Is there a way to add warp to custom flats?

Post by ichxg0 »

Howdy y'all, after lurking around here for a while I have finally decided to join! anyways;

So,I have a fluids wad that adds "warp" to all the stock liquid textures, and it works quite nicely. Except not for custom textures, ie: OTEX. I'm playing Eviternity and would really like to apply the same effects somehow -

Is there a way to animate these better without producing extra frames? I thought I might somehow try and copy and paste the names of the custom textures into all the places where the original names appeared, but after looking at the animdefs and texture files I think it won't quite work, or I might just not understand.

But, there must be a way, with a little bit of legwork maybe, or so I hope. I'm brand new at editing mods, I've poked around a few pk3's now, but the actual code and syntax/language of it all feels a bit beyond me. I can learn some basic stuff and apply it though, hopefully :geek:

I'm all ears if anyone has suggestions on where to start!

Figured it would probably help to show an example of the code;
So here are the animdefs:

{
	patch SWATER4, 0, 0
	patch SWATER1, 0, 0 { Style Translucent; Alpha 0.875 }
}
And then they have separate lumps for the nukage, lava, etc.
Without knowing anything about the subject, it looks like it shouldn't be too hard to set up if you know the flat names, but I'm not sure how to go about actually implementing it.

Re: Is there a way to add warp to custom flats?

Post by bimshwel »

All you need to warp something is the "WARP2 FLAT SWATER47" part at the end of animdefs. The other stuff is just telling the game what graphics comprise the flat, and what order they go in when animated. You just need to know what the flat is called, and can ignore the patch names, which are a bit confusing in this case since they seem to share names with the in-use flats. But notice that swater1 swater2 swater3 and swater4 are NOT told to get warped, since those are the base patches.

Swater is itself a custom texture; none of the original iwads have graphics for it or try to use it in levels, though it will animate like a vintage vanilla game floor animation if graphics are supplied. Are a lot of player-made levels using that now?
