Custom Textures (Please Read)

[Doom_Dude]

Anybody using thier own textures. You know what? It would make it much easier on me if people would send me thier textures in bitmap form. Otherwise I have to find your textures in your version of the resource wad, extract them and then merge them into the final wad. Its just too much xtra fumbling around. Maybe it's just that Im tired now and want a vacation.

...and even when thats all said and done I still have to figure out how to merge -Ki-'s patch manipulated wad with the one that has everybody elses textures.

*head hurts*

[DoomedAce]

I'm not sure. Did you update the texture wad with my stuff yet? If not I'd be happy to send the Bitmaps.

*hands over bag of ice cubes*

[Doom_Dude]

Yeah I already got your stuff.
I should've added... if you already sent in your stuff then don't worry about it. ;)

[iori]

So I'm fine then? Cause I could just as easily send over the bmp's.

[Aliotroph?]

Just check by downloading the texture wad and seeing if it works.

[iori]

Well I sent him my texture wad last night, so technically I sent in my stuff before this thread was posted, but as a convenience I can send bmp's.

[Lutrov71]

I have many new textures in my wad. Is the texture wad going to be released with the project or inside the main wad file?

[FATAL]

that sounds fine to me.

Oh, and one thing that bugs me VERY much, is that someone (fool?) has named his/her custom step textures to overwrite the old ones. Not exactly what I want.

[Doom_Dude]

Yeah send them over please. It'll be a great help. :)

The resource wad and the maps are all going to be merged together. Thats easy enough to do and I think seperate files would just be sucky. ;)

Ummm that sucks. What step texture was overwritten? We can add the normal one back in under a new name and you can use that if we need to.

[Aliotroph?]

I can see we're going to have to do some debugging once this is all merged. if the step textures are changed I'll have to change a few textures around in my level for sure.

[Doom_Dude]

Yeah debugging is right. I also need to debug whoever isn't working on this anymore. :p I might have to do anouther map myself if I have to. I do still have that Lavaplant level if we need to use it to fill a slot.

[FATAL]

Basically five of the first step textures were overwritten by almost the same texture, just cut in half horizontally, but since my steps are 16 units tall, they don't look very cool.

[Aliotroph?]

I thought the step textures were just 8 pixels tall and tiled to make 16.

[Doom_Dude]

Im pretty sure they're 16 high..... but anyways...

Ummmm I don't see any 'new' step patches in the wad and everything looks ok in the texture1 lumpage. *drinky*

[iori]

Maybe doom2 extended one of the step textures, so when the doom1 graphics were added, it changed it back?

[Doom_Dude]

I'm not sure but I was thinking it had to do with that merge thing Stphrz did. I really dunno.

Next time I do a project like this I'll know better. :p

You mean we're still missing some levels? That's not good. Just give me a call if you need help filling any open slots.

[Doom_Dude]

Torn has gone missing. I'm taking his slot and working to finish the Lavaplant map to fill in map03. If he ever appears with a finished map before this thing gets released then he can have the slot. Meanwhile I'm waiting to hear from Agent Spork as we haven't seen him around in awhile. His web site also went missing. :/

Then again maybe somebody else should do map03.... *bug*

[PumpkinSmasher]

If I had a map even somewhat done, I'd be glad to finish it for this project, but I don't and unfortunatley there is no way I could make a whole map by the end of the night to make the deadline

[Doom_Dude]

Like everybody is going to be done by the 16th. Not likely. Deadlines don't work.... just ask Valve Software about Sept 30th. :P

[Looney]

Whats a deadline? :D hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Doom_Dude]

I think it means if you cross it, then your dead or something and the demons will come and drag you down into the abyss. LOL. I know I've never actually been able to beat one before. :p

*dies*

[Looney]

LOL :D Thats what I was thinking too.

[iori]

It is good to have a goal though...

[Nuxius]

Well, I know that I'll need (I think one of Exl's maps needs it as well) the waterfall texture from Plutonia. Unfortunately, I don't own a copy of Final Doom, so I can't get it myself. Heh, I'm having to substitute a friggin' bloodfall for it right now, looks silly. :p

[-Ki-]

What do we do? send them in and tell you the same name we have them as in the wad so we don't get walls with missing stuff? (I'll send mine in with the wad when it's done)

[DoomedAce]

Suppose I could squeeze out a small map to fill one of the early slots, but that would take at least another two to three weeks *bug*

And how many strongs? Tell me that not too many! hehe...

[DoomedAce]

What are you babbling about? I never said that *guilty*

[Doom_Dude]

...and I thought that was a new comment until I actually read it again. :p
