I would like to continue editing my maps in DOOM format, but have been considering experimenting with slopes.
Do I need to be in HEXEN format to do this, or is it possible to use slopes in DOOM format?
-
No, but you need to change the map configuration to ZDoom (Doom in Doom format)
-
So no matter what, if I want to use slopes in my map I need to be in ZDOOM (DOOM in HEXEN format)?
-
No, use DOOM IN DOOM FORMAT
-
Ha ha, you are confusing me. :)
If DOOM in DOOM format does not support sloped surfaces, then wouldn't I need to use DOOM in HEXEN format instead?
-
The terminology that DoomBuilder uses for the format you want is "ZDoom (Doom in Doom Format)". The following are the numbers for the slope linedef specials in that format:
340: // Slope the Floor in front of the line
341: // Slope the Ceiling in front of the line
342: // Slope the Floor+Ceiling in front of the line
343: // Slope the Floor behind the line
344: // Slope the Ceiling behind the line
345: // Slope the Floor+Ceiling behind the line
346: // Slope the Floor behind+Ceiling in front of the line
347: // Slope the Floor in front+Ceiling behind the line

Thank you much!

Hmm, it appears that I do not need to edit in DOOM format at all! I feel like I'm the last to learn what I can do in regards to Odamex editing. :)

Be prepared for nasty surprises. :)

Oh no...
And by "nasty surprises" do you mean I will find a lot of things that do not work as one might expect them to, do you mean a lot more features are soon to be supported in the next release, or do you mean to say that much of the work I am doing now might end up unsupported and the features I used commented out (or something) in the next release?!?
Tell me, I'm anxious to know!!! ;)

The first. I'm not aware of any features planned for removal
