Community Project: Deity Project

HyMyNameIsMatt · May 24, 2011

Well lets see...
This is a community project THAT HAD BETTER WORK! The idea for a project was by Lunarsoul and the idea of the project was from me, "Yay!".
So here is the basic idea:

The video was a mod of the game Minecraft made to play like "Nazi Zombies" from the game Call of Duty. THe idea so far is to make a mod that plays similarly. We are still coming up with the ideas and concepts so as of the moment this thread is for ideas. I'd recomend looking into the game to see how much like Nazi Zombies we can be. Here are some positions that have already been filled:

Maps: Ollie, Safusaka, ...

Sprites: HyMyNameIsMatt, Cripplechair, Safusaka, ...

Music: Ollie, Safusaka, ...

ASM: Lunarsoul, ...

TSC: HyMyNameIsMatt, Lunarsoul, ...

Beta testing: Marx, Tpcool, ...

Story: Marx, ...

List of things that need to be done at the moment:

Tiles for first map. (Done)
Creepy music for first map.
Awesome music for the first map.
More background story detail.
ASM stuff (probably later).
Background for first map.
Map layout.
Weapon ideas (a max of 7 at the moment). (somewhat)
An idea for the method of map selection.
Character Sprites.
Zombified mimigas and other monsters. (Halfway done)

The items listed above will be modified as time goes on.
Alright then, let us discuss.

Also,

I can do TSC fluently. I can also do a little music making.
Oh yes, I'm okay at ASM too.

EDIT: Deity is spelled d-e-i-t-y, just to tell ya.

Cool. I suck at ASM so this is good. Also, Nox said awhile back that he would get involved IF it has a considerable amount of work done on it.

Is this just modesty or is this the truth?

Re: Community Project: Diety Project

GOOD. If I'm the only ASMer, that part will burn to the ground. I'm decent, but not near fluent.
That's not to say I can't do it.

The truth. I haven't had much time to study it, but school will be out for me in two days so I can study it more. All I get now is CALL functions. I plan to help in anyway I can, which means that I need to learn it too. But for now, I will work on graphics.
Also, I believe I have a question. For the maps, do we want to make the first map indoors or out doors or both? If indoors, it will have alot of tiles on the baclground (tile 01) to make it look good. Out doors will probably be a night sky. But this is a collaborative effort, so what were you guys thinking for the first map?

Re: Community Project: Diety Project

You could use bgSky from misery story for an outside map.
As for ASM, an important command is CMP. It compares two values.
It is followed by JE, JGE, JNE, etc. The j-- command is only run if it makes sense (unlike that statement.) For example...

Code:

(ADDRESS 1)   CMP 6,7
(ADDRESS 2)   JE (ADDRESS 1)

This compares 6 and 7. The JE command means "jump to address if A (7) is equal to B (6). Otherwise, JE is skipped.

JE = jump if equal
JGE = jump if greater or equal
JNE = jump if not equal
JG = jump if greater

There's probably others that I can't remember.

Thanks for the info. Alright, I've got one vote for outdoors, considering he mentioned a background with moving clouds it could be somewhere high up. Anyone have any objections/votes?

Re: Community Project: Diety Project

Um, I might have gotten the name wrong, but I meant the starry background in the intro of misery story.
We could use the blood red sky in jenka's nightmare, though.

Oh, let me take a look at those. Most likley we won't use anything premade, but something earily similar to whatever is mentioned.

Feel free to use any resources from my mods for this project.
...Rectangular?

Also, I can PM lessons in ASM for you if you want, matt.

That would be awesome, I didn't quite get some of the basic stuff from the guide. But we all learn things differently.
I looked at the backgrounds too and their pretty decent. I think more details would make it better, or at least not just a recolor.
Still up for ideas on the first map.

I think it should be both indoors and out, and sort of like a cabin, maybe.
With trees in the background, maybe.

It was in response to an earlier post. Evidently I didn't see the second page, and as such there is no more rectangular. The first room should be rectangular.

This sorta isn't my place, but I'd prefer if you were far more solid in your x86 base before you started teaching other people. Matt, there are several good guides on x86 on these forums, including some that are stickied.

Re: Community Project: Diety Project

If were going to include the barrier mechanic (where the zombies will try to break the barrier to get through. It would be better for most levels to be indoors.

Slither · May 24, 2011

Re: Community Project: Diety Project

I do think that more than a recolor would be great for my backgrounds.
As for the ASM lessons, I'll try my best. I'm not world class myself, but I think I'll manage.
@lace, he did say he didn't understand the guide. And I know enough to teach the basics.
Also, OMG JACK IS DEAD!!
