Heretic: Treasure Chest - PLEASE FILL IN SLOTS!

[esselfortium]

66603? I think you might have read the wrong number. Unless the map is using ZDBSP's ZDoom-only compressed segs format, it's impossible to have more than 65536 segs in a Doom level (and even that would be twice HTC's limit).

[Vermil]

I believe it does have that many segs.

I brought that up with Dreadopp via PM when I first played his map. But nobody has fixed it.

[Dreadopp]

66603? I think you must have read it wrong. The map itself only has 21957 sidedefs. I also checked the number of segs in XWE, and it says there's only 27233 entries. I tried running the map in Heretic+ and it worked fine.

[Vermil]

I was talking about GL Seg's, which thinking about it would obviously vary from GL port to GL port. Doh!

Doomsday's node builder ends up with 66603 gl seg's for the map and crashes, only supporting 65356.

I found that -factor 25 can help quite a bit with reducing segs in BSP, though of course the difference won't be as big as it would been if you were previously using ZDBSP or something.

I've been using ZDBSP but I'm not too crazy about it. I pointed DoomBuilder to BSP instead. I'll try this out. Thanks!

[Kirby]

Right, still here, working. I'll be a bit more sluggish since it's finals week over here, but I'll be sure to have something once it's over.

Paura nella citt� dei morti viventi
I don't know what it means beyond that but a translator could help with that part.

Google says "Fear in the City of the Living Dead." Very George Romero-ish.

As for updating, I'm not sure if I'm going to bug you guys during Christmas. I mean, I'm going to be gone every which way, so I'm sure other people will too. Consider it a holiday ;).

[Creaphis]

If I don't have something to show by New Years, then... I won't. But I hope I will.

[KeenKyle]

Sorry i missed the update call im working on remaking the map since i lost the old one but hopefully the new one will be better.

also when is the deadline?

The deadline originally going to be December 23rd, but I think that got pushed to a more indefinite timeframe so quality standards can be better met.

[Necros20]

I was thinking that by Dec 23 you could just release episode 1 if it's completed as sort of a teaser.

[duvel]

Episode 1's still missing 2 maps, so that's a no.

I'm seeing a texture issue in the resource.wad file.

The HEX_RCK1 texture appears to have some black dots in it. I didn't notice it in the editor since DoomBuilder doesn't display the texture thumbnails large enough to see the problem. But when I applied the textures in the game, it was pretty clear when I got somewhat close to walls.

Was this a palette transition problem from Hexen to Heretic? Can this be fixed...?

Fixed.

Let me know if I've FUBAR'D the wad again.

[duvel]

I uploaded it, haven't looked at it yet. If someone has a copy of the last resource.wad you might want to keep it before downloading this one because I accidently wrote over my older copy :(.

Thank you! This fixed it just fine. :)

[CodenniumRed]

I might as well take E1M4. I'll put my other projects on hold to complete "Ice Citadel." I've already begun making it.

[CodenniumRed]

On and E1M6 will be "Scorched Earth." Mark that off too.

[duvel]

E1M4 has someone on it 0_o. Pick another slot.

[Mivalekan]

I'm making a map that I could contribute but I've been working on it in Zdoom (Heretic in Hexen format) in Doom Builder. Every time I try to switch it down to just Heretic I lose all of the custom textures I've used. Is there any way to prevent the textures from disappearing?

[duvel]

Chances are you pasted a lot of those onto the floors. Heretic needs flats for floors and ceilings, not textures, and the two don't intersect at all. If they're being lost on the walls that sounds like a technical issue and I wouldn't know what the fuck the problem is.

Now, for stuff I could tell you about, what slot do you want?

[Mivalekan]

Yeah having textures as flats would be the issue. But don't put me in a slot.

[Mivalekan]

On second thought, put me down for E5M7.

[duvel]

Done.

[CodenniumRed]

Okay than, E1M6 is "Ice Citadel" and the other map will be somewhere in episode 2.
