48x48 Textures in Boom

[Matthias]

It seems prBoom port for some reason can't properly display 48x48 textures. How so? Is there a way to fix it?

 

Thanks

It only wants powers of two. So 2, 4, 8j, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, etc.

 

Note that vertical tiling seems fine. However, vanilla can only tile vertically every t128 texels -- if a texture is shorter, you get the weird pixel vomit known as tutti-frutti; and if a texture is taller it gets cut short at 128. This was fixed in Boom, but not the horizontal tiling issue.

 

Something you can do is cheat. Define your texture as being very large, like 2048x48 or something, and manually tile the patch yourself every 48 pixels in the texture editor. As long as you use it on lines that are a multiple of 48 and shorter than 2048 (or whichever size you chose) it should look right.

The texture width needs to be a power of 2. Otherwise it cuts down to lowest.

You would need to widen it to 64 and then use a series of 48 units linedefs. Or just enlarge them.

The solution is kinda bizzare and it felt wierd doing it... but suprisingly it works :D Thanks!
