v2.0 Match/CTF Preview (Updated July 1st, 2009)

I'm an idiot, so...

What's a polyobject?

IIRC A polyobject is sorta like a sector that can move in any direction and turn, but not tilt. A good example would be comparing a Door from DooM and one from Hertic/Hexen. The door from DooM can only go up or down, but the Door from Hertic/Hexen can swing open/shut.
I might be wrong though...

And in the Case of ZDoom (source port) they can even move forward and back.

So in layman's terms, sectors that go spinny in circles? (Maybe not an accurate, or good layman's terms description, but I still get it.)
Thanks.

Polyobjects can also be used to make trains/cars (I think), clouds, horizontally moving platforms, etc.

 

[Jellybones]

Wow, that's awesome. I love polyobjects now!

 

[Chaos Knux]

FOF + horizontal movement + rotation = polyobject

Correct?

 

[SSNTails]

Collision-wise, they are very flexible. Visibility though, leaves something to be desired. They have their place, don't make them out to be more than what they really are.

What do you mean by that?

 

[Drake Spyker]

Have you ever had a sector in Duke Nukem 3D leave the surrounding sector it started in? There's some really weird slime trails and other graphical errors that result from this action; I'd assume polyobjects are no different.

Polyobjects aren't something you "get around to fixing".

Polyobjects aren't the problem. They're a problem, but the real problem is OpenGL rendering itself. Which just needs one thing done, from what I understand.

 

[glaber]

Will texture from the Cut level Zero Ring remain?
Also what music tracks are in 2.0/ME? (Just in case I need to port a track from 1.09.4)

So any one care to answer these questions?

I thought you weren't going to fix OpenGL for 2.0. Somebody said it was a hassle just to get OpenGL working for 1.09.4. Or maybe I was wrong. But I digress.

Back on topic, I have another question that'll probably get another obvious answer. Do you have to put every type of weapon ring into a match or CTF level?

I think that's a pretty gross understatement. Pleasepleaseplease learn to code before you think it's so easy.

Wait a bit and find out. =)

 

[glaber]

Oh alright. ;)

 

[Gemini Spark]

Meaning the Rickroll song still exists, right? *_*

EDIT: I guess I should clarify...

 

[glaber]

Tunes 57 doesn't exist now.
The rickroll song doesn't exist now either in srb2.

 

[Kaysakado]

Tunes 57 doesn't exist now.

And how would you know?

 

[Srb2kirbyo]

Tunes 57 doesn't exist now.

And how would you know?

Console:

 Tunes 57 
Error maprp music not found

It not that hard to see what tunes there are.

I know it doesn't exist in 1.09.4, we're talking about ME.

Well, if it didn't exist in 1.09.4/a, and doesn't exist in ME, then was it worth posting that it wasn't?
