Marnetmar Posted December 28, 2014 In the alpha versions of Doom, there's a pretty good amount of regular walls that are marked with this. Anyone know what it was for? 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted December 28, 2014 That's action -1 in signed arithmetics. It was probably meant to be "no action". 0 Share this post Link to post
LogicDeLuxe Posted December 28, 2014 There is one left in E2M7 iIrc. They probably changed their mind during some code optimization and forgot that linedef. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shadow Hog Posted December 28, 2014 Wonder what action 0 was going to be, then? 0 Share this post Link to post
LogicDeLuxe Posted December 29, 2014 Also interesting in Doom 2 v1.666 has many tagged sectors in MAP02 without any action assigned to it. I wonder if they had something in mind with it and ditched it later on. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted December 29, 2014 Giving dummy tags to sectors was a way to make sure DoomEd+DoomBSP would not merge sectors together. So, maybe that? 0 Share this post Link to post
