No sprite rotation enemies

Question

i'm trying to do a tc for doom which runs off a custom Wolfenstein engine that doesn't have rotations, is it possible to make enemies in doom which don't rotate?

Look at the Commander Keen sprites in doom2.wad. There are several frames, but no rotations. They all start with KEEN, the name of the sprite. They each have a different letter next, the frame. Finally, each has a 0 for the angle, meaning that there are no rotations. So, you have KEENA0, KEENB0, and so on.

That doesn't mean he can't do it again or do it a little differently. Doom 64 TC for Wolf3D would be neat.

It'd also be a very pale imitation, given that Doom 64 did stuff that only a few source ports ever supported, and that's in terms of the PC Doom engine.

 

(Hell, GZDoom only very recently - as in, a few weeks ago - added support for full Doom 64-style lighting.)

Yes it is. Make the sprites names in the form NNNNF0, where NNNN is the name of the sprite, F is the frame, and 0 is the angle. If you 0 for the angle, the sprite has no rotations. Also, look at the Nazi SS in Doom2, although it is only when they are shooting that they have no rotations.

My point is that he can still try his hand at it, despite it already existing.
