That to me is the biggest problem with brightmapped textures.

It's also a problem with dynamic lights, when you have light sources in the sector.

Just a question about brightmaps.
In GZDoom 323, did brightmaps ever cause strange glitches such as placing them on other textures randomly?
Its just mainly a ST Question to try and fix a bug with them.

Only asking because I cannot get this to happen in 323.

I can't remember when that problem was fixed. Probably later.

I'v just made brightmaps for Heretic waiting for comments and suggestions

But here's a problem with iron lich, hes brightmaps aren't working, I'v got no idea how to fix it

I'll return to Doom's brightmaps (making eyes darker and so on) after Hexen and Strife.
So I'm still waiting for critics and suggesions about it.

Annd one more question about Doom.
Is this the place you talking about in MAP27?

The heretic brightmaps are really cool!

I wish I knew more about them I could probably help you fix them.

Did you name them HEADxx or LICHxx? These sprites get internally renamed to un-clash them from Doom's cacodemon.

Sprite is named "HEADA1"
Brightmap is located "Brightmaps\Heretic\HEADA1.png"
In "HticDefs.bm" it looks this way
----
brightmap sprite HEADA1
{
map "Brightmaps/Heretic/HEADA1.png"
iwad
disablefullbright
}
----
The same way as any other brightmap, but this one doesn't work.
Maybe it's related with iron lich propertis.

That's it. Change the definitions and brightmap names to be named LICH* instead of HEAD* and it'll work. There are a few more conflicts in Hexen and Strife, so look at this article for a full list.

Thanks! Now it works

The Heretic ones look really good. A real enhancement to the game.
