This topic for others to share their ideas for the Lounge. What do you guys think should be in it?
an arcade? :D
-Pool!
-Park (as in trees, etc. not too big)
-Security room
-Better zorchmatch arena (I can do the script and whatnot for this if you want)
-Personalized rooms (of course)
-Lounge area with couches (of course)
-Bathrooms (of course, though kinda weird)
-Shooting range! (I can also do the code for this if needed)
-Holding Cells! (XD)
For my room...
IDK, i'll have to think about it.
EDIT - Ooh!! An arcade with playable games (I can also do this code as well)
I've never been very interested in making lounge maps, so I don't have any ideas at the moment. I don't want more than 5 lounge maps in the .pk3.
For the Arcade room...
Maybe you start playing a game and you kinda "enter" the game (Your actually playing it). Maybe some flemoid based games.
Pool - DEFINATELY. If possible, I'll make a water slide!
Park - Yeah, very doable.
Security Room - Kind of like the Big Tv Room? But more TVs?
Zorchmatch arena - Hmm... Do we want this to be Co-op so we can have 3d floors? (Transparent pools, ceiling panes, tables, etc.)
Lounge area - Yeah!
Bathrooms - always in the lounge. I have the textures for it too. Maybe have flushing sounds when you leave the stall XD
Shooting Range - I thought about this. Not a bad idea. Maybe a little Target shooting game with flemoids and 75' targets?
Right now...
All I have is a Cafe, known as the Digital Cafe. There will be food items and such, maybe an appearance of a shopped head of Chef Excellence on the Cereal Chef's body.
For the Cafe...
-Neon Signs
-Light Switch
-Computer Terminal
-Posters?
-Booths/Tables
-Kitchen area
-Plant boxes
-Windows?

There will probably only be this one. Perhaps it could be used for events/commemorations/parties/etc.
I like that idea. XD
But yeah, good to all of those, except for special notes...
-That is almost exactly what i was thinking with the arcade.
-@Security Room: exactly what I meant
-Zorchmatch arena: good point. and my next question was that. Invasion arena, where you score points? Say, that not a bad idea, and while were at it, put the shooting range in the arcade. Perhaps a practice range outside, though?
I like the cafe, but what does the computer terminal do?
Computer Terminal may be just for decoration. Maybe have it reveal a Secret Area in the lounge.
By the way... maybe some hidden rooms?
It should have some sort of conference room/lecture hall type place.
And for people's rooms, there should be a hallway with plenty of room for people's creations so they're not limited by space. I'll link to a wad of my room I made once I get it uploaded.
We need something like the Elevator of Dimensions. I can do that.
Anyways, hidden rooms - How about a vault? Like, with lots of powerups. Or maybe someplace that you get to when you win an arcade game...
Ooh! We need a store, so that you can buy things with credits earned from arcade games and whatnot! We need gambling! A poker/blackjack/whatever room!
Yeah, a Credits system would be cool. some whaleware merchandise would be purchasable.
We need...
-a Whaleware Development Center!
-a library
-a Holodeck
-a secret commando base
-an Aperture Science Enrichment Center
Ooo! The holodeck could be a perfect place for my crazy level idea (which might not really be practical as a real level, but hey). Leave that to me. It'll take a while and a honkload of scripting, but I'll take that.
Well, here's a screen of the Cafe with 0 Lighting (There are 2 light switches)
(http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac218/QuadrumpusGuy2/Screenshot_Chex_20101105_224602.png)
I'm still trying to figure out what the layout of the lounge is going to be. I also have a hallway and am starting on a kitchen (Which has spawn switches for food)
Looks nice, but a few suggestions.
1. Erase the background behind the digital cafe logo, and make the neon part of it be a separate midtexture. That will make it look more 3d.
2. Use some brightmaps on the neon part.

1. I've tried and it doesn't turn out great. Trust me on this one.
EDIT: What If I could just slap it onto the BRNGRN Texture in the Diner?
2. Okay. I need to learn how to use Brightmaps.
I made a quick poster for you
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/Freshprinceofhydroposter.png)
It's big, so you'll have to use TEXTURES if you decide to use it.
XD
Yeah, It's going in!
There's also this poster from HacX
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/RP1_2.png)
I think it would be funny to put in, considering the unofficial (Stolen) Chex Quest 3 took a lot of stuff from HacX
Heh, Hacx was Hacxed...
I think I'll put in a Chef Excellence Poster.
"An Excellent Poster"
I really like how this is turning out! ;)
Quick question: is this Lounge based off of/designed around the theme of the SpaceChex Lounge?
I'm thinking yeah, It will be like the Space Chex Lounge, like a Space Station orbiting Ralston, I guess. But with a lot more in it, and a lot more to do.
I spent several hours today making the Whaleware Development Center. It is awesomeness. :whale :whale :whale

ANNOUNCEMENT: UDMF Is coming soon to this mod.
Ideas:
-A museum of some sorts. I think it should also have the Purple Lamppost on display like in the Provincial Park Lounge. (at least I think it was the provincial park lounge)
-A (boarded up) hallway to the West Wing!
I saw Laz's Whaleware development center. It looks fantastic. This lounge is going to be huge, I think they told me they'd have it done by December.

Yeah, both of these sound good.
The west wing will be accessible by a staircase leading down and into a basement with an area boarded up. There will be a teleporter to the west wing, however.
Actually, what I was thinking...
have the base, and then have another part, where it gets steadily darker with almost completely covered windows. Maybe a music change here...
It should look about the same as the rest of the base, just darker and empty... maybe some upturned chairs and tables.
Then... the lampposts (as we talked about earlier). Don't post about that, I'd consider it a spoiler.
Okay :D [spoiler]Maybe an announcement about someone entering the area?[/spoiler]
Also, I am making a Party/Recreational Room. I'm guessing this space station is going to have 4 different areas.
Wait, now what was I gonna do?
Expect screens tomorrow.
EDIT: Unfortunately they will be in software mode, because I forgot to upload the lounge to mediafire last night, though I was sure I uploaded it... hmm...
SCREENSHOT TIME!! :D

wicked awesome!
I was about to complain about all the Whales on the wall having a white box around them, but then I noticed the tacks. And then I'm like: "Oh... Carry on. :whale"
@xbolt hmm... you used to play a lot, but not so much anymore it seems... have you tried the skulltag pack offline? What do you think of it?
I keep meaning to join y'all, but Minecraft er, school. Yeah.
I'll get to it. Soon. Hopefully.
We need this awesome music in the WAD somewhere, somehow.
Man, I'm not sure what to do for the pool room... I tried making a pool with slopes, but the 3d floors screw up and a bunch of strange stuff happens... I might just have a big rectangular pool with some diving boards, or maybe just a lazy river or something... hmm... Also, I inserted more rooms from LAZ. They look great. More screens coming soon.

YES. XD
Edit: What about those with their Gender as Other?
Ooh, make one of those 1-room unisex bathrooms in the middle! XD
Should we have a credits system? And how would we make one?
Hey! I've got that covered. And their whaleware credits. :whale
And of course, an items shop will need to be created to buy zorchers/inventory/misc. :D
Edit for failspell XD
Got that too. XD
And lotsa scripts.
Okay, here is the pool room so far:
(http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac218/QuadrumpusGuy2/Screenshot_Chex_20101111_150218.png)
Any suggestions? So far, I have a sloped pool (slopes to deepen the pool), and 2 diving towers that use 3d floors.
Quite a bit accomplished today. Added some scripts and am going to start work on my room.
EDIT: Okay, I finally started on my room.
EDIT2: There will be keys you will need to access certain rooms and a major area... *hint hint*

Because it's really weird to think of putting something like that in a map, but it's oddly fitting.
Btw, what music will be playing in the main area* of the lounge? I was thinking of E3M1 from Chex Quest 3
[spoiler]*Main Area - almost everywhere except the West Wing[/spoiler]
I feel like if it's a lounge, it should play some really chill, laidback music. E3M1 is epic, but I don't know how lounge-y it is...
Maybe the Spacechex lounge music should make a cameo
I'm not sure about the music, I'd have to play the lounge to say for sure.
Quote from: QuadrumpusGuy on November 14, 2010, 03:06:46 PM
What about this?
Ooh yes, I love Cave Story's music and that's pretty chill, imo.
I'm still figuring out what is going to go into the Jukebox. I'm trying to figure out if all of the CQ3 music should go in and/or multiple pieces. (Definitely some that were in the original lounges)
Quote from: QuadrumpusGuy on November 14, 2010, 03:06:46 PM
What about this?
make that into a midi file and we have a winner
Hmm... I found it on Mirsoft, the files are XM files... ???
Here, found a MIDI version, turned down the drums a little. Try it out.
http://www.chexquest.org/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=106
Oooh!!
Two things:
1. We need some dark music in the west wing, right? I've got some good midis for that.
2. If we do that, we need it localized. I was thinking maybe megaphone speakers in the corners. I'm pretty sure I can do that.

1. I made a version of E2M2 of ultimate doom for the west wing, did you hear it?
I think this is the right one - http://www.mediafire.com/?of76b46q7b2rg6a
2. I was thinking of having the music change for the player when the player crosses a linedef
Putting it through speakers is not a good idea, because then you'd have cave story still going in the background.
I really like the cave story midi, by the way.
Maybe have the music vary in different areas of the West Wing?
My Suggestions:
Doom II MAP08 (Dave D. Taylor Blues)
Doom II MAP18 (Waiting For Romero To Play)
Doom II MAP02 (The Healer Stalks)
TNCQ MAP06
TNCQ MAP09
yeah, that's kind of a cool idea, have it change as you descend into the depths of the west wing
I bet it wouldn't be too hard to make this song using pads
Finally starting the shops.
EDIT: The Items shop layout is complete. I just need to add switches and some scripts. There will also be a Runes shop and Zorcher shop. I was thinking of having a basic item inventory shop (for misc. items)
The teleport script for when you enter is there too, so now you start in a random airlock pod.
i haven't been on much recently, so when i looked at all the screens i was like, :o :o :whale :whale :whale :whale :whale EPICNESS! this will be so awesome!!!
heh, the west wing. will you die when you go there somehow?
I'm working on a Ginger Ale Chaingun now.
I'm trying to figure out if I want it to fire railgun shots of ginger ale liquid or if I want it to shoot cans of Ginger Ale... what do you guys think?
Ginger ale cans. With a little splash damage. Perhaps make it like poison? (code it into the purple lampposts pain state)
are you going to give it a specific damage type, so it does small damage to normal stuff and large damamge to lampposts?
Yeah
then that should be easy, just code it into the special pain state, use variables or custom inventory for cooldown, and damage it every time the loop comes around.
How about ginger ale cans that explode with ginger ale when they hit something? Ginger ale grenades, if you will.
Perhaps more like a rocket launcher?
I still think there should be a super shotgun hidden down there somewhere. Have chexter blow them away doom style. 8)
Perhaps! 8)
I may make secret rooms with a weapon spawn spot in there. (Mainly in the West Wing)
Why spawn spot? Why not just use regular weapons, since this is going to be cooperative, right? You can just set it so that the weapon stays when picked up (in the flags).
Yeah, That's what I meant.
Okay, little update for the Ginger Ale Gun. There will be an alt fire for it. You will be able to shoot shots of Ginger Ale, or shoot cans of it out at the enemies (The Cans will explode)
Also, does anyone have any good suggestions for the sounds of the can exploding.

If you hadn't said that, I would've. I actually had another idea for ginger ale awesomeness, but it would be hard to sprite and would be a very slow weapon. The basic idea: the ammo is cans of ginger ale, and you hold on in your hand, and when you press fire, you shake the can for a few seconds, and then open it so it sprays. Yeah, kind of hard to make...
hmmm... it wouldn't be too bad, as you can reuse the can image.
as for the sound, maybe just a regular, short, qiuck, explosion? (excuse is compressed gas)
Nothing new with the lounge... Does anyone want to work on it and add some stuff to it? I can send you a Download if you want to work on it.
possibly, i'm still doing other stuff. I could see what I could add.
Sure, I'll give it a whack.
Hmm... I can't seem to upload to Mediafire... should I email it to you two?
sure;

Did you fix it with XWE? the not having enough memory thing is something XWE does to the wad. Open it up again with XWE and take a look - you won't like it. Next time, before you exit, select a sprite. (don't ask why)

Thanks 75, I'll keep that in mind.
... so how come the first time the problems people tell me happen when you use XWE happens the one time I'm fixing someone else's wad? It works now. :P
yeah...
XWE's kinda screwed up, but if you play it safe, its quite usable.

QFT. NEVER Open the wad up with XWE and DB at the same time... you risk destroying your work. It's possible to do this without the corrupting the WAD file, but risky and not worth it.
actually, that doesn't screw up the wad, but it makes it so you can't save it due to I/O errors. (for obvious reasons)
what does make your wad screwed up:
for sure:
leaving your cursor selected in a lump (i.e., you just edited some text and your cursors still blinking where it was) when you close the wad
what I think:
having decorate, gldefs, a sound, or PNAMES selected when you close (and save) the wad.
I had some errors with textures where pnames got some text screwed up, but the most i've gotten is everything changing type and data values, which is what happened to you. XD
How is progress?
Sadly, i've had homework, so not much. I should start up again soon, though.
We need something to make the hallways more interesting... Also, I don't see any real distinct "wings" to it. Also noticed you haven't put in my room.
Something strange I've encountered while wandering: in two places, once in the pool room, once in a long hall, when you're far away from one wall, that walls turns into a giant HOM wall, but it's fine when you get close to it...
yeah. i noticed that too. and the one in pool room happens where theres no linedef. just in mid-sector
@LAZ: I put in the textures for your room but did not get to putting in your room.
And yes, there has been a strange HOM effect I've been trying to fix but it keeps moving around. It started in the entrance, then moved to the meeting hall, so... I don't know ???
Maybe the size of the map is screwing with it... or conflicting tags, etc.?
Possibly. It happens in certain positions only though. It was really strange. ???
Credit system up and running! Works perfectly! For reference, I have a large coin giving 500 credits, a small coin giving 100 credits, and was thinking the commonus should be 50. I'll include an example or two when I incorporate it into the lounge.
w00t!
Haven't worked on the Lounge for a long time :-\
When will the next beta be released? I am anxious to see what new awesomeness there is. :whale
see the progress topic. I'm working on a new engine right now, and I'll probably do a chex themed mod for it.
So, when will the next version of the Skulltag lounge be released? I'd like to see these new features like the credit system.
Its not actually in the Lounge, yet. But, I should be able to put my stuff in in a few weeks, possibly even by the end of this one. Hope for the best.
How is work coming on the lounge?
It's time to resume progress. I'm going to start mapping again for the lounge. ;D
Yes, the last post was made 4 years ago. But I wanted to do some action for some sort of Chex Quest mod, and I thought of the Lounge as I was reading this topic.
So I present to you, the Whaleware poster!
