DtM Posted January 24, 2003 I have a wad on Geocities (unfortunately): http://www.geocities.com/domthemighty2000/trenches.wad I stuck four CyberDemons in the middle of a deathmatch arena designed to be on a trenches theme. I've shamelessly ripped off many graphics and in other cases ingeniously designed my own (you'll know when you see them, quite dodgy, be they). Anyhoo, if you play the wad, you'll notice that they disappear occasionally for no apparent reason, even while firing rockets, and then suddenly appear again. WHY?! I cannot figure this out. Probably something quite obvious. 0 Share this post Link to post

DtM Posted January 24, 2003 Whilst I'm on my idiot streak I think I'll mention NOW that it's a Legacy *.wad. 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted January 24, 2003 Idiot streak? Nonsense, just one minor mistake doesnt make it a Idiot streak, believe me, there are and have been quite a few idiot streaks around these forums ;D 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted January 24, 2003 Hmmm...after playing around in that general area of the CyberDemons I noticed they only dissapeared when I went a certain distance away from them. But the reason it does so is you have too many sprites in that area. When I removed the courpes in the area, the Cybers no longer dissapeared, simply remove some of the courpses for them to not dissapear :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Mordeth Posted January 24, 2003 DtM said: you'll notice that they disappear occasionally for no apparent reason, even while firing rockets, and then suddenly appear again. DA is right: sprites that blink in and out of existance is due to the limit on how many sprites can be displayed on screen at one time. In vanilla Doom this limit was set at 64. Most source ports have removed this limit althogether, but apparantly Legacy hasn't. 0 Share this post Link to post

DtM Posted January 25, 2003 Okay, I gots that working. The glitch still appears when you're up on the tower and too many rockets get shot, but meh... maybe when Legacy updates this will all be fixed. I am presented with a new problem, again a dumb one. http://member.lycos.co.uk/dtm2002/trenches.zip I have made a feeble attempt at putting fragglescript in as a sort of optional briefing you can have, xept there is an annoying problem which I cannot seem to pin down. Does anyone knowes what the prob is? (I included the seperate fragglescript in the zip file). 0 Share this post Link to post
