Yeah, as the others have said, there's not a whole lot you can do with the Dark Forces stuff. The 10 weapons are fixed in function: not a single attribute about them can be changed.

Nor can you ch ...

Hey people, I'm still here too! ...Oh, wait, I'm too late to jump on the bandwagon again, aren't I?

That would actually be an interesting gimmick. I don't recall seeing this used as a mechanic before... In fact, I don't recall this ever even being DISCOVERED by and large until it was noted that this ...

I know I'll have to get it myself.

Also, since I'm looking at a crappy LCD panel with glare and it's not the best image for an example, MZZT, do you mean it "re-sizes" or "re-samples ...

I believe there's a wall height limit of around 200-300 DF units. Beyond that, you'll get the problem that it will HOM when looking at most elevations.

Ah, so it's just something with WDFUSE itself? I thought that there might've been an option I was missing, since I recalled always having them floating on-top before. Kinda strange as well, since I'm ...

So, for like the first time in a number of years, I've opened up WDFUSE, after getting a sudden burst of inspiration and desire to go back and actually make a version of the level for my project I WOU ...

Funny how, with group editing projects, one person's absence can grind everything to a halt for months. I've never seen anything like that before, newp. Confused

I didn't realize Weegee could be killed, either. I guess I'll go back and look at his .COG file, and see how much health he actually has.

As I recall, Max lacks a health value, and hence, is invinc ...

You would want to create new textures from scratch, because a filter really can't add detail to an existing texture. All you can do is add some effects that make USE of the higher resolution (like noi ...

Ah, yes, that. Vista can screw up almost anything if given the chance. Laughing

One of my favorite engine replacements on that Wiki page is OpenTTD, having played Transport Tycoon for lengthy periods of time.

Wow, it's a little exciting to see how far along this is getting.like on the DaggerXL blog

No, it'd just require a LOT of careful video editing. So it could be done!

1280x1024, on an somewhat-new 17" CRT. Yes, it's not the right perspective, but for some reason, my card doesn't like 1280x960. So I proportion the screen to get CLOSE to the correct stretching r ...

What "newer 3D cards?" TBH, I never had issues running Jedi Knight with even my X800XT, though that's positively outdated by now.

All told, this is rather nice to see. This is actually, p ...

The only way to go to the dark side, as I recall, is to outright kill CIVILIANS, and put points into dark side powers. (erstwhile, the only way to really get into the light side is to put points only ...

Yeah, the OP map is already quite sizable; easily larger than most levels. While it's true that there's a lot of places that seem "dead ends," that's really how levels work; it's been shown ...

Wow, that's what I get for going on hiatus. Congrats, I suppose. Razz

I stayed up to around 6 in the morning. Then I napped for a bit, woke up at like 9, then after another couple hours and a shower napped again.

I missed out on the party as I was busy for a few days. Still getting used to being a college student and all at that point... Razz

As for the image-flipping, yes, it technically uses a bit more CPU ...

Eh, I think that there'd been little done when I got it, and I'd already added the main section I kept working on, which I think was off of the north end of the main tram hub. I.e, it was intended to ...

Sorry guys... To say the least, I kinda failed at that. Not long after that, I had a heck of a lot of real-life stuff on my plate, lots of problems, then I had to move, etc. etc... In short, that comp ...

Fish lives! Shocked

But yeah, cool to see some more updates... Goodness knows the game needs more of 'em. And while we've seen a good variety of worlds visited in Dark Forces, we've yet to see a v ...
