That it is. Unless, of course you use a polygon based renderer with z-buffer. But then you will get other problems with all the hideous rendering tricks that are done in Doom.

Weasel meant getting Vavoom to run in the first place, since it has so many bugs preventing it from running comrtably. Tough I've never encountered them. Vav was always a stable port for me :?

Anyway, 3d slopes and 3d floors in Zdoom would satisfy all my Zdooming needs when it comes to acrhictecture. Sadly, I doubt it will be done soon (if at all that is). Vavoom uses Quake's renderer for Doom. Getting slopes and 3d floors to Zdoom is not that hard but making the engine render them correctly is AFAIK the biggest current problem.

looks like it can be done indeed...

Vavoom has them, I believe, but good luck getting that to run.

come to think of it, is it possible to make slopes AND 3d floors? or 3d slopes?

Jeez. I'd rather play doom.exe on minimum specs for a year than Legacy for 5 minutes.

Yep. And even there the only case I've seen them effectively used is QDoom.

The fourth being EDGE presumably?

There are 4 well-known ports that support 3D floors. 2 are buggy as Hell (Leagcy, VaVoom) and one of the others (Risen3D) is just JDoom with BOOM and 3D floors.

Either can legacy if the corruption in that screenie is anything to go by. ;)

download it and check demo wad in map editor :shock:

by TheDarkArchon » Thu Jun 02, 2005 12:14 pm

Only if you use stacked sectors.

EDIT: And you can't get the first screenie to work: That requires 3D floors and that pretty much requires OpenGL.

But Legacy is the 2nd most buggiest port out there so using it is generally advised against.

is this possible?
