(2 more beers for me) And your last couple of questions, it's possible, but I would require some modifications to the statusbar progs, I'll get you some details of this later, the latest SVN progs source has some lumps that define animations for an INTERPIC with offsets, so you can set them whenever you want, I don't know how complete it is thought.

[quote="Firebrand":qlfqcwne]Your sprite problem sounds like a bug, but I don't know, what happens if you name this same sprites the same as the plasma ball originals and place them in a WAD file? (2 more beers for me) Dunno, maybe a bug, maybe not. I wll try to define all i did: -> Sprites are Indexed PNGs with transparency -> I have modified the .VC for "PlasmaBall.VC" file. The "Spawn" state keeps unmodified, but the "Death state has one only frame instead of the two original frames. Note: I'm using Vavoom version 1.26, not 1.28 [quote="Firebrand":qlfqcwne]And your last couple of questions, it's possible, but I would require some modifications to the statusbar progs, I'll get you some details of this later, Although i dont need this now, it would be nice to have support for models at Full Screen Icons. [quote="Firebrand":qlfqcwne] the latest SVN progs source has some lumps that define animations for an INTERPIC with offsets, so you can set them whenever you want, I don't know how complete it is thought. Damnit... It sounds hard and long to implement. But afterall, that can be handly. The problem is: are those progs compatible with 2.16?

2.- Where is the shotgun/supershotgun area of effect defined? I need to change where the (super)shotgun shots hits, so they hit randomly over a circular area instead the classical Doom "line". I also need to increase the ammount of pellets, and not only their area of effect.Check corresponding state action methods. In 1.28 they are in Inventory class. In DECORATE you can use A_FireBullets action method.
1.- I want to make a weapon shooting at linear and conical shoots, something similar to Quake 2 Hyperblaster. The question is: where can i define the coordinates where the projectile will be spawned?There are different SpawnMissile methods that can be used.
1.- I have created two sprites to replace the "PlasmaBall" sprites at "Spawn" and "Death" states. The sprites are Indexed (256 color) PNG with transparency images. As i have a PK3 File instead a WAD, i have those sprites at "Sprites/Projectiles/PlasmaBall/" directory into the PK3. All seems correct, but game crashes just when i press "Hurt me plenty" (this is, when i start a new game). The game seems to recognize the sprites at "Sprites/Projectiles/PlasmaBall/" directory, cause when i set back the original sprites at PlasmaBall.vc, the game runs fine.Can you send me small sample PK3 file that has this problem.

But i need too to set different sounds for Blue Armor, Green Armor and Armor Bonuses. Same for Healing items. Is that possible? I noticed that, for example, Armor items (Blue, green and bonus armor) are all the same class (i think "DoomArmor" class, or something). The only way to change the sounds is maybe changing the class those items inherit. Is that possible without many complications? I also need to change the class from "Light Googles" and "Area Map" to inherit from the same class as "BackPack" (i think it's class name is "Item"), instead of inherit from "PowerupGiver", so i can change the pkup sounds to match the same sound as "BackPack".[/color:3jb3jwaw][/size:3jb3jwaw] [color=#00FF00:3jb3jwaw]PROBLEM SOLVED.[/color:3jb3jwaw] I have used the variable [color=#AAAAFF:3jb3jwaw]PickupSound[/color:3jb3jwaw], defined at the [color=#00FFFF:3jb3jwaw]Default Properties[/color:3jb3jwaw] section from each item:

<md2 file="models/items/bottle.md2" skin_anim_speed="6" skin_anim_range="3" offset_z="10">Tested and works fine. But i have now another question about models: I have a model (both skin and md2 files) to replace the [color=#FF40FF:2yv8f521]PlasmaRifle[/color:2yv8f521] model. The model has a different frame set as the model downloaded from Vavoom web page. What i need is to know how to change the XML file. This is, how to modify the XML file frames definition and indexes so i can set the correct frames for the new model. I found nothing at the Vavoom wikia. It would be nice to have some docs about this. Or even you can explain me, and i will try to write something to send you. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> [quote="Janis Legzdinsh":2yv8f521]

2.- Do you know how to make a kind of animated INTERPIC, like the Doom 1 one? Or even like the Quake 2 one?You can create an intermission map. Check KDIZD how it can be done.

You both help me out a lot. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> P.D. Last question: I have a high definition textures set (32 bit color, high detailed, 128x128, PNG). Does HIRESTEX lump works for Vavoom? Would you, Janis, think about implement support for specular and light maps? Or even shaders?

I have downloaded the Vavoom models, but im getting trouble to adapt my "own" models to the XML files. My modes have more frames (arround 100 frames for "IDLE", "Attack", "Walk" and "Death"). I have understand a bit how the XML works, but i dunno if the frameset at the XML should be have the same frame number as the frame number at the VavoomC definition file for that monster. For example, the zombie, has at the "Spawn" state: POSS A 4 A_Look POSS B 4 But my model has arroun 20 frames for the "Spawn" (Idle) state. Does i need to set the "Spawn" state to have also 20 frames or XML file overrides the VavoomC frame numbers? I really dunno if i have explained...

Check the state index in this animations, check how "inter" is used, this is the time the extra frames will last, this number should be minor to the actual frame duration, to see the frame duration, you can check the mancubus.vc file and see the duration of the first frame of the missile animation, you can put any number of extra animations as long as the inter numbers aren't beyond the duration of the actual frame, hope my explanation is good enough and helps.Karnizero

States {
Spawn:
POSS A 4 A_Look
POSS B 4
Loop
The Vavoom models have also two frames (one for each actor's frame) for IDLE (or Spawn) State, BUT my model has arround 20 or 30 frames, so i need to increase the number of frames at the Actor's code:
States {
Spawn:
POSS AAAAAAAAAA 4 A_Look
POSS BBBBBBBBBB 4
Loop
I cannot decrease the MD2 frame number. I'm using QuArK to do this, but deleting frames makes the model frame transition too bad (i have also deleted some frames already).
For weapons, i think i can use models, cause they have not so much frames as monsters.Karnizero
