TileTexture(lineid)

... So i'll suggest it here.

Since it's impossible to tile textures on the middle texture, why not have this little feature? Simply put, it'll just wrap/tile the middle texture like it would on any regular wall.

The problem with this is the 'just'... It's not that simple with the software renderer. You can't just tell it to tile the texture because it isn't programmed to do that.

And the GL renderer?

No problem but I won't implement it just there.

Hmm.. So is this a [no] or a [yes] or a [Wait till 2015 when randy has finished doing whatever]?

I'd say it's a strong 'maybe'!

This is one of the most important features that I am waiting for since I have started to work with ZDoom. It was always a pain in the arse when I had to place lines over lines to make it look good or at last lines 1pixel next to other lines with different offsets! I don't want to hack anymore in TNT4

Might a 3d floor work in some cases? Wouldn't work everywhere, but would be better than not having it at all.

Yeah, I was just thinking that myself. Can't try it ATM, but a lot of the time, I'm pretty sure that would work.

3D Floor? Well... what if the tiled texture has invisible party like grids and stuff?

Why would that be a problem for 3D floors?

Try putting a grid or fence texture on an ordinary wall.

But 3D floors aren't ordinary walls. Putting a texture with transparent areas on one is fine - even desirable in some cases. They can also be set to have the insides of the "floor" object rendered too.

I tried it out and it worked fine.

Well, that's the point proven.

To make it behave even more like a normal impassable wall (ie so you could shoot through it), you could set the 3D floor to be non-solid (type 3) and then make the lines bounding it impassable instead.
