MM8BDM V3b Released!

[Korby]

Actually, the supports thing was a deliberate decision by the devteam. While I don't remember all the reasons, it was rather annoying when Rush and Eddie spawned above you and you couldn't use them, and it was possibly more annoying to enemies when Treble or Tango appeared out of nowhere and wrecked them.

[Knux]

So that's what it was? Oh, come ON. I made a nice little trick for such a thing, but when v3b came out, it broke.

I'll PM you with the details, Korby.

Of course telephoning actors go through 3d floors.  (Granted that was a massive pain due to engine bugs...unintended engine features) Ya don't exactly want to put eddie or rushjet into your opponents lap.  Not to mention it's not always obvious you're below a 3d floor (new gemini man for example)

Is it just me or was the map for Toad Man's stage rotated 180 degrees?

Also, how was the mirror in Roll's room fixed? Was it switching to a different Node builder, or was the map converted to UDMF format (unlikely)?

[Ivory]

It was actually the activation linedefs that were the problem. I revamped the mechanics behind Roll's Wardrobe to help fix the problem. But no, neither Node Builders no UDMF would fix it.

I suddenly got the idea to make it so that players emit air bubbles while they're underwater (thanks to the IsUnderwater flag item), except I can't visualise on how to make the bubble despawn when it reaches the non-solid 3D floor water surface.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Can you give the same underwater flag to the bubbles themselves?

[-FiniteZero-]

Well, in MM2, the bubbles don't go away when they hit air.

[Messatsu]

As water physics are currently implemented in game, bubbles that disappear when they hit air won't work.  It probably could be possible with some clever coding, but it'd likely be more of a hack.  Never say never of course, but it's not as straightforward as it might seem.

SERIOUSLY. WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE. HOW AND WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING BACK.

[Beed28]

I just click the report button on them.

Also, you might want to edit out that quote (especially the hyperlinks).

I'll just close this thread to prevent any further bumps from spambots.
