ZDoom

This one was also minor - but it still cost me 15 minutes to see that the script had a hard coded 6 key limit.

[quote="Graf Zahl"]Yet another SBARINFO problem. I don't know what I was thinking when I replaced the C-coded Doom statusbar with Blzut3's SBARINFO replacements. This is not the first problem it caused but it is certainly the last I'm trying to address.[/quote]
You won't even let me address it before you go reverting it? If I recall correctly all of the other problems were fairly minor (and one of them that you claimed to be a problem on my part happened to be a problem with the D3D code).

Grrrr.

Those graphics you're talking, you are talking about the tiny ones on the Status bar, not the ones that appear on the op of the screen, right? If so it would be pointless to change is, as DE wont be using the old Status bar after i finish up the new HUD graphics.

But have the new limit of only 6 keys being shown on the top of the full-screen is probably the problem.

Can't check ATM but I have a funny feeling that those additional key graphic names may even go back to the days of BOOM when line types that could be activated by card/skull only first appeared and it therefore became important to show that you were carrying both.

Name=summonkeys
Command=summon redcard; wait 35; summon bluecard; wait 35; summon yellowcard; wait 35; summon redskull; wait 35; summon blueskull; wait 35; summon yellowskull; wait 35; summon blackskull; wait 35; summon whiteskull; wait 35; summon greenskull

[quote="Eriance"]Was this a recent change?[/quote]
It's been here as long as I remember; of course I'm not exactly an old-timer around these parts but still... GZDoom 1.0.26 and 1.1.6 do it already.

Here, put that in your [Doom.ConsoleAliases] ini section:
[code]Name=summonkeys
Command=summon redcard; wait 35; summon bluecard; wait 35; summon yellowcard; wait 35; summon redskull; wait 35; summon blueskull; wait 35; summon yellowskull; wait 35; summon blackskull; wait 35; summon whiteskull; wait 35; summon greenskull[/code]
Now grab an old version of GZDoom from [url=http://grafzahl.drdteam.org/gzdoom/archive/bin/]here[/url] and play Demon Eclipse with it. Summon the keys, and look how once you pick both the skull and the card of the same color, they magically turn into a green, white or black card.

The only behavior difference I see between 1.0.26 and the r322 is that in the full-screen, non-alternative HUD, the number of keys displayed in the corner is limited to 6 now, and so it displays the six most recently acquired. If I pick the DE skulls first, and then pick all the classic keys, then it's the new skulls that disappear.

[quote="Gez"]Another thing: for the original status bar, ZDoom uses custom graphics STKEYS6, 7 and 8 to represent having both a skull and a card of the same color (6-blue, 7-yellow, 8-red). In your mod those graphics are used respectively for green, white and black key cards.[/quote]

Was this a recent change? I thought Zdoom used the same graphics as the ones in Doom2 wad; STKEYS0-5? Still doesn't explain why the original keys are not showing up. If i replaced the graphics, then when picking up an original key, it should appear as one of the new keys; it doesn't. No HUD element is displayed what so ever for the originals.

[quote="Graf Zahl"]No. But I need to check this. Which DE version are you talking about. I have no desire to search for it so a link to the precise WAD that causes the problem would be appreciated.[/quote]

It doesn't matter, all the version should cause the same problem. Since i haven't touched the LOCKDEF in any version since I remade EP1.

I presume it's the private working copy.

The link to the last available version is [wiki=Demon Eclipse]on the wiki page[/wiki]. With it, I can half-confirm it: the regular fullscreen hud only displays six keys, so some of them disappear -- but that's the last six picked up, so it might be the DE keys that disappear. And the alternative hud works normally.

No. But I need to check this. Which DE version are you talking about. I have no desire to search for it so a link to the precise WAD that causes the problem would be appreciated.

[quote="Graf Zahl"]Need the WAD to test. I suspect a problem with the LOCKDEFS lump, too.[/quote]

Was the LOCKDEF's updated recently?

Need the WAD to test. I suspect a problem with the LOCKDEFS lump, too.

Checked the hud and althud and both are working for me. All 6 keys show up in both modes.

You didn't reset the LOCKDEFS, I hope?
If all else fails, I'd just redo them anyway. You'll have better control of the keys that way.
