Inferno Invasion V7.1 [Canceled]

[TheRPGLPer]

I'm sorry guys, but this project is now canceled. If you still want to play it, I will keep the download up. If you want to run it, just load skulltag_data.pk3 and skulltag_actors.pk3 first if you are playing zandronum.

I've lost all of my source files for this game and I think I'm just going to scrap this and start a whole new project all together, so expect some more information soon.

Since this new project will be built entirely in Zandronum (part of my reason to cancel this one), there will be no compatibility patches and I hope to have this one structured in one nice PK3 file and not 7 messy WAD files. This project will also be MUCH LARGER than Inferno Invasion.

Hope you have a good day, and expect an update from me soon.

**Quick note to the Admins: You may close this thread down if you wish or trash it or whatever you wish to do, this particular thread will no longer be updated after today and this game is now 100% unsupported by me.**

**This game works fine in Zandronum, just make sure you load Skulltag_Actors.pk3 and Skulltag_Data.pk3**

**Edit the run.bat file as needed**

By default, skulltag installs to C:\Program Files (x86)\Skulltag\skulltag.exe so your BAT file should look like this: (replace the dir in the quotations to your skulltag dir)

This hasn't been commented on by anyone else, I am going to give this a try and give you some constructive feedback (And hopefully with good grammar and sentences that make sense, both have been lacking lately)

EDIT: Alright so on Glacier I have a few problems, when the round ends the forcefields close off you can become trapped (Or was this intentional to keep the players on their toes?), could you perhaps change that untill exactly when the round starts, also in the 2nd final room if you jump onto an enemy there is deep water over deep water which can be a problem knowing the player can actually jump to higher ground and be avoided by most enemies, I suggest using block player on those higher ground parts, I think you're going to need a new super shotgun though, it didn't look too well mixed with all the other sprites.

Overall most of it was great, I look forward to later releases.

Okay, thank you for your feedback!

Glacier, I'm going to have to double check now, because I could've sworn that after the forcefields close off, I set the sectors in the forcefields to SECTOR_SETDAMAGE(tag, 500, MOD_EXIT) and it would insta-kill all players who become trapped inside the forcefield, and you would spawn inside the fortress area.

Also, for the deep water over deep water glitch, I think that is a ZDOOM thing and I do not know how to fix it except for block players.

Thank you for your feedback and I will fix errors, and change the SSG.

INF02 - Glacier ACS File
/\ I did have the sectors to kill you, must've didn't work for some reason.

EDIT: Actually, upon further testing, I found out that if you have the godmode cheat enabled that the sector_setdamage scripts won't kill you. I've tweaked the scripts a little bit after finding that out.

[NachtIntellect]

Hmm It must've failed to load some of the scripts, thats the only thing I can think of, I had godmode off.

[TheRPGLPer]

I'm sure that Doom's ACS system can have it's usual screw-up with a script, but I'm going to double check every sector to make sure that I didn't miss a tag. I'm trying to make it where you won't get trapped behind a forcefield but I might just make it where the forcefields don't re-appear anyway.

Also, in Version 6.7, a new level and some bug fixes and map improvements will be added.
The new level, INF03 - Hell Elevator, will be an elevator decending several floors, all with waves of monsters.

[katZune]

well i didn't downloaded it bcuz i found it a bit huge, maybe tomorrow gonna download it but by the video look good

If someone wants to make a better HUD for this game, I wouldn't mind. I suck at making HUDs, as you can tell lol.

[NachtIntellect]

I just started on gimp but if I was any good at making HUDs i'd do that for you.

[TheRPGLPer]

UPDATE:
+INF03 - Hell Elevator

New map is coming out well, expect a V6.7 to V7.0 release soon, depending on how many updates and bug fixes I decide to release on the server side page.

[Captain Izayoi]

Anything with invasion instantly gets a + from me. I'll be watching this with baited breath for updates.

[TheRPGLPer]

V7.0 Updates
+Completely made the patch standalone. That InfernoBase file is no longer needed.
+Started INF03
+Added Monsters for said level
+Started for Zandronum Compatibility

I am working full on Zandronum Compatibility. As of now, if you load the game without the new weapons, it will work, but without the new weapons, it will break some areas in certain levels.

So I am going to make the map files use only the default weapons and monsters and remove everything skulltag related and to those people who want to play this on Zandronum, you can download a patch to load onto the game.
I've also completely removed the base file. All it did was take up space and the V7 Patch is standalone. I've cleaned up the DECORATE scripts as well.

[TheRPGLPer]

V7.1 CHANGELOG:
+FULL ZANDRONUM COMPATIBILITY
+Missing Item Bugs Fixed
+Missing Texture Bugs Fixed
+Adding support for Multiplayer
+Adding more weapons, classes, and monsters
+Redesigning INV03 (Demon Castle) to Demon Castle Redesign
+Constructing INF03 (Hell Elevator)

My internet connection is still slow, so the upload will hopefully be up tomorrow. Still a 80MB+ download to the music unfortunately, and there are more WAD files to deal with but I had to make the files that way to make it fully compatible with Zandronum.

[Monsoon]

is there any slim chance that a version of this could be released so that there could be compatibility with mods like hard doom?

[TheRPGLPer]

is there any slim chance that a version of this could be released so that there could be compatibility with mods like hard doom?

I can try. I can attempt at making patches to make it compatible with other things. Also, sorry the download isn't up yet, I'm working on that. We've had a windy and snowy past 2 days and my internet connection isn't working well.

[TheRPGLPer]

I'm sorry guys, but this project is canceled. Read the top post for information.

[Lord_of_D:]

if youre going to work on a invasion wad, maybe i can help ya. i dont have too much experience making maps and i dont know a shit about scripts, but i have wanted to start a invasion wad since some ago, and this may be a good chance for see if i can make a good wad.

[HexaDoken]

This is exactly why you keep 52 backups of your project in different folders, hard disk drives, computers, houses, cities, and even countries. So that even if half of the world goes kaboom you'll still have a backup in the other half of it.

No, seriously.

I could always use help with maps and the scripting for invasion maps is really easy. I can teach you how to do it. Seriously, all it takes is about 5 lines of code to do something after a wave.

E.X.

Code: Select all

#include "zcommon.acs"

script 1 OPEN
{
while((GetInvasionWave () != 3) || (GetInvasionState () !=IS_COUNTDOWN))
delay(5);
DO STUFF HERE
}

So example, on Wave 4, while its counting down, it will execute whatever you code on DO STUFF HERE.

Yeah... I'm planning on buying a 1TB External HDD soon, but either way, I can rebuild from the V7 source if I wanted to, but this is just too messy of a wad and I think I can do a lot better if I just build another game completely from Zandronum. Maybe I'll release a small update for this far later in the future, or maybe not. It'll take a lot of work to do what I want to do for this WAD, because I want to convert it to the PK3 format, but whenever I do sucessfully do that, my image files for my sprites (which I place in /sprites), they don't load right.
