Heretic: Patch as a background for "intermission screen"
Description
As a mod creator
I want to be able to set Patch picture (320x200) as a background for "intermission screen" in Heretic
The goal here is to have an ability to set a Patch background in any Map Info script for any level.
The last version of the main definition is here: https://github.com/skyjake/Doomsday-Engine/commit/53e66cf4a316637253b4c6d0cf1e04e5bd12a0a3
Example:
Map Info {
ID = "E1M2";
Name = "E1M2: The Dungeons";
Author = "Raven Software";
Flags = "mif_spawn_all_firemaces";
Gravity = 1;
Intermission background = "Flats:FLOOR12";
Sky height = 0.6;
Sky Layer 1 {
Flags = "slf_enable";
Texture = "SKY1";
};
}
Currently I can confirm that only "Flats" are relevant and working properly:
Intermission background = "Flats:XXX";
Any other attributes, like "Patches" result in black background, despite that selected Patch picture is existed in the wad.
I still assume if Patch background is used in Doom, it could be transported the same way for Heretic
In case of Doom 1 the picture names that are used for it are:
WIMAP0
WIMAP1
WIMAP2

Heretic|Intermission: Using a patch image as background
The Intermission Background of a Map Info can now be set to a patch in Heretic.
Instead of attempting to solve this at a lower level, the intermission drawing routine now checks whether the defined image is a flat or a patch, and draws it with bespoke code for the type of resource.
