He looks more distressed to me. It looks like he's staring at his spoon to me.

Maybe it's his bootspoon...

That just reminded me.....the Chef would be a totally awesome Skulltag skin. If only we had sprites...

Chef Quest!

I posted the bug in the Tech Support topic. If you view it at a long distance [the end of the level outside of the maze is a great place to do so], the renderer makes the building "warp" around.

Ah, the rounded observation deck in E1M1. Epic.

What do you mean "Warp"? Does the building get distorted? If so, then this is probably a Zdoom software render, you should play it in GZDoom if you don't like it.

i think its an LOD thing...you're so far away, its trying to render it not as important, but it looks weird...

The game needs to work with the EXE provided.

*Cough* Chukker isn't a programmer *cough* (Or, at least I don't think he knows how to change the rendering!)

Manny Cav · June 19, 2009, 10:28:31 AM

I never suggested that. I'm thinking he may need to alter the building somehow. Maybe monkey with the distance, the size, texturing, anything to see if the problem can be fixed. The warping seems to occur only when it's viewed at a certain distance, so the distance is the first thing I would check out.

Chukker · June 19, 2009, 10:54:33 AM

I tried fooling with that particular error for a bit. It's unfortunately a known bug when viewing into stacked sectors from a great distance with ZDoom/GZDoom. The error occurs with those exes as well. I was able to avoid similiar problems with E2M1 by adding extra turns in the hallways before you look into the stacked sector, but the hedge maze would take some significant redesign to fix the issue. I really want to keep the visible exterior of the museum in the level as well as allowing the player to see the maze from above, so I might have to live with this particular bug.

Atariangamer · June 19, 2009, 12:14:31 PM

i'm wondering...is the outside all one big sector (or at least connected?) if so, you might could do something about building the outside sector into the building instead of making tricks with it...

or maybe...if you could make a custom skybox, and have it line up with the map...

Replica · June 19, 2009, 12:25:37 PM

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, which building is warped?
