I mentioned this problem a week ago and not a peep from anyone. Someone else mentions the same thing (in the wrong thread even) and gets an immediate response.

so, who did I piss off here, and what did I do to piss them off?

I want to make sure I keep doing it.

verified r1853 is the last snapshot that works. r1854is when problem started

Well, this is not the focus of discussion here, but I think I am more beloved than you!

I did see you post about this a week ago, and I did fire up mapster at that time, but for some reason the problem didn't occur (maybe I was using the wrong snapshot?), so I didn't bother posting a reply.

But more importantly, no developer has responded to either of you yet, so in that respect you are being treated equally.

I saw the report, but I'm pretty sure it's caused by the new feature that Helix added to the tile selector; I was just going to wait until he saw it as well. I try to stay away from the editor code if I can help it!

I am using the spriteshadow feature in a map. There are clipping issues some times, just like I get occasionally with sprites on walls. I solve the problem on walls by moving the sprite one smallest grid unit away from the wall. But there is no option to move the spriteshadow off the floor. Could it be done easily or would it introduce other problems? The problem has been noticed by others so I assume its not something specific to my setup.

OOPS. I posted in the wrong thread. I got fooled because the last few posts were about bugs and I clicked post instead of heading over to the bugs section.

not answering your question, but doing another, what the hell is spriteshadow? I'm curious! =)

Some of the commands are hidden. You would only find them if you know they are there... ( how did i find them in the first place? )

[Hendricks266]

There are no hidden commands.

[bullerbullerseven]

You know what i mean. Some commands are hard to find, especially if you don't know where they are. That's what i mean with hidden. Sometimes you just get surprised that there are some commands that you didn't know were there. Takes time to learn the wiki in your head.

[Master Fibbles]

In other words: there are commands in the wiki that aren't easily accessible. It needs a usability revamp.

[bullerbullerseven]

Yea, if you take the command palfrom. I had no idea what the hell that was before someone told me. And that it was extremely useful. Should be called color flash or something.

you're right! I never used "spriteshadow", I only use on actors "spriteflags 1" (perhaps is the same thing)

[Hendricks266]

Spriteshadow tells the game to set spriteflags 1.

I see what you mean now. Perhaps in addition to an alphabetical listing we should also categorize them all on one page.

[bullerbullerseven]

Glad to hear that. In case you wonder. Yea i am rasmusthorup on the eduke wiki. So you can talk to me there if you want to. I've been doing a lot of very small updates. But those are the updates that makes it easy to manipulate around. Feel free to correct my graphical errors because sometimes i mess up xD

I know polymer is able only to render one skybox texture per map but I have the next question: Is possible to code it so it could render the same texture but with different palettes? Maybe my first point answer the question, anyway i have this doubt.

[Plagman]

No, you would hit the same limitation. I really intend to have this fixed at some point, though.

[fgsfds]

It is possible to make autoload work with folders? For example, if I put polymer_hrp (from SVN) in autoload folder, it will work.

[Micky C]

I thought it already worked with folders? Have you tried it?

[fgsfds]

Yes. It works only if you put all files from polymer_hrp in main folder (where is eduke32.exe), but it doesn't work with autoload folder. But maybe I do something wrong.

The autoload folder does not read folders inside it AFAIK, it will only read zip's etc.

He can get the folder to work by having the "polymer_hrp" folder in his main Duke directory and selecting it from the custom game content directory drop down box as shown in the SVN guide.
But I think he may want it to load from the autoload folder so he can use it with DukePlus.

I like the new addition to Mapster.


For those that don't know what they are looking at, it's E1L1 but in a angled view.

wow that's cool!
how to do that??

Press F3 in 2D mode.

I'm not sure where to post this, but it involves Polymer so I'll post it here.

For various CON coded light effects, it is necessary to change the hitag of light SEs in game. For example, you can make a polymer light appear to turn on or off by changing the hitag of the SE. Unfortunately, the light seems to use the same amount of resources (i.e. affect frame rate the same) even if the hitag is set to 0 and there is no visible light. So as an optimization, I suggest that extremely weak lights be ignored and not be processed. This would help a lot in certain parts of DNE.

its also interesting to note in scenarios where i have turned off lights with the intent of getting frames the fps is actually worse than it would be with the lights on.

Here's a categorized command list which I've sorted over the past week. There are only a handful of commands that I don't know how to sort listed under "unsorted". Tell me what you think.

That's pretty good overall. I would change "meta-settings" to "game settings", and move some stuff around. I'll take another look at it when I have more time.
