ZDoom

SHADOWS! Please.

Oh, I forgot that gzdoom 2.0 is not working anymore.

I hope Graf is touching this code so bad ;--;

What kind of cats you been livin' with? I hope you kept the receipt on those things, cuz that's about two lives too short.

The fact that Graf commented on this to make a joke about the cat instead of saying "No" gives me hope. And warm fuzzies inside. :wub:

[quote="Graf Zahl"]What?
You want me to implement a cat in ZDoom?
I'm afraid, that's not possible! :mrgreen::twisted:[/quote]

Of course! Why not? A Cat in ZDoom would be very nice, you can die 7 times per single-player match, do high jumps, propel in walls to do parkour and things of the kind :D

Oh no, cat's eyes have failed, you human? D:

It could be nice too if the inverse could happen too, a floor/ceiling/wall can only be affected only by a single dynamic light

[quote="Graf Zahl"]How about adding a bitmask property to linedefs, sector planes and light things (both map placed and attached to other actors, so that lights get discarded if both bitmasks ANDed together are not 0? That'd give mappers some control over certain parts of the map that get excluded by certain dynamic lights[/quote]

Since we're unlikely to get actual shadow-casting, this seems like a reasonable in-between at least for static level lights. Thoughts?
