How Do I Turn Off Bullet Holes?

[Boingo_the_Clown]

My current mod reuses all the standard DooM weapons, but the scorch marks and bullet holes produced in GZDooM are not appropriate to the mod.

I was able to get rid of the scorch marks for the rocket, plasma, and BFG ball simply by cloning them, but the pistol, shotgun and chaingun leave bullet holes.

Is it possible to eliminate the bullet holes without redefining the weapons? I don't want to turn off decals. I just want to get rid of the bullet holes.

The wiki was not helpful to me for this. Does anyone know what I need to do to get rid of the bullet holes?

They're defined by the weapon... you'll have to make a new playerclass to affect the pistol, unfortunately.

Maybe modify hitscan to fire a highspeed invisible projectile that leaves no mark?

What about a quick DECALDEF lump that replaces the bullet chips with invisible graphics (TNT1A0)?

Hey now, you're all sledgehammering.

The default weapons have all their decal info set in DECALDEF -- open it up in zdoom.pk3 and notice the "Generator" sections. Copy that part into a new DECALDEF and change the decal reference to something blank. That'll do the trick.

You write in the console: cl_maxdecals 0

There won't be any decals at all.

Xaser has the best approach to the problem.

I wasn't entirely sure if he wanted all bullet holes gone, or just the ones the player's guns make. If he wants, for instance, monster bullet holes gone too, he'd just need to make sure to take care of those as well if he was redefining the generators.

Tried it.

Worked like a charm.
