Can you rotate floor and ceiling textures?

[Alexagon]

I saw a thread from a Google search the other day about mapping tips and someone mentioned you can rotate floor/ceiling textures. I can't for the life of me find that thread nor any info about if this is possible, figured I'd ask the question myself.

I think this can only be done if you use the UDMF map format (ATM machine, I know!). I started playing with this feature and got a little carried away...

Can't say about UDMF (I never used it, but I heard it can) but with Doom and Boom, you can't do it.

Not from the map; the method of doing it in vanilla is to simply create a rotated version of the flat as a resource.

It's not a UDMF thing explicitly, rather a ZDoom thing exposed to Hexen ACS or its UDMF properties. Likewise, Eternity has it too for vanilla (via extradata) and UDMF. Another port implementing UDMF may not have rotation.

DSDA was in the process of adding this stuff last time I checked.

My first thought exactly.

UDMF allows to easily change the orientation of flats & things although changing a thing's Z-axis orientation doesn't work well. I keep complaining to have the same quality for walls. I have to say that actual rotating flats, textures & things would make editing really nasty...To bypass this, we have to make animated textures. Like someone said above, to have rotated walls requires a new texture slot with the rotated graphic...
