Did you try and PM him? He might need a little poking and prodding to remember to check back here. :)

NeoHippo, be sure you got this compiled dev-build as it's going to expire in ~24hrs. To stay up to date manually, you can check the commits and fetch the appropriate data as needed (if going manually). The compiled build I generated is outdated now, but you can fetch the recently updated (or mismatched)maps and apply it to that build as needed.

EDIT:
After I hit the next milestone, I'll create the documentation and maybe video demonstration on how to compile this project. After the next milestone, there is going to be more revisions to come. I'll try to remember to come back to this thread and let you know once the documentation its available.

No need to be sorry; but I only hope that people will like these maps and the feel of this project as much as I do. But, thanks for the feedback :)

I'm sorry to hear about the depression. It's good to see you back at it, though.

Well, okay - you're right. I think that Macro-economics pushed me into depression -- hearing how Microsoft employees are considered unemployed as they don't generate RGDP and NGDP and software development is a giant waste of time, perhaps that just steered me the wrong way - - yet I was forced to obey... But to be honest, no matter how many times I kill this project and try to let it die, I always come back to it. I have been working on this project since 2007, letting it die always simply kills myself and places me into a depressionable state. You could argue that I have an attachment to it, and I think you would be right.

As of right now, I currently have 6 out of 10 maps ready and exceeded the 50% completion rate, this project only has direction now - and its not stopping.

Oh, I didn't know. >_> I thought when you asked me to archive those forums that you had stopped working on it.

Hmm? When did the development died? As far as I am concerned, in the coming months there will be an open beta for everyone to try out and share feedback. If anything, you caught it in the right time. ;)

Tiger - <3
That is all.

This mapset really is quite beautiful. I am so terribly sorry that I never got a chance to experience it when development on it was actually active.

Don't tell anyone that this exists ;)

I'll automatically remove that link within ~48hrs


In the meantime, I am going to listen to this song

I'm sorry, the resource PWAD was created to keep openness available as much as possible and also allow the maps to be playable - as I had the SVN repo in a private box. Now that everything is on GitHub, I don't really need to build an asset PWAD again -- That PWAD takes too much time to build as its not entirely like the one I utilize for level development. You can generate an asset archive file, if you are able to get the TGRDM3 Compiler working. But keep in mind that textures will never be included in the asset package anymore, you will need to direct GZDoom Builder to use the textures directory.

Additionally, the _UNKNOWN.png is merely GZDoom Builder's unknown texture. You can substitute them with ASHWALL2 if you wanted too; you can streamline the UDMF ASCII file and replenish _UNKNOWN to ASHWALL2, I doubt much harm will happen if done properly.

All I was after was the resource wad.

So, after downloading TGRDM3-master.zip I found out that the only difference was _UNKNOWN.png :roll:
I'll just replace the missing textures with something I think would be appropriate as I play the maps.

I must say again that I really like the way that you made those teleporters.

I've found out the hard way that it didn't work. I did not know Bootless Star would be needed.

I suppose, if later on I have some time, I could compile it myself and post the result.

If you want to compile the project into a pk3 for playability or assets, you'll need Bootless Star and compile the TGRDM3 compiler (DO NOT TOUCH THE COMPILER MAP!). The TGRDM3 compiler only works with Bootless Star, so you'll need to put the compiler in the 'Project Modules'. Afterwards, when running the TGRDM3 compiler, you'll need to setup the directory path. TGRDM3 Compiler must point to the root of the local copy directory which contains the compiler_map.bat. Once that is done, you can then quickly generate builds. Though, the compiler is held together with duct tape, I need to update it -- ignore instances of SVN and SVN fetching.

I am not certain if Eruanna's approach will work, I never tried it and never had that in mind in creating the filesystem. However, if it works for you - then great! I'll worry about creating documentation on these matters later, my main focus is on the maps.

You can just take the resulting .zip file extract the textures, and you've got something workable. That should be enough to help you with what you need, hopefully.
