THE MUTANT UPRISING

First topic message reminder :

this is going to be my next addon. you will play as a captured american solider that has been used for experiments and has been turned into a mutant. but they forgot to wipe out his memory all the way and the mutant remembers who he is and what he has to do. so you get to try and get out of the place. if anyone wants to do coding you can do that now while the final fight is getting done. and whoever can delete threads can you delete the I have a new addon Idea thread?

I'm glad you like the sprites

Remember, if you have any ideas for mutants, just PM me and I'll try them out, because my idea well is really running dry.

Here are some guards that may be in the game. The mass of the variety there wont be used, its just to we can find out what color/head we should use for the guards. Any opinion would be appreciated.

SS - DARK GREEN
PISTOL GUARD - GREY
OFFICER - BLUE
FLAMETHROER GUARD - TEAL
MUTANTS - DARK YELLOW

well the yellow color for the mutants would be cool but what do you guys think?

I have an idea for the mutants in the game:
there can be 2 different types of mutants. the regular old mutants that we all know and love and a new breed that shows up as you get farther on in the addon and then towards the end is the only mutant that you see. the new mutant could have more health and be more accuracte and faster.
what do you guys think?

As requested by James, here are 2 test Title Screens. Any feedback will be appreciated

here's the 1st:


and the 2nd:


I really hope you'll like those

@WLHack: Thanks for the compliment

Here's a little something that I whipped up out of boredom:

good looking. itsn't that the picture from Spear of Destiny ending? Anyways, just out of curiousity why does he have 4 hands?

He has 4 hands being a mutant created by Schabbs

I took the Ubermutant from the credits of Spear of Destiny, cut him out (which was pretty annoying,) uploaded him onto game maker and turned him grey, then on paint I made the text that I wanted, uploaded it onto game maker and made 3 different levels of it being blurred, and then finally just copied them over eachother on paint. No photoshop used what so ever.

:Ha:Heh, that's smart
I never even had GameMaker in mind especially as a BMP editor..

Because Dark_wizzie thats The Ubermutant from Spear of Destiny.It is suposed to have 4 hands.

Oh, right! I can't belive I havn't figured that out. I feel kind of stupid for not being able to :\ But hey, yuor avatar kind of tells all about the picture

Man LIL, ur really active in this project. Im working on one. but I can't use any custom textures or sprites since I can't make them, even if I could. Chaosedit won't let me use them

you will be able to use custom textures and sprites once the graphics files are made. yea I know I'm active in this mod but I am the leader of Team Aardwolf you know. any more updates guys?

well, I hate saying this, but Solo mapping is boring. I made 2 maps, but no one to help me with.

if you guys think that there should be any changes please say so.

also I'd like everyone on Team Aardwolf to welcome Dean to the team. he will be a mapper and he will be a beta tester. also richter and eric will be joining the team as just BETA TESTERS.

Glad to be part of the team

if you know nothing about The Mutant Uprising I suggest reading this whole thread.

Well, this becomes some heavy project, at least as in team members cast. Very impressive.
Can you list the planned coding changes? Is it "simple" wolf3d-style mod or a mod with more advanced coding engine?

Anyway it seems to be a mod where I could practice a lot of graphic ideas as long as coding features will allow mutants to get off/out off/from med-beds and other scenery items...something like in Blake Stone.
Even if this feature is not implemented I might love to create some scenery items and textures, especially in lab/med/mutant theme. But I don't want to be a part of the project team, just external contributor depending on his free time and mood. Unless you don't want me to contribute at all, which is fine with me as well.

you can do whatever is needed. I will post the coding list from the old forum. there are a lot of code changes included alarm lights that toni was working on before going to the army. alarm lights are what the name sounds like. you go under some lights and bam guards will come out of nowhere.

here are the ideas we've had for a while:
200% ammo
110% health
Teleporters
Directional sprites
Pushable objects
Breakable objects
Bestweapon tutorial
Ambient sounds
Wall patches
Enemies pick up bonus items
Level name when start up game
In-game messages
Adding shadows to characters (when in-game messages are enabled)
Split Hitler into two bosses
Animated objects
Animated walls
Interactive objects
Pushwalls activated by switches
Locked doors locked by switches
Civilians
Gun bobbing
Blood splatters
Automap
Add Text Messages to Menu Select Screens
Spawnpoints (for enemies, walls, objects etc.)
New weapons
Level ending object
Ammo walls
Health walls
Weapon change bob
Reloading weapons
Different ammo types
Flame walls
defusable bombs
Add 25 ammo box
Intermission screens
Backpack
Landmines
Doors open from center (Blake Stone style doors)
Bosses react to sounds
Crosshair
Death artifact
Timed bonus artifacts
Bonus time display
Floor that hurts player
Enemy uniform/invisibility
Doors don't close automatically
Enemies open up pushwalls
Treasure chest
Fullscreen
Adding non-grid collision detection to pushwalls
Remove par-times
Transparent ceilings
Portable items (medkits etc.)
Different door sides
One stab in the back kills
Alternative paths
Animated floors/ceilings
Armour
Another start position (when you die in-game, you start from another position)
Berserk mode
Suicide bombers
Make guard spawn other guards
More difficulty levels (for challenges or just to make it even more difficult!)
Timed levels



here are the coding features:
-Removing the scalers (for more memory)
-Seamless level progression
-Multi-textured floors/ceilings
-Outside atmosphere
-Parallax sky
-Readme/Helpart enabled
-Pushwalls move 8 spaces and move faster
-Shading
-64+ walls (now you can use 90 walls)
-Deathcam removed
-Switch Activated Pushwalls
-Civilians (Don't kill them, or you'll die)(Dogs are Civilians now)
-Teleporters
-Display Map Name On Get Psyched Screen
-Enemies Pick Up Bonus Items
-automap(toni should have fixed some stuff with this feature)
-alarm lights

Sounds cool

What is the texturing progress? What types of floor textures you still need to do?
...........

-Outside atmosphere

Cool You mean Rain/Snow/Fog?
..........

-Parallax sky

Hey, I'm good with those. A can easily make one for you. What type of sky do you need?
.........

Civilians (Don't kill them, or you'll die)(Dogs are Civilians now)

Again is very unethical. You can kill humans but not dogs? Weird.

I don't think we had gotten all of the walls done yet. I was wanting to have a ton of walls done before making the floors and ceilings, but you can make floors and ceilings if you'd like. I don't care what they look like as long as you think that's what would be in an underground nazi lab. probably going to need a night parallax sky.

Night? can you be more detailed? I don't think you mean the usual starry sky.......

I don't know what the night sky should look like. I say make a few different ones and we can choose from them. I want something that makes you feel kinda sorry for the guards that have to stay outside all of the time.

are there any more updates for the mod? I've kind of forgotten about the mod and would like to start getting back to work on it.

I would be getting more stuff done on the graphics but I've been in and out of terrible illnesses and I've been having big tests at school, and in a couple of weeks I'm going to be having surgery on my face that's going to have me gone another 2 weeks, so hopefully I can get something done before those 2 weeks.

I'll see if I can do some more stuff as well.

Reloading eh........I can help with that as u can see from The Lost World Parts 1,2,6,7, and 8.

nobody can help with the coding Richter. I'm sorry if I sound rude, but the code is currently with WLhack and he's wanting to work on TMU the most after he's out of the army.

Hey, the last message for this is at july! Any new news?

Dark_wizzie wrote:Hey, the last message for this is at july! Any new news?

there really isn't any news as the coding wasn't even finished at the point that Toni left for the army. when he gets back TMU will be back in full swing. we are thinking of having a Dos version and an SDL version.

Now that all you can do is wait for the coding, why not get started on Final fight 2? =F

we have been working on FF2, but I wanna get back to work on this mod and sadly it seems like most of the team is gone.

Well, too bad...it's a promicing project. Not to mention I did some art for it hoping it'll get used

yea, the sad thing is that I told john and toni to work on the graphics file by themselves so I don't have any graphics file for the mod.

Well, beyond art that was posted in this thread, that is...

I could give it art assistance, but without good mappers and coders....this project will be ...in trouble.

this project is in trouble. now if only toni was around.
