Holy gibs, Batman!

If paired with some kewl SFX and a >bit< more blood then it will be a great addition to the atmosphere of the mod.

Re: Doom64: Unabsolved - now for Zandronum 3.0!!

#65

Post by Ænima » Thu Oct 06, 2016 12:56 am

Finally reached alpha 9! I only plan on doing one more alpha before hitting beta phase (at which point who knows, maybe there will be maps?).

Major changes include a special effects overhaul (explosions, gibs, sounds, shaders), Zandronum 3.0 features like bullets passing through teammates, a more responsive Healing Staff, and faster sidearm switching, on top of countless bugfixes and balances.

(pic unrelated)


DOWNLOAD IT AURGGHHHHH



(Here is a version that's compatible with Zan 2.0 if you wanna be a regressive pleb who's holding this port back. It has the 3.0 features commented out.)



Changes:
  • alpha9:
  • Added A_CheckReload to the FireStorm's firing sequence.
  • Increased the Aeniblood pool model's scale as well as the wall smears and droplets.
  • Fixed: The hellknight obituary had no punctuation.
  • The Javelin baron's melee now makes a shank sound instead of a punch.
  • Lowered the Rifle's weapon selection priority to lowest.
  • Brighter explosions and more visible shrapnel.
  • Finally added a muzzle flash for the Nailgun.
  • Better-looking and more optimized explosions.
  • Fixed floating gibbed bodies.
  • Fixed: Using the uzi with the railgun would spam the wall with BFG decals.
  • Halved the volume of the plasma gun's idle humming because it was annoying.
  • Nailgun nails and plasma now pass through allies.
  • Buffed the Flamethrower a tiiiiny bit.
  • Gibs fly farther and spawn their own blood decals now.
  • Fixed some glitchyness regarding switching sidearms. You can switch faster now too.
  • The alternate chaingunguy now does a chaintap and runs faster.
  • Made direct hits from the Healing Staff more effective. Also extended the range.
  • Fixed: Liquid patches used as midtextures would cut off at 64 Y units. (Thanks, Doomenator!)
  • Small improvements like sounds and weapon animations.
  • ZAN 3.0: Hitscans now pass through allies.
  • ZAN 3.0: Added pretty shaders to the nightmare monsters and various effects throughout the mod.

Sounds - this is a typical problem of many mods. Different formats, different frequencies, different volume level, etc. I've been made for myself patches for various mods (convert the sounds in the same format, correct the volume level, balance and compress). It's easier than to explain to someone a problem that he can't hear.

Thanks!

I like the rifle sound. And the plasma rifle.

Everything definitely sounds compressed, though. I'm not sure why that's necessary. Your uzi sound doesn't have as much bass and the shotgun's pumping sounds shriller. Some sounds like the chaingun have a noticeabley flanged effect near the end when they fade out which is really noticeable with headphones.

What, specifically, were some of the sounds that you thought were too loud, too quiet, or too high/low-pitched before?


I probably won't use any of this other than the rifle and plasma sounds, is that okay?

Strange things you write, if consider the fact that the sounds are the same as in your mod. I just changed the volume +\- 2-6 dB. A range of medium and high frequencies, bass was not considered. If you're interested what the sounds was quieter or louder, just compare the amplitude of the signal in the editor. Compression is not critical, since the quality was not high. Flanged effect most likely occurs where the same sound to both stereo channels. I have no this effect. Not going to try to find out the cause, just convert all the sounds to mono. But bear in mind that stereo and mono will sound with different volume levels. :happyface:

I know, but they sound different due to the sample rates being changed and then being compressed.
Doomenator wrote:Compression is not critical, since the quality was not high.
It was enough for me to notice a drop in quality and an overall "metallic" quality to the new sounds.
Doomenator wrote:Flanged effect most likely occurs where the same sound to both stereo channels. I have no this effect. Not going to try to find out the cause
It was probably there all along but the compression made it far more noticeable. I'm not sure why the compression is necessary if it decreases the quality of sounds without actually saving a significant amount of filesize.
Doomenator wrote:just convert all the sounds to mono. But bear in mind that stereo and mono will sound with different volume levels. :happyface:
I am aware of this. However, I will not convert all of the sounds to mono because there are many sounds that I intentionally mixed or recorded in stereo for depth.

Because it reduces the difference between low and high quality sounds. Size here is not important.

This is part of the problem about I wrote at the beginning. Sounds must be of the same quality and balanced for volume level.

So what happens when you make the explosion non-random? Does it work then in 3.0?

I understand that there is no Archvile monster in Doom64. If I made an archvile-looking monster out of mix of Doom64 and Doom2 sprites, would you like to use it?

Sure!


I think the Council Member and Abbreviator are already great replacements, but if you wanna make another (one that I'll code with purely Arch Vile-style attacks and behavior) then I'll gladly add that as well!

I have tried to make the Archvile but failed miserably ( Doom2 archvile dressed in N64 zombieman clothes was looking really weird ) so I made this instead:

Its virtually the same as the Bruiser Demon from Realm667 ( but I didnt make any projectile sprites so I used some from Heretic )
