Raybaster Help???

[ScottieB]

I am trying to continue with my raycaster engine.

I'm working on doors and the code is right but...

How do I fix the texturemaps on the doors they are not a nice as the walls.
Any ideas???

Please help if you can.

 just use polygons like.. Wolf 3D demo does.

 there's also a must more optimal version of your original code posted here (login required)

hey scottie

I spent the last week going through your code, figuring out how it worked, using step-trace mode etc.
I worked out most of it (see pic 2) and have come up with a few ideas.

1. I worked out a door texture fix, by extending the ray until it hit the door offset position. it works but is not perfect yet(see pic 1).
2. I added a lockbuffer loop after the main ray loop, to draw the screen texture strips much faster.
3. I removed a bottle neck loop that was greatly slowing down the FPS.

I hope this helps you, and I think it is a clever idea how you created a 3D image from a 2D map.

I will continue to refine the door texture, as it is slightly different between + direction, and - direction.
I also want to look at smoothing out the wall top and bottom edges, as this will also smooth out the wall textures too.

Steve,
