Cosmetic Doom 1.8 is up!

[jimbob]

The one thing I have noticed, though, is that the light 'flares' for the small lamp posts seem to be placed slightly above the actual sprite. I don't know if that makes sense to you or if it's just a problem on my end but I've tried it on a couple of computers with both ZDoom and GZDoom and it occurs on all of them.

This still happens in 1.4. I tried to fix the height of the spawned lensflare, but could no get the flare to spawn in the correct postion.

couple of remarks:

Imp projectile is too big and has very crude tail effect. A visual offender for me
the fake lens flare on the torches is totally overdone.
plasma projectile is more like a stream not individual balls.
rocket impact looks not good.
spider plasma has weird shape and looks oddly static.

Is this the lamp post you speak of?

[jimbob]

Yes, this.

This is highly susceptible to sprite clipping adjustment settings.

Usually i play with the 'smarter' sprite clip setting. With Cosmetic Doom it looks like as you can see in the pictures.
I also tried the other sprite clip modes and in none of them the lens flare really fits. Most of the time it ends on top of the lamp post sprite.

[DecemberMan]

Yes, this.

Can you tell me what maps are these, so I can check it out?

Map 01 and Map 03 from this megawad. http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/5 ... r-testing/

Ok, I checked these out. Sorry, but I have absolutely no idea why this is happening for you. I was experimenting with settings and the only time, when I was close to replicating this bug, is when I set the sprite clipping adjustment to never. But, as you say, you have it set to smart, and with smart it looks the best on my PC. I'll look for some help.

[jimbob]

Maybe you can check Doom Expanded or Particle Fire Enhancer. The flares in these mods are fine for me.

This works perfectly with the 'smart' clipping mode. What do you have changed ?

With the 'smarter' clipping mode, the flares are still a bit out of place (below the intended spot), but no flares over the head of the lamp sprites anymore. Thanks.

The lights are a great improvement. Well done.

Do you think you'll have time to update the individual builds at all? No worries if you can't, I still appreciate your work. It's a perma-load for me regardless.

Just tweaked the numbers a bit. Great to hear it works.

I will update them, don't worry.

Updated and uploaded.
