Why does my interpic tile?

[SonicIce]

the pic was a regular 320x200 bitmap in doom palette. the problem happens in zdoom, gzdoom, and skulltag.

Try as I may

- bigger than 320x200
- smaller than 320x200
- non-power-of-2
- bmp
- png
- zdoom, gzdoom, skulltag

it always comes out properly rendered. So it's not the port engine.

That leaves three possibilities:
1. your game installation.
2. the image itself, although I cannot see how.
3. your videocard.

This certainly doesn't help you any, but for being in the Doom palette, that interpic is amazing.

I do have an idea though: does the INTERPIC lump fall between any lump markers? Could MAPINFO have any bearing in this problem?

I kind of like it this way. It reminds me of how my computer's desktop looked fifteen years ago.

That would be it. If an in-game texture is used for the interpic it's supposed to be tiled (like Heretic's flat background.)

Put it outside any map markers and it should behave as expected.

thanks for the replies. do you mean move it out from between PP markers? that didn't work. i moved it to the beginning and end of the list in xwe and still didn't work.

[Reisal]

Move it outside of any markers.

If you were using XWE, it probably added it to the PNAMES and TEXTURE1 lump. Could that pose a problem too? Also I was unaware of the ability to apply textures to an intermission pic. However I don't find it particularly very useful.

[SonicIce]

ok there i tried it again and it worked. thanks :D

You may not but since for flats it's a Heretic feature some rules have to be defined where tiling starts and fullscreen ends. Saying it tiles for in-game textures seemed like the most logical choice.

I suppose this one is the most likely explanation.
