Hellgate remix (0.9.9.3)
« on: May 02, 2011, 07:08 »

I present to you: Hellgate remix.

I recommend that you try to play the mod at least once before looking at the source :)

This was mostly a fun test of custom AI scripts. So, observe the cool things you can do.  They're not entirely polished because the API isn't there yet (as far as I know), and they're not entirely robust because I'm lazy, but I thought it was pretty cool anyway.

Edit:

For those of you interested in making custom AIs, one issue I didn't address is that you have to be very careful of self-deaths: if you being dies while in it's AI script, then further reference to self are probably bad. This was happening to me earlier, but it doesn't often happen in the current version.

This is extremely cool. I'd like to see an attachable sandbox module of this for use in other projects.

How do I install this? I've poked around, but I can't seem to find clearly-marked and simple instructions for How To Make DoomRL Use Some Other .lua File For Its Gamey Things.

Move the lua file into the sandbox folder, and then "doomrl.exe -sandbox sandbox\hellgate.lua" w/o quotes in cmd. EZPZ.

Thanks.

Tee hee, this was pretty amusing. I only eventually won with wall trickery and endless splash cheesing. I'm glad bruisers don't know how to do this.

Bruisers don't even know how to not dissolve their own faces if their target is two steps away :D

I'm glad you guys are enjoying this!  But it's just a monkey trick.  It sounds like some of you haven't checked out some of the other awesome mods that are posted here: Yaf's Skulltag Arena, Simon-v's MetalGear RL, You's Invasion, and Gargulec's Restless (am I missing any?).

You'll need an older version of doomrl to run them.  0.9.9.2 is still up on the download page and 0.9.9.1 is hiding here.

I've tried Skulltag... still have it in a seperate dedicated folder, in fact.

The rest, I haven't, though I might.

Sometime in the future, when modding is easier and I have the time and wherewithal to learn lua, I want to make a conversion mod for DoomRL that's basically Heretic. :3c God knows how much work that'd be, though...

Sounds like we are emulating what was done before.

(Heretic was a total conversion of the Doom engine in real life.)

I computed, therefore I was.

That actually hadn't occurred to me.

Fund it!

a. I might, if I had money.
b. This is kinda almost something I want to try and do myself. I've got ideas for it and all, but I'm at the preliminary preliminary stages of its development, so...
