The normal texture version

MUCH better!

The tree still stands out.

I agree. The tree shouldn't look lush and green. It should look like a tree during winter (nothing but branches).

I think this impossible with that kind of trees.I can only recolor them or change with 2D trees.

[Deathskull]

Why does Death Vile need a remake in the first place? I don't think it's concept lends itself to being OP and hard to balance, it's just the fact that it's main attack is too spammable. If it's first attack had a higher mana cost and the floor crawler was made to not suck it would be much less effortless to win with.

Here's some of my recent work: (Click the link at the bottom to see the rest of the screenshots, total of 8. Also, they are a bit huge so, warning :p)

Soooo why not just use the regular Doom trees then?

Lesse:
Still open as hell
Still FPS lags like a mofo
You changed the deathvile sprites as part of some way of justifying yourself
Still rather off-looking

Evaluation: Go look at some mapping guides and remake this entire map from scratch.

EDIT: Also, since nobody's commented on my ZanStuff review of this: http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3595

Well the boss have long ranged attacks now not that fire wave something so open area won't be a problem.I tried with bots and haven't found any problems only the random fps drops.

[Catastrophe]

Doomwolf, sorry but I'd rather not have you map for this wad until you stop using openGL effects on your maps. They NEED to be software friendly, as in when you're testing your maps you need to test it in software and -not- OpenGL.

Yes I have removed the opengl effects and fixed the lagg spikes today.

I have tested this on soft mode too and it worked perfectly.

[Catastrophe]

Small teaser... Stat saving finally works.

Fight to get your name on the official highscore!


...But don't lose your rank! If someone passes your score he will take your spot!


Stat saving will...
- Save stats across all servers
- Will save your name
- Wont get reset (unless problems pop up)

(Yes scoreboard looks ugly, will fix later.)

Awesome stuff. This might be revolutionary.

[Hypnotoad]

Interesting, how are you storing and retrieving the stats? Is it similar to how luk does it for jm?

Basically, your stats are saved on the client, but each stat is encrypted differently via ACS. You basically send to the server what stats you have and it'll update itself. So, your stats are pretty much universal.

Keep in mind this is an experiment to see if this will work or not. So, I've made sure to add fail safes, including but not limited to...
- Stat saving must be manually enabled by the server through a cvar. That way people just wanting to play for fun don't need to worry about their score and whatnot.
- Modifying your stats will reset EVERYTHING you've worked for.
- The source will be hidden.

In case something does go wrong the stats will record your name so I'll know who is doing what.

[Ænima]

Good idea, I thought of encryption too.

I still tend to agree with Torr's "the client can't be trusted with anything" view. But I suppose here it's not that important. :p

[Catastrophe]

Welp this is the best alternative (unfortunately) until an account system gets added.

Alright after that test yesterday... 4-1 is out!
