Well, as all available wadauthor config files seem to be ancient at least (ok, as the program itself, but I still prefer it), I took the liberty to browse the action sprecials area and create a (more or less) up to date config file. ( I hope) DOC: 2008-10-20 It already contains the newest action ...

Well, I think I reached a dead end with my most recent project. For almost 3 month I didn't do much on it, just fixing stuff, but no development since then. :( This forum is filled with people with good ideas, so maybe someone might give me a hint. (You know, sometimes it just takes a little push to ...

Heh... "You don't need a key to open this door"

Huh

Additionally this totally prevents a mapper from creating 'slow' doors that monsters can *NOT* activate! I had lots of problems with monsters closing doors they were never supposed to and getting stuck in the process - all caused by this special behavior of door linedefs. Yepp. Very annoying ...

Hi. How do I log in with a specific user set date? My browser fucked up (crash) after i logged in.After the restart i logged in again and didn't have any new messages. So the forum software marked everything read. So far, so bad. But now I'd like to log in with the *real* date of my last login ...

Can I get all the info in the Wiki in a single download? I can't get online very much, except at school, and I don't like having to DL every individual page that I need. Is this possible? you could try wget: http://space.tin.it/computer/hherold/ for ms-dos/windows binaries http://wget.sunsite.dk ...

No, just kidding. I just pretty much make up the map layout on the spot. No pre-thought required. Just draw a room, detail it, add some monsters and decorations, and move on to the next room, detail it, add monsters and decorations, etc., etc. ... Yep. That's how I do it .. or used to do, before my ...

1) The DB script having no find function means that it's HARDER to locate NAMED scripts. Stop using a crappy script editor then. :P He really should. My acs scripting looks like this: http://kai-n.gmxhome.de/test/ (including a named script example) 8-) And all the scripts are just one doubleclick ...

Yeah yeah, I know, more ACS feature requests. Hopefully these two will be easy though. Okay, we already have Light_Stop, which is great for killing a light effect and starting another on cue. Now how about the same with the other two types of sector actions, Ceilings and Floors? Hmm.... You could ...

I would like to know is it possible to make monster walk normal on ZDOOM bridges? Thanx Wish they would. I use many of bridge things (either on bridges or fake floors) but I've never seen a monsters walk over. If used on a long floor with another floor crossing below the monsters stop chasing you ...

However I'm not speaking of maps that are large in area, I'm talking about maps with lots of detail (which requires lots of sidedefs, and thus lots of segs). For instance a map I'm working on right now has nearly 12400 sidedefs but the area of the map is roughly 8000x4500 (and I estimate I'm around ...

Like HotWax said, there's no reason for a level to be that big. Just make a hub. If you make an enormous level like that, it'll just be slow. Not only slow ... it might become extremely buggy too. My current project used to be very big and suddenly very strange things happened. (crushers and doors ...

My only qualm with XWE is the fact that what you do is permenent which is very fatal in some cases... XWE supports multiple backups, so I don't see any problems with that. You can always return to an earlier version. (My current project has ... hmmm .... 17 backup copies created by xwe.) That's why ...

Nay.

It's 1.1, 1.2, 1.3,1.4,1.5,........1.38,1.39,1.40

It's a version/revision count, just separated by dot. It's not
a decimal count as in numbers.

But these days nobody seems to give a shit bout proper version/revision declaration anyway

But not when the line has a Polyobj_ExplicitLine special (unless this special allows setting a line id simultaneously.) No, you're right. I was solving a problem that wasn't being discussed :oops: :) Hmmm .. I guess the only solution would be a texture which kinda looks like glass and is see-thru ...
