Re: Question about slopes

Okay then.
I'm not exactly surprised.
I'm putting "sloped sectors with sloping collision" on my 3DGE wishlist.

Question about slopes

I recently observed something and I was wondering if it was behaving the way I thought. Are slopes in 3DGE using the same collision as if there was no slope at all? As if they were purely decorative? If so, I feel disappointed. Walking up a slop feels like walking up stairs; it is not smooth at all....

Things and tags

Is it possible to have things react to tags in a level? Using DDF (or RTS I suppose) so I could have a thing change its state according to when a switch in the level is active. I just had a thought about this and realized that this functionality could lead to some amazing things. At the very least, ...

Walls, floors, what's the difference.

There are two (conceptually) simple things I would like to see added to 3DGE. One, I would like to be able to use any size of texture for a floor. I could tolerate requiring the texture to be square, but I would really like to be able use a larger texture like 128x128 to have a larger design on the ...

Re: 3D models in 3DGE

Ahhh, so that's how it works. Which is also how sprites work; I don't know why I didn't think of that. I suppose that means I could change out between different mdx files for some animations if I need to. (Hmm, does that mean I can switch between being a sprite or a mesh on the fly? No idea why I wo...

3D models in 3DGE

I was thinking about creating my monsters as 3D models, but first I wanted to just run some experiments to see how 3D models really look in the engine, get a feel for how they really behave so I can decide if this is the route I want to go or not. I'm trying to create a small sample wad with just on...

Re: 3DGE Builder v0.2 Released! (9.24.16)

Aww, I thought this was going to do things like let you preview the room-over-room and slope effects. This also doesn't seem to update the list of line defs and sector effects so that those show up in the list instead of just being "unknown." It looks like it also doesn't seem to display things like...

Re: Using large png tiles

It occurred to me that this is the same thing that the "high res texture" pack is doing, since it is replacing original textures with higher resolution versions. But the wad I downloaded for that isn't working, so I can't use that as an example for how to do this.
