[GuntherDW]

is there a release date of any kind?
oh, did u mod the dll of doomsday?
if so, please make it compatible with linux then :p

[Xerxes]

This patch don't use any new jDoom.dll ;)
this pack have just some weapon and object of Quake2, anything special things
I was just make it for change less the style of Darken2 and make a good addon *thumbs*

I don't know if i can upload it in the net, because it's the work of ID Software :D

you could release your .ded, but uploading id's q2 models is highly illegal

[edorien]

uploading id's q2 models is highly illegal


Not approving this, however;
Compare to raven's hexen 2 models, used in jheretic / jhexen model-packs.
vial/potion/mana/armor/boots.....etc

vial/potion/mana/armor/boots.....etc

that is because raven gave permission to do so, otherwise it would be illegal as well

[Jaquboss]

You may post how-to and prepared deds like Hexagon....

[Xerxes]

Yes, Of course, but they are a lot of work for the new user :(
Hexagon was make just 1 weapon (2 model ; 2skin ; 1 sound) and for my pack, they are a lot of model, sound , and skin
They become too long for the user of the pack and i was remake some object for convert it

[Jaquboss]

hmm then you can´t use that I am very sorry . Ask ID software about it :-)

[Juan_Fraglef]

It may be legal if you put a disclaimer before the user downloads saying they MUST own Quake 2 in order to legally have this. Maybe go as far as putting in an installer that checks for Q2 on the user's Hard drive. *bliss*

[Jaquboss]

pak support to doomsday will solve everything , and it´s much easier than everything other , lol

Yes, I had some doubts has this topic; I would be going to make that as soon as I would have free time

pak support to doomsday will solve everything , and it´s much easier than everything other , lol
Yes and no because I have modify certain sound and model

[Xerxes]

It's done, I've make quickly a first version of jDarkenII :)
A more complete version comming soon ;)

[Juan_Fraglef]

Kickass. Good thing I do own a copy of Q2. :D

[Darmuss]

Very nice Xerxes! *thumbs*

but the arm/shoulder using the BFG seems a bit high, but well, i'm sure doomguy got loads of muscles...

LOL!
the Imp's are saying "let me go" *bliss*

[Xerxes]

Thanks :)

Yea, a lot of weapon need to be recenter ; the position of the rocket launcher, for exemple, was move when you stop firing
normally, that should not make that, I am going to look for why. If I don't find, I would modify his position at the time of shooting

I update the patch at the moment ;)

[Xerxes]

I would have finished a new beta version soon for jDarken2! :)
However, in order to not that to replace the objects by models only, I have look for has contact the team of Darken on the site but without any answer :(
Would someone have him an address of messaging where I would be able to contact them quickly? ;)

[Xerxes]

A new version of the bêta patch of jDarken2 is available :)
They are a lot of improvement ;)

[joe2]

*burn* when i try to download Darken2 for JDoom the link dosen't work it seeds me to a difforent page that has a difforent lagwege

[joe2]

i was wondering if you could change the assult rife, to the chaingun for Quake 2

[Xerxes]

Hello, joe :)

Sorry for the links, it is possible that he doesn't function because tiscali update their server at the moment.:( When it will be re-established, I will warn you ;)
It irritates me as much as you *burn*

For the chaingun, if you want, I will make a patch to put it *smirk*

EDIT : i was make the patch quickly ; It's available on my Website
I think what the problem with tiscali is finished

[Xerxes]

The musics pack for jDarken2 is available and a new bêta version coming some :)

The music pack is big : 31.7 Mo :-S
So, start all your Accelerate download program ;)

EDIT : The FunMonster pack and the Musics pack of jDarken2 is not available for the moment
I've got some problem with the hoster :D

[Xerxes]

The 2 packs are re-available!!! :)

DoomCity (http://doomcity.chez.tiscali.fr)

[Harry]

Wow, 3 posts in a row! I will look at it soon;)

[Xerxes]

yes, I know, I often make that :D
Because one cannot edit his post a long time :(
So I prefer make that rather than create some new thread...

[Xerxes]

The new bêta version of jDarken2 is available

in this version, the détail textures is prepared but not start
So, some textures can be ugly

i work principaly on the UI

[joe2]

when i try to download the new version of jDarken II it gives me a error saying that it can't find the file on that server

[Xerxes]

Damn, I have just noticed that tiscali update their server again *mad*
that begins to irritate me seriously *burn*

I am going to see for your problem...

EDIT : you're right : they don't work...
Now, i'm furious http://doomcity.chez.tiscali.fr/data/Smiley/icon27.gif


EDIT2 :
I have put solution on the site until the problem adjust

[joe2]

i still cant download the new version of Jdarken 2 i tryed t right click on it but it still gives me a error

[Ffabbia]

Same problem here with downloading. I can't use right click 'save target as' either as the target is an error link to a HTML.

[Xerxes]

Dirty trick of Tiscali *burn*
I am going to redo the files for correct that ;)

EDIT : It's done :)

[Xerxes]

Any new post...
I need know if they work. Someone has re-try download the patch ?

[primus1236]

I've tried. It worked for me, although I can't get it to start *mad*
Kickstart keeps complaining about the files not being in the same place, the wads I mean.

[Xerxes]

The file for KickStart is in the root of Doomsday
When Kickstart starts, he goes replaced the file automatically in the KicksProfil folder
He is sufficient you therefore just select jDarken2 in the list of the games (like for select Doom ; Doom2 ; Hexen ; etc...)

He doesn't function anymore as an Addon for Doom2
He configure now, like another game

EDIT : I have forget something important, the darken2.wad file must be in the folder data/jDoom/ with Doom2.wad

[Xerxes]

some old screenshot about the last beta version of jDarken2

[Jimi]

Looks like fun. The 2_2 screenshot is 404.

[Xerxes]

Oops, it's an error, the 2_2 don't exist :D lol
i've include a night vision like we can see on the 2_1
But it's some old screenshot, since they are some improvement like better detail texture, shiny

They are some modification on the user interface
Some wanted model are present
they are now a lot of ambient sound
the shiny are complete
the detail texture are nearly complete
etc...

For the last veta version (before the 1.0), they just wanted the monster sound and model

[Xerxes]

The beta 3 of jdarken2 is now available. It's the last beta version of jdarken, so the next version are the complete
They have a lot of visual improvement like the detail texture finish, the shiny and other... And now, all the object (without monster) are in 3D
For the 1.0 version, I just need correct some map and convert the monster and finally make the particle for more realistic and gore

[picklebro]

so if I download jdarken2 I can use it even if I do not have Quake2?

[primus1236]

You can, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal. I think xerxes used resources from the original mod, so you can't legally use it without having quake 2. :(

You can play the Darken2 mod for regular doom on any regular DooM engine though.

[picklebro]

Now I understand - I couldn't tell from the site ...thanks.

[Xerxes]

yea, i'ts the problem, for the 1.0 version, i search a way for check the existance of Quake2 in your computer at the install

[Stimpee]

ok, i loved the original darkening and this seems to add something to the mix. however, the music is immediately annoying (so i switched it off). but what it most annoying is the constant noise from footsteps and from the planes flying overhead sound. gave me a real headache. other that that, most enjoyable. Any way of switching these sounds off?

btw, are the resources you need from Quake 2 included in the Quake 2 3.14 Multiplayer demo? (ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/q2-314-demo-x86.exe). Then people wouldnt need to own the full version :)

[Xerxes]

lol If you want, i can make a command line for desactivate the plane flying and his sound
same with the footsteps :D

thanks for the link, for the 1.0 version, i prepare a free alternat version :)

[Xerxes]

The final version of jDarken2 is now available !!!
The monsters are done like a lot of stuff that be improved.
And a free jDarken2 version are now available.

EDIT : I see a lot of trouble in multiplayer under the cooperative mode with all the object and especially the monster. If anybody have an idea for the reason of these big bug .......

[Darmuss]

Xerves I think the file is corrupt in some way.

It won't unpack probably.

[Xerxes]

Really !!!
It's possible that they have a problem at the upload ...
i go test it and re-upload it if it's necessary ;)

EDIT : I've re-upload the file
Now, it's done ;)

[Jimi]

Imps are sometimes stuck in above the crates. Revenant replacements go sometimes about half into the ceiling... and their grenades makes them suicide. hihihii. But it is really fun anyway.

[Xerxes]

yes i know, the problem is that the monster are more big than th original but for correct this, i go reduce his size and it's ok :)
but for, the grenade, i search a way for that the monster shot this with a more distance

[Jimi]

If you increase the speed of the projctile, but they might still kill them selves with those things when they try to aim at the target when it's lower than them. Maybe you could replace the revenants with cyber- or spiderdemon as they don't take any damage from explosions. You don't have to change the doomed number or anything in the maps, just the ID of the monster. So CYBORG and SPIDER IDs will do the trick. Of course then the original CYBORG or SPIDER need another ID. I'm not sure what happens if you have 2 monsters having the same ID.

[Xerxes]

oh yes, great idéa :) thanks
I really need make a complete list for these ID effect...

[XDelusion]

What packages do I need to download if I want all the models and everything?

Also how do I start this up, where do I put the files etc?

I don't usually use JDOOM and there are no instructions. :/

[XDelusion]

I figured it out! Quite cool, though the weaon stenth and hit point ratio seem to be off. Since it does not matter where you hit the enemy, I think it would be more enjoyable if some of them were a bit tougher.

Aside of certain short comings of the JDOOM engine, your work is awsome, thankx for the contribution to the scene!

[DistantJ]

I used some Quake 2 weapons in jDooM before, I dunno if it was legal or not.

But laods of people use Abbs' weapons pack, and they're borrowed from Half-Life.

[DistantJ]

Downloaded jDarken2. Wow I love it! Heh. Hey how did you get your logo thing to appear before the title screen? I'd like to perhaps create the thing from Playstation DooM where the word "DooM" rises up out of fire before the menu screen for my PSXDooM Partial Conversion.

[Xerxes]

For do it, you need use the infine script
the id of the infine script of the menu is "title"
exemple :
InFine {
ID = "title"
Script {
NoSkip
Trigger

patch back 0 0 "XERXES"
alpha back 0
sound "intro"
in 1 alpha back 1
Wait 3

MARKER title_loop
Set back "TITLEPIC"
MusicOnce "dm2ttl"
Wait 10
Set back "CREDIT"
Wait 20
GOTO title_loop
}
}

[DistantJ]

Exellent! Thanks!

Hm, can I set it to come up with the title screen when you hit enter? And is there an action to make it bring the menu up?

[Xerxes]

hm... i don't know
because the menu is independent of the script

[Xerxes]

hello all :)

I've updated jDarken2 in order to make it compatible with the last beta version of Doomsday

I've corrected two stuff
The graphics folder that's different in the new version
and the text.ded file : different too in the new version

Now, that re-work :)
