13:07 Doomsday Engine Bug #613: [InFine] Inadvertent background animation

In the above situation InFine would opaquely generate a new material variant specific to the context/scope of the scr... danij

12:58 Doomsday Engine Feature #1501: Non-64-pixel flats

Ah, yeah. In that case it sounds like he wants a per-surface material scaling factor (XG 2.0?) danij

23:59 Doomsday Engine Bug #1634: [Hexen] Hypostyle: Death Wyvern gets stuck

I suspect that specific behavior (flying down to the floor) is a actually a symptom of a more general broken flier be... danij

23:40 Doomsday Engine Bug #1634: [Hexen] Hypostyle: Death Wyvern gets stuck

I've seen this happen a few times, though I can't be certain whether its not also present in vanilla (needs testing). danij

23:54 Doomsday Engine Bug #251: [Doom] Nightmare monsters sometimes not fast

Yep, its certainly not specific to our port. danij

23:26 Doomsday Engine Bug #251: [Doom] Nightmare monsters sometimes not fast

The underlying cause of this is that game rules are not handled correctly, neither serialized properly to saved games... danij

23:52 Doomsday Engine Bug #877: Texture offset anomaly

Yes, the two are intrinsically related. danij

23:48 Doomsday Engine Bug #613: [InFine] Inadvertent background animation

My long term plan for the material system is to allow new materials to be defined on the fly and not just during star... danij

23:43 Doomsday Engine Feature #438: Accurately hit testing fast projectiles (compatibility option)

Yep, that is precisely the cause. Its a flaw in the vanilla algorithm for detecting crossed lines, which, we can't ch... danij

23:38 Doomsday Engine Bug #346: Overriding Map Info in addons (level par time; jdep)

No, presently the DED parser does not support the "mods" directive on MapInfo definitions (it should...). danij

23:35 Doomsday Engine Bug #216: Wrong model rendered (Model Selector/DED reader)

I'll need to retest this but OTOMH this was fixed some time ago, along with the related issues of models facing the w... danij

23:31 Doomsday Engine Bug #1064: [Hexen] Interludes can no longer be moved (MAPINFO vs. Infine)

Perhaps a mechanism that interprets Hexen's MAPINFO data into Doomsday MapInfo definition patches which can be applie... danij

23:24 Doomsday Engine Bug #1631: Doom 2 finale: animation speeds for the Cast

This sounds like a caching issue to me. danij

23:22 Doomsday Engine Feature #1369: Dynamic map lists (episode structure)

The same mechanism should also integrate Hexen's concept of "hubs" alongside Doom's "episodes". Conceptually the two ... danij

23:15 Doomsday Engine Feature #1577: Voxel models

See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VHGBxgBitc
Doing voxels properly in GL is actually quite complicated. danij

23:10 Doomsday Engine Feature #1548: Multi-monitor support

I question whether sharing of a GL-context is possible. Surely, this mandates that both monitors are exactly the same... danij

23:07 Doomsday Engine Feature #1546: Option for particle generator to hide sprite

Note that in the past mod authors have used a "null model" definition for this purpose. danij

23:04 Doomsday Engine Feature #1540: Smaller near clip distance

We already have issues due to depth buffer precision in large maps, where the sky stops rendering correctly. Before d... danij

22:47 Doomsday Engine Feature #1501: Non-64-pixel flats

We do indeed already support using any texture type on any surface. This is implemented opaquely via the Material mec... danij

22:38 Doomsday Engine Feature #1487: [InFine] ximage: support for 8-bit paletted PNG images

The texture manager should already support this, yes. danij

22:35 Doomsday Engine Feature #1469: Changing the blood sprite's color

Perhaps the translation could be specified with an inline Doomsday Script? danij

22:33 Doomsday Engine Feature #1468: Sky layers seperate vertical offset

No, it has not been merged. However, I would now prefer to re-implement this rather than attempt to merge in that old... danij

22:29 Doomsday Engine Feature #1462: Light Amp Goggles and Torches affect dynamic lights

I believe what vermil was looking for is a way to apply dynamic lightings to a surface that is already "fully bright"... danij

22:23 Doomsday Engine Feature #1447: Co-op player actions (giving, healing)

In my opinion this is something I would expect to see in a mod rather than an explicit feature. Once Doomsday Script ... danij

22:16 Doomsday Engine Feature #1627: Render game view to a texture

The more important use case here is the portal effects as this enables all manner of algorithms which are presently b... danij

22:09 Doomsday Engine Feature #1626: Area-based fog

Open question: Should fog "volumes" be defined using map geometry primitives (i.e., lines and vertexes) or via some o... danij

22:08 Doomsday Engine Feature #1624: Render particles to textures

Can you give an example of where such an effect would be used? danij

22:05 Doomsday Engine Feature #1414: Generate particles when touching a plane

We need to carefully consider the logically separation between mobj and particle generator. Particles which affect th... danij

21:59 Doomsday Engine Feature #1412: Camera effect: screen shaking

Note that Hexen already implements a basic version of this for use with the "localized [earth]quake" effect. The "pro... danij

21:54 Doomsday Engine Feature #1406: Record particles and other effects in demos

Can't we seed the RNG used for particle effect randomization? This would mean that provided the same generators are u... danij

I personally think this should be ignored because it would result in dependencies between the playsim and graphics sy... danij

21:04 Doomsday Engine Feature #1305: Particle generator flag: instantly kill generator

Actually that would probably be a better solution anyway, given that mobjs can be reanimated (e.g., Archvile in DOOM). danij

12:34 Doomsday Engine Feature #1265: Map-specific definitions in a WAD lump
