WadAuthor and slope things

[The Ultimate DooMer]

Okay, WA is messing me around with slope things - first it says that one slope thing is another (I'd added the slope things from an up-to-date wcf a while back so the wcf looked like this)

Code: Select all

0x251C  18  10  fatbb5  Line thing, floor  *( lineid, -, -, -, - )
0x251D  18  10  fatbb5  Line thing, ceiling *( lineid, -, -, -, - )
0x251E  18  10  fatbb5  Tilt sector, floor *( angle, -, -, -, - )
0x251F  18  10  fatbb5  Tilt sector, ceiling *( angle, -, -, -, - )
0x2526  18  10  fatbb5  Copy floor slope *( tag, -, -, -, - )
0x2527  18  10  fatbb5  Copy ceiling slope *( tag, -, -, -, - )
9500  18   8   puffb0  Slope floor to here( lineid, -, -, -, - )
9501  18   8   puffb0  Slope ceiling to here( lineid, -, -, -, - )
9502  18   8   puffb0  Set floor slope( z-angle, -, -, -, - )
9503  18   8   puffb0  Set ceiling slope( z-angle, -, -, -, - )
9510     18   8    puffb0  Copy floor plane( tag, -, -, -, - )
9511     18   8    puffb0  Copy ceiling plane( tag, -, -, -, - )

and when I take the new ones out (leaving just the 9500-9511 ones) I can't choose a tid for copy ceiling/floor plane. I have acc 1.31 too.

Can someone put up the correct ones please?

this is from my wcf which has been error free since uh... forever : P

Code: Select all

0x251C  18      10      fatbb5          Line Thing, Floor  *( line_id, -, -, -, - )
0x251D  18      10      fatbb5          Line Thing, Ceiling *( line_id, -, -, -, - )
0x251E  18      10      fatbb5          Tilt Sector, Floor *( angle, -, -, -, - )
0x251F  18      10      fatbb5          Tilt Sector, Ceiling *( angle, -, -, -, - )
0x2526  18      10      fatbb5          Copy Floor Slope *( sector id, -, -, -, - )
0x2527  18      10      fatbb5          Copy Ceiling Slope *( sector id, -, -, -, - )

oh, and in the [Things.Classes] block you need:

Code: Select all

0x012	0x0001	192	192	128	Slope Things

I've got the thing class in like that (except I have 0x0000 and different colours) but something's seriously up with it. When I chose Copy Ceiling Slope (sector_id, etc.) it reverted to Copy ceiling plane. When I chose Slope floor to here it immediately became Line Thing, Floor. When I went back into the thing class box, I was unable to set any arguments for any of the slope things.

It's almost like that wcf bug that came a while back when we were trying to add new specials and WA was freezing out half the linedef types, but I've never known it happen with things before (especially as I'm adding new ones all the time - 48 decorate things altogether now)

UltimateD, do you still have all of the entries shown in your example? That's bound to be a problem because they are duplicates.

9500 = 251C and so forth. You should either use the decimal numbers only or the hex numbers only.

I vaguely remember that bug you mention, something was messed up in a .wcf file so that menu boxes were blanked out. Didn't we find a single offending line that conflicted with another entry, or....???

[Cyb]

well if there's no * before the thing name then the boxes will be blanked out

[The Ultimate DooMer]

It is like that bug, as after I've copied the specials in from Cyb's file they work fine, but once I modify any part of them (even the name) they go all screwy and refuse to take args.

Edit: at least I thought it was before Cyb beat me to it...

Anyway, I've got it working now, thanks people.

Thanks leha, that shows how good (not) my memory is.
