each game

#

Instead if a single one

still raptor May 7, 2021, 1:00 PM

youre right in that we should just add dusk specific fog support

it just adds so much

Lmao

#

Fog truly is magical

#

Even helps performance if used right

still raptor May 7, 2021, 1:02 PM

well, its not the fog itself that improves the performance, but the fact that you can unload things not visible in the fog

#

but yes, youre right
