[help!] texture size issue

[osjclatchford]

I have an issue with overlaying skies.
i use this:

industrial.png

over this:

sky12.png

via this:
in my mapinfo

---

map MAP12 lookup "HUSTR_12"
{
titlepatch = "CWILV11"
next = "MAP13"
secretnext = "MAP13"
sky1 = "industrial", 0.0
sky2 = "sky13", 0.1
doublesky
cluster = 7
par = 150
music = "$MUSIC_THEDA2"
}

it works in zdoom2.8.1 but in gzdoom it says the texures must be the same height. which they are... so what gives?

I had some trouble with the original texture not showing the transparent areas.
Using IrfanView to save the transparency did the trick.

That's interesting... Also I found that simply changing the name from anything but industrial solved it. Odd. Perhaps. Industrial is the name of another texture? Anyhow seems ok now...

The problem may not be with the name itself, but its length. ZDoom only handles filenames longer than 8 characters if you're specifying full path/filenames for things. I know for sure this is the case with sounds and SNDINFO definitions, but I'm unsure if it extends to textures and MAPINFO.

most interesting. However, that being said. Surely it would also be the case in zdoom engine not just gzdoom. But it works in zdoom so..?

If you really want this investigated, please post a complete runnable sample. We cannot read your mind in order to recreate it exactly.
