Nodebuilder Problem - UTNT Map02

Post by **Tormentor667** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 12:20

I just fixed a few things for the v1.05 version of UTNT (fully Skulltag compatible) and well, I seem to have a serious problem with the nodebuilder at the moment. I am using ZDBSP1.9 with the following settings:

Code: Select all

zdbsp -x -z -w -b -r tnt02.wad -o tnt02_gl.wad

And that's what happens when I play the map with GZDoom 1.1.6 (or the latest one, same problem in Skulltag), this problem hasn't been there before by the way, so maybe I am doing something wrong when I build the nodes:

Graf said me that the values to use were :
zdbsp.exe -z -x -b -r

The only difference is the -w and all that does show warning messages.

Enjay, please, let me tell you how thankful I am for all of that you have done for the community, since a so long time, and for all the good time I had thanks to you !

Thank you to don't answer me, and to put this homage in your pocket silently !!!

Whatever, that's definitely not the solution

I think so strange to find here a veryyyyyyyyyy old bug of Doom Legacy...
I know that Graf is capable to solve it (because Thierry van ElsuwÃ© answered me, at that time, that it was a tedious bug, needing to write from scratch a new engine for the OpenGl mode, and Graf made it on his side.
Or... he used bugged parts of Legacy?!? (lol, I'm kidding)

Whatever, so strange bug, very hideous !!!

Can you please post map coordinates so that I can investigate myself?

I will upload the current build later this evening and send you a pm so you can test it on your own. It's right at the start of TNT02 then.

This is not a nodebuilder problem.

What's interesting is that the glitch only happens when there's weather effects in the skybox. I'll assume that the old version did this differently so that the glitch didn't show.

This seems to be an engine related problem but it's a bit weird that it manifests itself in such a strange manner.

The weather effects are now being spawned with DECORATE only, before they were spawned through ACS, don't know if this info helps though. So, there is nothing wrong with the nodes or the map at all?

No, it doesn't look that way. Something about the weather effects seems to cause problems with the depth buffering but so far I have no idea what precisely.

Definitely a strange effect
