NDCP2 NOT Released. Final Testing

[MR_ROCKET]

From the looks of it ace, your textures that you wanted to be animated were not added to the resource wad until some time after res7. they show up in the latest build which I'd imagine didn't get added to the animation lump.
I had no luck at finding the .dat, jetflock may have it though.

I may but I am uncertain....what exactly should I be looking for?

[MR_ROCKET]

A dat that has ace's lava flats and wall texture names in it.
But I think I found the old one finally, my lites are in it so that was the last time I looked at it, so it must be it. Thing is I don't know if you or someone else has added anything to it since then.
Never the less I added aces texture names in the dat list below, can you and everyone else verify this please? before I make the new lumps.

ace is this all about your map23? if so, ok..
The only thing I'm worried about is some other texture losing it's animation that may not be in the list.
All that's left is to extract both the switches and animation lumps from the current ndcp2 wad and check that each texture name is there in both lumps and the above dat.
If all checks out ok, then it's just a matter of replacing the current animation lumps in the wad with the new ones.
The more eyes to look at it the better, at least if you want to heh.
Then I'll post the new animation lumps here.

EDIT:

ok I'v verified and added ace's texture names to the animation dat file.
~ replaced the SWITCHES and ANIMATED lumps in the mega also and all looks good.

But there's a new problem, the textures ace_lav1-4
(as shown at the in the image at the top of the page)
were added as patches instead of flats..

These textures are 64x64 and look like flats to me.
The quickest and easiest way I can see to fix this is to re-add
them to the mega wad as flat textures with different names..
eg. acelava1-4. and the changes can be made to the animation dat also.

EDIT:
Ok, changes have been made and the mega wad has new SWITCHES and ANIMATED lumps along with acelava1-4 as flat textures.
Here's download link: disregard last download link..I made another small update so the texture will be animated at a flat or wall.. Here's new download link::
http://rapidshare.com/files/20846495...date2.zip.html
Same pass..

*Note rapidshare only allows for 10 downloads or something like that, so if PS can't get it, someone make sure to send it to him.
Thanks!

[ace]

It was intended just to be as a texture, as the flat already exists in the IWAD. No worries though, that fixes it! I think my stuff is all set then.

Thank you very much, sir!

[MR_ROCKET]

Hey np man, your work deserves it.
My work here is done then.

NEXT!
I refuse to fix texture name errors having to do with actual map editing, the original authors should see it fit to fix things like that in their own map(s) etc.
I'm sure you agree, this goes for you too..if the above applies. :P
Texture name fields filled with gibberish has nothing to do with the texture resources or resource wad.

[PumpkinSmasher]

I got that Downloaded Rocket.
I'll combine that with Jetflocks updates, and fix map13.
I'll try to look into some of the other minor issues, but I may not be able to fix all the little problems with everyone's maps.

[MR_ROCKET]

Sounds good, I'm up for getting this thing out to the public too!
~ just a few minor tweaks then, and I hear the readme needs updated, I'd imagine the site needs it too.
Ok a few major tweaks but it shouldn't take long.

*Here's a bunch of map screenshots for the web site if you need them, also converted them to 256 color for better load time.
http://rapidshare.com/files/20864780..._3_09.zip.html

Again the link at the site should be taken down until this thing's finalized, ya know?

[MR_ROCKET]

I decided to go ahead and fix most of the things that Nuxius mentioned on page 1:
MAP02 NOT-APPLICABLE//Macro11_1
- Missing DM starts
+fixed

MAP07 NotsoSimple//LoganMTM
- DB's 3D mode start needs to be removed
+fixed

MAP15 Down the Drain//Osiris's_Legacy
- DB's 3D mode start needs to be removed
- Missing DM starts
+fixed

MAP16 Conglomerate Complex//Various
- Missing DM starts
+fixed

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAP21 Second Attention//Danimetal
- Thing 601 stimpack outside of map
- Missing DM starts
+fixed ~ actually it was thing 603 stimpack, which was outside of the map.


MAP24 ???//CrazedImp
-----------Crazedimp says it's ok to add random DM starts to his map------------------------------------

MAP30 Icon of Chaos//Logan MTM
- That weird missing texture name is still there.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I wont host the fixed version unless all above authors are good with it..
The DM starts were just placed in at random to avoid a crash during online play.

[jetflock]

I already sent Pumpkin the map fixes for my maps.

[MR_ROCKET]

Ok, updated the list.
Alright Exl, I removed you from the list too.

[Exl]

I already posted my fixed maps earlier.

[MR_ROCKET]

Well good, then it's mostly just adding some DM starts to some of the maps then.
~ I doubt that anyone would mind having their 3D mode start removed as well heh
PS should be able to do that, with respect to the authors, if you guys could post some coordinates for about 4-8 DM starts that would be good.
For these maps:
map02
map15
map16
map21
map24

Example:
X,Y : 192,-416 | Angle ~ NE
X,Y : 608,-800 | Angle ~ W
X,Y : 1748,-352 | Angle ~ SW
X,Y : 1984,-672 | Angle ~ E

Which ever is easiest for you, posting DM start coordinates or just updating your map with DM starts and sending it in one last time.

[CrazedImp]

Just randomly add some angles to the DM starts in mine, I'm not really fussed about how they are placed. My map isn't exactly DM friendly anyway.
