multiple thokbarriers

[BlazingPhoenix]

Can there be multiple thok-barriers instead of just one huge one?

 

[Oogaland]

Anybody reading these yet?

Yup. You can even have thok barriers inside the level. This can help to assuage the software renderer when it's being unco-operative.

It culls in hardware mode, too.

Heh, thanks guys..this'll surely help as I don't like to make the thok barrier huge every single time I want to add more.

Just start out your level with a giant square, and enlengthen the lines as your level grows bigger. You don't need to make the lining of the thok barrier PERFECT...

You ever used DoomBuilder, Fury?

Actually, if you do the huge square method, you'll wind up with some nice HOMs in the sky for some weird reason. My best advice is to make the barrier hug the outskirts of the level by around 64 units minimum (although I'm uncertain as to how thin it can get before you can thok through); that way, it'll eliminate those HOMs, often keep a one-sided linedef nearby at all times to cull the rendering, and generally make the level look a lot neater.

I used a thok barrier thicknes of 16, that had no errors. :)

Thok Barrier thickness of 32 units here, no problems.

Actually, the required width is greater than 32. If you made a thok barrier of 32 units or less, you can still actually get through if you thok hard enough. You should widen your thok barriers, otherwise people might glitch through, and that's bad =P

Really? *Goes to widen Volanic Furnace's Thok Barriers (Doesn't have one yet anyway :P)*

 

[Blitzzo]

Under the default Doom Builder grid settings (32 units), two spaces is usually good.

Actually, I've found DoomBuilder defaults on 64 for me. Then again, I do recall futzing with the defaults a while ago, so that may be why. :P
