1.0.29

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 12:36

There's a new version available. The most notable addition are ZDoom's custom skill definitions. There's also some bugfixes from the latest ZDoom SVN version and slight improvements to the model code thanks to Torr Samaho from the Skulltag team.

EDIT: 1.0.29 fixes a crash when using models.

Thanks Graf, but... still no brightness map example?

Sorry, I forgot to include it. Since I have to re-fix it anyway it will be in 1.0.29.

No worries. The fact that I can finally do those smooth particles (as demonstrated by Keksdose's screenshot) really excites me already.

The brightmaps are awesome. Just one question; what does the iwad keyword do?

It simply means that it only works for sprites in the IWAD. That's in case you load your own sprites that look different. This way you can always load it without having to worry about sprite replacements.

Thanks for the new version Graf.

I like the bright maps very much. Do the brightmap offsets and sizes have to be the same as those of the original sprite?

All the ones I have checked seem to be just 2 colour images (and XWE doesn't like reading them for some reason - so I can't check the offsets) - is that the format required or can there be more colours for more subtle gradation of colours?

I assume yes; look at the brightmaps for the cacodemons and the hell nobles. They're not totally white.

I guess it just works like an apha map where you can make smooth fades.

The brightmaps don't need offsets. The offsets are for positioning sprites in the engine but the brightmaps are just overlays for the created textures.

The size can be different although I don't see much use for that.

And you can use any color you want. This is not restricted to grayscale.

Thanks for the information. With any luck I'll get a chance to try some of my own later on when I get home from work.

What are Brightmaps? How can I define them and where are they used?
