It's not IC 0.0.2 - we're still waiting on a Linux build of the code - but it's the next best thing, and for those luddites among you who are watching Into Cerberon with every expectation of being able to play it sometime in the next decade when you eventually buy a computer good enough to play Doom...

Is there joystick support yet? Just wondering, not bitching. I'm afraid not, we've still got too much to do with the net synchronization system and the collision model for me to dive into joystick-into-Doom3 hacks. We might also decide to do alternative mouse control system before exploring joystic...

The code is off to our cross-compilers, the art and scripts are finlized, and I'm working on the documentation to send to our translators. Into Cerberon 0.0.2 should hopefully be out this weekend; the big feature is Sp3ctre's \"ic_mine\" map (such an original name, eh?), which should feel ...

Yeah, we've stalled a bit due to Other Factors (iceheart's computer died, repeatedly, I've been busy with some other projects, etc.), but we're still working.

Thanks, I got it out fine.

Does anyone have a copy of the L7 Descent Boss \"grinding\" noise or know how I could extract it from the game data myself?

I want to sample it for some promo material for IC.

HeXetic

Right, sorry. I forget because I've put \"com_allowconsole 1\" in my auto-execute script for Doom3.

HeXetic

The main menu is, shall we say, less than functional at this point. \"New Game\" won't work because there is no singleplayer. Starting a new multiplayer game also won't work because IC is mostly incompatible with the built-in DM maps, and the start-multiplayer menu doesn't show the IC maps...

HeXetic

I have already begun looking at a way to hack DirectInput joystick control into Doom3, but for now we're focusing on somewhat more pressing issues such as \"having a game to play the joystick with\".

The IC Team is pleased to announce the release of the first play-test version of our Doom 3 mod, Into Cerberon. http://www.chmodoplusr.com/IntoCerberon/Local/Images/Darkness_s.jpg This playable (basically ;)) release includes two maps, the Pyro GX ship model, lasers, the minigun, concussion missiles...

The most likely culprit for the situation you describe is a failing, ailing, or just plain insufficient power supply. My present computer's second power supply, an Antec 550 (that I had to buy to power my 6800 Ultra), was failing to deliver sufficient voltage on the +5v rail, resulting in a computer...

It's your choice. Fans at the front blow in. Fans at the back blow out. If you have a two-slot rear-exhausting graphics card (like a GeForce 7800), you may want to have a side fan duct fresh air in. Otherwise, you may want to have it duct hot air out in order to prevent hot air from the graphics car...

I check the IC forums almost every 30 minutes at work and it has been absolutely rock-stable for me. The server is based in Texas.

Maybe it's the footstep noises?

In any case, multiplayer Doom 3, provided you have people who are competent FPS players, is basically Q3A in the dark, which means you run, you jump, you shoot, and you careen. It's not a question of tracking down, it's a question of twitch-turn-fire.

One of the features they added in Quake 4 was better global lighting support than Doom3, allowing them to easily give everything the appearance of softer lighting. Re: WA. If you're talking about monsters, in both D3 and Q4, they always know the exact position of the player. There's no hiding from t...

For those of you who wondered where we were the last couple of weeks, the post on the (brand new) Into Cerberon website should explain it. Welcome back to Into Cerberon. I hope the two weeks of downtime weren't too harsh. For those of you who missed it, the basic story goes like this: 1. Everything ...

We have the model, the normalmap, the glossmap, the bloom, the engine, and the code...

You're welcome to try but given that past id Software "shareware"/demo versions haven't worked with mods and that the 6DoF mod is based off the 1.3 code, I doubt it'll work.

HeXetic

Well, obviously that won't be there in the actual Into Cerberon mod...

Now, pretend you're at the eye doctor. "Better, or worse (than Ds3)?"

I also have had bots going berserk behind secret doors, firing away even though they have 0% chance of hitting me (exception: missiles do blast damage through the door) and should have had 0% chance of seeing or hearing me. Also, I noticed this in D2 L6: http://www.planetcnc.com/staff/hexetic/d2-l6-...

You might not know this, but "Quack III" is actually a real thing and not just a mere misspelling. When Q3A first came out, it turned out that ATI drivers for their flagship 8500 card were doing some "illicit" reductions in image quality while running Q3A in order to boost benchm...

With 1.4.43, I don't seem to be able to get to the "configure keyboard" or "configure above" part of the controls menu. Pressing 'up' on the keyboard positively refuses to move the selection any higher than "Mouse Sensitivity".

What sort of trouble?

W3bdevil did a great job with it and I asked him about that myself. Apparently, it was quite easy. He simply used the Photoshop "Pattern Overlay" layer feature to apply a Photoshop-standard "rock" texture to the text. He also used a top-to-bottom gradient layer overlay to give it...

This is absolutely 100% an advertisement, and if there's a better place for it, then please move it there! I just wanted to announce that the new website and forums for Descent-into-Doom3 mod Into Cerberon are now "live" and ready for user participation. http://www.chmodoplusr.com/IntoCerb...

I just picked up the Infinite Abyss from there.

I'm just a few hours away from finishing up a "6DOF Doom3" proof-of-concept mod (so far, no major problems), but in the meantime I wanted to release this "atmosphere" piece to help set the kind of mood I would like to create in Into Cerberon , the Descent-into-DoomÂ³ mod. It's a ...

Hellbender was Direct3D, a sort of spiritual sequel to "Fury 3", which itself was basically a port to Windows (with some changes to the singleplayer) of the DOS game Terminal Velocity. Fury3 was one of MS's big opening acts for Windows 95 and also was the frontpiece for the original Sidewi...

We don't want to "dump the mod down to a skill level appealing to groundpounders". The simple fact of the matter is, as I've stated again and again, that none of us on the mod team (at least, the team as it was yesterday when this started) even remember tri-chord boosting and neither do my...

HeXetic

Slowguy, you're taking my quote out of context. I didn't say tri-chording wasn't skill, I asked how people can say tri-chording is a skill and dodging scenery isn't. Just as you point out I haven't tri-chorded, I'm pointing out that no-one here has dodged the kind of scenery we plan to implent.

HeXetic

I would like to do a little "Yes, yes, to obi-Sirius you listen, mmmmmmmmmmmmm?" thing here, mainly given the time of year. That having been said, I really don't see how you can claim that tri-chording represents "mad skillz" while dodging behind scenery isn't. You can bet with t...

Okay, my apologies to psionik and doomkid3000 both, but I thought I'd post this whole conversation from #IntoCerberon au naturel because it makes for a better effect. Obviously, emphasis added later. [00:37] <iceheart> reply :) [00:38] <iceheart> wow trichording apparently is a "serendipitous f...

But as you can see, clearly there was some confusion about the issue; I believe WarAddict was definitely thinking it was the other thing. I really want to point out that as much as the weapons and general idea is similar, there are going to be differences in gameplay style and mapping that may elimi...

I think we're making progress here. People, when I say "tri-chording will be toggleable", I mean, "you can always move in all three directions at once, but with the default setting doing so doesn't give you a speed boost": [23:28] <kuruption> i have one important question for you...

HeXetic

I'm sorry, but you really can 't tie tri-chording to the developers' intentions simply by mentioning both things in the same post. Come on, what's more likely for Descent 1 and 2? They deliberately did it that way, knowing about tri-chording giving a speed-boost, or they ignorantly left out the norm...

I have to laugh at arguments about not wanting to split this fictional userbase we have. Let's ask the average man-in-the street what he thinks of the current system in Into Cerberon after playing it last night with friends! Oh wait, we can't , because there is no Into Cerberon yet. We really should...

Helicopters also have a little thing called "preservation of momentum" that is quite distinctly absent from Descent.

Please don't talk about me as if I wasn't here. If I "don't understand", let me remind you there are three other people on the team who also "don't understand", so the fault likely lies on the part of the "people who tried to make them understand".
