Weapons don't show effect when fired at certain walls

Barry · Post by **Barry** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 14:20

I am not sure if this is a bug, but I saw that when you fire your weapon at certain building walls, you won't see the weapon's marks that it
always leaves behind on the normal walls, for example the pistol's bullet marks, and you won't see any of the lights shine on the walls. for
example when you fire a rocket, the rocket's light won't shine on the building's wall. You can see this in the wad "Cold As Hell: Special Edition". Warp to level 7 and cheat for all weapons, then go to the building on your right and fire your flamethrower at the building. You will see that only the lower part of the building reflects the light, but the higher part of the building will stay the same. I saw that the same happened in the wad "The City of The Damned : Apocalypse". At the beginning, you should follow the path in the forest until you see a fire
burning along the way and then turn left and follow that path straight ahead until you find a house, a tower and some cultists. Cheat for all
weapons and fire the rocket launcher at the lower third part of the tower. You will see that the lower part of the building will reflect the light,
but the higher part of the tower will stay the same. I want to show the screenshots, but I don't know how to attach it. It looks like it happens
in all of the GZDoom version 1.2.01 and later versions.

When you are making a post, scroll down. There will be an attachments area. Click the button to browse for the file you want then click the "add the file" button. Attached pictures are automatically displayed.

The alternative is to use an image host (eg I tend to use tinypic.com ) to upload the file to and then use image tags on this forum:

Code: Select all

Please keep screenshots small (eg 640x480) to avoid breaking the forum layout.

I can't reproduce this.

What's your graphics hardware?

If you mean my screen card, then it is a GeForce 8800 GT. I don't think that it has anything to do with my computer, because the walls I
am talking about doesn't even exist in Skulltag. It must have been a GZDoom feature that wasn't planned correctly, because it's like that in
all of the GZdooms (version 1.2.01 and higher)

I have no idea what you are talking about!

Don't worry, maybe nobody will see it. I'm just someone who really likes detail.

Please post a screenshot! Otherwise I'll close this thread.

Could you tell me step for step how you post a screenshot, because I can't get it right. I have the screenshot right here, but I still don't
know how you put it in the thread. You just have to see it to believe it.

Aright, I am at tinypic. It looks like I got everything I need, but what should I put at tags?

Don't bother. That's optional. Just browse for your file then press the big green upload button. Once you've done that, select whatever it gives you in the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" box and paste it into your message here.

You might be able to see that the lower parts of the wall is reflecting a light, but the higher parts stay the same.

I hope this works, the pictures are a little bit small, but that is the best I could get it.

Thank you for your help Enjay!

Indeed they are. How did you manage to make this tiny pictures. It's hard to see anything on them at all...

They're a bit small because you posted links to the thumbnails:

Hm. That's odd. I'm not getting such a glitchy effect.
