Projects & Creative / Campaign Language Lump

« on: December 08, 2023, 02:27:56 PM »

This was originally to come alongside a more elaborate vanilla campaign expansion/tweak project, but a number of people said they would appreciate having it quicker all on it's own, so here it is.

- Most text in the singleplayer campaign is now stored within "LANGUAGE.enu"

(default is "language enu" in the console)

(This feature doesn't exist in Zandronum afaik, and is currently dummied out of ZDoom's source. If that feature returns, they will be integrated proper.)

- Full music credits exist now!

(Only the UNKOWN maps have their boss music mapcards updated, arenas don't have any new functionality to display them.)

I might've left in a few random things from my bigger project (like fixing Roll's Skin Wardrobe getting stuck on the first and last entries with the speed buttons), but there's not major sweeping changes to core components. It's just v6b with a bunch of l:"_" and "$_" under the hood. If you have any questions, or I missed a spot, make a post in this thread or [#modtalk] in MM8BDM Unofficial.

Graphic Alterations/Submissions / [New Sprites Suggestion] Rotund Item Icons

« on: March 14, 2023, 01:29:46 PM »

I've wanted to suggest some new visuals to potentially help newer players remember and recognize their kit easier: making the icons for weapon/item tokens distinct from each other.

All of the items that were previously in a normal box are rotund, similar to the Beat letters of MM5. Most of the original art can be cropped into this new form with little hassle, but not all.

I believe that having items and weps in different "containers," in addition to the more varied artwork ends up making them much more identifiable at a glance than they are currently.

Test it out in-game at your own leisure!

Bugs/Suggestions / Re: Bars and Numbers: a New Default UI?

« on: February 22, 2022, 03:03:51 AM »

*reposting*
The WW bar and Anarchy bar feel kind of "out of style" imo.

Maybe more inspiration can be taken from the original games. I've had this concept for a bar in the back of my head for a bit, inspired by the weapon selection screens of 4/5/6/9/10.

(click to show/hide)

The basic goal is quickly finding the exact capacity of the bar, so I'd think making a size difference between the lower layer (empty) and top layer (full) would be easy to catch in the moment.
The only problem-spot is the prevalence of pitch black walls/ceilings being ultra common, but that could be remedied via making the black of the top layer a dark grey (though I don't know how much of a pain in the ass that would be to code).
