Topic: Crowd-source level building

I got it just have not had time yet to do it.  Does anyone have a sound for this door?

[Shroudeye]

*Cough* Hey, is there anyone here???

[-<WillyP>-]

I have tried everything I can think of, cannot get that door working. I've been kinda busy with some work I picked up. Gotta pay the bills, you know. 

Of course, that does not mean someone else can't pick up the ball.

If you pm me the files, I'm willing to work on it.

If you want the sounds for the door, here they are:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/pothc18grv5ayb2/D1door2sounds.zip

I packed, ripped and isolated them from the D2X-XL hi-res D1 sound pack that you can get here: http://www.descent2.de/files/sound/hires-sounds.7z.

Credit for this hi-res version of the sounds goes to Frustikus, of course.  

NOTE: 'door2o.wav' is the sound of the door when it opens and 'door2c.wav' is the sound of it as it closes.

Here are the files for the door.

I checked the rotational flags for every animated piece on each frame which fixed the animation problem; also, I merged the pipes into the door sections themselves, so there's 6 sub-objects instead of 21 (the Fusion Engine tends to get cranky about displaying objects correctly if you go over 20-ish sub-objects).  Everything *should* be resolved now.  

Thank you for the sounds, Pumo!  ^^;

Just flew thru it, excellent animation work Bablyon, Pumo and WillyP!

And this low limit of sub-objects... I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!

[-<WillyP>-]

yeah, I thought it was much higher, like 40 something.  

Just tried it out, looks good!  The sound is nicely coordinated with the motion. Thanks!

I think next lets work on getting the D1 level converted, and divided into rooms. IIRC someone had already converted the level from d1?

[Shroudeye]

Yea, I had it... here I'm resending it...

Also I'm sending in the original sketch for the "new" reactor room, and marked zones to be "destroyed", made by Schypi...

[Scyphi]

Speaking of which, I need to get back to that sketching...

[Shroudeye]

Speaking of sketches, I've prepared one for our reactor "Mk.Alien", I'll upload it shortly...

EDIT: The sketch is now available, you can view it...

[-<WillyP>-]

Both those drawings are great!  So, we are going to have a reactor room that started out as the standard reactor room, and it is clear been taken over by an organic, alien presence.

No, wait, that isn't quite it, there is a tunnel leading to the alien presence part of the mine. Ok.  So the aliens have been into the mine, and are stealing parts and pieces to build their own reactor, which is semi-organic?  Should there be some recognizable parts of the old reactor missing from the destroyed reactor, to be found later on the alien reactor?

Merc level 4 hive textures?

Merc level 4 hive textures?

That's just what I was thinking.  It's starting to sound like it'll have a bit of that same 'feel' (e.g. start out in familiar-looking structures, then it grows increasingly alien as you move into it).
