That looks great, though it would be nice to see mipmaps for the textures, they do get quite shimmery at a distance.

How does the greyscale look on calc?  I'm surprised wabbit is failing at rendering the grey that way, it is usually pretty good at that o.O Maybe the settings?  How many levels of grey are you using?

Did you try adding Shades in the Options, in the tab "Display" ?

Yeah, I think it's the settings.

So, about collision detection and Wolfenstein 3D?

I don't think it did, at least not universally. It would be bad if you could walk into the lights :P But I think sinks and some other things (like enemies) had collision.

I think I'm just going to avoid collision detection.  Collision itself is not an issue, but I don't want to stress myself trying to get a person to "slide along an object" they bump into.  And if people come to a complete stop upon collision (rather than sliding along the object), that's just going to be annoying.

EDIT: I should have a whole level to display quite soon!

* DJ_O can't wait for the level.

As for collision detection, I would only add it if an enemy is meant to block your way somewhere actually. Otherwise, I assume those enemies are gonna move around so the lack of collision might not even be noticeable, although it might be good to not make the sprites too big, then.

well, I think what wolfesnstein did was have collision walls separate from rendered walls, as well as having items simply render. That way, they could have collision work identically for colliding objects as it would for walls (By having them marked as a wall for collision, and still have non-colliding objects.

Of course, 100% of the colliding item cases (not counting npcs, but DJ's right IMO on this one.) were decorative and therefore completely optional, especially since you're not making a remake of wolfenstein, just a game like it :)

Edit: you will have wall collision, right? :P

Look for level 1 tomorrow! 

Thank you penguin77 for your perfect grayscale tutorial.  Grayscale is now flickerless!  Unless you decide to enjoy the scenery.  Then you will notice some flicker.  This is because I had to deviate from checkerboard patterns to fix a display bug.

Here's Level 1!  You can either watch the preview screenshot below, or download the attached .rar files to see the whole thing.  Enjoy!

Note that grayscale is not flickerless in these screenshots.  On actual hardware the results are much, much better.

There are a couple of bugs to fix.  One is the random dots you see on the floor.  Those come from the sky, and although they're easy to fix I do need to sit down and work on it.  The other bug is sometimes a dying enemy turns into another enemy before death.  Again, another easy fix.

Yes, but it only extracts a .gif file?
