Nick Perrin Posted June 21, 2007 Hey guys. I'm curious - do the frames BSPIA1D1, BSPIB1E1 and BSPIC1F1 all exactly double for the D, E and F frames of BSPI? This must be the case, since those specific frames are nonexistent, but the rest of their angles exist.... in any case I've just learned something new about sprite naming. Is there any change when they are reused for the D-F sprites (ie flipping, offsets, anything). Thanks, any more info on sprite naming to define things like this would be awesome. 0 Share this post Link to post
TheDarkArchon Posted June 21, 2007 In a nutshell For a sprite named SPRTaxby, when SPRT frame a rotation x is needed SPRTaxby is displayed and when SPRT frame b rotation y is needed, SPRTaxby is mirrored horizontally. 0 Share this post Link to post
Steeveeo Posted June 21, 2007 I've always wondered if there was an engine hack to make a "top" and "botton" rotation frame... 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted June 21, 2007 Since angles aren't calculated vertically in most Dooms, this is unlikely. 0 Share this post Link to post
Steeveeo Posted June 21, 2007 heh...if only I knew how to code engines... wait...MOST dooms? 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted June 21, 2007 I think he means most Doom engine games, probably Hexen or something calculates them for some reason. 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted June 21, 2007 The Hellknight also has doubled frames when walking, which can be annoying if you are replacing it without really paying attention with a ripped pillar graphic from Duke Nukem and then watch it in game and notice the "light source" keeps shifting from side to side on a stationary object 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted June 21, 2007 It does not matter how you name a custom sprite. It does not matter how the original looked. You can use any rot combination you wish. For example, you can use BOS2A0B5, which simply means that frame A seen from everywhere is the same as flipped B seen from the back. "Most Dooms" excludes 3d rendered variants, such as Doomsday, GlDoom, GlLegacy... Seen from above, monsters are made paper-thin, as watching a puppet theatre, quite weak I say. That's where pitch rots are advisable. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nick Perrin Posted June 21, 2007 Hey guys thanks for the insights. I never realized Doom was capable of flipping the sprite like that... I think it was Ling who originally said "the engine never ceases to reveal its mysteries" or something like that. Good stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post
