Into Cerberon 0.0.1 \"Coal\" Released

Post by HeXetic »

The IC Team is pleased to announce the release of the first play-test version of our Doom 3 mod, Into Cerberon.

Image

This playable (basically ;)) release includes two maps, the Pyro GX ship model, lasers, the minigun, concussion missiles, and headlights. Multiplayer is functional... mostly. Doom 3 version 1.3 is required; the mod download is 17 MB.

Details as well as additional screenshots are available at the IC homepage:

No Joystick support, ouch!

I seem to have a better workout dodging your stupidity than attempting to grasp the weight of your intelligence.

Hey Bubba.

I talked to Gren and he was \"looking at it\". He rans across some things that might be \"possible solutions\". Mind you, he wasn't looking at it HARD. :)

I'll leave it at that as Gren wasn't lookin to comit to anything at the time and I don't want to put any more words in his mouth than I already have! :o

I have already begun looking at a way to hack DirectInput joystick control into Doom3, but for now we're focusing on somewhat more pressing issues such as \"having a game to play the joystick with\".

PPJoy and PIE could be used for a temporary fix for your joystick problems.

I can't seem to get it to work. I install it within the Doom 3 directory and have Doom 3 load the mod. The Into Cerberon title screen appears. If I go to New Game or start a game in multiplayer, I get the \"Loading\" screen, but before anything else happens, I'm kicked back to the Into Cerberon title. I'm running Doom 3 1.3. Any thoughts?

The main menu is, shall we say, less than functional at this point. \"New Game\" won't work because there is no singleplayer. Starting a new multiplayer game also won't work because IC is mostly incompatible with the built-in DM maps, and the start-multiplayer menu doesn't show the IC maps.

You will pretty much have to rely on console commands and command-line options to get the mod rolling. Here's how to start an IC dedicated server, for example:

C:\\Doom3\\DOOM3DED.exe +set fs_game IntoCerberon +set si_pure 0 +si_map ic_whatever +spawnserver

(assuming you have Doom3 installed in C:\\Doom3). Type this into your start->run box or make a shortcut to it.

To connect to that server (note: you can run a dedicated server app and a client app on the same box), you would run:

C:\\Doom3\\DOOM3.exe +set fs_game IntoCerberon +connect localhost

Otherwise, to fool around by yourself in one of the maps, you should run something like:

C:\\Doom3\\DOOM3.exe +set fs_game IntoCerberon +map ic_whatever

and then use \"map ic_pipeline\" if you feel like checking out the other map.

IC 0.0.2 will have a considerably less broken menu/GUI system.

Okay, I asked a Doom 3 friend and got it working. Following your readme, you should mention that by default, Doom 3's console isn't available from the title screen.

Start Doom 3 with a command line like:
\"C:\\Program Files\\Doom 3\\DOOM3.exe\" +com_allowConsole 1

Then, you can load the Into Cerberon mod and type \"map ic_pipeline\" or \"map ic_whatever\" (sans quotes) in the console to load the maps. :)

Pretty neat. Doom's nice bump mapped metal environments should suit a Descent-like world nicely.

Right, sorry. I forget because I've put \"com_allowconsole 1\" in my auto-execute script for Doom3.

I think it's a very good move to give us something to play with even at such an early development state, and as Duper has said, we have received due warnings about its limitations, so:

Thank you! :)

Got it working, looks cool. Can't wait for joy support and better lighting, I found the maps dark but I'm sure that just because it's an alpha.

Adding stick support to the Dm3 engine will be a pain in the neck. Quake 4 has native stick support, couldn't get it work very well tho (just played w/ it for 5min or so). Right now your best shots are

Yeah, we've stalled a bit due to Other Factors (iceheart's computer died, repeatedly, I've been busy with some other projects, etc.), but we're still working. Behold:

Ooooh..... YUMMY! Quit playing Oblivion and get to work! ;p

Though I don't blame you... took me from Oblivion's release straight through to about 3 or 4 days ago to finally get burned out enough to do something else.
