WhoDunIt - Finally Released!
RE: Who Dun It - Nearing Final Final
Another weird bug I noticed. I pressed the change colour button a lot, and after like 4 presses in 3 seconds, it kicked me, saying that I flooded the server.

RE: Who Dun It - Nearing Final Final
Hello. After playing whodunit for a considerably long time, I am wondering if it is possible to make a map for the wad. Pls reply, as i am very keen to know if this is possible.

Yeah, changing colours too often kicks you anyway. It's not a bug :xKiller2 wrote: Another weird bug I noticed. I pressed the change colour button a lot, and after like 4 presses in 3 seconds, it kicked me, saying that I flooded the server.
RE: Who Dun It - Nearing Final Final
Flooding the server can cause lag for other players, so the server kicks you automatically for doing so to prevent that from happening.Synert wrote:Yeah, changing colours too often kicks you anyway.

Also, the colour changer is a great addition to the game. Well done Synert :P
RE: Who Dun It - Nearing Final Final
Found yet another bug! I was playing murd and I got the "X", but one of them was missing. Caused me to lose the game, which was quite infuriating.

RE: Who Dun It - Nearing Final Final
I'm still not sure what to do about players getting into the walls, that is, should they be allowed to or not. I'm open for discussion on this.Killer2 wrote: Ok, so I played a match of the new WhoDunIt and a bug happened. I am sure you said you wouldn't let people in murd's wall, but I went to bar, berthed everyone, then entered the new wall between bar and hallway. 2 people followed me and one chainsawed me to death. Is this intentional?
It'll be released when it's ready. "When it's ready" is when everyone is satisfied with the content going into it. So if you want a map of yours in, as long as it doesn't take months to finish, I'm down with waiting a bit for it.Capt.J3 wrote: So, When will the "Final Final" (>.>) will be released? I would like to know because I am making two more maps, and I would like to have at least my "The moving Train" level to be part of WhoDunIt.
Btw, I would like to to some fixing to the coding of my M1 Carbine. I will remove that annoying Jamming thing.
Also, IMO you should keep the jamming function. It balances that weapon perfectly. Because of the Random Damage the weapon can do, one shot can do upwards of 60 damage (!) to the murderer, making it the most powerful weapon in the game (since it has much more range and ammo than the shotgun, and a higher rate of fire). If anything, I can suggest reducing the chance of jamming, and possibly removing the 1 bullet loss when it jams (so unjamming it just wastes time but not ammo).
These look great! Thank you.Mooseknuckle wrote: Here ya go. ;)
I also whipped up a proper pickup sprite for the Beretta as well, since it still uses the unfitting default pistol pickup sprite:
EDIT: While still on the subject of sprites, I noticed that there was a fire axe weapon with some slightly sketchy graphics in the resource WAD that goes unused in the actual game, as far as I know. Do you have any plans to add it back in? I have a set of axe graphics that Mike12 made (I'm pretty sure it was him) and I could modify those accordingly if you'd like.
As for the Axe, that weapon is currently exclusive to Marsis. If you want, you can see if Zeberpal would like some replacements. I'm a bit lazy at the moment to look at the sprites you mention in the pk3. :V So I don't know if they are the same or not. Regardless, I won't be introducing this weapon into the core unless utterly demanded.
This is a userinfo change flood protection in SkullTag/Zandronum. But thanks for bringing this to my attention; I can add a delay into the script to prevent it being run multiple times really fast (thus preventing accidental kicks).Killer2 wrote:Another weird bug I noticed.

*sigh* I'm not gonna lie, I _REALLY_ think it's a bug with SkullTag. I've seriously done every single trick possible to get it to work right, and it does work most of the time but it just seems to forget a player randomly, which is completely whack. Hopefully Zandronum has it fixed and you should no longer experience this after this release and when played with Zandronum.Killer2 wrote:Found yet another bug!

Of course it's possible. Several people have made custom maps already. :VSicamore wrote:Hello. After playing whodunit for a considerably long time, I am wondering if it is possible to make a map for the wad. Pls reply, as i am very keen to know if this is possible.
@Zeberpal: Dat FAQ. Thanks a ton, now perhaps we can do some of these things in a game.
EDIT: Came up with an idea for the pool cue; how about extending it's reach? That should give it some more strengths as well as benefiting from the increased stun power.

RE: Who Dun It - Nearing Final Final
I finished editing the rifle! The differences are probably subtle, but I got rid of a few stay pixels near the right edge of the wooden stock toward the barrel, and also got rid of some of the excess pixels around the left wrist. It's all cleaned up now. ;)Theshooter7 wrote:These look great! Thank you.Mooseknuckle wrote: Here ya go. ;)

I'd do some editing of the pool cue and shovel as well, but I couldn't find them in the PK3. e_e If you give me the names, I'll get it done. :D

RE: Who Dun It - Nearing Final Final
Since the last release will take a while, I might as well say that I am creating random spawners for rocks, trees, and bottles.
Yes, I like that idea. Speaking of the pool cue, can you provide a sound for when it hits a wall/person? As for all melee puffs, you should put "$limit <sound> 2" (or 3) in SNDINFO for all puff sounds so that too many instances of the same sound don't play.Theshooter7 wrote:EDIT: Came up with an idea for the pool cue; how about extending it's reach?

RE: Who Dun It - Nearing Final Final
Before Zandronum (btw, why was Skulltag's name changed?) fixes it, I would like to suggest a possible fix. Make it so that 3 or more markers are added on top of each other. In this way, if a player doesn't get a marker, it might get another one of the two. I have no idea how coding works, so I don't know if this idea would be viable or not.Theshooter7 wrote:*sigh* I'm not gonna lie, I _REALLY_ think it's a bug with SkullTag.

On another note, I would like to adress some balance issues in two of the maps. Sure, they are some old maps, and nobody complained until now, but in my opinion they aren't balanced.
I will start with the Prison map. This map is very easy to win for the murderer:
-it only has one powerful weapon, which may or may not spawn;
-no chainsaw or crossbow;
-not enough wrenches;
-the murd gets the most help in a wall here, with 2 berths and lots of medis.
While the huge open spaces in this map do help the innocents, I get a feeling it's not enough, and if the gun doesn't spawn they may even be easily killed as a group. When I am murderer, this map is usually a piece of cake.
Suggestions: (note:I don't recommend adding all of them)
-make the gun always spawn (this way, the murd has to be at least somewhat more cautious);
-add a secondary weapon, like the chainsaw or crossbow;
-add more wrenches;
-give the murderer less provisions in the wall.
Now the next map, which is actually too in favor of innocents, is the Museum. It's very easy to win for the innocents:
-it has 4 powerful weapons, 3 of which don't require keys;
-it has two very open areas that can be camped easily, without much fear of bertholite;
-it's very dark, which can help the innocents hide very effectively (not necessarily an issue)
The main problem of this map is that it has too many weapons that are way too easy to reach. The murderer is already having enough problems to kill someone with a shotgun, here he has to kill 2 persons with a shotgun while he is being xbowed and chainsawed to death! The guns simply give the innocents too much power.
Suggestions:
-remove one of the guns;
-remove chainsaw or xbow;
-place secondary keys that open the gun places or the xbow, making them harder to get;
-make it so that if one gun spawns, the other doesn't (while keeping the possibility that none of them spawn);
-make the outer areas smaller, or darker, so they are harder to camp;
-give murderer more meds and 2 berths;
-remove some of the simple weapons (not really recommended).
This map has always been very annoying to me as murd. I think I never won when both guns have spawned, but managed to win (not easily though) when one was missing.
Anyways, these are my 2 cents on these maps. Hoping to hear some opinions soon.

RE: Who Dun It - Nearing Final Final
I need to stop quoting people. Starting now. :V
@Mooseknuckle: The shovel uses SHLR* and SHLR* for sprites, and the Pool Cue uses POCU* for it's frames (for pickup, it uses POOL and POOZ for the two different pickup sprites). The pool cue kind of looks like ass, though, but do what you can. :P
@Minigunner: Ah, yes. I puff sound would be great, wouldn't it? Keep forgetting about adding one and then wondering why the pool cue has no "oomph" to it's attack. And limiting the puff sounds would be best heh.
@Killer2: Thank you for your suggestions, these are really good. I will do a little rebalancing of those maps then. Kinda funny; WDI04 used to be impossible for the murd because there was little connectivity with murd holes for him to navigate, making it difficult to get anywhere or escape. Now that I fixed that, it's too unbalanced for the innocents. :V

Glad I could help. I will keep an eye out for more glitches or balance issues, I've yet to try the new maps properly.Theshooter7 wrote: @Killer2: Thank you for your suggestions, these are really good.

And yes it has been for a couple versions now at least.
RE: Who Dun It 2: The Son of Who Dun It
Dunno if its on purpose but some walls in the school map show the murder while he is looking outside, say he has door open and looking out he wouldn't appear on most doors but some walls the in the school dont hide him and innocents will see him.
Edit : Wall holes.

RE: Who Dun It 2: The Son of Who Dun It
I realize I exported those M1 images as BMP's, so I batch converted them into PNG's for you. c:
http://files.drdteam.org/index.php/file ... ne-png.zip
Also, I'm working on the pool cue and the shovel right now. It really won't take much to get the pool cue looking good. I think the main issue is the aliasing on the left side.
EDIT: Pool cue done. I also made some slightly scaled down pickup sprites to better match the other pickup sprites.
http://files.drdteam.org/index.php/file ... prites.zip
Just gotta do the shovel now.
EDIT 2: Shovel done!
http://files.drdteam.org/index.php/file ... shovel.zip
EDIT 3: So I had this angled crossbow sprite sitting in my resources folder... It was originally the crossbow from Redneck Rampage, and The_Funktasm edited it into a wooden stocked version with a normal bolt, but it had Blood hands. So, I decided to give rehanding it a go.
What do you think? New crossbow sprite for WDI?
It even comes with its own pickup sprite. ;)

@Mooseknuckle: Thanks a ton for the sprites! These look much better!
About the crossbow: I dunno if we should replace it; the current one has extra animations and such (Strife crossbow heh). Does that crossbow have suitable reloading animations and the like?

RE: Who Dun It 2: The Son of Who Dun It
It needs to be animated, but it shouldn't be too difficult to do. :o Either that, or the reload animation would be the gun lowering and then raising back up. Which actually makes sense with a full-sized crossbow. You put your foot in the loop at the end, load a bolt, and then pull the string back with both arms. Of course, the speed could be unrealistic for balance purposes.Theshooter7 wrote: @Mooseknuckle: Thanks a ton for the sprites! These look much better!

EDIT:
Updated with firing animations and extended arms, as well as a few tweaks with the perspective. They're a little repetitive (the arms) but they'll mostly be off-screen, I'd imagine, so it's not that big of a deal.
EDIT 2: Do you have a template for the melee weapon player sprites that I can edit the pickup sprites into (for player sprites)?
EDIT 3: I've edited this post at least 13 times... I keep noticing minor imperfections and going back and revising it. This should be the last time, though. All the details are pretty much perfected to the best of my ability.

RE: Who Dun It 2: The Son of Who Dun It
How is this for a changelog so far?
Spoiler: Changelog thus far (Open)@Mooseknuckle: I'll add the Crossbow then, but can you zip the sprites up for me? Also, the weapons you gave me (shovel, pool cue, and M1) have transparency and offset issues. Is it possible for you to get the cue. M1, and shovel their offsets again and remove the background from them? If you can't fix the transparency, at least make sure the Pool Cue has the same cyan color as the rest then (as I can remove it in SLADE like I did for the M1), but the offsets are big deal.
