Progress

More co-op maps besides the CQ3 ones sounds like a good idea; teamwork is always fun.

[75]

The reason why there hasn't been many updates is because I'm messing with more advanced engines. I've been having a hard time mapping my ideas in the doom engine, so I'm starting to look into the Unreal 3 engine and the source engine.

[QuadrumpusGuy]

The project is still on though, right?

CQ for the Unreal Engine would be awesome

[75]

yeah, but I won't be doing much mapping or drawing for it. I'll probably use 3d models for enemies if I make something that looks good. I'm also working on music with FL studio... I've got a long way to go on that one, but I think I can figure it out with some practice.

My first goal on these newer engines is to take what's great about the skulltag engine (fast motion, pretty maps, bright/sci-fi textures) and make it work on something new.

I would like to make a chex quest multiplayer mod on the unreal 3 or source engine. I'd also like to make Blake Stone on a newer engine.

After that... profit! Once I get the hang of making multiplayer mods, I'll make something I can sell.

I thought of making a chexter model, but that might be too complicated for me... let's see what I can do

[noob1234]

chukker had a chexter model... but he didnt release it

[75]

yeah, I've seen that, it looks good,

I'd like to try to make my own, just for fun.

Okay, i was recently struck with a great idea. We could have a room in the lounge where you can select a map, and then play it (change the map to it), then come back to the lounge. The coming back part would require a certain scripting set in each level, so, if i'm going to do this, I would like your permission 75, as well as a good idea of how to do this (like, you put it in, or i put it in, etc.).

A HUB world you mean? Maybe have portals that trigger a script that uses a console command for callvote changemap?

[MajorSlime]

I would have screens of every level, converted to textures, and a "screen" in the room. Arrow shaped buttons would change the game type (set of maps) and which map, and the "screen" would then display a texture of that map. Another button would change the map to that map. We could call for a vote, but my idea used a teleport type of script.

sorry, this won't work. HUBs don't work in multiplayer. If somebody walks in the door, everyone has to go to that map as well... it's a lot safer to leave map changing to the host, or just use teleports to an arena within the same map.

[MajorSlime]

well, we could make it call for a vote

[75]

calling a vote can already be done by any user, if the server allows it.

Also -  I'm pretty sure there's no ACS function to call a vote, the skulltag section of the zdoom wiki doesn't mention it, and I've never heard of one being used.

It might be beyond what ACS can do. Voting can do a lot of stuff, and most of it affects the server, I'm pretty sure ACS can't handle that.

[QuadrumpusGuy]

There is a acs command that allows console commands to be declared.

[MajorSlime]

I can do it all from scratch via ACS; including voting, so the change won't happen unless a lot of people agre. So, can I do it?

[75]

why not just use the skulltag commands to vote to change map?
