sollte eigentlich. im aktuellen firefox sowie opera müsste es laufen. wies im ie aussieht kann ich nicht sagen. Scratch 1.3 spielts auch ohne probs ab. bei 1.4 gibts glaub probleme mit den bodentexturen.
Yup, you're right. The project's cancelled. I just don't have the time to continue it.
I wrote a working 4-way-side-scrolling-engine for school but I need to optimize it, cause it runs only with around 2-3 fps (mistake in program design...). Maybe I'll rewrite this underwater shooter and upload it here then. Anyway I don't think I will continue Arcanoz. I could upload the unfinished V4 but there aren't many visible changes, only another weapon. The rest are technical changes.
I realised wen you change the pink navigation it changes the map mad as so I made my own thanks nad i am officially using thisin my project wen is V4 gonna be ready
Your one of the few people who ive seen be good enough to make 3d moving first person shooters also Petera100 and im also working on a game using stuff like this its a first person with so much to do and interactive environments
Thanks. The glitches are mostly caused by the multisprite system. If you look at the V2 you can see how fast the engine was before multisprite was added.
It is not even a game. It's only the incomplete engine for a game I'm planning. I hope I can release a final version of the engine in about 3-4 months.
I know. Real 3D is nearly impossible at a good speed in scratch. Most games that want to be 3D are series of pictures (not all, but most). This tries at least to render an evironment that looks as much as 3d as possible without the need of having a lot of single pictures. Arcanoz does only need pre-rendered textures that had been converted to 3D-like sprites before and even allows you to create new levels within less than 5 minutes without changing any sprite (except the map of course).
Download the 28 sprites and 148 scripts of "Arcanoz V3" and open it in Scratch
Project Notes
The following demonstration contains a bit violence. The sprites used in this project are from the shooter "Doom" and are only used to demonstrate the possibilities of the engine.
Seems to be not running in Opera and Internet Explorer, use Firefox instead.
Arcanoz TechDemo V3
-------------------------
This is a new Tech-Demo for my Arcanoz Engine. It demonstrates how Arcanoz can be used for ego-shooters. The monster and gun sprites are from Doom (thanks to FalconDelta for ripping!), the wall textures are from Systemshock but converted into 3d by me.
You can use W,A,S,D,Q,E to move around and space for shooting. If there's a door in front of you, you can press F to open it. Sometimes it happens, that the light goes out. Then you have to go in darkness (can be a bit spooky). One of the biggest problem is the speed. You can press B to show current fps. But most performance is in Online-Mode.
If you want to use the code or parts of it please mention me and Arcanoz in the credits.
Good luck, and have fun!

Changes from V2:
- Multitexture support
- Asynchronous Monster Movement
- Doors
- Darker Rooms
- New textures (took me about 6 hours...)
- Fps can be shown with "B"

To-Do list for V4:
- improved AI [10% Done]
- enemies can attack you
- multiple weapons [Done!]
- objects can be pick up
- minor bugfixes
- not unlimited ammo and hp [50% Done]
- mouse support

lol terminator music
i have made an engine too! (GGEngine)and it uses DooM too!
wowowowowow
How in any way is this a engine?
Is the flooring randomised? You proboblary think I'm a noob but I am just curious, thanks, plz reply.
Very interesting, too bad it has to work on tiles... of course, this is an old game. Today I'm sure you could make something even better!
IKR
muito bom mas apaga e acemde a luz do nada
... Everything was suddenly darkness ...
My dead old cat could make it...
a little choppy, and glitchy, but everybody has to start somewhere.
I call that a fail. How can you talk down to him?
(view all replies)doom rpg clone
wow really epic.
FREAKIN BEAST!!!
alright. This is goooooooood. :D
Usually, I avoid doing this, but... may I use your engine to make a game?
Of course you can ;) That's why I made this. Just mention me and my engine in the credits and please don't copy everything. Change at least the map :D
Cool, but I am making a really cool 3d Paintballer.
es funktioniert nicht
sollte eigentlich. im aktuellen firefox sowie opera müsste es laufen. wies im ie aussieht kann ich nicht sagen. Scratch 1.3 spielts auch ohne probs ab. bei 1.4 gibts glaub probleme mit den bodentexturen.
you have the same icon as me! and i did't copy.. Nice game, it looks promising
I Hate the demons
Now it's finally online: "Arcanoz V4 - The Cancelled Build" (link to project)
yay!
and, where are the doors?
the grey walls are the doors ^^ i think there were two. I'm now going to look into V4 code, comment some things and then I will upload it.
Uh... Is it just me, but does the description say that this is cancelled? That makes me very sad.
Yup, you're right. The project's cancelled. I just don't have the time to continue it.

Cool
cool!
Good, but many of bugs(. Sprites from DOOM, i like DOOM!
Wow, very nice progress on this!
I realised wen you change the pink navigation it changes the map mad as so I made my own thanks nad i am officially using thisin my project wen is V4 gonna be ready
I began writing the latest status of V4 under the description and to-do list.
cool
Your one of the few people who ive seen be good enough to make 3d moving first person shooters also Petera100 and im also working on a game using stuff like this its a first person with so much to do and interactive environments
(view all replies)Thanks
i am making a 3D game maybe Ill use this program ill give credit ofcourse check out the Trailer on my profile page its ODST trailer
You can use it of course but I recommend you to wait until I have finished V4, because it will get some new important features.
(view all replies)i love it! and i added it to my favorites! ive been trying to do this fer soooo long! please please teach me
Thanks! I'm going to write a whole documentation when the final V4 has been finished.
(view all replies)cool but really glitchy. anyways I'll favourite.
RRRRR i will eat a hot dog load!!!
this is very good. i hope you can get the glitches out and get it working in internet explorer.
Thanks. The glitches are mostly caused by the multisprite system. If you look at the V2 you can see how fast the engine was before multisprite was added.
(view all replies)this game is awsome!!!
It is not even a game. It's only the incomplete engine for a game I'm planning. I hope I can release a final version of the engine in about 3-4 months.
(view all replies)AWESOME!
How'd you get the walls and floors?
I ripped them from an old dos game called Systemshock. Then I used GIMP to add the 3d look. That wasn't very difficult. It took only a long time ;)
(view all replies)AWESOME! LOVE IT! FAVORITE!
not 3d

(view all replies)WOW THAT IS SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!! Luved it and a new favorite for 3-D things. Why hasn't this gotten a bunch of views? This is amazing!
It isn't real 3d, it uses sprites to look like 3d. This is what you call "pseudo 3d" or 2.5d. But thanks anyway ;)
(view all replies)cool!
