Quasar Posted March 4, 2003 Beta 2 of v3.31 of the Eternity Engine will be released sometime very soon, possibly later today. Among other features, this beta will have the following: * Better sound library, especially for more stable MIDI * Two new BFGs -- Plasma Burst and Bouncing! * Movable 3DMidTex lines for free-standing elevators and more * Ability to make player homing missiles via FirePlayerMissile * Big bug fixes, and vastly increased stability over beta 1 * Mapthing Z clipping! * Greatly extended Heretic support (most enemies are now present) The launch will be announced here and on the Eternity page as soon as it happens, so keep an eye out. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mordeth Posted March 4, 2003 Excellent news! Quasar said: * Movable 3DMidTex lines for free-standing elevators and more * Mapthing Z clipping! I LOVE YOU QUASAR! :) BTW, I've been playing around with Eternity a lot lately but discovered only one 'bug': the Bridge linedef tag does not see the non-cyan parts of a texture as non-clippable, but the entire texture. Which is actually what I prefer, but hey :) Also, Eternity never seems to remember my video settings so every time I have to go and reset it via the menu. It also starts two windows (one game window, one start-up text one). This text screen doesn't close when I quit Eternity but requires me to close it seperately. Both things are really annoying.
