Oh no need for that. I was just curious to see what kind of levels it could build (/just for fun). The bat files don't work though (I have windows 7 here). Huh? I also have Win7 and no problem.

If 3run is okay with those somewhat related discussions I say we keep it like this. Creating a dedicated thread for specific discussions is never wrong though. It's completely ok. I really love to see thread being alive! Plus, it's a very interesting discussion! @3run: I have to say I don't like the idea of going for a WWII game that much. Why don't you create your own setting/ universe instead, for example a fictional regime (optionally on a fictional planet) or something completely different? Well, that's cause I don't want to spend time on arts, design and so on. I would use directly sprites from those wolf3d mods as a placeholders, and they already look pretty good. I really wanted to create something sci-fi, but I didn't find any good resources. I thought about making a game, where you need to escape the prison cells each level, and over and over again, you get caught and try to escape again. In order to add something fresh into the gameplay mechanics, I wanted to add more stealth features, sneaking, leaning around the corner.. What do you think? This game mechanics will works nicely with another game setting too, but it's just a lack or resources that makes me thing about WWII style..

Huh? I also have Win7 and no problem. , I see a black window for a sec and than it is gone and nothing happens for the .bat files under the a3games folder. The .bat files under binary folder do seem to work though. Well, that's cause I don't want to spend time on arts, design and so on.

But I would allow the player to also go full rambo when they want (but just very difficult sometimes; e.g. by having not so much ammo / forcing them to go melee ninja style).

Ah that's clear. Not all of the A3 game resources include the published game, and some of those bat files are for starting up the old WED (during development I sometimes had to check how things are supposed to look the correct way), which is not included. The games were a direct copy/paste from my A3 folder. The published games (tlol, wok) however should run with Dosbox - although this never was the point of those folders. It's just levels, scripts, assets for the converter to read.

Thats on the list already, I'll allow player to sneak around the level, but it's his choice to do so or not laugh
, great, for some reason I always like to go rambo in stealth games ^^ @Firoball however should run with Dosbox , ah that explains it. Sometimes I forget how old the Acknex engine actually is
