What about a fast projectile? I'm not sure how that may affect performance, but it should do what you need.

Re: The "How do I..." Thread
also (while testing with gzdoombuilder, as mentioned before i prefer DB2)...why are my custom resources not showing up all of a sudden?
no actors are loading. and some of them (but not nearly all) are showing double defined errors...but theyre not double defined.
super confused...furthering my hatred of GZDB2.

Re: The "How do I..." Thread
Not sure if this would help, but I remember .PK3s working if you just dump all of their contents into a .wad, resulting in a .wad that includes and automatically loads the .PK3's stuff. This would be good if your only concern is that the .wad and .PK3 would be separated, , since you could either make it into a .PK3 and dump it in, or just immediately dump the contents in without making it a .PK3 depending on how all the formatting stuff works. However, I've got nothing if the actual problem is that the .PK3-making process is a pain and is a problem by itself.cortlong50 wrote:is there any way to use (and include) brightmaps in a .wad without having to save the entire thing as a .PK3 (i hate gzdoom builder and dont want to us it...it crashes too often for me).
if so....how?

Re: The "How do I..." Thread
Huh, I guess I did misunderstand. This works perfectly, and the pain thing could be avoided by designing maps appropriately, so I guess that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Thanks for sorting this out!Apeirogon wrote:https://youtu.be/FIcjmx-Ta88

Re: The "How do I..." Thread
I've now also made it such that the railgun attack temporarily increases the target's pain threshold to 1 instead of 0, so this works 100% perfectly now! I probably would've given up after not finding out what to do about the previous problem if I never asked here, so you basically single-handedly saved this idea.

if so....how?
i actually have all the brightmaps in there...all the GLDEFS in there...but for some reason it refuses to load the textures. super weird. i cant seem to get it to recognize the brightmaps and put them on the textures.
im wondering if i need special markers or something for brightmaps.
so theres my question...when putting brightmaps in a .wad...do i need special markers or something?

Re: The "How do I..." Thread
(one reason im not a fan of this whole wait to be approved thing...i cant edit my comments)
new issue. its not that i did do it right in the GLDEFS...its that gzdoom 1.8+ wontfind them.it says "cant load brightmap (whatever". gzdoom 2+ and 3+ load them up all day.
what the hell is that about?
