<STELTH> Are you guys putting in MIDI music for the shareware?
<Cerebris> I know that...but ive heard that in order to make stacked sectors 
   you build it more like a water sector arrangment from Duke
<Duv3DR> yes
<NukeDukem> Gotta link the sectors over sectors with SE's like water sectors :)
<Duv3DR> No SE's in Shadow Warrior..
<Duv3DR> But something similar...
<STELTH> Excellent...
<NukeDukem> Tags

<STELTH> Will you be able to make your own levels in SW???

<NukeDukem> I hear there are up to 30 sub tags , subtags and boolean tags for 
   many main tags
<STELTH> Can you give us any new enemy info?
<D_Nukem> Duv: Press guys from where came today?
<Cerebris> Boolean tags...O great :)
<Duv3DR> D_Nukem...Europe..
<Duv3DR> Nuke, Yes...mucho tags....they do all kinds of things
<STELTH> Wild...
<D_Nukem> Duv: Did it seem like a good reaction from them overall?
<Wumpus> duv, just how modifiable are the upcoming 3dr games?  george said 
   there won't be any .cons or equivalent?!?!?!?
<STELTH> Ya need .CONS, my maps were set beautifully for them
<Duv3DR> D_Nukem, yes
<D_Nukem> Wumpus: George said no about 3 different times :)
*** RealPopo (wd@205.236.100.221) has joined #duke3d
<Duv3DR> Wumpus, each game has it's own rules..
<Duv3DR> No cons for Swarrior..
<STELTH> Thats too bad, any reason?
<Wumpus> only to sw DN
<D_Nukem> George did say that it would add 3 months of development onto the 
  game to get CONs in.
<Duv3DR> Stealth, do you want to wait another 4 months for the game?
<D_Nukem> Wumpus: And SW is 3D Realms' only upcoming Build game :)
<STELTH> Nope...cant wait any longer already...
<NemesisX> Duv : no cons how does the game run then if its programmed in C ?
<Wumpus> yeah, and about 3 years to the games longevity..as he has agreed to 
   before...so why won't he give!
<STELTH> I didn't know that they took that long to mkae...
<D_Nukem> Wumpus: Gameplay comes first, not editing.
<Wumpus> george said 6 months..i know it adds..but it has a lot of pluses for a 
   game too
<Wumpus> AAAHHHH!H!!!!! DN DON'T SAY THAT
<Duv3DR> Stealth, cons have to be integrated throughout the entire game...It's 
   like a complete rework.
<Wumpus> <G>
<STELTH> Wow, I didnt know...
*** |Battery| is now known as BATT|TURO
<STELTH> Cons aren't needed then...=0)
<Cerebris> I disagree.  Prime example: Id's Quake 
* Wumpus slaps stelth heartily
*** BATT|TURO is now known as BAT|TUROK
<D_Nukem> Cerebris: Oh that engine called Quake? No game there.
<STELTH> Hey man, watch the hair! *LOL*
<Wumpus> yeah, if it weren't for team play quake would have no game at all heheh
<STELTH> Deathmatch is the only thing that is good on Quake...
<NukeDukem> Can Powwow servers be too crowded? I can't connect :(
<STELTH> Duke rules all over Quake
<NemesisX> Duv : Is SW gonna use a new engine or will it still be build ?
<NemesisX> Duv : fine don't reply..
<Cerebris> Exactly.  But it is editable as hell.
<D_Nukem> Nemesis: SW is 3D Realms' last Build game.
<War_Lord> hehe
<STELTH> Wait a sec huh? Hes busy ya know?
*** phreaks (ericwendt@user-168-121-221-167.dialup.mindspring.com) has 
joined #Duke3d
<Duv3DR> Nemesis, SW is build..
<War_Lord> yeah, if you have the $70 program 3d studio...
<War_Lord> yep
<D_Nukem> Nemesis: It uses an enhanced Build engine though, allowing for 
  Sectors over Sectors, etc/
<Duv3DR> Well, catch you later...SW shareware out soon..
<STELTH> Did you guys have to update the engine to make ledges and stuff?
*** Duv3DR (RandyP@dfw67171.gte.net) has left #duke3d
<D_Nukem> Not soon! "When it's done!"
<D_Nukem> Geeze, can't he get it right? :)
