[GAME] Ninslash - v0.5.0 (Page 6 of 13)

looks really cool !

Testing some new stuff:

Walker's style doesn't fit 100%.

Hey!

Is there, by any chance, anyone who would like to help me with graphics? The robot in the gif above would need some restyling (e.g. stronger outlines), and I'd like to have a couple of cyborg / robot skins for AI controlled enemy characters.

I've been planning to include a linear "start from x, go to y" 1-4 players co-op gamemode, that could possibly act as base for story mod of a kind. More difficulty level design with hits & switches, electric walls, traps and multiple ways to die.

Are you interested by an export function in TeeUniverse ? That way, a TeeUniverse package can be transformed into Ninshlash map. Is your map format the same as the vanilla one (just a custom entities.png file) ?

Remember the copyleft, but it's still FOSS

Good job necropotame, keep it up

That's cool!

I'll have a look soon (don't expect too soon). Do you have preferred configs?

DM ai seems to work ok? I should clean up and refactor the ai code, now it's a mess. Btw, the ai has variable m_PowerLevel, and by increasing it the bot reacts faster and gets more accurate.

I changed (or will change) assault rifle to a new much less powerful weapon (basically laser assault rifle), so that might affect gungame too. It's mainly aimed for bots in co-op mode and for turrets (infinite ammo!).

Should I bring back cs mod? Ninslash is based on it, so shouldn't be too hard.

Ninslash.com is momentarily down, but project is alive and kicking.

I added a file to the example configs that can be used to setup gungame.

Yap, the DM AI is totally fine for this gametype! I didn't even look into the actual AI code, it worked as is And I don't think that the bots need to be even harder to beat, so I'm not gonna touch that m_PowerLevel variable

I don't think it would have a too high impact on gungame to change the assault rifle. It could only be a bit earlier in the weapon order if it gets too much weaker (infinite ammo would also favor that) . And for turrets... they don't exist in gungame since it would pretty much abduct the sense of this gametype. I made it so that maps don't need to be changed by just not loading the stands.

Oh that would be cool! I think it'd also fit in the Ninslash gameplay nicely

Nice that you found time to test it
And very glad that you found the exploit with dropping the weapon to get your ammo back, I didn't even consider trying that I'll fix these last thing tomorrow. If you want me to I can also bind it in the game a little better, at the moment it's more like floating on top of it, requiring some little hacks to get stuff done

// Edit: wow cool, I just realized that this post officially is post #100.000 no this forum (officially - according to the counter on the index page). Felt like worth mentioning

Not really in the Teeworlds spirit, but I still really like that GUI.

Updated Android version.

Weapon autoswitching when out of ammo is broken, because the chainsaw is now the weapon with a highest ID, so it's considered the most powerful and is getting selected first, also the first weapon should be selected when you only have the sword.

I think I'll fix that, add buttons for building turrents, laying mines, and dropping weapons, and finally publish it (I mean, out of beta).

There are still no ninjas in the game. Maybe we could add some ninja badguys, like those spiky monsters, spawning randomly and slashing left and right, with very low health?

Siile, I think that this new laser rifle weapon is overpowered - it has limitless ammo, and it has almost the same range as a sniper rifle, which means you can spam it from a safe distance and run away at any sight of a danger, even though it's not that much powerful. It also allows to build a turret with a limitless ammo.
Did you copypaste the robot rifle by mistake?
Another reason is my out-of-ammo weapon switching code gets confused by a limitless ammo

Robots are awesome, but they are available only on dm1 and testdm1 maps, and they do not respawn once killed. I wish you could enable robots everywhere via an option, and spawn your own robot using 3 construction boxes.

Laser rifle and sniper rifle look similar, I'd like to suggest to take sniper rifle GFX from here, but the color theme is different.

Edit: I've copied the sniper rifle from MadPezkoh's game skin, after performing some color-correction. What do you think?

Edit2: I've finally published Android app to production. Let's start collecting some 1-star reviews!
