Addresses #904. Defines the SUPPORT2 texture as though the SUPPORT2 patch were always 64 pixels tall.
A few pixels on the patch itself have been adjusted to get rid of a slightly visible seam, but the full patch height of 72 is unchanged.
Issue #866 turns out to be the case for all of these.
The little wood crates and VGCRATE1 are already normal in their shading.
The big wood crates are a mix of contiguous or outlined on both sides; the wood grain means any such stuff isn't very visible anyways.
I've also updated *CRATEM1 to give them the dark lined look the ends of the crates have. This might make the repetition too obvious but overall it seems like an improvement.
The idea here is that the horns on the skulls indicate the same shapes
as those used for the keycards:
* Blue: X shape
* Red: Horizontal (horns point horizontally atop head)
* Yellow: Vertical
In order to do this I color-swapped and exchanged the graphics for the
red and blue skull keys. This commit updates the skull key sprites,
status bar key icons and the skull key wall textures. As well as as the
color swap, I've also tweaked the skulls to increase emphasis on the
horn directions.
Added new textures with stock patches, check the comments.
Removed broken glasses textures since it was unused.
added a new light patche, t14_4, by korp.
The original DISASTER texture has the DOGRNMEN patch at (0, 0) and the DISASTER patch at (0, 32), and with the current DISASTER patch, it is almost cut off.
Korp submitted these on the Discord server. I converted the textures, and cut the "Disaster Area" text out of the texture using the "clean" version of the texture and the original version of the texture.
Now they only use the colors that have been used in DOOM's version of
the corresponding patches. This should prevent them from being too
bright or unnatural-looking.
Re-align the lines on BRICK and MOSSBRIK so they are at approximately the same height as the brick lines on the original Plutonia BRICK and MOSSBRIK. I just eyeballed the height of the lines.
Height has been extended to 128, and new patches have been added (LFALLx) and are used instead of RWDM11x. I am deliberately leaving the original patches as-is, for the sake of PWAD compatibility.
These were Espi's second set of STAR* textures that he made for
Freedoom, and he ultimately replaced them with the ones that we have
now. However, I always liked these textures and the fact that they have
a very different and distinctive look compared to the original Doom
STAR* textures.
While this doesn't roll back STAR* to using these textures (and I don't
think we should), it adds them back as a second set of textures under a
different name (s/STAR/ESPI/). It would be nice if some of the Freedoom
maps end up making use of these in places and a nice tribute to Espi who
contributed so much to Freedoom in its early years.
With WAD merging with certain Doom 2 mods (eg,
doom2/Ports/megawads/strg), using a sprite in this texture causes some
engines to crash on loading the game. The mod makes up its new BOSF*
sprites but omits BOSFA0, which caused our game to crash when trying
to load Freedoom with Struggle.
This can break Plutonia mod compatibility a bit if they try to replace
this sprite too, but let’s hope that will not happen.
Some mods (eg, crusades.wad) try to use SKY4 to (re)define other
textures, which doesn’t work in vanilla Doom, and the normal E4 sky
ends up creating a medusa effect.
While it is sad to see our light source go, reducing the effectiveness
of Double Impact’s lighting effects built into some of the maps, we
should prefer mod compatibility with Ultimate Doom.
Resolves#589
These patches are only used for TNT and Plutonia mod compatibility,
but we should at least keep them consistent with the skies we have in
the main campaigns.
