Don't worry about it. :lol:

Is there a way to increase the maximum number of spawned sprites?

I'm sure the answer is no because IIRC it would require massive changes at the very core of the engine to increase MAXSPRITES beyond the current limit of 16384.

r9710 observations:

- EDuke32 doesn't center a non-fullscreen window with r_vsync "1" in settings.cfg.

- Wangulator startup window needs update:


- source/kenbuild/src/game.cpp doesn't compile.

- ekenbuild-editor.exe doesn't link.

[EDIT:]
- eduke32.log and mapster32.log start with a useless empty line
- mapster32 bad default: should start with a centered window (started without cfg files)

Hey there, I have just a short question.
When I mapped whitenoise back then I could switch the polymer light on and off by using ACTIVATORLOCKED in the same sector.

But in the current version of eduke this method doesn't work. Is there now another way to make this work?
This was a very nice touch and don't want to use older versions either, because I was testing the map the whole time with newer versions
Thank you :)

There are a few threads in the bug reports section concerning recent Polymer. TX is in the middle of implementing changes/improvements and he mentioned some things may break. And they have. ;) Its also going to be a long process so you might have to use an older version for a while.

Try 9782 from January of this year. It is right before the version that broke the flashlight too. Maybe you'll have good luck with that and not have to go back too far.

thanks for pointing that out, I missed that :-)
with older versions this works now.

but unfortunately the lighting effects of the drones and domelite aren't working in the older versions. and they are really good and an improvement for the atmosphere :D

Work slowly and maybe Polymer will be ready when you are. :P

Just a short question :-)
Is there a way to turn off the polymer light especially of the tripbombs?
Tried a few things but it hadn't worked out.

Here is the original discussion... https://forums.duke4...dpost__p__40634

It looks like this will work if those tripbombs are in the map at the start, not spawned in later.

Thanks for the advice and code snippet.
But this is not working with TRIPBOMBSPRITE or TRIPBOMB. So I thought I did something wrong. But this works fine with the ATOMICHEALTH or DOMELITE so the code is actually right :huh:

Then I figured out I had to disable it using the LASERLINE "actor.". Now this works as I wish. Even the tripbombs I put myself on the wall :)

It seems that entire voxels are drawn at a constant shade. Is there any way to make the shading variable with distance across the voxel, if only in polymost? The issue becomes quite noticeable for larger voxels. I’d be surprised if this isn’t possible given that they’re rendered as models.

Hello everyone, I was playing through World Tour through EDuke32, and I noticed that there are no visible dynamic shadows, even though turning that option on in the menus causes a big performance hit in some areas... I am running the 26th October build of EDuke32
