Jakub Majewski Posted October 31, 2021 I have attempted to construct a custom enemy for Boom compatible ports using Dehextra, but something went a bit wrong. The enemy, while, it does spawn and render as it should, seems to for the most part get stuck on a single frame, until it ends up in pain or death states. It also doesn't seem to produce sounds, so I don't know if they are badly defined, or the call for them never gets reached.  I believe I have set the frames to loop properly, so I am not sure what the issue is. Below are screenshots of Whacked Beta. Spoiler  I am also including a zipfile that contains the ready-to-use wad with the assets, the bex patched and a test map in one file. And the bex patch itself as a standalone file as a bonus. Shrekplease.zip 1 Share this post Link to post
Jakub Majewski Posted November 2, 2021 Okay, I took the suggestion from a decinocord patron and edited the dehacked file by hand with a text editor. It had turned out that the frames weren't pointed to like Whacked had shown. I managed to fix it. However, the sounds still don't seem to work for some reason. I checked the textfile, it should work. But it doesn't play, even if I conver the sounds to imp files.  here's the new code: Spoiler Patch File for DeHackEd v3.0 # Created with WhackEd4 1.3.0 BETA # Note: Use the pound sign ('#') to start comment lines.

Blue Phoenix Posted November 9, 2021 sound lumps need to be named DSFRE*** 1 Share this post Link to post
Jakub Majewski Posted November 9, 2021 Thanks. I have already figured it out by myself a few years ago by looking at Heretic invades Doom though. Only thing left to improve on would be the sound quality. Â LMP files work, but the alert sound is bad quality. PrBoom+ UM supports WAVs, and I heard they will play fine if you add reverb to them, but no luck on my end; it just plays at a low pitch. Â Submitting it so others can look how I fixed it in case they need help with it themselves. Shrekpls.7z 0 Share this post Link to post
