Duke through the planets?

[GodBlitZor]

Awesome. Im working on a cool Industrial-Tech Temple on a backwater forest planet as Planet X.

[Fernito]

Man! I'm eager to see that! If you can, attach some shots

[supertanker]

Okay...just tell me when to add my contribution...I can do very spiffy military bases (see my recently released Aqua Base)

[oak man]

your link is broken.

[Fernito]

OK supertanker, I'll let you know

By the way, supertanker and oak man: how your levels are going?

Man! This is working!

[supertanker]

Mine is going good, all I have left is the command center and crew quarters. 340 sectors about

[oak man]

I might need some time. I still need to finish the ruins on mars, put more parts on my station, time doors,add more enemies and weapons.

super tanker I realy wanno try your aqua base level. Can you give mew a link?

[supertanker]

Sure

http://tiberius.levelzone.net/aquabase.zip

Only site that has it so far is Qshockwave (http://planetduke.com/qshockwave) I havent even uploaded to my site yet.

[oak man]

thanks! Its really good !

[kaotic_oz]

I wonder if there couldent be custom skys for these levels so when you look outside it looks like the planet your supposed to be at?

[supertanker]

Skyboxes would be fairly easy for custom levels, but you would have to have a different jfduke .def for each level!

Simple idea would be to get each box as a texture and put it in a large .art file

Almost all done with my part, now its add detail, monsters time.

[Boinky]

Just use import them into the Tile14-15 art files and then define skyboxes in a Planets.def for the tiles you've replaced.. Its simple.. when I played w/ my own skybox I used some crap texture and just allowed the highres graphics to take it over. Works fine as I never use classic or 8-bit mode, but thats really up to you.. I go w/ the idea that no one is going to be playing in 8-bit mode (why play JFDuke if your not going to be using highres)

8-bit! ... Blasphemy how dare you mention its Evilness!

[Fernito]

Yes... we really need different skyes for each planet... do anyone know how to do that? Do anyone could help?

[GodBlitZor]

Its easy to do.

[ZuljinRaynor]

I'll be playing 8-bit until the HRP is done 95%.

[Fernito]

Could you do that GodBlitZor? It would be really cool!

[GodBlitZor]

Yeah umm...find whatever skies you want and I can help you out, and show you how to do it.

PM me.

you should mention that if they want skyboxes there going to need ones like from quake 3 or halflife 1 (it needs 6 sides)

[GodBlitZor]

Yep

Up Down Left Right Back and Front

files will probably say *_up *_dn *_lft etc.

[Fernito]

Men!! I really don't know what are you talking about!
I only knew those simple DOS Duke3D version skyes!

[GodBlitZor]

Hmm just choose your skyboxes from here. I'll do my best to get'em in game.

1. Don't feel to bad a few years ago i dident know anything about skyboxes eather I was like: umm wtf do I do with it?

2. GodBlitZor, Good choice wadfather rules!

[Fernito]

Damn!! That's a really cool site! Skyes are pretty good!
I'll choose someones and then I'll tell you! Thanks!

[Boinky]

Those skyboxes are REALLY nice. Good site if yah ask me

[oak man]

Nothing that fits mucury...I gotto get tto work!

[Fernito]

Well... here are a list of how do each planet look like:

Mercury: its surface is gray, and must look like something HOT. I think it's mountainous.

Venus: it looks like a yellow or light orange desert, with a dense yellow mist.

Moon: well, it needs no explanation

Mars: a red desert with a lot of mountains and canyons.

Jupiter: Hmmm... they call it "Gas giant". Its color is orange or something.

Saturn: Yellow gaseous surface. And man! what will we do with the rings? Damn it!

Uranus: Its gaseous and the surface is light blue.

Neptune: Its surface is blue and must look very windy (has 700 m.p.h. winds )

Pluto: Its surface looks like the moon's one. The sun looks like a big star.

Planet X: I was looking at Wadfather and I found a pretty cool one. Look at page 5. The one that looks infernal (the fifth one)

[GodBlitZor]

There's more pages, just in case you didnt see.

[oak man]

you want the surface gray? I was doing it red. So it could look hell-ish and hot. There are pits of fire and lava. But I forgot how to do key card doors.

You can map right? I dont feel thatd you like my current Planet X (its barely nothing anyways). So I'd like you to start what you have envisioned, and the others and I can work off that. In fact, thatd be best for every map.

[DavoX]

I would help too but im not very good at making landscapes , someday i'll learn

this is where things get tricky for mapping. with all due respect, there is NO surface to either of these planets, as they are almost nothing but giant gas clouds, with a possible small solid core. this alone means that any civilization living "in" them will live on floating platforms, while the rest is an obsolutely massive drop that goes on for an incredibly long time.

in my opinion the levels should just be orbital bases around em instead. OR on one of there moons for jupiter Europa and for saturn titan as examples

Thatd be cool.
Think Star Wars "Cloud City" on the planet "Bespin".

well if it could be done that way then id prefer that actruly...

(why diden't i think of that curse you! lol )

[supertanker]

Almost done with DQN 1925 (moonbase)

I don't want anyone except fernito modifying my work...I know a lawyer...just kidding

Seriously, touch my map and die...

I aggry with SuperTanker too many people try to pass my maps as thay're own!

I need help with keycard doors

-I put sprite 130 next to a door thinking that the door would be locked 'till I inserted the key card. but the door opens anyway! help!!!!!!

I dont really remember the effects or lotags, i always go back to other maps to check that lol, but i think you must put a sector effector in the door and an activator, the activator must have the same lo-tag as the keycard panel sprite (you can set the sprite lotags with alt+t , or hitags with alt+h) i dont really remember but i think that if you change the palette of the keycard panel you can choose which kind of color card you want to use, i think it was pallete 0 , pallete 21 and pallete 22 or 23, not sure.... i hope i helped at least a little
