2022 Year's End News..

12/22/2022

Well we skipped 2021, was likely a crap year anyways so perhaps it's for the best. Here's a small list of SW related news to catch up on before we go another year without a news entry.

Sadly John Galt, voice of Lo Wang passed away on January 29, 2022 at the ripe ol' age of 81.

Graf Zahl & company of GZDoom has taken up the task of creating ports for the Build Engine games, here's his/their port: Raze.

Hxixdxy has been working on a new add on for SW called Doki Doki Island.

As you can see from the image to the left it's showing some promass.

MarkKaminari00 has also begun creating a new add-on for SW and can be found here: ModDB

That's all I can think of for the moment, as always be sure to check out the Forum and join the
Shadow Warrior Central Discord - discord.gg/6QjKeYUaJ4

Oh and there's a script set to make Mapster32 function for SW!

We've got 2 new ports in 2020, I don't know why the gods smiled their holy hopped up Jalepeno sized endorphin rushed gravy shot at this exact time but they have.

Here's some new ports:
WangGDX http://m210.duke4.net/
VoidSW https://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/synthesis/

It would likely behoove you to keep an eye on their progress.

Well it's the year 2000... +20 years!

1/6/2020

Well it's recently the year 2020 and what does that mean for Lo Wang? In a word.... nothing. There is however some things on the horizon like Shadow Warrior compatibility with the eduke32 engine and perhaps a Deadly Kiss "Official" release? I only say this because after what, nearly 10 or more years it ain't out yet... jus' sayin, and I've legitimately given up keeping track at this point.

This video was released by some critiquing fellow deemed popular by the masses on January 4th 2020 concerning the 2 main add-ons for SW annnnd here that is:

2020 also puts this Shadow Warrior Central website officially in its 21st year, so like huzzah! to that!
There's been some AI texture efforts and continued voxel creation, so here's to more good things for SW and Build in the coming future which relentlessly hurls itself toward us at orgasmic speeds!! WHAM!

Deadly Kiss Assets Leaked!

6/26/2017

The original asset package has been made available to the public, an unfinished Shadow Warrior add-on by SillySoft from late 1997. There has been a team assigned to completing the add-on however it's been 7 years since they were handed the task of completion and have showed little sign of anything more accomplished other than packaging the assets into a file that can be used with the SWP port.

The full asset pack can be had here:
http://www.r-t-c-m.com/knowledge-base/downloads-rtcm/swarrior-addons/

The SWP compatible package from 2013 is available here:
http://www.r-t-c-m.com/knowledge-base/downloads-rtcm/src-swarriorp-addons/

The SWP compatible package is simply that, some of the original assets packaged for use with SWP. It is not complete, nor is it the finished product as the maps still have some small touch ups to be done so they can be completed in-game. The "Helium Wang" voice is the only addition the current team had added by that time(2013) and should be simply considered a place holder until actual voice work can be completed as the main protagonist is now female, Lo Wang's sister (Tensi Yoka.) In this pack you will find that since late 1997 the maps were near full completion only needing light tweaking, the Tensi Yoka sprites are complete except for the overhead map view and arguably the player hands/weapon sprites. To be honest this add-on should have been completed and released many years ago as it was quite complete since 1997-98, download the original assets and have a look for yourself.

The current team is rumored to be still working on the project, don't hold your breath though as at the current rate it'll be another 7 years.

For now though, meet Tensi Yoka(No Wang)

Wangsdojo is back online as a file archive!

Wang's Dojo

3/6/2017

Back when Wangsdojo was online, I really loved the look of it and it saddens me now to see it offline so I've paid it a tribute with a homepage recreation.
As of writing this it's still not 100% because chopping out the ads in the code has caused a few issues and SWC tends to overwrite the link colours of embedded code. I'll clean it up sometime..

wdrecreate

Here's a full page screenshot of WD in its original glory and a Wayback Machine link for your amusement.
I'll also provide the resource page I had to create to store images and such for the recreation.

Web WorK!

2/10/2017

Well, it's a new year and time for some more additions to the website.

I've added SWP 4.3.3 beta 3 available for direct download and the official Shadow Warrior User Manual in .pdf form + a few other nic-nacs to the Files section.

- Next, I've added a new page with screenshots of all the 3drealms news posts pertaining to Shadow Warrior from 1997-2009 and you can find them here.

- I've also added a new page with some full-page screen captures of Sw websites from the past which you can find here. For some reason if the image files are too large Weebly likes to reduce the quality when they're uploaded so the original high quality files are also included in .zip file form.

- My good friend Corvin of RTCM sent over an HTML version of Jonah Bishop's MapFaq v1.5 which I have incorporated into SWC now. (Thanks Corvin :)

- Added a few new found development screenshots to the SW Development section of the site, but also took some full page screen captures of the Apogee/3dr websites that initially had the updates posted back in the day. I got the few new screenshots from Wangsdojo on the waybackmachine, sadly I think Wangsdojo is gone for good as the website is down now after its somewhat recent redesign. If Brandon the webmaster over there could contact me to let me know what's up, that would be cool. I'd like to know what will become of the vast amount of files for SW they had hosted there.

- Some new images have been added to the GFX/ART section also.
- A new Miscellaneous 3DRealms section has been added where I'll put random 3dr stuff I come across.

- The Forum has seen a few recent updates, mainly the chat window and there's been some other various little updates and additions around the website, all of the above added pages can be found if you poke around the site but can also be quickly accessed using the SiteMap.

- Do you like surfing old websites on the WayBackMachine? Well I've set up a new page with all kinds of old Shadow Warrior websites and some links of the "other" well known Build game :D

- Game Leader player registry from the late '90s added also.

- I don't even remember creating this Main Menu Overview but here it is just for the heck of it.

Oh..and Happy New Year!
