Eytanz gave us a screenshot in the "Guess the Screenshot" game that was confirmed to be in 3.0. It seems as though 3.0 will give us a bunch of new obstacles, and there seems to be some sort of fog effect going on as well. I also wonder if the sign is readable, or only decrative.

Here's a link, go halfway down the page for Eytanz's post.

Clicky

Nah, that's just the pixel shader 3.0 effects at work... :lol

Anyway, here's a direct link to the image...

np: Gas - Track 5 (Gas)

I think - and I think Mike might want to add confirmation on this as to whether or not this is the case - that you may now be able to add any number of default generic obstacles in via the editor, in a manner similar to custom floors. That would keep our StyleX.pngs smaller and would also clean up some code, now that the system can include various medias in holds.

Actually, this would be pretty awesome as a feature request if it isn't already in there.

Coppro - depends what you mean. If you mean adding an obstacle of the type found in DROD 2.0 - one that is tweaked to appear differently in every room style, and that has a shadow which interacts with other shadows, then no, you cannot just create/import user-based ones. But there are quite a few new ones, some of which you see in the screenshot.

What I mean is - can you import them like you can image floors, and then use them like that?

I must say i like the shinyness of it.

What i want to know is if you can make custom walls which are simply floors, only you can't step on them.

yeah, pretty much. only without the 'oooh' sound, because there would most likely be an object there, not a hole.

Can you make then in DROD 2?

Yep - shut room exits if you step on this spot :)

Of course, doesn't work nearly so well if there are monsters in the room :/

I wonder if the chairs are walkable on or are just decoration like trees... Thanks Eytan!

Oh, and will there be new in-game styles? Or the same old 3?

I thought you could now add new styles directly to your hold? So that's probably a "no"... :)

np: DJ Shadow - Midnight In A Perfect World (Gab Mix) (Endtroducing Deluxe Edition (Disc 2))

I really and seriously hope because playing the main TCB levels with the same styles would look old.

Wow! Nice screenshot.

I do wonder, how would Beethro (or anyone else) fit in that (3 seats) couch? :)

Well, I guess there's cloud effects. I'd expect that it'd extend to other effects above the playing field, maybe shadows or something like that.

Am I the only one who finds it spooky that Beethro and the NPC in the screenshot still have no shadows, even though it's DROD 3.0 already? :lol

np: Richard Devine - Orr Unfolding (Cautella)

Yeah, as if shinyness had ever distracted someo... OH, SHINY!

Sorry, gotta go!

np: DJ Shadow - Stem/Long Stem (Transmission 2) (Endtroducing Deluxe Edition (Disc 1))
