[ZDBSP]creates broken GL nodes for Deathkings Map42

[Graf Zahl]

If you build GL nodes for this level ('Blight') the game aborts because one polyobject is missing some parts.


Sure the mapping is more than sloppy here but in this case the discarding of it makes the map not play at all.

Why would a PO be missing lines? It shouldn't crash, but whoever mapped that shouldn't have been napping either.

Raven didn't have ZDBSP, which is the only nodebuilder that accounts for polyobjects, when making HeXen.

They still should have had less lazy mappers. Hexen maps are full of problems. And easy ones too, like unclosed sectors.

Both Doom's has that problem in the earlier IWAD's too, yno.

It crashes because ZDBSP doesn't assign a seg to one line of a polyobject. Even though the mapping is rather sloppy here that must never happen because the game aborts if it finds incorrectly formed polyobjects.

These problems are a direct result of all the hacks to make the polyobjects work.

So it's not because a poly is missing a line or somehow flawed?

[Graf Zahl]

The map is ok. It runs as it is and it runs when ZDBSP builds normal nodes. But not with GL nodes.

Fixed.
