Slope, ACS and Sector Index issues

[Guardsoul]

The only way I see you can make the roof of your house without OpenGL is using the portals as Vicent has already pointed out but be careful because if portals arent set up properly you will have massive glitches all over the roof and the sky. I think I have a small portal example somewhere, give me a couple of minutes to find it.

EDIT: Here we go: https://www.mediafire.com/?hwbh6u3kfoiesxx For some reason that I dont know, the portal cannot be seen in Zandronum software mode but it works fine in OpenGL and both ZDoom and GZDoom. I´ll submit a ticket just to see if this can be fixed later on.

I think they've changed how the portals are handled from 2.3.x/2.4.x/2.5.x (whatever Zandronum's codebase is now?) to current version. I've had some portals that never worked in Zandronum software but worked in Zandronum OpenGL, ZDoom software and GZDoom OpenGL. Mostly horizontal portals (i.e.: sloped ceiling lowered to the floor, in the second sector sloped floor raised to the ceiling, +some tricks to make moving between those possible).

Hey thanks for trying tho...

EDIT:
got the script working

[Vincent(PDP)]

And dude... Compress your music more. It takes 82 MB of the WAD's 85 MB.

how do I do that?
I kinda don't want too much loss of quality,

Use Audacity. Import them and then export them as .ogg, in the export menu, press the button called "Settings" or "Options". Then set the slider to like 2 or 3.

I made a batch file to auto open my mod,
how do I get it to open as Ultimate Doom automatically?

[Lollipop]

I am not quite sure with zandronum, but zdoom read through the files and see if there is a lump that is named "map01" and such, and if the match happens it knows that is the IWAD it is using. Dunno if this is really the information you need, but now you know at least :P

I suggest using doomseeker singleplayer option though.

[Rcj8993]

Code: Select all

zandronum.exe -file Doom2.wad Doom.wad Capstone_Levels.wad

well this is the batch, it loads the load order, but I don't know how id add the selection of play as ultimate doom into this...

[IdeIdoom]

Uhh, why do you load Doom2 as well if it's only for UltimateDoom ?

[Rcj8993]

I want the monsters

figured it out

Code: Select all

zandronum.exe -file Doom2.wad Doom.wad Capstone_Levels.wad -iwad Doom.wad

my progress so far E1M8 (second to last level)

[Rcj8993]

IS it possible to slope with transfer heights?
im making a sewer runoff but the water wont slant...

[Guardsoul]

Nope, that isnt possible. The only way to do that its with a 3D sloped floor.

[Vincent(PDP)]

I've made slopes with Transfer Heights... But they won't be solid then.

Check it out on my WAD, it's in a kinda round room with lava floor on map02:

[Rcj8993]

thanks, also
lost souls that are placed in or above swimmable water are invisible over the water and can only be seen under that water....
anyway to fix this?

[Rcj8993]

having an issue with 3D sloped floor...
D15A4A1A is what I want the mid texture to be
but its not working, but it worked for transfer heights.
ADDITIONALLY, I don't get any underwater reverb anymore.....
and I move faster underwater than I do on land...

EDIT:
by making the sector effected by transfer heights as well as 3dslopedfloor, I have re enabled the reverb BUT I cant get the
texture to show up when you go under water....
everything is clear as day under there....

[Lollipop]

if you use UDMF format there should be some things in the custom tab, when you edit the dummy sector, don't quite remember what format you are using and I'm short on time ATM.
Try some different things and read some documentation on different underwater effects on the zdoom wiki.

[Rcj8993]

im using zdoom doom as hexen.
and reading the wiki doesn't tell me anything, it just says the only difference between 3d floor and transfer heights is that 3d floor has added transparentcy

[Rcj8993]

ok, still haven't figured out that blend issue....

BUT ive finally figured out how to do the roof,
Slope vertex floor

---

http://i.imgur.com/ZFVdCuI.jpg this is the issue im having now,
not all of the triangular sectors are effected by the Slope vertex floor.....
what do?
also water cant go over slope vertex floors...

and IDK how to eliminate these errors about double defined resources.......

how do I make it so that this switch can only be used after a certain criteria is met (NOT KEY RELATED)
(IE the switch pops out from the floor after all the enemies that have been spawned die... and I don't want my players accidently hitting the switch while its under the floor... )
