Released - Test Scene Reloaded
So in anticipation of hitting the road and leaving the active modding scene for the time being, I ended up deciding to release a level I've had sitting around for a while (rather than cook up something quickly amidst all the other preparations going on). TstScnRld was started in 2014 and is full of tiny setups, similar to JPDS~testing. There are about 3 routes in total; do note that the level is not quite in a finished state (though a test level as such doesn't quite reach such a thing...) but offers a nice thing or two. As a small note... the hodge-podge white truck you will find up high is an experimental time machine I started over the winter.
Have fun and keep modding!

Re: Released - Test Scene Reloaded
machf, I can't help but notice your habit of commenting on these releases BEFORE playing and then saying nothing. 
Let me know what you think of the level's contents...

Re: Released - Test Scene Reloaded
So far, I've only taken a look at it with TresEd. I'm going to sleep now. Tomorrow I'll give it a go.
From what I've seen, it seems more like a level with some sort of storyline, rather than just an updated version of the TestScene...

Re: Released - Test Scene Reloaded
Those are more like partly-finished explorable "zones" within the level, really.

Re: Released - Test Scene Reloaded
Well, I tried it today... (in fact, I gave it a quick try last night after replying, but then went to bed)
I must say I'd have done some things differently, like

Re: Released - Test Scene Reloaded
I never did get around to a manual damage trigger. Might release an upgraded version of the level one day. At any rate it's clear that particular dev-planned event is not simple to set up.
Mmm what would the purpose be of an obj rolling down the monorail tracks? Not sure the particular featured configuration would quite support that..

You only need a physics box with a Damage value... why a trigger?Draconisaurus wrote:I never did get around to a manual damage trigger. Might release an upgraded version of the level one day. At any rate it's clear that particular dev-planned event is not simple to set up.

Re: Released - Test Scene Reloaded
Well then... Could have sworn I put damage on there. May have in a lost version. At any rate I will try some things out next release...

Re: Released - Test Scene Reloaded
Latest test in TstScnRld... Apparently this is how the AlphaChannels look. Left to right, bottom is 0 to 9, top is 10 to 19. Yes, 19... 0 seems to be a thick opacity. 1 through 3 is a sequence of higher to lower opacity, the exact sequence/opacity being repeated 4 times until 13-15 which are all identically-opaque (50%?) and colored yellow for reasons unknown. The rest are totally invisible; assuming all higher numbers are as well.
