Heard bad things about the weapon system in Dark Cloud.... like broken weapons disappearing and stuff.

A Short Map Called "Cyanide" (Cianuro in Spanish)

That's an awful lot of lighting! I quite like those sloped LITE5 ceiling fixtures though.

[Nightfall]

Showcasing: Yet another random map that will probably never be finished!

Looking good Bomber!

It seems excessively dark.

Yeah, Doom 3 called, you're making it jealous.

That is an interesting red lift though.

Been working on a level-up/achievement script for Tactical Doom, to help attract CoD players and players who like meaningless gold stars and empty rewards when they play.

Thanks! There's a subtle reason that I picked those specific monsters.

Woo, I like that. Particularly the subtle shine on the floor.

I see no such thing

Look at the areas under the skylight. The areas around it are only slightly darker (light diffusion), so it creates a look of shininess rather than an insane level of brightness (as if daylight only travels in straight lines, which some mappers unfortunately sem to think).

I think you could blame how the engine works for that instead of the mappers.

Does your version of Doom tell you how to draw sector lighting?

Does your version of Doom tell you how to draw sector lighting?

If you're dealing with a port without light transfer/light sloping, yes, actually. If you have a light source from above, you really have no choice but to have it come straight down. Otherwise, if you were to try to have the light area on the floor be bigger than the area that the light source covers, you would end up lighting the area on the ceiling surrounding the light source as well.

If you're dealing with horizontal light sources on the other hand, you can shape the sector to have light cast out in rays instead of being straight forward like a laser.


If dealing with something like ZDoom though, it doesn't matter, since these restrictions don't apply.
