GZDoom Style GLDEFS skyboxes for Helion.

Open Meerschweinmann opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

Hello lovely Helion people,

it would be nice when there will be some day GZDoom style GLDEFS skyboxes.

As Doomguy can look up and down till his neck breaks in Helion engine, Helion is predestined to show skyboxes.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I think that would require some form of support for UDMF, and I'm not sure the engine's equipped to do all that at the moment. I'm personally hoping for it through, I'd love to be able to play Bridgeburner's maps without suffering from slideshow framerates.

Nothing against GZDoom, but it's just not equipped to handle that many linedefs, especially with the BSP tree most ports use.

GLDEFS skybox can exist outside of UDMF.

Also, UDMF support exists on dev right now, but it's not going to support everything GZDoom does.
