Jammed, 
, you're back, you must see the XCMD.
ADDITION:
time for an update!
currently working on the MUCH improved XCMD.
it has a console(starport), where each of the five units and the unlift command serve as buttons.
it utilizes a three-tier classification style.
1: selecting a user
2: selecting a type of media(audio, text, video)
3: and finally selecting the message you want to play
i'm definitely not going to include sounds in the initial release. if i feel like it, i'll put it in later.
ADDITION:
i'm about 154 triggers from releasing a beta. after a few days, if everything works out fine, i'll release v 0.7(no video or sound), when i find some more time, i'll release the 0.8(with video, no sound). down the road, i'll release the full version with sounds if i feel like it.

Looks like the map is coming along good. If you want to hire me as a terrainer, I might help, just PM me what you need, ill do it for 100 sen minerals. I've been taught by woodenfire so i aint half bad although, im not woodenfire himself. (For Sure)
Just PM me if you're interested. List some things you might need too.

well... its been a few days... and the XCMD hasn't worked out too well 
. so don't expect it for awhile 
, although progress is being made .
in other news:
Element-Nature has been added as a tester and will likely be the hell level(ash world) terrain.
in addition, the download count for the fractional reducer doubled while SEN was down
ADDITION:
just completed the xcmd - yay!
- have to do some preliminary testing(about two days worth) and then i'll give it to the testers. after that, i'll polish the map up and put it in the thread.
ADDITION:
okay, bad news i've discovered a major logic error(stupid me 
) in the system. while it is possible to fix it, it'd be a hell of a lot quicker to just remake the whole map - which is exactly what i'm gonna go. however, i'll be able to 'clean up' some of my triggers in the process and the production will be alot quicker this time around, so it won't be a total waste of time.

You're welcome for my discovering those bugs. I'm glad I can be such an inept idiot
. Also, for closing the console, you should have it so you just lift the starport and it removes (or shoots down 
) the one in the air, and creates another. It'd make it more idiot-proof.QUOTE(Zeratul_101 @ Oct 19 2006, 12:04 AM)

okay, made some revisions to the OP. Some parts are still 'under construction' and they will be until the FRAGS project is completed. also, i've decided to, when attachments come back, to begin releasing commented versions of the test maps. Originally, i was planning to do this, but not until Doom 3 was released, however, due to even more delays, this would make an insanely long time even longer.
oh, just wait till you see the new VCS engine. it'll be VERY customizable. By modifying one trigger, you can independently customize the HP, armor, and include special damage modifiers for 21 unit types*. Also, you can set total carryable ammo, cartridge ammo, and ammo reloading style for 3 different weapons.
*a type of unit differs from other units because it is a different unit or the owner is different.
This particular trigger system will take quite a bit of time due to the sheer volume of triggers. but it will kickass. unfortunately, i can expect huge amounts of lag so i likely won't use this 'engine' form of the system for doom 3.
also, since i can't include very small details, like writing on the wall. do you think that placing observers where these details would go would be an appropiate substitution? when you got close to these and performed an action, you'd get a text message of what you'd see in the game.

Pick some sprite/doodad and use it instead of an observer. Observers don't stand out that much.

well, i don't want it to stick out that much. for instance, they have a sticky note on the side of a cabinet. while its not invisible, its not super apprent either.

True. Thats a good point. And also you can remove observers, not sprites.

okay here are 'moddable' aspects of the VCS engine:
HP
armor
attack damage
attack bonuses
weapon range
rate-of-fire
burst amount(how many bullets are used in one burst, like for machine guns)
reloading style
carryable armed ammo(ammo in your gun)
carryable reserve ammo(ammo for reloading)
anymore ideas?

Randomize the possible points that take damage, like the head, chest, legs.
Chest - 70%
Head - 15%
Legs - 15%

maybe, i've been wanting to save percentage-related functions until i found a good decimal system - which i think i've decided almost upon.
also, i've decided to take out the attack radius, it's gonna be just a little too easy to bug up.

ps, lethal, we need to talk. i want your opinions on something.

how the hell did you post so fast...
anyhow i was talking about computer enemy AI. cause certain enemies exhibit certain behaviors.
eg
trites(which are bascially spiders) tend to jump laterally ifyou're aiming the cursor at them.
and Z-Secs(zombie marines) like to hide behind cover and only tend to advance if they don't see you for awhile, like if you were hiding behind the corner.
basiclly, i was wondering what experiences other people have had and if anyone know any tips or tricks.
