ZDoom

I tried using HIRESTEX to scale some sprites that I can't scale in DECORATE (because I only want specific ones to be scaled...) and it didn't work. I did like the Wiki said. Also, scaling hi-resolution textures worked fine.
This is a sample of what I'm trying to make smaller.

Did you load crappy lumps before Remap with your HIRES Lumps?

..What?

You can't define sprites like this because the engine doesn't recognize them as sprites. For it this is just textures.

What?
GFXs and Sprites are working very well here.

'define' never created sprites - only textures. The code looking up the sprites doesn't find anything that's not defined as a sprite. Furthermore, the old HIRESTEX commands have been deprecated and won't see any further change. The new TEXTURES commands are much more flexible, better defined and more robust but they require a bit more typing.

I'm using the latest version of GZDoom, and TEXTURES doesn't work. It does say something on the Wiki about "development version only", though, which might explain that.

You mean you're using the latest "official" version of GZDoom. Unofficial (and, I might add, far more up-to-date) SVN builds are readily available for both GZDoom and ZDoom; you can find them here.

This gives me a "bad frame characters" error:

... which is not surprising. ZDoom tries to install that lump as a sprite and fails because it can't match it to any rotation frame for CELLO.

General rule: Don't put non-sprites into the sprites namespace.

Could you add "graphic" as well as "sprite" and "texture" then? CELLICON was never meant to be displayed outside of the HUD.

I'm just going to wait for the next official release of GZDoom. My mod probably won't be done before it, there's a few other upcoming features I'm using already, and my skills with SVN are full suck.

You don't need any SVN skills; the link I provided has the binaries .

Not to be negative, but aren't those versions unstable?

I've been playing and developing mods 100% on SVN builds ever since I learnt how to compile them. :D
