*On Hold*Legend of Zeldoom: Hell in hyrule [PRE-ALPHA v1.1]

[Kinsie]

The map of Hyrule is quite inconsistent with it's framerate, what's the best way to optimize it without deleting anything?

The reason for your framerate issues is that you don't have any one-sided lines blocking the way, meaning that you're often rendering the entire map, including the bits you can't see.

Two things:
1. Is there any way to control engine's draw distance?
2. For some reason I get the biggest drops when I either look in the sky or on the floor (from 200fps to ~130fps).

1.) Yeah... add one-sided lines to your map. Supposedly a draw distance thing has been toyed with for the next version of GZDoom, but odds are it will be a player option, not a modder one.

The problem is that, except for the Lost Woods, it would probably be best if you could see into the next section. Are there ways to get it to only make them work if you're seeing them through another one, as in "Half one sided lines"?

I mean, it's not like you could in the original game.

[Batandy]

Well the original game tried to present a seamless overworld experience, you can see that by the screen transitions, so hiding the next areas would not look good i think.

I don't think there's much you can do to improve the framerate without having to modify the map, you could try splitting the map in two, adding fog to hide the furthest areas and then doing a Half Life style loading in the middle of the maps.

[Arctangent]

To be honest, though, I'm kinda confused as to why it's such a big deal to just make most of the rock walls one-sided. They're meant to be impassible barriers anyhow, so they're the perfect sort of thing for this.

Oh, that's an idea. You can only see forward when looking through the tunnels then, right? I was thinking invisible one-sideds between each zone, not the walls themselves.

[Cherno]

I was wondering if the regular Doom enemies are going to be replaced with those from LoZ? They are very low-res but that's the charm with 8-bit games, I guess. They only have four drawn angles but they are drawn as if they are viewed from a first person perspective instead of an overhead view so theyx could be used right out of the box

-Level-6 and 7 will now be open

Again, sorry for the lack of updates

By the way , for improving the fps, what about having less bushes in the overworld ?
You could still have the closest to the player bushes to be displayed as things still , but changing the deeper ones into textures of bushes or a big thing with a lot of bushes as a sprite.

This should improve the fps in the overworld
