Hell Knight BUG

[wesleyjohnson]

Some of the existing Hell Knight graphics are reversed left-right.
The knight will appear to walk backwards at times.
This is hard to see many times but I have verified it in a test wad.
The Baron does not have this problem and is using a different stepping
scheme.

Some of the sprite files for the right side of the first step are drawn from the left side instead. These can be flipped, but it also works to rename them so they are displayed flipped.

rename BOS2A6C4 BOS2C4A6
rename BOS2A7C3 BOS2C3A7
rename BOS2A8C2 BOS2C2A8
rename BOS2B6D4 BOS2D4B6
rename BOS2B7D3 BOS2D3B7
rename BOS2B8D2 BOS2D2B8

Someone should verify this, and then someone who assembles sprites should just fix it. I tested the renaming and it does look much better.

I currently am unable to submit so I cannot send you my bos2.wad.

I have been working on a spiderdemon but it looks like a mexican bandit on a swollen tick right now.
I still have not gotten him into a wad as I am still learning these tools.

Apologies for hijacking the thread, but Catoptromancy, could you please check your PMs?

[wesleyjohnson]

I will try this for the Hell Knight, but I will wait for the incoming
site for uploading the MAP09.

I would love to see an image of this.

Cannot get the ppm images into a post.

pnmtopng file.ppm > file.png

Or just load ppm with Gimp and save as png.

[wesleyjohnson]

This forum will not let me paste a graphic, the paste just stays grayed out. I loaded the images to speedyshare.

From experiments, the machine gun must be at that height and position, which forces it to be on top of the body.
I am considering giving him four legs and four matching arms, or
six legs and six arms, as it would look better.

Changed arms,

*** SPEEDYSHARE FILES ARE DISAPPEARING ***
Speedyshare links are going bad (on their own). The swollen tick and v2 files are already gone.
We need the incoming site to come back online.
