Good news - works like a charm.

Awesome. I actually knew what I was doing for once

Care to post a new version of the screenshot with the transparent hudmessage added in? Or is it not ready for that quite yet?

@Torm: Whoa.

Though your screenshots should be 640x480 or smaller!

Thanks for pointing that out. As much as I like the shot it violates screenshot thread rules so I deleted it.

No problem, I resized, reuploaded and reposted it

@Zap - Great, you are using my blood resources

Indeed, it has the perfect textures for the theme I'm doing.

Hot diggity. Both Zap610 and Nash's screens have kinda given me motivation to try mapping again, in the similar Silent Hill/horror type style. Including the use of dynamic lights as the only light sources (makes for a wonderfully erie effect).

Hehe, thx

Zap, I imagine the FPS will drop quite a bit with all those dynamic lights visible simultaneously.

I've been really careful with dynamic light usage in my wad. As it is, the frame rate already drops noticably due to the noise effect on screen. :/

Torm - ... *drool* ...

Works fine for me.

@Beta - Nifty, conc. the weapon sprites: Ask NMN, Eriance or Scuba!

Yeah, probably a good idea. I just have to figure out the whole scaling thing, though... http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?p=202383

@Daemonic:

Please don't post any more screenshots that are so dark that it is almost impossible to see something. I'm already considering removing the 2 already there because they don't contribute anything of value.
