2 Problems... (DECORATE and MODELDEF, seperate)

[Surreal Doomer]

Hey. I turned my attention on Chex Quest for a bit a few weeks ago. I decided to make a reloading system for all of the Zorchers. It works perfectly, but there is one problem.

Allow me to explain.

Let's say I have the Mini Zorcher (Pistol conversion), which takes 12 shots before it has to reload. I created a hub level a while back and decided to test it in a hub, for a project idea. If I had the fist-conversion (Bootspoon, doesn't have/need a reloading system) as my only weapon, I can switch between two levels just fine. However, if I have the Mini Zorcher as a weapon, even if it isn't currently selected, (G)Zdoom crashes when I try to switch back from one level to another. Basically, it makes all the levels one-way trips. It also crashes whenever the player tries to load an autosave after he/she dies.

Could someone help me make this NOT happen?

Now, on to my second problem.


I was trying to make a Doom crate md3 model so that I could make a pushable crate. However, I am having a problem with using more than one skin image on the same model. Will someone help me?

Code: Select all

Model DoomCrate1
{
  Path "Models"
  Model 0 "DOMCRT1.md3"
  Skin 0 "FLOOR3_3.bmp"
  Skin 1 "CRATA1.bmp"
  Scale 1.0 1.0 1.0

  Frame CRAT A 0 0
}

As far as I know, your model cannot call up images from more than one image file. Your best bet is to combine the two images into a single file and then remap your skin onto your model.

Depending on the way your model skins one of your images (say FLOOR3_3.bmp), and assuming your crate is a simple cube, you may not need to remap your skin onto the model. Try combining the two images into a single file (say one above the other in the combined image file), then run your model after deleting the relevant skin from your MODELDEF above. If it looks funky or you only see one of the skins, try moving the image to be side-by-side with your first image. If your model only requires one crate "face" then you're shit out of luck unless you modify your skin maps.

ReX is quite correct. GZdoom does not support different skins being used on the same model at the same time. You can set things up so that a model's skin changes, but it can only ever have one skin at any one time.

I'll give that combined-texture thing a try at some point, but the DECORATE problem takes presidence. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: The error disappears (for the most part) in the latest SVN version of (G)Zdoom.
