ZDoom

Depending on the computer, that might slow things down a bit (or a lot), especially with rapid-fire weapons like a chaingun or a minigun.

GZDoom's dynamic light code isn't very optimized...

Hah, if an actor bleeds chunks of flame in GZDoom, it would then be appropriate for those chunks of flame to have their own dynamic lights.

Thanks. Are you also considering adding parameters to control the offset of the railgun as I suggested here? Just a few logistical things, nothing fancy, I think.

You can start here.
There's Template:SVNCode already.

Bah someone stole my idea.

Yes, that's correct.

OK, hopefully I understood that. Please verify that the description on this page is correct:

The default is not to translate the blood anyway. You only need this flag if you are doing something special with the blood that might get affected by translations. This is more likely when replacing Blood globally. As long as you control everything you won't need this flag.

I imagine +DONTTRANSLATE would go to the custom blood actor.

A useful example would be to make a FlameDemon that bleeds yellow without the game engine affecting the flame chunks' translation.

by **Graf Zahl** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 8:16 am

It's a real flag that has to be used like all other flags. A_SpawnItem will also not transfer a translation if it is set.

Question on DONTTRANSLATE:

Is this a flag added for this particular property? i.e. would this work:

BloodType "FlameChunk" "FlameSplatter" DONTTRANSLATE

Or is this a separate flag that goes on its own line? If so, what does it affect?

Would this be correct?

No. replacesBlood is not a keyword, it's just a placeholder.

Code: Select all

actor FlameDemon : Demon
{
BloodType "FlameChunk"
}

would be correct.
