Randomized Tiled Textures

Inspired by this in specific:

Just a silly idea, but it would be interesting and slightly useful. Randomized tiles to make stuff like floors and ceilings look less repetitive and video-game-y without using gigantic textures.

TILEDEF

Code: Select all

tile MYTEX1 //comma and number indicate chance of appearing
MYTEX1, 128
MYTEX2, 128

Ooh! Seems reasonable, but I suppose moving sectors will have to wait, maybe we can be like Quake and just have them move without Rotation for now.

But still, this would be Nice as well!

I believe this is already doable with ZScript access to getting/setting textures: https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom/blo ... ata.zs#L72
One would iterate over Sides in Level, check if a texture id corresponds to a texture that one wants to be randomized, and sometimes replace it with other variant.

Actually, I would love to see this in action. Code should be simple enough, the main problem here is assets, somebody has to draw them.

This is way out of scope for an engine feature. Especially since scripting it is not too hard, even in ACS.

How would this be scriptable?

I'm guessing through this (with "pos" being "floor" or "ceiling")

Obviously you need to tile the sector yourself. Without that it simply cannot ever work. And once you have your tiled sectors it's a simple case of using ACS or ZScript to set the textures you like.
