Yays! Can't wait for some fake, but realistic floor decals! =)

Yes! More gore, more violence, and more blood!

Now the gibs don't move with platforms, they just float in the air.

Help!

That's the primary problem with NOBLOCKMAP...

Oh, nevermind, it's not big deal. A simple call to A_ChangeFlag("NOBLOCKMAP", 0) in the gibs' "OnFloor" state fixed it.

Does that run the risk of getting other actors stuck if the flag changes while it's inside one?

The gibs are set to -SOLID so I don't think it matters.

Originally, I had these bunch of new decals and there was some animation on them. Long thin strips of blood would slowly ooze down from the main decals. However, I was messing around with Photoshop earlier today, and I came up with a bunch of new blood decals that I really liked.

Unfortunately, this style of painting made my old decal animation ugly. So for now... it's not animated (in other words, these are merely a high res version of ZDoom's static decals).

I wouldn't want to post the animation anyway because that'll spoil the surprise!

Coming next... I'm deciding between either the new chainsaw death animations or the new XDEATH frames.

Does that look bad because there's no transparency in the splats, or because it's a picture of high-res splats on a low-res texture?

Post by **Nash** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 4:53 pm

Probably both.

But I'll try adding some transparency back to the alpha decals first though (because I like the extra tiny details the high resolution allows).

I hate making decals... so many unecessary steps...

Ah OK, I was thinking they probably didn't have any transparency but couldn't tell for sure. I think that would make the biggest improvement, and it'd be a shame to waste all that work on the high-res versions.

Does the blood have a duration, in which it will die off, or will it be permanent?

If it is the latter, I think there is going to be a big issue about lag.

The sprite-based blood should have a duration to it for that reason, the wall splats are limited by the cl_maxdecals cvar so they shouldn't be a problem.
