Nope.

There's a user-side setting that makes dynamic lights clipped by 1-sided lines, and that's all. In any case, this is outside of the editor's bailiwick.

One-sided walls block light, two-sided ones don't. Alternatively you can place negative light as a shadow.

Is there a good reason why I got an error when using this as a state label in ZScript?

1BangDie:

:?:

I have an enemy set up so that when it dies it can release 1, 2 or 3 explosions, each with a different state lable (1BangDie: 2BangDie: 3BangDie:).

This "error" was enough to stop parsing of everything beyond and UDB threw up 500 DECORATE and ZScript errors. The specific error was that sprite names should be exactly 4 characters long and that there was an error on a line (line 62 specifically) and it quoted "1BangDie" as the error.

GZDoom played fine with the actor loaded (no errors reported) and it worked as expected.

I changed the labels to read BangDie1: (2 and 3) and the errors shifted on a few lines and then quoted

1BangBurn:

You've guessed it, the enemy has a burn death and it can also release 1, 2 or 3 explosions.

I renamed those states to BangBurn1: (2 and 3) and all the errors magically went away.

I changed absolutely nothing else about the enemy except that names of the state labels.

So, is there anything in particular I should know about that means UDB doesn't like state labels that begin with a digit?

Awww, that sucks. Why isn't there a UDMF field I can use to disable lighting or something?

There is a Render type option, too. But there is no useful for my purpose. Like "no-dyn-lighting"

For the INTERMAP in Blade of Agony we currently suffer a very strange issue. The INTERMAP crashes in UDB as soon as you draw or change geometry. I attached the crash log and the relevant map can be found here. We have no idea since when this is happening and also no idea what's causing this.

Map: https://github.com/Realm667/WolfenDoom/ ... TERMAP.wad
Report:
The attachment GZCrash.txt is no longer available
I found out something new about this error, maybe it helps. After deleting the INTERMAP.DBS file, I was able to load the map and start editing, no crashes, no problems, everything works fine. As soon as I save the map, it continues working even though the new INTERMAP.DBS is generated and present. Next thing I tried is only closing the map, not closing UDB, opening it again with the INTERMAP.DBS settings. As soon as I move a vertice, the problem occurs again. Here is the error code:

I also attached the corresponding .DBS file, maybe that helps solving the mystery.

We could imagine a GZDoom feature request for a UDMF flag that would disable dynamic light on a surface, but it wouldn't prevent the dynamic light from affecting other things (like nearby sprites) and it would also affect dynamic lights on the "front" side, not just those from behind the wall.

It's a question of performances. Clipping lights is computationally expensive. That's why it's a user setting, and why it's limited. Assuming modern civilization survives, in 20 years when all graphic cards are RTX, that will no longer be a problem, but for now we already have enough people complaining that GZDoom doesn't run on their 1993-vintage 386DX40 running on MS-DOS 6.2.

About the issue on INTERMAP, we have fiddle with it long time ago and still the problem has not been solved, just workarounded somehow... Like Torm did, I also did my brainstorming upon it, leaving this here which could be of use for devs possibly.

I'm trying to set up some "things filters" in UDB and I wondered, is there a quick way to set up a filter which is basically "show me all things except monsters" (and perhaps vice versa too)?

Filter by category "Monsters" and check the "Invert filter" checkbox.

Re: Ultimate Doom Builder

Post by Enjay »

Thank you. That would normally work (though I didn't realise that's how it was done) but I should have been more specific with my question. This is for a custom game configuration where there are lots of enemies and so I have split them up into several categories in the things menu (e.g. Enemies: Demons, Enemies: Animals, Enemies: Humans etc). So, is it possible to add multiple thing categories to a filter or to somehow create a custom field that will allow them to be filtered?




And, only tangentially related...

I think that this might be a bug/poorly implemented feature

Glowing dogs!

Actually, many of my enemies glow in visual mode - not all of them, but many of them. If I exclude my DOOMDEFS lump from resources, they don't glow.

The thing is, I don't see why they should. e.g. in the above screenshot you can see two enemies; one of which uses repurposed doom sprites (the Doberman) and the other one used sprites with a new name.

Lights are added to neither of the frames from the screenshot in my DOOMDEFS lump. However, most of my enemies have "Disintegrate" deaths (where, Astrostein-like, they go white and fade away while glowing white) and "Burn" deaths where... well, they catch fire :grr:. Both of these deaths have lights attached.

Extract from my DOOMDEFS

Code: Select all

flickerlight2 VAPOR
{
    color 0.8 0.8 0.8
    size 84
    secondarySize 120
    interval 0.1
    offset 0 40 0
    attenuate 1
}

// General Flame
flickerlight2 GENFLAME1
{
    color 1.0 0.9 0.0
    size 72
    secondarySize 84
    interval 0.1
    offset 0 32 0
    attenuate 1
}

object Alsation  //Alsation
{
    frame ALSAP { light VAPOR }
    frame ALSAQ { light VAPOR }
    frame ALSAR { light VAPOR }
    frame ALSAS { light VAPOR }
    frame ALSAT { light VAPOR }
    
    frame DBR2A { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR2B { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR2C { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR2D { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR2E { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR2F { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR2G { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR2H { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR2I { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR2J { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR2K { light GENFLAME1 }
}

object Doberman  //Dog
{
    frame SARGP { light VAPOR }
    frame SARGQ { light VAPOR }
    frame SARGR { light VAPOR }
    frame SARGS { light VAPOR }
    frame SARGT { light VAPOR }
    frame SARGU { light VAPOR }
    frame SARGV { light VAPOR }
    
    frame DBR1A { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR1B { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR1C { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR1D { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR1E { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR1F { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR1G { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR1H { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR1I { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR1J { light GENFLAME1 }
    frame DBR1K { light GENFLAME1 }
}
Judging by the colour of the light in the editor, it's the GENFLAME1 light that is being applied to the dogs. If I comment out the whole entry for the Doberman object, it stops glowing in the editor. If I only comment out the entries that allocate the GENFLAME1 light to the Dobeman, it does not seem to replace the replace the glow with the white VAPOR light. So, this too stops the dog glowing.

The question is, is this a bug?

The attached file should demonstrate the problem (just an adapted version of the files with stuff from the bigger mod commented out). Load the map and the PK3 resourcein GZDoom UDMF and you should see this in visual mode.

[edit] Reported the following on github - issue #393 https://github.com/jewalky/UltimateDoom ... issues/393 [/edit]

And, spawned by the above, I have noticed that I sometimes get an error when editing things in 3D mode.

e.g. with the above example map loaded, I highlighted the dog, right-clicked it to open the thing editor and changed it to something else (in this case the skull shishkabob - but I don't think that's important). This caused the error:

I pressed "Contiune" and things seemed to work fine, but repeating the above reliably causes the error for me.

The issue is the user_static UDMF field. For some of your actors it's defined as bool, for some as int. UDB tries to write it as bool, so it crashes for those where it's int.

Lighting in UDB is actor-based and not frame-based. So it just takes to first light of any frame and uses that. Not sure how easy that's to change.

Awesome, now we at least have a place to look for - thanks for the investigation. Now I wonder: Is it something the mod has set up the wrong way or is it UDB?

It's UDB's fault. It can interpret the int/float/string/bool values as different things, like color (where it shows the int as a RGB hex value). To do that it saves a type for the field name and then tries to force that type onto the field. That obviously doesn't work when the base types are different. In your case it tries to cast the int to bool, and that's not possible in C#, and it throws the exception.

This info is stored in the .dbs file - if you have a look at your .dbs file, you'll see a section called "fieldtypes", that's where it stores the types it thinks are correct. That's why it works if you delete the .dbs file, but the data gets stored in there again.
