NDCP2 NOT Released. Final Testing

[ghost]

Ohhh sorry Nuxius! I mis-read your post as well instead of We Will, my bad.
I should have added a :P with that "HOW COULD YOU" post, because I wasn't being serious at all. Heh, darn internet.

Looking forward to your reviews FATAL, and the community's output. Nothing's better than reviews and demos. Keep up the good work Pumpy.

The textures LFALL1-LFALL4 and ACE_LAV1-ACE_LAV4 need to be animated. Dunno how to do that myself...

Also, MAP24 and MAP30 have some unknown garbage textures. Don't know if that will affect compatibility with any ports or not.

[darkboy85]

Hi for the LFALLS and the other texture you wanna animate,You should make an ANIMDEFS lump in XWE,its very easy to understand and its the easiest way to animate textures. For a tutorial just google Doom animdefs .

[darkboy85]

for the animdefs lump go to ZDOOM wiki.

[Aliotroph?]

Considering they were aiming for BooM compatibility I would have recommended the ANIMATED lump from BooM.

[Logan MTM]

ZDoom and GZDoom are fully BooM compatible. I don't think any new lumps from ZDoom will crash other ports like Boom, PrBoom, etc.

[ace]

Yes, but if the textures are only animated with ANIMDEFS, then they will not be animated in Boom, or any other non ZDoom-based port for that matter.

I did attempt quite some time ago to get an ANIMATED lump to work, but it didn't take. Perhaps I'll try again today.

[PumpkinSmasher]

I've never animated any textures, so if someone knows how to do that, I would appreciate it.

[DooMAD]

If it's a falling liquid texture, just scroll the texture instead. Personally, I think it looks better like that anyway.

[Logan MTM]

@Ace
Loading the 2 lumps ( ANIMATED and ANINDEF ) should work?

[Macro11_1]

I have to say this while the project is nearing completion. It honestly hasn't felt like 3 years or w/e since this started... kind of scary huh?

As for the Animated lumps, Um.. well I think if you look at CC1 and CC2 you might see some custom animated textures, see how they did it? Heck, I thought rocket knew how... where is he right now anyways?

Ah well, I am excited and wetting my pants daily in anticipation for this things release, if need be I can take a look and see if I can get the textures to animate.

Again, good work by PS, Rocket, Jetflock and other mappers

Heh, I have moved twice and went through 3 girlfriends since I joined this project (not to mention a few "crisis" events,lol)....and at the time, I had joined late.
In any case, I have a steady internet connection and I am awaiting the release!
Good job kids! Can't wait to try it in co-op!
Mmmmm....

[Raptor Jesus]

Lol, we should have 1 huge epic coop of this with EVERYONE who helped out on this xD.

[FATAL]

I can see it already:

Fixed map31; http://www.dvdflick.net/storage/ndcp2map31.zip

Some things I noticed in a quick look through; map02 (at least when sidedefs were compressed) crashed ZDoom 2.3.0. map03 has a bunch of unconnected lines though this isn't anything serious. Also, don't forget to apply sidedef compression to the WAD once it's done. Saves 12 Mb off the final size. And lastly, I apologize for the sub-par quality of map12. I have no idea what I was thinking at the time!

[Irod22]

Keep going! I'm sure this project will be legendary!

[MR_ROCKET]

Alright, so someone pm me a location we can coop in. ;P

Edit:
We need to take the link down and update the site first, until this thing finally gets quality check updated.
Plz.

[MR_ROCKET]

Oh yeah, http://legacywiki.net/index.php/ANIMATED
Actaully I think the animated and switches lumps were working or had all the fixen's around res7 so I'll see if I can find those backups.

[ace]

Aha! Well that's a right pain in the ass, though, you have to create a new DAT file every time more animated textures are added. D:|

I'm not sure I had submitted my second map with the extra animations before RES7, but it's been so long I don't really remember. No harm in checking, though. If not, is there any chance that the last DAT file used to generate the ANIMATED and SWITCH lumps are still around? If so, that'd be the quickest fix.

[MR_ROCKET]

Well I'v found this version so far from a todo I had backed up for Res6.

But it looks like it might be missing some stuff, I remember making a few animated Lite flats myself but dont see it in here..
So I must have added those to Res7's animated dat resource. I wouldn't know if your lava fall versions were added at some point later.
At this point I'm wanting to agree with DooMAD about just making your lava wall scroll down with a line type instead of trying to recreate the dat with a question of what else would be missing in order to put it back how it is currently. you know? scrolling them would most likely look better anyway, as they can scroll as different speeds without hitch.
On top of that, I dont know if Jetflock did any more to it after that point either.
Your lava falls and my lites could be added sure, but would risk losing other animations and I really dont want to get into that either lol.
However, I havent got my CD's out yet, which should have res7 floating about..
Once I find res7 I'll have to view the ANIMATED lump with note pad and look for your lava names: LFALL1-LFALL4 and ACE_LAV1-ACE_LAV4. doubtful but I'll look.
