Fixed using the suggested sprite renaming technique.

If that happened I'd stalk out his Inbox.

maybe this is related to that strife ammo poll in the diting forum

It only becomes noticable at all when you use the cheat codes, so I dont think it should be changed in any way. The only way to completely avoid it through remapping the sprite names, is for Randy to include sprites for all the conflicting items inside zdoom.wad itself, which would send the file size up a large amount (not to mention step on copyright issues, for whatever thats worth.)

Well, actauly what I ment to say was, In hexen, because there is already a known conflict with the mauler, the cheat mode shouldn't give you one. And visa versa in any other game with a similer bug. Using the weapons and items in mods shouldnt be effected, it's only when conflicts are apparent in the normal game (cheating or otherwise) that should be "fixed".

if he makes some sorta "script" that sorta "renames" each sprite some way
like when it reads the sprite is there, it thinks its called something else like bfg_one and then if used in heretic it would be bfg_two and so on

Randy added new sprites for the Hexen flechettes so you can use all three in a game and they'll all show up in the inventory with different graphics. Perhaps he can do this for the questionable Strife graphics as well.

I do remember though that the Iron Lich and the cacodemon use the same frames, and a DeH can easily fix that. However, that won't work if you're playing with Strife weapons in Hexen, so...

Bah, this makes this weapon utterly useless. Something has to be done about this!

Now if it could just make weapons. Or allow you to put an arbitrary sprite sequence in for an existing weapon without using up a bunch of code pointers.

by **Nanami** » Tue Dec 02, 2003 12:25 pm

It can make standard objects, breakable objects, fake pickup items, and projectiles. =)

How so? You wouldn't require each type, just the ones you want different from the main 'sprite' base.

Plus, it'd allow new things to use a large number of sprites by specifying them like that instead of ones that already span multiple base names by only replacement.

Of course this is currently a moot point since there's only two types of things DECORATE can make right now (standard objects and projectiles, no monsters yet).

by **Graf Zahl** » Tue Dec 02, 2003 3:32 am

I think that would be a little bit of overkill...

by **Chris** » Mon Dec 01, 2003 10:28 pm

I agree that this is the best solution in the current situation. There is one additional thing to consider: Some items (e.g. Hexen's Centaur) use two sprite names because they have too much frames. There should be an option to replace them selectively

That could be one way. But also, depending on how those frames are set, you could some something like:

Code: Select all

sprite  SPRT  # set default sprite
deathsprite  DSPR  # use this when dying
attacksprite # ect
idlesprite # ect
walksprite # ect
# ect...

Well, Other then That
