Creating Slopes in DOOM Format?
« on: January 09, 2013, 18:27:54 »
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)?

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:

Code: [Select]
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

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. :)

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
