Sounds like a plan; you fix the polys, I fix textures.

Should I send you what I've done with the system 7 models? Most of the polys are fixed, except for a few rogues. Haven't gotten to Boarshead yet.

Chaos Death Saurer

At the rate you're going, you could have the whole game done by the end of next week. I still need to fiddle with the system 7 models.

Yeah, I'll do the reactors.

Chaos Death Saurer

I've been doing the task manager thing since I realized it was pmv's fault.

And yes, I generally move bits I need to work on away from the main model before I work.

And the reactors for each system still need to be done.

Chaos Death Saurer

Deidel, if you ever get the Polytron source code, remove pmv. I'm on the border of classifying that as malware. Just because I closed Polytron doesn't mean pmv closed. And if I have one instance of that running and I don't know it, I can't run games.

Back to work.

Chaos Death Saurer

I don't want to get those guys angry. Ever.

Chaos Death Saurer

Was \"clip shadows\" the big performance killer you were talking about? Because I turned that on after downloading the new version, and the levels look much better. It does kill my performance a bit, although that may be working in tandem with the cranked up smoke effects. It's so good loo...

Chaos Death Saurer

I've already taken a bit of footage from DXX, and I planned on having it fade to LOR. I was also going to use levels like Alhambra, Speed!, and Warp Shockwave to show off the other features. I'll try out your suggestions, too.

Chaos Death Saurer

1. Apparently I'm not done with any of the models. The Green Spider's legs keep casting wonky shadows, so I may have to make them immobile to keep them closed (the individual submodels are closed. I think I have to move them.) 2. I was trying to get some footage of Lunar Outpost Reloaded for the vid...

On the downloads page, I click the link for the Windows download, but I get a page that seems to link to 1.9.4. The available links there are 1.9.7 and 1.9.3.

Any level that has robots in it has a .hxm file with it. DLE usually creates an hxm for any level with robots in it. I can create a test level, put a few robots in it, and there would be no hxm with it.

Chaos Death Saurer

I'm *mostly* done with the Green Spider, I just need to fiddle with the claws. The Green Spawn thing is done, though. If D2X and DLE would cooperate, I'd get to see how they look.

Chaos Death Saurer

DLE isn't saving .hxm files with levels. And I have robots in those levels.

DLE is 1.5.52, OS is Windows XP.

Chaos Death Saurer

I knew submodels made it move, but that's about it.

And yes, I got the Vertigo bots. Thanks.

Chaos Death Saurer

Ah. So that's what they're for.

Chaos Death Saurer

I'll get started on level 24 when I get home, then. And I learned very quickly working on the D1 L7 boss to compress everything into one model. Makes life easier. And personally, unless the submodel is supposed to move, I'll leave them like that. Unless I'm not supposed to (I've noticed no differenc...

Chaos Death Saurer

Deidel:

Let's deal with the D2 bots first, then go for D1. someone else will have to do the Vertigo bots, as I don't have Vertigo.

We could do every other system for D2. You take systems 1, 3, 5, and I'll do 2, 4, and 6. Then we can get to D1. We can divide those robots up, 10 for each of us.

Chaos Death Saurer

I'm working on the D1 L7 boss right now. I'll finish him off, then begin on the last D2 level. We can meet in the middle.

I assume the D1 bots will get the same treatment?

Chaos Death Saurer

I would think that.

Chaos Death Saurer

You were right, Deidel: the models are a mess. I'll get cracking on the bosses this weekend.

Chaos Death Saurer

Can you keep a log of what models have and haven't been done? That way we don't get duplicate models and we can see how far along we are.

Chaos Death Saurer

Nice.

Chaos Death Saurer

Since D2X-XL looks pretty stable to me, Deidel can put in new features and other cool stuff, and High Octane (or whoever is doing the testing besides us) can make sure the features work before going into new releases.

Chaos Death Saurer

there's the problem. Despite how awesome First Strike: Revived was with 1000+ cubes that Diedel made, sure it looked awesome with all those cubes and Descent 3 type architecture, but it ran like a biatch. I have a 2 ghz comp, with 1 gig ram and a 512 meg nvidia 6800 graphics card. I can run Oblivio...

Chaos Death Saurer

You could spin yourself. That's about it.

Chaos Death Saurer

Well, as long as we're critiquing, I'd like to say I do think that both Lost Levels and Bahagad had great architecture. Although there were a few parts in LL where the solution to a puzzle was a little too well hidden. Other than that, and a few other gripes (LL story seemed a bit weak), they were v...

Chaos Death Saurer

I got best described as a Centrist.

Chaos Death Saurer

Fascinating. I never noticed any difference between palettes.

Yet another thing to fiddle with.

EDIT: And palettes seem to work fine for me.

Chaos Death Saurer

Another problem: If I set one light of a certain type to be, say, purple, all lights of that type in that level will be purple.

Chaos Death Saurer

render2texture was set to 1 when I went into d2x.ini. I changed it to 0, and the monitor was worse. And d2x.ini I never usually touch, all the values are default.

DLE is 1.5.51, D2X is 1.8.32.

Only special eefect I'm using is the smoke.

Chaos Death Saurer

I love how it lags when there are explosions onscreen.

Anyway, I might grab it if it's cheap.

Chaos Death Saurer

\"So the odds of being tortured for information instead of being questioned by standard FBI methods has gone up substantially for foriegn terrorists\"

So we're allowed to torture our enemies?

Chaos Death Saurer

Not a clue whether this is DLE or D2X, or if it's even a bug.

My camera monitor is explodey. Observe:

I'm hoping someone can tell me what's wrong.

Chaos Death Saurer

A portable IMAX? A nifty idea, if goddamn ugly.

Chaos Death Saurer · 1.8.17/8

1.8.17/8

Chaos Death Saurer

Awesome! The smoke actually looks like smoke.

Chaos Death Saurer · Updated to 1.5.51, seems to work fine now.

Updated to 1.5.51, seems to work fine now.

Chaos Death Saurer

Thanks, Diedel. I'd give you a mess of thumbs-ups, but that emoticon isn't avaliable.

Chaos Death Saurer

It doesn't say anything about a light overflow.

Although now it won't apply lighting settings.

Chaos Death Saurer

Is there a limit on how many colored lights can be in a level? DLE 1.5.50 won't create any more colored lights in my level after a point.

If kids aren't being corrected in schools, then my kids are getting homeschooled. If they don't learn properly in school just to make sure they have high self-esteem, then they are going to become suicidal when they reach the real world.
