Oblige V7 Ongoing Development Discussion Megathread

[andrewj]

I double checked and yes, both have special 1 on them and in the dozen+ maps I haven't seen a single blinking fixture. I have no idea why, the code I used is correct.

It seems to be a limitation of the prefab system, as sector specials get attached to a floor brush, but here there is no floor brush as the flat is "_NOTHING".

The only workaround I can think of is to set the sector special to 987 ("Light Brush") and set the tag number to 1 (which becomes the special for the light brush).

Speaking of the built-in glBSPX inside the program, might there be an option to build the REJECT lump instead of just applying a zeroed one most of the time? It shouldn't take very long to build it considering ZenNode builds REJECT pretty quickly as well.

It is not worth building REJECT lumps these days (imho).

[Glaice]

Must be more of an OCD thing for me then. I'm used to seeing a non-zero built REJECT lump in my maps.

[andrewj]

The REJECT made by glBSP is not an empty lump, it is a valid reject lump, and does actually mark separated groups of contiguous sectors (like when teleporters are used, and also the monster depots) as not being able to see each other.

[Glaice]

Yea, I do occasionally do see some levels with some sort of REJECT built in it.

And speaking of clearing some of the engine choices, you should remove Skulltag, Odamex and Legacy.

I've noticed that all Oblige maps are in Boom: Doom 2 (Doom Format) and I'd like to know if it's possible to set it to use a different format, specifically GZDoom: Doom 2 (UDMF) since it allows a plethora of different options.

No, UDMF is not supported.

There is support for Hexen map format in the C++ code (the executable binary of OBLIGE), but no support in the Lua scripts to actually use it properly.
