I couldn't find this in any tutorial but it's used in almost every mod.
How to place falt wall texturs used to support beams, fences etc?

2 - how to add a tile which transports player to a following level? Used in Unsung, Orb of Dilaaria and lot of other things.

Ok, thanks,, but if I don't know how is this called in Wolf language how is this link supposed to help me?

[Tricob]

They're a list of links to code tutorials. Just click the proper link, and the tutorial appears.

[Max]

Well... I noticed that

What I was asking about is how are the feature I was referring to in the first post, are properly called in Wolfenstein modding community. Since I don't know how I don't know under what name should I look for them Sorry for bothering you with my questions ;p

I think you mean directional sprites (tutorial by Ripper) and end level tile (tutorial by Adam Biser).

[Max]

This and this. Directional sprites? I always supposed they are walls (in the way the engine renders them).

Thank you. I'll try to put this in my mod ;]

edit:
So level ending tile is actually an object instead of floor code? Could I just change a code of one of floors to make it end current level with all it's consequences?

It's not either; it's invisible. It only spawns a Static Object if you program it to.

If you prefer.

I tried to remove lives and level counter. So i just removed that hoping that will somehow work. Now the complier says there is a "undefined reference to `DrawLives()". -> unsigned screenBits = 0 If I only knew what are ScreenBits!

[Tricob]

Try commenting out the lines that call up "DrawLives", but leave the routine itself in. The routine itself will start with the word "void". I don't recommend removing the routines entirely unless you're a very experienced coder.

Off the top of my head, DrawLives and DrawLevel are called up in WL_AGENT and WL_GAME. It probably appears more than once in these files.

[Max]

Well, now I'm cunfused once again.
I tried to make working exe with some features for second time. I did everything that made this damn thing work for the last time, but again - it doesn't want to cooperate. I thought coding is about logic but it seems it's just the contrary as the complier is able to find most useless arguments just to work not.

Like?

"unsigned screenBits = -1; // use "best" color depth according to libSDL"
When floors and ceiling are enabled.

When shading and directional sprites are enabled (wxcept directional sprites, which I didn't try before).
As I mentioned - it worked previously.

[Tricob]

You need to add the WL_SHADE files to your project. Same goes for the DIR3D files and FLOORCEILING.

[Max]

Hm. Right! So it's still about logic, after all.

"unsigned screenBits = -1; // use "best" color depth according to libSDL"
I keep getting warinings about this.

The problem is that unsigned value can't have a negative value because it's missing the sign bit.

Change the value to:

::: CODE :::

unsigned screenBits = 0;

And adjust this piece in id_vl.cpp to this:

::: CODE :::

if(screenBits == 0)
{
    const SDL_VideoInfo *vidInfo = SDL_GetVideoInfo();
    screenBits = vidInfo->vfmt->BitsPerPixel;
}

No more warnings

[Max]

What files are required to run directional 3D sprites?
I've added wl_dir3dspr only.

" [Linker error] undefined reference to `Scale3DShape(unsigned char*, unsigned int, statstruct*)' "

[Tricob]

Did you try the "Clean" command or the "Rebuild All" command in the compiler?

[Max]

Rebuild all.
