    How do I make a line horizon? (DBX-MBF21)

    Create a sector that only contains the horizon lines, then lower its ceiling to 1 map unit (or a height below your viewpoint)

    I'm not sure what I'm supposed to look at. If you tried applying line special 1080 on a double sided linedef, it wouldn't produce the infinite horizon effect.

    By the way, when I mention ZDoom, I meant the ZDoom family of source ports. Stuff like GZDoom, LZDoom, VKDoom

    Weird. Normally it looks like this to me: Pictured: Woof! 12.0.0

    Let's take a look at how it works: ZokumBSP adds some new line specials that let you manipulate how walls are rendered. What we're using is this: By rotating the wall 180 degrees, the visible face of the wall is now facing away from you. What this means is that now there's no wall to overlay over the floor, making it seem infinite. It is purely visual, so no you can't summon John Carmack through your screen and have him bitchslap you for abusing his engine if you walk into the wall. This only works on software mode though. I don't know how well it works on OpenGL ports. (like GLBoom+) If you wanna see more cool ZokumBSP special linedefs, check this out: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zokum-no/zokumbsp/master/doc/zokumbsp.txt

    Here's a WAD that displays the effect in use. I can't share the WAD in the image since that's an incomplete map of mine. infinitegrass.zip

    Huh, weird. Check what node builder and source port you're using. Try rebuilding nodes or slightly moving a linedef. I heard you could use line special 242 instead, but I've never dove deep into Boom's stuff, so I don't know how.

    An excerpt from a private discord chat of me describing how it works in vanilla: ZokumBSP has additional line specials that it adds. By flipping the wall 180 degrees, the wall becomes invisible, and the floor goes on, creating a horizon effect. ZDoom "fixes" the issue, and it cuts off the horizon. sad
  9. 09 - The map has some UMAPINFO stuff (MAPINFO if you use ZDoom ports) that triggers after you kill an enemy, so your port probably doesn't support it. 10 - Yeah that's a problem. 17 - At first I was confused about the secrets being inaccessible but then I remembered about the Barons you have to kill to progress. Could be chalked up to source port not supporting new age tech again.
