Increasing map Drawseg limit?

Post by ArchDornan »

Is this possible in the doom engine? I'm trying to make a fallout 1 tc for doom, making the map I realise that some of the zones are just HOM textured messes.

As far as I know, ZDoom has no drawseg limit anymore.

^ This.

If you're getting HOM, either your nodebuilder is whacked, you're not applying textures to the correct side definitions, or you're not properly closing your sectors.

Sorry, that download host is one of the really bad ones I can't use.

(You can try Sendspace, though, unless someone else beats me to it)

You certainly like to cover all available mapping space. :D
Your map is way too large. Stay within mapping limits.
Spoiler:
Keep your map to 32767 map units (at most) on one axis.
Also, keep close to the 0, 0 coordinate (center of the mapping area).

Ahh shiet. If only there was a way of going back in levels, while retaining stuff you got from levels after it... Otherwise this would be such an easy to do project.

There is. Set your map up to be a hub.

I don't remember if it is a problem in hubs but, if it is, also give inventory items the flag that stops them being reduced to 1 if you are carrying more than 1 of them when you change levels.
