0.9.18

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Sun Nov 20, 2005 13:12

Time for a new version.

One new feature has been added: Reflective floors. Check the documentation thread for any information how to use it. A new zspecial.acs which supports the new feature has been added to the distribution.

Other new things:

-nogl command line switch disables all GL related code and makes GZDoom act like a software only engine.
-gl_vid_compatibility CVAR to force GZDoom to use GL 1.1 only features for some old graphics cards that don't have decent drivers.

And of course there have been several bugfixes. Check out changelog.txt to see what has been done,.

Alright, I feel stupid, but I can't get these reflective floors to work. Could somebody post an example wad to show me what I need to do?

How are you doing them? It's pretty straight forward, but if you are doing it from a line, unlike things like transfer heights, or transfer floor light, or 3D floors etc, this line type needs to be activated.

For a very quick test to see if it's working for you, tag a sector 1 then make a line have type 159. Set arg 1 to 1 (tag) and arg 2 to a reasonable value (128) that will make the floor reflective. Make sure you set the activation type of the line appropriately. Enter your map and activate the line by walking over it or switching it.

Alternatively, use something like this in a script

Code: Select all

Script 1 OPEN

{
   Sector_SetPlaneReflection (1, 128, 0);
}

Make sure you have the new zspecial.acs in your acs directory.

The reflective floor would work well in recreating the egyptian temple from goldeneye (which I hope to do someday).

Why does the download link and zip say .9.19?

Because it is now 0.9.19. Graf fixed a (Zdoom) bug and uploaded a new version.

Was it the 'cameras are cleared when loading a savegame' bug?

The vid compatiblity thing didn't work, I still get a white screen with 0.1fps.

Still, the bug fixes are worth using GZDoom for, even if there's no decorate stuff going in.

Okay, I know what I did wrong. I set the level of reflection way too low.

I noticed that the 3rd bit for the second argument for 3D floors hasn't been added, allowing a lineID to be set...
