What is a "3DMidTex"?

[Nash]

I will probably add the 3DMidtex stuff (which is really neat) once I figure out how to integrate it but that has to wait until after Randy releases 2.1.0.

BTW, static 3DMidtex textures already work. They were easy enough to support with a handful of code I wrote in less than 15 minutes.

You wrote this on the last page of the "name my port" thread.

What is a 3DMidTex anyway? How do I use it?

It's an Eternity feature. Basically it means that the mid texture of such a linedef is considered 'solid' so you can walk on it and that it can block your movement.

Eternity has an added feature to connect such textures to a moving sector so you can create lifts out of them without any hassle.

I am still trying to figure out how to handle such movement properly without screwing up the engine's checks. Once that happens I'll add it to ZDoom.

That sounds really cool.

Indeed, no more need for bridge things

But please keep in mind that at the moment it should not be used in Hexen format maps. Although the flag is exposed I intend to move it to another value so if you do your map might break. It all depends whether I manage to get them moving with ZDoom's sector movement code.
