Polyobject Rendering problems (Still NOT Solved as of 2/6/10)

[glaber]

While trying to make a polyobject, I ran into this problem:

The polyobject's texture renders down to the floor. Now I though that Polyobject wall textures would work in a way close to that of FOF's, but it looks like I'm missing something.

Info about the Polyobject:
has a collsion area of a 64X64X64 area
was suppose to render a 64 X 64 area of texture on all polyobject walls
polyobject moves back and forth via waypoints
Texture in use is 256X256
Effect 5 is not checked

So how do I get it to only render 1/4 of the texture?

So no one knows how to fix this?

I'll post the Wad file if I need to.

I'll post the Wad file if I need to.

Yes, that would be very helpful.

It will be ready in aprox 2 hours from this post.

EDIT: Sorry, Completely forgot about this when I got home a few hours ago. I got distracted by Psyconauts.

Okay, here is the wad file:

Use the midtexture, not the lowertexture.

I can't help but notice you are recreating the disco level from Wizard 1?

 

[glaber]

Why yes. I believe it played some part in the creation of the Disco Room of Eggrock act 2, did it not?

Even if it didn't, recreating the level served as a good way to experiment with polyobjects and Zoom tube way points.

Oh, and I hate to say it, but I am using the mid texture.

I got to wonder if the Polyobject renders its linedef texture at the texture's real size as opposed to how FOF's Render their linedef textures.

 

[fickleheart]

Actually, that's exactly how they render. They render as though you placed some stray linedefs in the map and set some middle textures.

So if you wanna have something with a height uneven to your texture, you'd have to make a clone texture at the needed height.

Well that explains it then. I got to wonder if it will be fixed in 2.0.5 or later.
