Map testing under teh C++

[MR_ROCKET]

Just wondering but has anyone worked on any test maps for the C++ version or are we still far off from that?
like a hexen doom combo map of the sort.

With IMS and Maces, and um..... Gloves that shoot green lightning and cyberdemons. lol. I don't think has done so rocket. Would be cool though .:) hehe

Smite had a test map mixing Doom and Hexen monsters, but that's about it.

Yeah. The problem is that the THING number ranges used by Doom, Heretic and Hexen overlap. For example, THING number 27 can be either a head-on-a-stick, a serpent torch or a swamp tree depending on the game.

The solution I thought up for this was to have (optional) commands in the [level info] block, inside the map separator lump, which remap some of the thing numbers.
For example, you could have the command

heretic_thingoffset 5000

which would tell the engine that all the thing numbers below 5000 would refer to Doom things (assuming this is a Doom map). Thing numbers above 5000 would have 5000 subtracted from them and then be interpreted as Heretic things. Am I making any sense here?:)

Yeah, that's a sweet idea. :D

Yep, that does make sense, and sounds simple to the end user too : )
