[WIP]Hellduke TC! will make your doom become alive

[oak man]

The architecture of your levels is very doom!

[XTHX2]

Yeah it indeed looks. I'm trying to make it look HELLISH, DOOMISH! as much as I can. Probably, there will be a miniboss battle at E1L3 (if my computer is fixed :PPPPP) and the arena will be very detailed that will make you shocked that you won't even be able to fight !

Something for someone :

[Another Duke Fan]

Thank you very much! I works great now and I do enjoy it.

[supergoofy]

XTHX2 what is this ADD2.zip ? A bug fix?

[XTHX2]

No not really. It was for M210 for his mod but w.e It can be called as a fix but anyway. New version is on the way guys with its brand new weapon super shotgun! Haha let's double the kills eh? But still, it has the super shotgun codes for those of you who want to check.

Other than that I'll do some visual enhancements such as imp fireballs, NEW KEYCARD SYSTEM! etc. Enjoy! (Probably in 2 or 3 days, the new update will be ready.)

However, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO NOT USE IT!!

Ok, a simple to-do list before the next update...

Imps shoot proper fireballs... DONE

Apply item spawning according to the extra of an enemy. (Only done for Imps for now.) DONE

A damn HUD!

-AND-

Finish the E1L3 with its everything.

Finish the Super Shotgun - DONE

[XTHX2]

Ok to inform you more about the progress, here I did this. I just want to ask you guys one thing. Do weapons look alright with this big hud or not?


Oh, and the weapon you see there is the super shotgun which took my 4 days (excluding the delay caused to me by my computer's crash)

Only finishing the E1L3 is left. After that, you can try this very well enhanced version of my TC from my signature. By the way, sorry for double posting but it seemed like this thread was kinda forgotten.

[Another Duke Fan]

It looks great to me. Just as Doom on Build, you know :-) IMHO, the classic hud shall be reduced or replaced with numbers and items on transparent background. Great job on the super shotgun!

[XTHX2]

Actually, you can decide the better way when you get the upgrade (if you want to). There's no bug as far as I know so I can freely release it when I finish E1L3, which looks like it's going to take another day of mine but it will worth it. There will be a mini-boss fight at E1L3 but I won't tell who's the secret enemy.

Also, I've finished item spawning from enemies. For example, like in DukePlus, you can spawn whatever you want depending on the monsters extra at Mapster. However I didn't take any single part of his code, as you can see when you get the update (if you want to) from the con files.

I'm also undecided on where to put the holy weapon, Super shotgun. I'm open for suggestions OR any help to this TC as it's too hard to work alone ):

I've also added the first testers' names to the readme. They will be pointed as the beta testers. (Including you, Another Duke Fan)

[Another Duke Fan]

Hey XTHX2, no problem, I will test it with pleasure for you and you don´t even have to put my name anywhere. I am writing my master thesis ATM and will occasionally take a break to play your "crap" TC, which I really like ;-)

[XTHX2]

The reason of why I've put "crap" is because I've wanted to be both modest and funny. I mean, like " THIS IS THE BEST TC EVER!" thing wouldn't be very nice and it would be "crap" for real. So this came to my mind. I also didn't think people would like my TC either so it was a bit preparation for the comments It's good to see people liked this, really.

[M210]

When there will be a following release And why figures of weapon's ammo have moved down?

[XTHX2]

I don't know why they are that way. I'll change them back to where they were though. You are credit in the readme file dont worry

[M210]

May I try to correct it?

Four days to what? Code it?

[M210]

What is are NEW KEYCARD SYSTEM? Tell for us

[XTHX2]

Four days to what? Code it?

No, at total. Setting offsets for it, coding, etc. I had many other things to mess with as well though so if we exclude them (they still have something to do with the damn shotgun) it makes 2.5 days.

What is are NEW KEYCARD SYSTEM? Tell for us

I'll pm you about it.

May I try to correct it?

Here, I'm using the exact image as it is in doom so maybe it's their size I'm not sure. Anyway, if you can do, I'll be happy. Failed attaching...

Also, I'd like to see why your code isn't working in MP...

Well, give me CON with you HUD

[Another Duke Fan]

Hey XTHX2, I played your HELLDUKE TC for an hour now and have to admit that it is cool TC all in all. I like your maps and the weapons, the ammo and the NPC placement. There are 3 maps in it, aren`t they? The last three, e.g. as of and including Avernus seem to be repeating. Avernus, is basically The Birth, but suffers from some serious graphics issues. I enjoyed it and will play more later. Thank you :-)

[XTHX2]

Only 2 episodes are playable. 3 episode is not finished. Others are just for testing the musics and such. They keep repeating, nothing special.

Avernus will be a special episode though. It will exist in nowhere (yeah nowhere, somewhere with no dimension) and the boss is named Avernus, Lord of Nowhere.

[M210]

Here it is done

[M210]

And make a new screenshot

[XTHX2]

I can't take screenshots right now because ImageShack is down at the moment. I'm guessing the problem was their size ?

EDIT : Nevermind.. here.

[Another Duke Fan]

Hey XTHX2, played a lot and really enjoyed it! Sorry for the mistake I made with mixing the number of episodes with the maps. It is huge and BTW, often quite difficult. Despite that I DNSTUFFed on a few occasions, even than I got killed real soon. I like it a lot. Just with the HELLHUD.CON fix from M210 it crashes with "Errors found in HELLGAME.CON".

[XTHX2]

Well, could you post me the erros please and also, it's not intended to use with the old version Still good that it makes you play over and over again though.

I should've told you that it's not a fix for the version at my signature. It was for the new version though. By the way, new version is on the way. Boss arena is done. You might want to check it now.


You'll be fighting 3 of them at once, one of them being the head of them. (Got some reasonable percentage of truth by saying "head")

Only a little more patience then you'll get your reward greatly ! The new version should be done by tomorrow afternoon, at my country's time :P

[Another Duke Fan]

Beautiful! Yes, I played with the version from your signature, so I caused it to crash myself then, nevermind. I will check the new version once it becomes available. Just take your time and do not hurry. Regarding the boss arena and "fighting 3 of them at once", do you really think that this is possible to achieve without any cheating?

[XTHX2]

If you are extremely pro it is possible. I've tested it 5 times and died 2 times... and it was because I didn't see the Rockets coming but yeah it is possible. Also, I've put 4 columns and 4 slopes and corners in order to let player easily strafe-circle the bosses. I also think that I should really reduce the meteors that come from Revenants and Sentinels (The black Metal Head). I may also make a monster manual if needed on how to beat typical monsters etc. Also informing you about their names, what they are capable of and their special moves(if there's any)

[Another Duke Fan]

Well, it was a similar level design in the level with the cyberdemon, however I could not manage to survive for longer than 10 seconds :-) I guess, I am getting older...

[XTHX2]

You mean E1L5? That stupid cyberdemon is removed dude! It wasn't possible to beat it anyway so you can call yourself "young and brave"

The new version will be fixing many bugs with the maps as well as new additions. So don't think you suck because you die often. I die sometimes as well

Before I forgot, there's also an invulnerability powerup and two soulspheres at the arena. Use them both wisely. Also a Battle Suit is right next to where boss is encountered.

[Another Duke Fan]

Yeah XTHX2, that was it, E1L5 exactly. I couldn’t shoot more than twice and I got busted. I am now relieved to know that this guy is gone and wish real life level design could have been also possible to modify like that... Thanks

[XTHX2]

and wish real life level design could have been also possible to modify like that...

Who doesn't... tell me who doesn't

And I just tested it and yeah, you can beat with exactly 60 rockets, 15 electro staff shots, 20 shotgun shells and 60 devastator ammo. (Well, I missed a lot though)

[Jinroh]

I dled the latest version last night SCHWA!! Nice and sweet stuff still. Your TC just keeps getting better and better.

I really like your level design it is like DooM Updated to BUILD very nicely done because I love DooM and your hit it spot on. Gratz!

[XTHX2]

The newest version will most likely be uploaded today, as E1L3 is almost done. Expect to see a link below Latest Fix/Update at my signature.

[Spiker]

Why don't you PM some mod to delete this "I present you my crap"? you no longer need it.

[XTHX2]

Good one. I was thinking about changing the title to "[WIP]HellDuke TC! Your doom will become alive!"

[Jinroh]
