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

[XTHX2]

There are 2 episodes done though, just levels aren't detailed well. It shouldn't be a problem to test things out, we can call this a beta as well. I'm also open for people who want to help me to test things out etc. If I were to wait to complete the whole mod, I'm going to wait like 2 more years...

I also want to thank people who have tried my mod. Thanks

New Version!!!

http://rapidshare.com/files/128900675/HelldukeTC.zip.html

What has been changed?
*Player fires rockets now instead of meteors and monsters fire meteors now.
*Uzi is replaced with Pistol.
*E1L2 is fully detailed and balanced. Now there's an invulnerability powerup where SpiderMastermind spawns.
*Revenants don't shoot Electro Projectile anymore.
*Many Bugfixes.

[Jinroh]

All right a new version to finally get to play today. Cool Stuff XTHX2

[XTHX2]

Oh you can download now? Nice.

[Jinroh]

Yeah, I brought my Thumb-Drive to work so I can throw it on and take it home.

[XTHX2]

Sorry sorry sorry, can you just use this HELLVARS.CON instead of the one in the rar please? It's because of the damn pistol. It should work much better now :P Stupid pistol took my 2 days to make it look good and work properly.

[Jinroh]

You're very prompt on bug-fixes I like a real go getter. Perhaps you should join the startup some people and I are planning for about 2-4 years from now.

[XTHX2]

Well actually it wasn't a bug fix. I was trying to do the last touches to it and then I noticed that I forgot to set the normal value of it back! lol

[Jinroh]

Ah, I see, sorry for assuming it was a bug. But still the offer still stands.

[XTHX2]

Yeah it stands ^.^ Can you explain it a little more please? I didn't get what you actually want me to join.

[Jinroh]

Not the military, lol.

A startup software company that is 2 years away from conception. An idea we're just throwing around right now, but 5 programmers need something to do rather than coding firmware and such.

But 2 years is a reasonable amount of time so we'll see if the others still want to quit our jobs and or not get one as some will be graduating College.

How about this, I'll PM you in 2 years

[XTHX2]

Ok lol. I'll wait for 2 years to get a pm for you Good that it's not 20 years ...

[Jinroh]

At least I'm not sending you a PM:

[XTHX2]

Instead you sent me a broken picture ? o.O

[Jinroh]

Oh I see, you're using firefox.

[XTHX2]

No, I'm not. I just see that red cross in a white box. Perhaps you copied the link and accidently typed something?

Oh, by the way a bug fix. This fixes the Chaingun dudes being too strong because they use the pistol weapon strength variable as well so... Now they use a different projectile.

NOTE: You guys don't have to download the other fixes as they are the ones of previous versions.. Newer versions don't have them.

[Jinroh]

Neat now I won't die so easily when I get home. You're quite the industrious fellow. Are you on Summer Break or something because wow, you're working like a Maniac! Good Job Though! I am at work and I am working like somebody who is bored out of their skull and is sick of having a job maintaining code and wants to actually write something for a change. :roflecopter:

[XTHX2]

If you want roflcopter, go check Spikers album

I was testing and I just noticed that I've been cheating too much, then I noticed that chaingun dudes were hitting me too bad! lol

You're bored... go play my mod to have fun lol DDD

[XTHX2]

:evillaugh: hell yes! LOL

I got something to ask about the forum. Why can't I edit my first post? I just can't see an edit button...

[Jinroh]

That's fine, I may be getting a much better job soon anyway. Don Kanoji Laugh:


Bwahahahahaha!

So any upcoming super secret features and stuff you can tell us about?

Something creepy happened today, MY PHONE RANG!

[XTHX2]

I got something to ask about the forum. Why can't I edit my first post? I just can't see an edit button...

ZOMG WHAT A BIG FEATURE. Can you answer why it happens? I need to edit it to make people notice new fixes. Another fix-like-but-more-like-a-snapshot! is on the way which will introduce another effector the QUOTER! It will display a sentence which tells more about story as you progress with a sound or tells you where opens etc. I got many cool stuffs to present with the new update just stay cool!

MY PHONE RANG!

Wow even seeing that sentence made me piss under my pants..

You guys can have eachother's MSN adress now

[XTHX2]

You guys can have eachother's MSN adress now

Heh...

I've started to detail E1L3 now and everything is going fine. I only hope more people will try my mod and comment about it

[eddym4814]

I'll post the new version today and it will be a little more balanced for players as I'll increase the power of chaingun and electro staff a little, and also I'll make rocket launcher shoot real rockets and other monsters shoot that meteor thing. It will be more like a game detail upgrade. E1L2 has 4 soulspheres, one being only to show player and make him get mad and other three at everywhere. I suggest you to start from VERY LEFT at the canyon as it leads you to a path where every monster comes one by one. If you just jump in at the middle of it, sorry but it's death. There are also many traps around there and I'm sure you'll like the new version of it more as it has a mountain-like thing which makes it possible for player to hide.

Thanks for the quick response. I came in from the right last time and got shot to hell. Also I linked to the first version you posted at rapidshare on my Duke site yesterday for more people to try it out. With the quick changes your making I am going to link to this forum topic instead.

[XTHX2]

Thank you very much eddym4814, but please make people notice that it is not finished yet. You can also link the newest version which is at the top of this page with it's quick fix right under it named FIX2.zip Though you can also add my TC to the TC Demo's page as it could be counted in as a demo as well.

I'll give you some screenshots of some new monsters which will make their way to my TC. But before that, I'll post a small update. JUST READ THE HELL UPDATE PLEASE!!! There are instructions on what you need to do. Also please add the attachment that is below in the pack please. (The directory you play my TC) I forgot to add it in the damn zip. The main purpose of this update is bug fixes and some minor changes. I've changed the E1's boss, it's more of a challenge now. Also fixed a few bugs that M210 told me. Thanks to him.

I don't know why is that happening. Let me see, I'm doing stupid and worthless mistakes all the time! BAD LUCK GO AWAY! I'll post fix in a minute.

EDIT: Ok, I've found the problem. I forgot to add HELLDEFS.CON in that rar file. Wow I'm such an idiot man Now this should fix it so sorry... I'll add special credits for those of you who have tested this demo-like TC. I appreciate all of your work! Thanks

[Another Duke Fan]

Thank you mate. Just do not worry. It is cool that you are trying anyway

[eddym4814]

Thank you very much eddym4814, but please make people notice that it is not finished yet.

I stated that this is in the beta stage right now. On my TC Demo's page I only listed single level demo's. Anything with more than I level I list on the nav. bar. What I will do with Hellduke TC is list it right on the TC nav. bar with Demo after it's name , take some screenshots, and write a temp. mini review, (also stating it's in the beta stage). When you make any major changes I will post about it in the news section. My site is a definite work in progress. I only started it 6 month ago and I'm still trying to make it better. Thanks for the reply.

[XTHX2]

Well, you have a good site, I have downloaded some TC's which I was looking for. It's very useful indeed. I'll post a new update in 2 or 3 days as I've stated above. It will have some major changes so be prepared to upload it One of them will be the newest weapon, Super Shotgun. The other being the changed E1L6 as I need to make it a little more bigger and that map has some bugs. Other than that, I'll also make good use of a storyline with the QUOTER actor.

I'll also be a member of your forum since it looks like a good one. I'll start reviewing a few of them ( EDIT: tomorrow ) as I got many things to do, I may not be able to review all of them.

[eddym4814]

I will check back here every day or so to see how you are doing. I make the rounds of the forums every so often to see whats going on and this is a nice reason to visit more often.

edit: Any reviews at all or ever just comments are very welcome.

[Radar1013]

I'm gonna try this mod today and see if it's good.

[XTHX2]

Here are some screenies of how new E1L3 will look like :

[Wellenreiter]

Hey, since you can't edit your first post, and Joe probably isn't gonna change that policy, why don't you put the files needed in your sig? ATM I'm totally not sure which files are current... Also, would you consider using something other than rapidshare? They've capped they download limit to 50-100KB/s for free users, which is painful... maybe use megaupload.

[XTHX2]

Well I'll use sendspace if everyone is fine with it as megaupload doesn't work for me. I liked the signature idea. I'll do so. Give me a couple minutes.

EDIT Check my signature for newest updates from now on. Thanks to Wellenreiter for the idea.

[eddym4814]

Thats a great idea. Makes it much easier to find the latest version. I think it would be a good idea also if you took your time with the updates. For bug fixes/patches upload them right away. For those of us still using dial-up 50MB takes a while though. This way we would have something to look forward to.

[XTHX2]

Updates are going to be seperate. It takes 20 MB at most if a full update is here. But it only requires you to have the TC installed so not a big deal I guess.

About my progress: I won't give an update without some big changes are made. For example the Super Shotgun and E1L3. Super Shotgun is going to be great and is working pretty well now just has some bugs to fix. I'll also make a new E1L6 before the update so it's going to take some time.

[Jinroh]

Played it an such and I gotta say...SWEETNESS!!! AMAZING Awesome freak stuff.

Great TC XTHX2!

[XTHX2]

Thank you Jinroh. I'm glad you've played it at last Since you liked it, I wonder what will you do when you see the super shotgun as a new weapon in the game...

Other than that, since my computer has crashed, I can't have any progress for now but it will be sent to me in a few hours so I may continue production ^_^

I'm also thinking on some more enhancements. I'll keep them as a secret for now, but when the time comes, I'll gladly share them with you guys.

[eddym4814]

Thats sounds good. 20MB files are no problem. I finally got to download the latest version you posted and had a couple of strange things happen. It may just be my system that caused them if no one else has it happen. First of all is Hellduke supposed to be run in 8 bit or 32 bit rendering? I had a problem with both. Using 32 bit the floor and ceiling of the starting transporter looking thing in level 1 is multi colored. When I used 8 bit rendering it looks OK. Next when I use 32 bit the imps look like a multi colored block with the outline of the imp inside. When I use 8 bit the imp is a black square. And lastly when I took the mess hall transporter it took me to a room with a chaingunner. After I killed him I opened the door to the left. It opened fine but I could not walk through it. Should I have been able to? I am using eduke32_snapshot_20080709 for the port, have the latest openAL file installed and am using a clean copy of Duke3d Atomic. I took some screenshots and put them on one of my inactive sites: http://thebestdoom2wads.20m.com/photoalbum.html

Edit: Now that I think about it if this TC is supposed to be run in 32 bit then most likely I have an opengl problem.
