I need some help with MBF

Recommended Posts

What are the entry names of the classic BFG projectiles/explosions? I was going to make new ones for Freedoom.

Uh, you should probably post this in the freedoom forum?

Anyway, I don't think the sprites are replaceable - IIRC they're hard-coded into the EXE.

I'm pretty sure they are replacable. you can replace the dog sprites, and they are hard coded into the EXE too.

Hm, maybe you just need the entries for an external WAD then.

I don't know how MBF works, even though I've been using it for the past 3 years :P

No, Steve. I would never call you an Idiot. It's just that stphrz probably knows more about this.

Oh, and I got my answer! Here it is:

:) Nope, I haven't.

One way to get at them is to type: "mbf -dumplumps filename.wad". It
will write a new wad called filename.wad containing all the hardcoded
sprites and sounds that's fairly easy to browse with any WAD-editing
program. Warning: it will overwrite any existing filename.wad without
asking - make sure you use a name that no important WAD has.

As for the plasma balls specifically:
PLS1A0 - PLS1D0 Green ball as it flies through the air. (4 Frames.)
PLS1E0 - PLS1G0 Green ball as it explodes. (3 Frames.)
PLS2A0 - PLS2B0 Red ball as it flies through the air. (2 Frames.)
PLS2C0 - PLS2E0 Red ball as it explodes. (3 Frames.)

Hope this helps!

You must use MBF -deh dehfile.deh (or dehfile.bex)

The dehfile must contain the frame number and the sprite name:
frame number = sprite name
This is strange, 'cause you can add sprites not listed in the original .exe (ex. col2d0) but you can use in a custom wad if you add them with the correct names.

I don't know if the names are included in the mbf documentation but i'm pretty sure that they come in the eternity etcdeh.txt file.
Download eternity engine in doomworld.com/eternity
This port fuckin' rules!
