Everyone loves the acid pool

I've added plenty of snazzy effects and gameplay features over the last week. However they're going to take time to test, plus many of them require external resources that I haven't add to the WAD yet(a WAD is where all the data is kept).

First up is water/acid effects. All you have to do is add a "Sector Water" thing to a sector and give the water height and scroll speeds in the things arguments. The ceiling texture is used for the water which means it's impossible to have a sector have both a ceiling and water, but I don't see ceilings being used often anyway.



Second is sector lighting, similar to the PSX version of Doom. Again all someone has to do is add a "Sector Color" thing and specify the Red,Green and Blue components in the arguments. Colors also work with lighting effects. Here the floor texture is the white/silver pentagram and the sector color is set to 255, 128, 20. There are also new line triggers to change a sector light level, light effect and color, I'm sure people remember when you would walk into a room in Doom and the lights would go out.



That's it for now. The Manubus is in there because I tried adding in some AI functions while away, but they didn't quite turn out(he acts retarded) [sad]

Looking nice, Scet! Now that we have confirmed that it's going to look great, I can't wait to start seeing how the gameplay evolves. Primarily because gameplay is usually followed by playable demo. [smile]

Speaking of demos, when the bloody hell are we going to see a MM download? It looks somewhat playable from the shots and a demo doesn't have to be the final version.
