Hiya. Still experimenting with crazy ideas here. Trying out drawing new sprites for the enemies and using SOC edits to give them different attacks, etc. Is it possible to load different enemies for each zone in the game? For example, the first zone could have Crawlas, Jettys, etc. Then the...

Hmm, didn't try an FOF for it. I was using one as a roof for the base, then trying to hang flags on the edges with a single linedef that only had a top texture, but it just tiled it over the whole linedef instead.

Ahhh ok. Never thought of that, lol Do the other light effects work ok? The base sectors are on a raised area of the map that isn't immediately obvious to spot if you're under attack and haven't played the map before, so I wanted to give it some sort of flashing light effect to draw attention...

Don't think so. I'm using Doombuilder, and I set the Linedef effect to give the sector a pulsating light effect, and set the sector effect as red/blue team base. Used a light texture from THZ. Red one for the red base, blue one for the blue base. Don't see any other settings that would...

Hi. Tried designing a CTF map recently. Since I didn't have anyone to test play it with, I put a one-player start in it and launched it in SRB2 to see how it looked. It seemed to run ok, but the character died every time it entered one of the sectors I'd set up as the red team and blue team...

Ahh ok, didn't notice that one... *smacks forehead on keyboard several times...* Thanks :wink:

Hi, me again... Been going through every level/character creation tutorial I can find to pick up tips for my level designing experiments. Seen a few references to Objectplace, but I'm still not sure exactly what it is, or how to use it. Not sure if someone has already posted this. I tried...

Cool. That'll do then. Thanks :wink:

Hmm, the custom exit thing sounds a bit like it. It's really something like, instead of making the levels go in a sequence like: level 1 level 2 level 3 and so on... Say Level 2 has an alternate exit hidden somewhere in it, that when the player cleared the level that way, the sequence would...

When you're making a whole pack of levels, is it possible to make hidden alternate exits that lead to secret levels before going on to the next level in the sequence. Sort of like the Military base level in Doom 1 where there was a hidden exit that moved you to another level instead of just...

Hmm, sounds interesting. What is SOC editing? Got an idea for a whole set of levels, but I wanted another boss enemy with more powerful attacks for the final stage. Got quite a few crazy ideas actually, but the others can be worked around somehow with the existing stuff. :wink:

Yeah, probably would be like adding a totally new enemy. I got the idea from watching the basic eggman boss, thought maybe you could change him into something else, then alter his rocket-firing animation to throwing fireballs or something. Then when he tries to ram into you, change that to a...

Or maybe Cream the rabbit doing an Easter Bunny impression... *shudders and looks around for an armageddon shield...*

Would it be possible to alter the boss and it's attacks so it could be like a weird evil version of one of the characters that could attack you by spindashing at you or throwing fireballs or something? Or would the AI for that be too complex? I get some wild ideas sometimes! :twisted:

Yeah, thanks for the tip :) I think I've figured out the trick with them now, still get some odd bugs here and there, but I'm getting the hang of it now. The Wad Author tutorial is still useful. Just a case of figuring out how to do the same tricks in Doombuilder. If I get everything...
