I noticed that, by tweaking the 'fps' value in .md5anims, the speed of said animation can be adjusted, which is especially great for monsters, since they can be made to walk or attack faster (or slower) that way.

But I can't help but think this isn't the 'proper' way to do it. Quake 4, for example, introduced a 'rate' animation command that can be adjusted, which seems better to me than adjusting the actual .md5anims.

Actually I'd prefer to do this through scripting for a number of reasons

Is this possible?

Instead of linear progression through a series of maps, I'm interested in having the player explore a single, large map, with some required backtracking, akin to a Metroidvania game.

Doom 3 maps can be absolutely humongous, large enough to contain a whole game in, so why even bother splitting the campaign up into separate maps? Considering generous use of visportals and keeping active monster count under control, are there any hard limits I'm eventually going to run into, or is this a bad idea for other reasons altogether?

I think this one should be possible...

My plasmagun's projectiles has lights attached to them, so that they light up the place whenever you fire it.
This looks great, but it becomes problematic with a high enough rate of fire, especially if the projectiles bounce around and there are a lot of surfaces to bounce the light off of, and objects to cast shadows from.

I do not want to gimp the firerate to keep the framerate under control either.
Is it possible to keep the light but not the shadow casting?

Hi,

I've been making extensive changes all over the place and I've got many things close to where I want them, but I have neglected this issue that cropped up, and I'm not sure where to start looking :/

In 3rd person view, the upper body of my character is stuck in 'idle fists position'. Changing weapons does not animate, the weapon model just pops up instantly.

Holding the shotgun looks like this:



Firing doesn't animate either.

The legs work fine, though.

Any idea what could cause this? How are the animations usually triggered?

Supremacy 3 is a standalone work-in-progress first-person shooter game about an epic multiverse war between Hell, the Strogg, the Sphere - and what's left of humanity, with you leading the desperate struggle for interdimensional supremacy - the only alternative to extinction.

Fortunately, you're skilled at making things extinct yourself.

Despite being massively outnumbered by apocalyptic forces who accept nothing less than total eradication of any living memory (or record) of mankind...

there's still a fighting chance.

Introduction

UAC scientists discovered what was coined as the Exploit - a peculiar quirk in the fabric of timespace that allowed for cheap and reliable instant spacetime travel.
Traditional rocket propulsion technology was made obsolete in an instant and colonizing inhabitable planets became a realistic prospect.

They had no way of knowing that other intelligent entities had discovered it for ages.
Neither did they know that it made our beacons a blip on their radar - and a set of coordinates.

Entirely taken by surprise, mankind doesn't get to make much of a last stand. Overrun by armies of nightmarish creatures who took their perpetual war with them to fight on our battlegrounds - with our planet as the spoils - there's no way for us to wage war back anymore.

So there was a silver lining to being stripped of your identity and dumped in a secret prison facility. If you had been anywhere else, you would most likely be dead.
Having served as an involuntary Exploit test subject in the finetuning phase left you with several unique symptoms which might prove to be decisive in humanity's fate.

Hi there,

Been a while since I've posted here.

Is it possible to set up a central hub map, and allow seamless transitions between maps?
I'm working on what I hope will eventually become a full-fledged Metroidvania-style game.
