Added.

Maybe because it needs another sector (2 to be precise) for each railing?

That is needless geometry that adds up in large maps.

Why not just:
another sector, 242 (209 in Z-mode) and a mid texture with y = -someNumber

Sounds like a fairly easy way to give a useful function to the mapper.

Then an ACS option still would be useful.

/* Heh, heh */
Design a new map format :p

None. That's the problem. It's a Strife flag that's inaccessible in the other games because the flag word is full.

Variable height for railings without using the bridge things or Boom tricks? Oh yeah...

And what's the flag in the doom editor that needs to be set for railing?

by Risen » Fri May 13, 2005 11:24 am

Yes, please!

Since Strife's railing flag can't be accessed in the other games, how about this:

Code: Select all

		case PCD_SETLINEBLOCKING:
			{
				int line = -1;

				while ((line = P_FindLineFromID (STACK(2), line)) >= 0)
				{
					switch (STACK(1))
					{
					case BLOCK_NOTHING:
						lines[line].flags &= ~(ML_BLOCKING|ML_BLOCKEVERYTHING|ML_RAILING);
						break;
					case BLOCK_CREATURES:
					default:
						lines[line].flags &= ~(ML_BLOCKEVERYTHING|ML_RAILING);
						lines[line].flags |= ML_BLOCKING;
						break;
					case BLOCK_EVERYTHING:
						lines[line].flags &= ~(ML_RAILING);
						lines[line].flags |= ML_BLOCKING|ML_BLOCKEVERYTHING;
						break;
					case BLOCK_RAILING:
						lines[line].flags &= ~(ML_BLOCKEVERYTHING);
						lines[line].flags |= ML_RAILING|ML_BLOCKING;
						break;
					}
				}

				sp -= 2;
			}
			break;
Of course Strife's lower side hack should be restricted to Strife then (and best to non-Hexen format maps as well!)
