Can someone help me???

[drvarek]

i'm working on duke nukem 3d sidescroller.
i need someone (who has some knowledge in jfduke source) to help me. i need someone to convert 3rd person camera (F7 key) to a side scrolling camera. i know that this isn't a big deal, but i don't know how to do it... i know that code for camera is in "game.c". i just need camera wich will look like in this screenshot:

also this screenshot is WIP of 1st level for duke nukem 3d sidescroller

[Dr. Kill]

someone already did this and was shut down. Although they made theirs before jfduke was out. You should ask George about legality.

[drvarek]

this will be a mod based on jfduke and hires pack

[Parkar]

I belive this is suposed to use the original duke art (requereing the original game) so I can't see any problems with it.

I don't see the point though since there is already a duke side scroller in 3d. I don't mind playing one more though http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Dr. Kill]

now all I have to do when it's done is replace Duke with Crash Bandicoot!!!

Hey, I just got an idea, I could also probably make parodies of contra and streets of rage. I always liked editing duke.

Can someone please explain to me what prompts one to think modifying the Duke source code is illegal? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

[Dr. Kill]

don't ask me, I just tell what I hear. It was taken down. There was a post about it on planetduke's forums, and they made the guy take it off. Ask them

It was probably someone using Duke art in another game, in which case you should really figure out just what the hell you're talking about before saying something. It is very unhelpful for someone to ask for assistance and have someone who hasn't a clue about the subject reply telling them that they can't do whatever it is they want to do.

If all you can say is "don't ask me" when someone questions what you'e posting, perhaps you shouldn't be posting it.

[Dr. Kill]

whatever, I just wanted to let him know. I dumb about things sometimes.

[drvarek]

hey TerminX, could you add some camera controls to your Eduke32?

You can already sort of do this.. first, force the third person camera on with

setplayer[THISACTOR].over_shoulder_on ONE in the APLAYER actor code (I will be using obvious variable names in this exercise, it is up to you to define them yourself).

You must also do something like

setvar TEMP 512 // use whatever number you like the best
setplayer[THISACTOR].look_ang TEMP

Then, in the EVENT_LOOKLEFT and EVENT_LOOKRIGHT events, do

setvar RETURN -1

The player's sprite will still appear translucent. To get around this, you'll probably need to create some kind of dummy player sprite.

one question?

where to get eduke32 cons? i tried cons from eduke 2.1.1 but they don't work... i think i'm really missing something important about eduke stuff

What are you looking for, specifically? I eventually expect to put together an example mod that I hope will answer some of the more redundant questions I get.

when i download your eduke32, i don't get any spacial cons. i know old eduke worked with special cons (eduke.con & others). is eduke32 using normal duke3d cons, so you just add enhancements to them?

As far as I know, yes.

[Dr. Kill]

I have the cons you need. They add quite a few gamevars and all that crap I know little about. Want em? I'll email them to you if you want. I have copies that are unedited. Let me know.

You can use the older material that came with EDuke 2.0 -- it'll work fine with EDuke32. I haven't had time to put together a sample mod yet.

[Dr. Kill]

is the stuff from EDuke 2.0 much different from the first release?

[drvarek]

i finally managed to use your code and play a duke nukem 3d sidescroller.

now i have another big problem: when i move forvard, duke moves forvard, but when i move backwards, duke moves backwards, but i need him to turn around and move forward (using my backwards key)

hmm... maybe my last line was confusing. i hope that you understand what i mean...

anyways, here's a another screenshot

[TerminX]

Hmm.. detect if the player is moving backwards and use the cstat that flips sprites horizontally or something.

[Dr. Kill]

cool!

I'd love to see the new gore pack I'm workin on in this!
http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif This sidescroller brings so many new possibilities.

but duke whould still be shooting to right side...

i need something like this:
if key = backwards {
rotate player for 180 degrees
assign backward key to forward
assign forward key to backward }

is this possible?

[Roger]

You could use <x>etplayer[myconnectindex].ang in the event for walking backward to change the player's looking angle... or use the key for the quick 180° turn?

Also, if you want to disable a key, you have it go "setvar RETURN -1" in its respective event.
