Sort of as a challenge a while back when I figured out Zeta Aquilae's texturing formula (the real reason behind Coolyard's complete palette switch), I tried to create a texture scheme that captured the ZA spirit while not using one of the two themes the original system presented. The result was a gr...

LightWolf

How's the demo coming?

LightWolf

Also just wanted to point out that secret level tracks start from level 2 and not level 1. On a related note, the secret levels should also be kept in mind when choosing tracks for levels 2-7. I don't see something like D1L11 working in Dynamo. Maybe that faster-paced song from D2 (either level 2 or...

LightWolf

Dynamo maybe?

Then again, I was kind of thinking D1 13 for that level.

LightWolf

But what about the credits?

LightWolf

We also need to remember the briefing and credits. D1 briefing works quite well for the briefing, but both credits songs look like they'd fit in a level somewhere.

LightWolf

On the topic of credits, I was thinking (since there are so many people involved) that rather than the newer "Here's all 60 levels/28 tracks/whatever and their individual authors", we should use a traditional "The level designers are X, Y, and Z; the musicians are A, B, and C; the wha...

LightWolf

Either testing BBCode or posting random crap. I've mainly done the latter, however I have done the former as well.

LightWolf

I actually had an idea for that level. Currently working on attaching the main room to the main feature...

I've recently had my connection closed upon attempting login. Removing the ":80" from the address seemed to have helped.

Same problem when posting.

In the case of Uber, the service A) had been paid for, B) was not in violation of Uber's policy, and C) was not religiously motivated, thus not putting this in first amendment category. In the case of that cake, it A) had not been paid for yet, B) the cake was in violation of company policy, and C) ...

LightWolf

Unfortunately this is the only one.
Still need some other parts to this though before it is truly finished... You any good at texturing or polymodelling?

LightWolf

Made a couple large changes as well as some tweaks in WD 2.0.

LightWolf

Or get someone else in the primary

LightWolf

Kill the remaining 'ops, then get to the surface. You can't destroy the reactor because <spoiler>.

LightWolf

Maybe time for a switch?
I generally use a completely whacked control setup, but was able to survive on another to show someone else Descent, so...

LightWolf

A cat a whole year old!? Wow!

LightWolf

Just to be clear, is the level OMENS, or is it a series of sorts of which PTMC-VCF is a part of?

LightWolf

The level editor released last week. Time to see what I can do.

Edit: Not off to a good start! It doesn't want to run!
Edit 2: The moment I say that...

LightWolf

You mean this one?

LightWolf

Took the liberty of putting gear and gears into Ceres. The updated 5-level demo It comes at the end of the original 4 levels. All 5 levels have been modified to support full 4/8 multiplayer (I did avoid structure changes, though IMO level 4 could use a post-Parallax D2 mechanic to better facilitate ...

LightWolf

No problemo.

LightWolf

...wow.

"Quilty" with a Q

I don't think you meant that Bill Cosby was a quilt.

The majority. This is just to get a rough idea of where people fall.

Burlyman wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 11:12 am How would you define reactionary?

"Reactionary" is extreme conservatism, just like "Radical" is extreme liberalism.

LightWolf

It seems pretty obvious (most topics and posts lean left), but I'm curious about how many people fall where on DBB's political spectrum.

LightWolf

I personally hang out on the dedicated Overload forums.

I was thinking about doing Vignettes.

Don't worry, not all at once. I was thinking about doing the first 5 levels, checking the quality with the community, then doing the other 22.
Level 17's going to be fun though...

LightWolf

I think I know one.

LightWolf

At some point in the next couple months Revival is going to release a level editor for Overload. I want to learn the editor by converting some of your favorite Descent missions.
Post your suggestions below!

LightWolf

I know the Secret level was definitely an interesting mingling of D1 and D2 secret level styles. I might try its style on my next D1 endeavor.

Hint: It's on the same level as the alternate exit in Orion Nebula Project.

LightWolf

I've noticed (due to having several Rebirth installs for this or that) that AF only fails on some Rebirths. On my primary install it worked fine, but I copied it to my Beta install and it doesn't.

LightWolf

@Phozon Gotta admit that track is a little better than Water.

LightWolf

I had a realization though - the midi music in D1 contributed greatly to the identity and atmosphere of each level, and only having the 4 midi tracks in D2 is hugely detrimental. That's why I liked Calmarius' runs, where he somehow got the D1 midis to play in D2 levels. I unfortunately don't know h...

Looks like we need to worry more about the people who push the button getting high.

The floor in segment 633. It's right outside the red door.

LightWolf

There's a grate in a ceiling that's flagged as requiring the yellow key. Kinda funny to shoot a random grate and hear the locked door sound with "Yellow access denied".

LightWolf

Actually I got the inspiration from the default cube textures when you start a new level in DLE. I also gave the level a quick QOL update. Should fix the mentioned issues. (Be on the lookout for another way to the exit cubbyhole.) Alex, where'd you find that music? Makes me think the level should ha...

LightWolf

That Enceladus?

LightWolf

What do I hate?
The default level 1 track from Descent 2. The other defaults are fine. Kill that one. Please.

LightWolf

If Descent 4 were real, how do you picture it? (Both gameplay- and story-wise)
