Support for sprites with 4 rotations

[Marisa the Magician]

We have options for 0, 8 and 16 rotations, but not for 4.

This can be hackily done at the moment using +SPRITEANGLE and then setting the sprite angle based on relative angle to the consoleplayer camera, but this obviously breaks when mirrors (and in some cases portals) are involved.

Front, right, back and left?

[Marisa the Magician]

Exactly. Like in your typical 2D RPG.

If it's easy to implement, I would support this featuer. There are games that only have sprites with four rotations which could be used in Doom. Alien Breed 3D comes to mind.

You could use the 16 rotations for the four directions:

G, 1, 9, 2 = forward
A, 3, B, 4 = left
C, 5, D, 6 = backward
E, 7, F, 8 = right

That's still not what the OP is asking for.

In the future when someone asks for things in this forum, please remember they don't want things that can be accomplished by hacks or clunky work-arounds. The above post qualifies as the latter, as no matter how many rotations you have there will always be 4 angles of ambiguity which could be reduced to 0 if implemented as described in the request.

I understand what he was asking for (support for 4 angle rotations). I was just giving an idea for the meantime, or in case the request was rejected.
