That happens a lot on the vanilla maps. I'll eventually do maps specifically for the mod that caters to the main characters being really tall/slower and really short/faster. Think of Rise of the Triad and how there were a couple of areas you could only access if you were Lorelei Ni.XanderK9 wrote:Considering he's 6' 3", I had to crouch to be able to access the exit of MAP01 of Doom 2, but that's just a small inconvenience.
Aside of this, good job this far!
As there isn't any clean way to do that, no. The mod is eventually supposed to have its own specific maps anyway; having to "cheat" (crouch for one of the two characters) is more of an artifact of development at this point that'll be resolved in the futurecomet1337 wrote:shouldnt you then make the player size changes in the specific maps instead of the main mod, as it breaks / forces people to cheat on vanilla maps
Why? One would have to test every single vanilla levels and apply a specific parameter to them if there's a problem and that's even if it's possible. Besides, let's say it's possible, not only it will present inconsistencies to the character itself (unless he's able to shrink like Alice), but that will also apply such "fixes" to non-vanilla levels since they share the same names.comet1337 wrote:shouldnt you then make the player size changes in the specific maps instead of the main mod, as it breaks / forces people to cheat on vanilla maps

Because Damian's viewport would no longer make sense if I didn't change his ThingHeight. The camera begins scraping the ceiling in many areas in Vanilla Doom if viewheight is adjusted upward at all. Thusly, if I'm going to do it at all, I might as well do it in the most "correct" way I can. If crouching is really a problem for you, the second playable character will be more your taste anyway -- even though the mod isn't meant for vanilla Doom.Zhs2 wrote:Why not just not change the player's actual height but instead simulate such a thing by merely setting a new view height (and AttackZOffset to match)? Guncaster does this and breaks no maps.
