flats/tex

Are interchangable flats/textures available in 47? Doesn't seem so, although when I set a wall texture to flat14 in WA, I get some wierd derivative of ashwall2.

Only in 47i. If you specify a texture that's not found in ZDoom, it displays ASHWALL. Just like if you specify a flat that's not found, it displays the blue and white tile.

I got that; it's kinda hard to miss

But why ashwall2?

No telling. Ask Randy.

Possibly because it's the first texture, isn't it? (Besides AASHITTY anyway)

Perhaps "shitty" was meant to be a flat... but id thought it was a shitty (hahaha) idea and stuck it into the tex's. And being the fact that ashwall2 is the first 64x128 tex...enough speculation.

aashitty isn't displayed for whatever reason if you try and use it as a texture, I believe it's used for the sky texture in maps 33 - 35 (or whatever doom2.exe goes up to) and aastinky (aashitty's older brother in doom1) is used as the sky in episode 5 for doom.exe

(in case you didn't know the original engines actually support a couple extra maps than are included with the games, most likely for development reasons, but you can name a map E5Mx and doom.exe will run it, though you have to warp to it from the command line. likewise with MAP33 in doom2.exe, though the upper map limit escapes me)

AASHITTY is just a placeholder to take index 0 in the texture list. (which means 'no texture') So AASHITTY (or AASTINKY in Doom 1) is the same as '-'!

What Graf said. It's a placeholder. The first texture will always display HOM, because it's the same as -

We figured this out while working on ZooM because we kept working with the textures and the first one would always display HOM.

Damn spooky.

It's useful if you want to leave off upper or lower textures but your editor (the dck in this case) keeps assigning them.

I placed a texture named ABADNAME in my texture pack which repeated the word "BAD" in blue, much better than that ashwall2, because it would not be mistaken for an actual level texture.
