Just to tell you, you shouldn't add Doom 1 AND Doom 2 as resources, cause they each have different textures. You'll end up with missing textures when you play, so if you want Doom 1 textures, you'll ahve to export them, and then add them to your PWAD.

GWAH-

OH MY GOD. THERE'S MORE LINE THAN FLOOR.

Somehow I just love the outright simplicity here. Keep going.

Just plain "MOON".

Well thanks stewboy for that action, looks like that's my bet. Problem is I worked it into a script, and it isn't working exactly right. It won't move down, it just clicks and stays in place.

script 3 (void)
{
if (GetSectorFloorZ(12,0,0) < -7)
    Elevator_RaiseToNearest(12,20);
else
    Elevator_LowerToNearest(12,20);
}

It's most likely something wrong with the 'if' line, but I don't see what.

And sorry GreyGhost, I'm sticking with ZDoom.

I'm trying to make an elevator that can move up and down by using the sector (ala Duke Nukem 3D), but using two Sector Actions things won't work, even when deactivating them. Is there any script command that can check the height of the floor, then move the elevator accordingly?

Thanks!

Yeah, i just started to making a new map in the same theme. But it will take me for ever to make 9 maps. I could use some help with mapping. As for making custom wads with new map names, music, titlescreen and stuff. That's way beyond my skills... I just know how to make a map :P

If someone is interested, just shout!

Hmm... It could be in my interest. SHOUT.

First map?

Jesus Christ. Good start man.

If you're mapping for ZDoom-supported ports, make a MAPINFO lump in your wad. This is a textbased lump.

First, you tell it to clear all previous episodes (reccomended) then, start defining your episode. IF you wanted your episode to be called "Oh deary me" and have it start on Map11, this should be your code.

clearepisodes

episode MAP11
name "Oh deary me"

I'm pretty sure that's what it is.


http://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO/Episode_definition

There's the wiki page for Episode defining.

Wow... now that's quality.

I only played till I died about three times, then noclipped to see what I was missing, and I really like this! The looks and textures all come together well, monsters are properly placed together, and to me, the small hallways provide cover and panic.

If I had to suggest anything, it be that inescapable pits are annoying, and try working in some Deaf monsters too maybe.

Well I'd like to but, the download link doesn't seem to work. D:

Thank you very much, I'll study this as needed.

Well, do you have any idea how it did this? Or somewhere I could find this out? The ZDoom wiki isn't helping me in this aspect.

I've seen some skins in wads where a whole new sprite set is used for when the person is just standing still, rather than just freeze them in an awkward running position. I'd like to know if this is possible with just skins (and if so, how to do it?) or if I need to create an entire player class to get this effect.

hexn11rp.exe Is the one I should be looking at right?

Although, annoying clicking those downloads brings me to Atomic Gamer which doesn't appear to have it either.

EDIT: Found it somewhere, but how the hell does this thing work?

Got the problem done through IRC help.

Well I would have said that the floors and ceilings around it were raised and lowered but you said no....
... Something with middle textures.

If Earthquake doesn't reply with one I can do one.

Yeh, go for it.

What I'd do is make a Middle texture, and place Bridge Pieces all throughout it. You can't walk through them but you can shoot through them, and go over them.

So, is Earthquake coming back? =P

Do we have to guess the engine the author made the trick in, then? :S Since things are done differently in different engines.

Well on that base of questions, I guess it'd be better stuck to "can this be done in X engine?" Rather than "What engine was this done in?"

Spleen said:

I'm assuming (hoping) these tricks will be limited to things that are doable in Vanilla

Well I hope they won't be limited to that but, it will be popular.

Correct, now your question is up.

Basically how this works, is you propose a screenshot or scenario, and a question to go with it, then someone answers it. Whoever gets the correct answer, makes up the next question. I'll start, with something simple.



Notice that the floor is lit, but the ceiling is not. Is this possible in Vanilla Doom? If so, how?

If you can't seem to work something in you wanted to do, I always consider making something different entirely, and usually it works out.

I see, well if that's my only choice then I guess I just have to find the most accurate enemies wad.
