Sidedef/Texture rotation

We can rotate flats, but is there any chance of this being extended to sidedefs/textures? Personally I'd find this quite useful, particularly when slopes are in use.

No, the reason being that rendering walls is done per column and it's strictly optimized to go through the texture data in a very specific manner. That makes rotation impossible unless the entire wall drawing code is redone.

Damn, looks like I need to get to work on texture edits then.
Thanks for the prompt response anyway :)

[wiki]TEXTURES[/wiki] can do this pretty handily. Thoguh if it's something you can do by flipping the texture, setting a negative scale when mapping should work.

This is probably a topic for a different thread/bugreport/whatnot, but as a vague mention, the latter seems to be a bit buggy; we had some issues in Square where negative scales (on the x direction in particular) were failing to actually flip the texture.

Not sure if that's a known issue/limitation/what, but there you go.
