Duke Nukem Army v2.0

[kenia]

Im currently working on the single player episode. Just to inform you that the TC isnt dead, Im still working on the promised singleplayer mode (and cooperative multiplayer).

Actually there are now 4 maps completely done. They may need some tweaking regarding the difficulty level.

[DeeperThought]

You keep producing these incredible looking scenes, but I wonder how the enemies are coming along.

[kenia]

I have not much experience in coding enemy AI

but I m trying my best

[Mr.Fibbles]

I guess that the "difficulty" level is related to the enemy AI.
Those scenes look pretty amazing. I am looking forward to playing this TC.

[kenia]

yeh, to enemy AI and how many and which enemy types appear relating to the difficulty level.

I am looking forward to playing this TC

you already can download and play the first level (its included in version 2.06)

[Mr.Fibbles]

I mean in its entirety

[kenia]

hey, I made a small movie showing ingame scenes. For those of you that dont want to download anything before
seeing it you can watch it at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKF5MCCsmGM

The tank was awesome; I wish we could have seen more of that snow map. Kick ass maps. Nitpicks: the music was a bit over-the-top and most of the time it was impossible to see the enemies you were shooting at.

[kenia]

yeh well, I used windows movie maker and I dont have much experience with that programm. But I want to make a better teaser (with a different programm) after I coded better enemy AI, more enemies, maps etc... And increased quality of the mod but at its current state its not worth to spend more time in making a movie. That movie took me 10 minutes, so I think its still ok for that small amount of time I spend :P

[Usurper]

Nice flick. Despite the lack of zoom (not your fault of course), the scope really appeared to be helpful for zeroing in on a target. What music did you use?

[kenia]

"Alan Silvestri - What We Need Is A Hero" - From Beowulf

[Dopefish7590]

Nice vid, My thoughts while watching were along the lines of, This looks excellent, the tank was excellent, and most of the stuff is really nice.

[kenia]

hey folks, version 3.0 is done (so the first single player episode)
including:

4 playable maps
6 different enemies (all of them using modified code, not rewritten from scratch, im too lazy)
2000 liters of blood

wish alot fun playing the mod and hope you enjoy it

This could be due to the latestsnap shot. Hopefully if DT has downloaded this he may have an idea of whats going on.

EDIT:
Been testing snapshots,
Anything above eduke32_snapshot_20070901 will not work with Duke Army.
So what ever was changed in eduke32_snapshot_20080125 and above keeps chrashing Duke Army when ever ALT fire is used.

[DeeperThought]

Certain errors that used to be non-fatal have become fatal in recent snapshots due to changes in the way memory is handled; it probably has something to do with that. He should include a snapshot that is known to work with his TC if he's not doing so already.

@Commander: Look at the log when you use alt-fire with a working snapshot, and see if there are any invalid sprite ID errors or any other errors. Unfortunately, I don't have time to play it now.

[TerminX]

If someone wants to send me the CONs I can figure out why it crashes... don't feel like waiting in a queue to download 100 megs of stuff to find a crash at the moment.

[The Commander]

Here are the CONS for you TX.

[TerminX]

Oh, that's just the same bug with the HoloDuke as was reported in one of the other threads.

[The Commander]

Is it a problem that Kenia has made with the Cons or is it something that is broken in the Eduke code?

[kenia]

hey terminx, after I caught you now in my thread I wanted to know if your going to change setaspect command in the future (or any possibility to create zoom effects)?

[kenia]

I believe thats a general problem with holoduke?

[DeeperThought]

I think you can avoid the crash by always setting RETURN to -1 in EVENT_HOLODUKEON.

[kenia]

Recently I uploaded an update: version 3.11

The accuracy of some weapons changed and I added cooperative gameplay suuport.

download: here

[Mikko Sandt]

I was playing this one yesterday and had some major difficulties with the boss. It's really difficult to tell whether your rockets are hitting the boss or not which makes it really frustrating. Obviously most of the shots were misses since I had to dnstuff several times to get enough rockets.

Edit: Is there any way to prevent you from bleeding to death? Also, if you're wounded (i.e., you have just lost a leg or something), the game seems pretty much over, right?

[Dopefish7590]

Cheater!

[Mikko Sandt]

There weren't enough ammo so...

[Dopefish7590]

I was kidding...

[kenia]

if you "just" lose a leg (or arm) yes, its over.

If you are only bleeding you can use bandages to stop you from bleeding (if you have some left)

[kenia]

Today I finally added handgrenades to the game, they were just missing too much

[kenia]

heres a small tech demo video for the upcoming version 4.0:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl1E9BtOe9U

enjoy!

edit: additional link (better quality)

[Usurper]

Very nice. Hope you'll change the rate of turning for the vehicles before the release for maximum immersion. The vehicle health is a nice touch.

[Mr.Fibbles]

Looks pretty sweet. I like the addition of planes and helicopters. Might want to adjust the way the plane works: tilt etc (if that is possible).

I am impressed; is that really the Build Engine??!!

[kenia]

yeh sure its build engine ^^

and for the tilt: I tried to make a tilt with the player structure "rotsrcn", but somehow its not working in the newest snapshot of eduke32 (think it will get fixed soon). But model rotation should work, I just have to implement it, which isnt that alot of work. The biggest part (physical behaviors) is done and the optical and acustic effects will get improved later

[kenia]

ah, and the airplane control will change later. The longer you press left or right, the more tilt and the faster you will change direction. But thats a thing I dont care about now, its ok like it is and Im glad that its working as intended

[Kenny mckormick]

Up

first post

Hi all,sorry for my english :s(fr),but Duke army is not on file planet now (dead link?) and i search it on some site,but i have don't find it(only the 1.0 version),someone can upload it please?

[Hudson]

Absolutely fantastic! It reminds me of what we were trying to accomplish with A.W.O.L. but never got around to finishing.

Amazing work man

[kenia]

Im sorry that I have to write this, but I decided to stop the work on dukearmy, but I will upload the latest version of it soon. So anyone of you will have access to my vehicle code and anything else if you want to use it in another mod. Everyone has permission to use textures, models, code from it in your own mods, if you give me credits in a readme file.

similar end like A.W.O.L.

[blizzart]

That´s sad. The TC looked very pomising.

[peanut butter jelly]

NO! why, I mean come on I thought this was a joke but now i'm puking out blood. It hurts.

But really, I puked.
