That's likely my fault, really, I did it without consulting anyone at all. I just wanted a quick and easy solution, and I didn't want to make anybody else work for it.

If you just need an automated way to convert light levels into sector colors, I guess the only way to do that is to define a ZSCRIPT actor that scans the entire sector array in its Tick function and converts the light level into sector color.
Would someone translate this for me, please? Is it a viable solution to use a defaultmap while also being able to assign sector-specific fog?

This issue is now resolved. Instead of having to go through each sector by sector color like I thought I was going to have to do - Graf did
this commit which enabled me to do this:
Code: Select all
defaultmap
{
lightmode = 0
fogdensity = 1
fade = "00 00 00"
evenlighting
nolightfade
}
Note the change of lightmode from 4 to 0 to enable this. Warp to map15 - and wow. It works just absolutely perfect, and it looks nice, too.

Wait a minute - this was using the broken (by intent) LEGACY light mode? No wonder nothing worked right. That mode overrides half the light and fog settings with what Doom Legacy would do and that was rather borked from the start.

It still looked better than 0 with the diminishing light effects.

You should have used 1 instead of 0. It might have looked better because it uses far less intense fog.

Actually, the fog effects in Map15 had been set up at least 4 or 5 years back, before the use of defaultmap settings in MAPINFO. The introduction of defaultmap in conjunction with the newer GZDooM builds was what seemed to be causing the conflict.
Glad all is well now. Thanks to both of you for fixing this.
