[2.4.1] BEX Intermission Text Backgrounds Don't Change

[Super Jamie]

With WhackEd it is possible to change the backgrounds during the intermission texts displayed after MAP06, MAP11, MAP20, etc using the BEX strings

Code: Select all

# Change MAP06 Intermission Text Background to FLATNAME
BGFLAT06 = FLATNAME

ZDoom 2.4.1 does not appear to honour this behaviour, whereas PrBoom does.

Do you have a complete patch and not a one-line excerpt? There are two sections in a dehacked patch that can change text.

Are you also running with a MAPINFO? Changing the flat through dehacked is disabled if you are.

[Super Jamie]

I've taken the entire .BEX file that WhackEd gives me and imported it into the PWAD, then renamed that lump to DEHACKED. The code I posted below is just an excerpt.

PrBoom and PrB+ do change the intermission text and background to what I defined in WhackEd so I am guessing I have the syntax and lump format correct?

There is no MAPINFO lump in this PWAD.

Sorry for relying on an implied statement. I wrote that because I wanted to see a complete patch, not an excerpt taken out of context that cannot be used on its own.

[Super Jamie]

Ohhhh evidently I misunderstood, sorry. I will PM you the BEX.

[randi]

Fixed. Was this in BOOM, or did MBF introduce it? If it was BOOM, I guess I completely missed it.

[Super Jamie]

I'm not sure tho this page reckons they are Boom.

Either way, thankyou very much
