[g2.1.pre-929-g877014c] Reflections not visible on slopes

Post by Xeotroid »

Pretty much like it sounds, when you apply action special 159 on a sloped sector, the reflection doesn't show up. Is this problem even fixable?

Reflective slopes cannot be done because they'd throw all assumptions about how to clip the reflected geometry out of the window, it'd cause serious recursion problems.
With the way Doom works it's simply not doable efficiently.

Reflections on slopes can be simulated by sticking one or more thin 3D layers on top of the slopes.
