How to offset voxels ?

[Kappes Buur]

While it is easy to apply an offset to a sprite



is there a way to apply an offset to a voxel ?

[The Zombie Killer]

You would probably need to edit the voxel itself, as there doesn't appear to be any form of "ZOffset" setting in VOXELDEF.

..... as there doesn't appear to be any form of "ZOffset" setting in VOXELDEF.

Yup, I noticed that, hence I am asking. But thanks anyway.

I downloaded an app named kvxoffset. However, it is to be run from the command line and there is no help attached to it,
or any kind of documentation.

Does anyone have some experience with this app ?

kvxoffset is for auto-offsetting a voxel to be on the floor, as far as I know it doesn't allow custom offsetting.

[Kappes Buur]

So, exactly the opposite to what I would like to achieve.

Thanks, again.

I think it should be a feature suggestion!

You can change the z-offset of a voxel object in 2 steps:
1. In Doombuilder set the Z-Offset of the thing (voxel).
2. In your decorate entry you need the add the "+NOGRAVITY" tag to the object.

1. right, you can give the voxel a z-offset, but as soon as the level starts the voxel falls to the floor.
2. since the voxel just replaces the sprite, there should be no DECORATE involved.

Open it in slab6 and move the origin down?

That was my very first thought. However, Slab6 does not work on my system. The mouse is going crazy.
While MagicaVoxel works very well, I doesn't let me save anything.

Since you are suggesting Slab6, I take it, that something within VOXELDEF is not possible.

You can't even run it in DOSBox?

If you manage to get SLAB6 working, you can check out this tutorial I made that shows how to offset voxels in SLAB6.

I finally have Slab6 running in a state where I can do something with the voxels.
