And still being updated!

TRUEpiiiicness

What's the current stance on the unused-in-d1 spanner doors? Can they be used freely in a level like the grated doors but for rooms with an energy center?

TRUEpiiiicness

One more thing about level 45, it will be a zeta aquilae level

Also for the people who can see levels in that dropbox. I bet you can't find what is special about the location of the three keys in level 31. Hint: Look at the Automap.

TRUEpiiiicness

Finally finished level 31!
I think my next target is level 45, but I'm not sure whether to name it 'Artosis Deep Station' or 'Deep Station Artosis'. Which one sounds better?

TRUEpiiiicness

Demo actually works now! (I hope)

Question for testers, how loud or quiet is the non-standard music compared to sfx? Just wondering.

TRUEpiiiicness

Oh ★■◆● I did forget to rename countdown.ham. I'll sort that shortly. (I just copied the main countdown mission, removed level 8-27 and the music for those and rezipped them.

TRUEpiiiicness

Just putting the demo here because the DMDB is probably forever dead now.
It has some small changes compared to the demos from ages ago. Now you are able to see the D1 doorlights with D2 animations for the first time. (On level 6

)

(See below post for demo)

Sorry, I meant version 1.4. I already have V1.3, but I would like hear the old sound for a certain 2 doors.

TRUEpiiiicness

Is there an updated link anywhere? The ones in the OP are dead.

TRUEpiiiicness

HA, that last screenshot is the best way to (re)introduce the warlord. Mega to the face!

Wow you are impressively stupid, what a good laugh it was to read those few sentences.

TRUEpiiiicness

That's literally the function of an alarm. :huh: Yeah but you're going to be hearing it a LOT all the way through ~23 of the levels. Your ears will probably be ringing if that's all you hear for a long time. It might also be a bit ear rapey for headphone users. Dont worry though, it wont be too qui...

TRUEpiiiicness

Does anybody think it would a good idea to lower the volume of the self destruct alarm? Since you'll hear it a lot more than normal it might get annoying.

Secondly, is it even possible?

TRUEpiiiicness

Probably ran off back to facefuck and parlor.

TRUEpiiiicness

I have a feeling this will be around for quite some time yet.

And speaking of websites, the DMDB is down unfortunately.

TRUEpiiiicness

I believe it makes you able to fly through a certain wall as if its not there. The actual wall texture stays, and robots and projectiles are able to pass through as well

TRUEpiiiicness

I think it's time to list the level names since I've finally thought of good names for the last few levels. 1: Zeta Outpost 2: Cyro laboratory 3: Amalthea Firecrystal mine 4: Quartzon Military Base 5: The Shadow Nodes 6: Driller testing lab 7: Fatty's Sandpit 8: The Icicle Factory 9: Maze Sprinter 1...

TRUEpiiiicness

I should have said this a long time ago but this project is temporarily on hold until my contributions to descent 1.5 are done. Since I am the only person working on this, I can take as long as I need, so other people's projects are a priority. So to summarize, no this project is not dead just on ho...

TRUEpiiiicness

Nice! I've got a good idea of what the level will be be like. Since the second word of the name is an anagram of stranded, imagine d1 level 23 where there is obvious sections for each key with corridors and rooms in between. Some or all sections will block you in with with a wall or similar until to...

TRUEpiiiicness

People are getting exponentially more stupid so there is a lot more bash about.

TRUEpiiiicness

By the way, would you mind sending the a copy of the level back after you have done with it so I can look at it and improve levels in the future.
Also it'll be less work for you then.

And speaking of making levels, am I worthy enough to do level 31 now that I have shown what I can do?

Done and sent

TRUEpiiiicness

Many thanks for the reviews.

One more thing about level 22, I believe I forgot to set triggers for the matcen above the hostage forcefield. There should be one coming out of the nearby yellow door and two more coming from both directions from the area with the blue key.

TRUEpiiiicness

A quick question about secret level entrances. Can I put one in the level I'm making? Just in case that this level is the in right spot for an entrance, it is made ready to go. If not just replace it with a normal secret.

TRUEpiiiicness

Yeah, we're not aiming for gimmick-based levels here, but more for naturalistic layouts like levels in D1, CS and Vertigo. Excessive symmetry for example is not quite what we're after. Other than that you've pretty much got free rein, the only gimmick is to keep to the level's intended theme - so i...

TRUEpiiiicness

So I've been looking at the first post and I see that level 22 and 31 are not taken. Is it alright of I take one of those level slots?
I would like to build without being tied to a level concept like I am with The Countdown.

TRUEpiiiicness

One more thing before I forget, it requires the latest version of rebirth because of the previous crashing issue.

TRUEpiiiicness

I've decided to just make the level public because these problems with level 18 are becoming a huge thorn in my side now.

Here is the level: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

TRUEpiiiicness

I believe I have narrowed it down to it only happening when the countdown is active. It also doesn't matter whether there are robots or not as it happens with and without them. (Using the Spaniard cheat once.)
What happens behind the scene post-reactor destruction that this level doesn't like?

TRUEpiiiicness

Yes it's back again, it's not the same bug as last time which was texture related. Now it's a CTD that happens at random times which tells me it may be robot or object related. Unfortunately I can't find a way to reproduce it reliably, I can be doing anything at all and then it'll just die on me the...

TRUEpiiiicness

Ah ok thats a good amount. Does this include spaces or do they not matter?

TRUEpiiiicness

I remember having an issue with it, but I dont remember the exact number. I thought it was around 30. Can someone correct me if it's wrong?

TRUEpiiiicness

Two thirds done! Just ten to go!

Here is a nice spoiler for the new level 20 to get excited about.

TRUEpiiiicness

Thanks for the info.
A .hxm it is then, because it is only gophers that need the change. (Maybe guppies as well but I haven't got to that part of the mine yet.)

TRUEpiiiicness

How does one set robots coming out of a matcen to a specific behaviour?
I'm doing level 20 of The countdown right now and so there are matcens with mine laying gophers, but when they come out they are their default laser firing behaviour.

TRUEpiiiicness

8.8k segments! Holy moly I think that's a new record.

TRUEpiiiicness

@TruePicnicness If it's an ogg file causing the problem it's going to be a completely different problem -- a much simpler one, most likely sample rate. Setting the "project rate" in the bottom left corner of Audacity to 44100 Hz is likely to be all you need to do, and a better solution th...

TRUEpiiiicness

I have found a hacky workaround which is to use a sound editor or similar and increase the speed of the track itself. It only required a 10% increase in speed to sound normal again. (I used audacity and found out it can export as .ogg, so now I can get any music from anywhere as long as audacity can...

TRUEpiiiicness

Did you ever manage to fix this because I now have the exact same problem except it's with an .ogg.

TRUEpiiiicness

There are three invulnerabilities in the level, one in the boss arena, one in the big room after the first blue door under the lava and in the room after the second blue door also under the lava.
