The AC isn't going away, but the Spreadfire is being added for the next release. We also want to do a chargeable fusion cannon, but none of it is ready yet. The crash damage is controllable by console vars; try playing around with them and post what values you think are appropriate. Note that you ...

Iceheart is hard at work on a variety of model updates, including pieces for forming our \"destroyed Pyro\" to be a part of the player death animation in IC 004. I've added a few sample renders to the Moddb Gallery , take a look: http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/mods/1/7/6094/crop_120x90/badnews ...

Unfortunately, simply not possible. The demo is not moddable, is not the same Doom 3 engine version, and would probably be missing textures. If the $20 for Doom 3 (possibly even less, used) is still a tough decision, try asking around, or watching our YouTube videos, or getting a buddy to loan you ...

HeXetic

I'll ask iceheart to answer these, since I haven't touched the maps much myself, but I think Minerva was done in GTKRadiant while Tumbler was done in the built-in editor. As for sizes, I know we have the Pyro's bounding box posted somewhere, but I can't seem to locate it at the moment. I can only ...

You mean UbiSoft? I don't work there. Perhaps you have me confused with someone else.

My apologies for the downtime over at Into Cerberon; our webhost unceremoniously terminated our hosting agreement, claiming excessive CPU usage without bothering to give me any logs. I have to assume that either they're full of weapons-grade baloneyum, or that we were being flooded. Regardless, I've ...

http://www.chmodoplusr.com/IntoCerberon/Local/Images/logo_conceptart.jpg A cornucopia of updates from the Into Cerberon team this weekend. First and foremost, we have a new team member on board. Jon \"Verran\" Vukovich will be contributing music tracks to IC, providing a soundtrack for maps ic_mine ...

Into Cerebron is great but I mean a continuation of the storyline, besides the gameplay aspect. Everyone on the IC team would love to do a single-player campaign, but something like that is pretty much a pipe-dream without a large, focused, and dedicated team. We're just 6 or so guys with day jobs ...

HeXetic

Thanks, both of these items have helped.

Over at the Into Cerberon mod for Doom 3 , our newest team member, Mandinga, has undertaken the task of creating a second playable ship in the mod. In particular, he wants to re-model the \"Black Pyro\" that was featured in Descent 3: Mercenaries . Unfortunately, starting points are a little limited ...

IC has included Linux (and Mac) binaries and although we haven't explicitly tested them, I haven't heard any complaints so I have to assume they work (building the Linux .so is really not all that complicated).

HeXetic

Incidentally, I don't think avatar upload is working either. I went to update mine a couple of days ago and now I don't seem to have anything at all. Perhaps the permissions on the upload folder are messed up?

Doom 3 brand new should be about $20 or so, even on Amazon it's pretty cheap compared to a new game. Used, you might pay even less. The following weapons are in IC003A: - Lasers (not upgradeable/quaddable yet) - Minigun - IC Autocannon (different from Descent AC) - Plasma cannon - Concussion ...

HeXetic

Announcing the release of Into Cerberon version 003a, codenamed \"Quartzon\", a minor update to our previous 003 release. IC003a brings the following enhancements: Updated codebase to Doom 3 patch 1.3.1 . Now users of all four Doom 3 supported OS/architectures can play together: Windows x86, Linux ...

As with all id Software games, FOV is adjustable by the player using a console cvar; in the case of Doom 3, it's g_fov. You can set it to anything from a tunnel-vision 1 to an aliens-vision 360. We will not be changing the default value, but players can set their own; indeed, for users with ...

(Cross-posted from the IC website ) I've gone and uploaded about a billion pics (okay, 26) that Narfig took this past week while hosting the \"official\" IC multiplayer server; for those of you who haven't yet tried out IC 003, I hope they'll convince you that we're doing some fine work here. Here ...

HeXetic

Actually I picture it as more of a \"gun that is too big for you\" type of weapon. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! goes one clip out the business end, but meanwhile your ship is flying backwards at a weird angle, the impact of the recoil overloading the gyros and the engines. Imagine a Bradley machine ...

HeXetic

The reason it isn't in the dictionary is because it's spelled \"merely\".

HeXetic

Yeah, I apologize for the turning controls right now. They're heavily tied in to framerate, unfortunately, and that's why it's so uneven. If you crank down graphics detail a bit it should improve slightly. As for the feeling of \"dragging\" the ship, don't worry: Narfig has already been bitterly ...

When it comes to Global Thermonuclear War, the only winning move... is not to play.

HeXetic

Barring global thermonuclear war (shall we play a game?), IC 003 should be available tomorrow night after the team conducts a brief sanity-check playtest around noon (EST).

* Further musical irony update: As I was pasting in the IC newspost here, iTunes decided to play Robot Jungle from the Descent II soundtrack.

(Cross-posted from the IC Website ) Give a warm welcome to vertigo-one , who's now received an \"official comission\" on the IC team for his work in re-creating the (beloved? hated?) Minerva for IC 003. I'll admit I had some doubts about whether he'd be able to pull it off, as by his own admission ...

As a result of the downtime and a general lack of support, I've switched hosting providers for chmodoplusr.com. The IC website is up and running on the new host, with full capabilities, and you should have no problems accessing the site once your local DNS server updates its records. Anyone ...

Stateful graphical shield HUD is in, too:

HeXetic

You were running the server, so my sv_ic_hexeticcantlose cvar didn't work.

That's why I used r_narfigsshipglowspink and r_hexeticsshipisinvisible. Not as effective, but they work.

HeXetic

(Cross-posted from IC ) We're getting closer to IC 003... I fixed one of the \"big\" remaining code bugs earlier this week, and we had a little playtest today in which I demonstrated that a little sneakiness and some good aim is more than enough to beat LPB server host Narfig. I also snapped some ...

As it's turned out, right now it's more like an automatic burst-firing shotgun. Rather like the MechWarrior AutoCannon. But either way, since it's a mod, if something turns out to be Teh Suck, then we can change it quickly, especially purely value-based things like damage, kickback, firing speed ...

HeXetic

Joystick support isn't available in Doom 3, but it might be possible to hack it in with DirectX or SDI; I've sort of partially looked into it, but since no-one actually on the team is adamant about integrating it, it's sort of on the back burner. I think what might happen is that we might eventually ...

HeXetic

Well, sure... but we have another surprise in store. Ask yourself this: when playing Descent, do you find yourself tri-chording along walls?

If so, you may be in for a nasty surprise in IC.

LDAsh pointed out to me that this month's issue of Australian PC gaming mag \"PC PowerPlay\" includes Into Cerberon 001 on the cover disc - and features a screenshot from our mod on the DVD slipcase! http://www.chmodoplusr.com/IntoCerberon/Local/Images/pcpp-cover_s.jpg http://www.chmodoplusr.com ...

HeXetic

That's the idea, glad you like it. Oh, and while I'm here, allow me to gratutiously name-drop a feature I know you'll all like: IC 003 will have the tri-chord speed boost , controlled by a server-side parameter, and enabled by default . I put it into our internal build just after IC 002 went out the ...

HeXetic

I guess the way that it'd work is that you'd change the textures so that instead of casting light (or as much light), they had a strong glowmap instead. This gives the area an \"eerie\" effect when players can see, for example, the alien LCD screen flashing gobbledygook on the wall on the far side ...

HeXetic

You're actually pointing out two different effects, but I think you're trying to describe what's called bloom . That's when bright surfaces \"leak\" or \"spill\" light, creating a pseudo-rendering of what it feels like to look at something bright - it obscures the dark things. The blue glow around ...

HeXetic

Doom 3 / Quake 4 calls these texture layers glow maps, because that's what they do: glow in the dark. In this pic: http://pnmedia.gamespy.com/planetcnc.gamespy.com/staff/hexetic/Quake4/shot00010.jpg Observe how you can see the red and yellow \"lights\" on the spider cyborg thing, even though the ...

Narfig's working on it. I'm \"shooting\" (ha ha ha HA HA HA HA) for something like Halo's sniper rifle, but we'll see what audio concoction he whips up for us.

HeXetic

Work on IC 003 is proceeding apace, and I thought I'd give a little status update for those who aren't following our progress on the IC Forums . I'm working on customizing the main menu so that you won't have to use the console to bind your roll keys (among others) and so that you'll know which ...

http://moddb.com/images/cache/mods/60/6094/gallery/thumb_42894.jpg The Into Cerberon team is pleased to announce the release of version 0.0.2 of Into Cerberon , codenamed \"Copper\". This release ups the ante on 0.0.1 by including a brand-new map (Spectre's \"ic_mine\"), a functional HUD, new sound ...

HeXetic

Generally speaking you don't feature-patch 2-year old FPS games unless they're still selling like hotcakes (Half-Life, Quake 2).

Technically, id Software did add joystick support to the Doom 3 engine: the Quake IV engine is built off of the Doom 3 engine.
