Floor/Ceiling Files Found In SDL Source Code

Hello there. I was looking at the files for the Wolf4SDL source code when I found a file called "wl_floorceiling.cpp." Does this mean I can put some floor/ceiling textures in my mod? If I can, how may I do that? I've tried including the said file into the project file but it seems to have done nothing. Can anyone tell me how to use the file?

Thanks in advance.

Nice question. I have been just getting into the SDL code myself. Just figured out how to add outside atmosphere today. And I also want to know how to add floor/ceiling textures. I know there is the option in ChaosEdit to do so, but I think you have to uncomment the floorceiling line at the bottom of version.h file. Or, something like that...

Alright, I just did that; but it still didn't work I remember incorporating the floor/ceiling code in an old TC I was working on but obviously that's system won't work here.

(I really should be learning C)

Uncomment the lines for floor and ceilings in version.h (if I remember right it was USE_FLOORCEILINGTEX),
Rebuild all. Then in ChaosEdit select "3rd plain" and "split map" and then in 3D-mode press the button
that says something like "use multitextured ceiling (high) and floor (low) stored in your VSWAP" the button
with multicolor tiles...

Now place some ceilings and floors and save your maps... When you run the game now - you should see the floor/ceiling textures.

Aha, I have tried that and it didn't work; but then I have just discovered that the tiles that I must use for the floor and ceiling must be different from that generic gray stone wall (the very first wall graphic)

Now, I have stumbled upon another problem. I wish to incorporate gun bobbing in my mod but sadly, the code only works for the DOS version. I have also read the tutorial BrotherTank put up on the Diehard Wolfers forum; but since I am a newbie at C/C++, I wish to have the instructions put into more detail. Anyone willing to help?

Yes, I got the floors to work today as well. So, now in my Wolf3d Ep1 Lv1 test level, I have blue brick flooring and Stars in the sky with snow falling. Quite cool.

As far as gun bobbing goes, WLHack just did an SDL tutorial for that right on this forum. I think you need to have the original code implemented already though...

Ahh, I see. Now if I could only find that tutorial somewhere...

EDIT: Never mind, I found it.

I have put the DOS code inside of the SDL source code, and then I modified it with BrotherTank's tutorial but then I get lots of errors in my wl_agent.cpp file.



DOUBLE EDIT: Never mind, I'll just find someone else who can code and wants to help on the project

You have placed it to wrong place...
It has to be placed under Thrust function like this:

Code:


void Thrust (int angle, int32_t speed)
{
    int32_t xmove,ymove;
    unsigned offset;
   
    if (gamestate.bobdir != 1) gamestate.bobber++; else gamestate.bobber--;     
    if (gamestate.bobber == 10 || gamestate.bobber == 0) gamestate.bobdir ^= 1;   
    if (gamestate.bobdir2 != 1) gamestate.bobber2++; else gamestate.bobber2--;   
    if (gamestate.bobber2 == 20 || gamestate.bobber2 == 0) gamestate.bobdir2 ^= 1;

Okay I got that, but now for that "player gamestate setup." I see a "player state info" but I don't think that's it. Sorry for so many questions :O
