'Big Ammo Box' in Doom games not shown correctly

MetalPede

Hi there

At the moment I'm playing the 'Memento Mori 2' wad using Doomsday 1.9.7 (build#425).

I'm using the addonpackage for weapons and ammo etc. Everything looks right except for the 'Big box of ammo' which is not shown correctly in '3D' like other ammo-packs and weapons. It looks completely flat - not even '2D'.

I'm playing the game in windows XP Servivcepack 3.

P.S. Keep up the fantastic work on the engine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check to see if the ammo box ded and model files are in the right place. You can put the ded under defs/jdoom/auto and the box files under data/jdoom/models/items. I just checked my Items folder and the ammo box folder's name is A-AmmoBox, and the folder contains AmmoBox.dmd and AmmoBox.png.

Hey Gary...

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the Doomsday engine itself. The 'Big Ammo-box' has always worked correctly in previous versions - all the way back to v. 1.8.6. and it's the same addon-pack I have always used.

But maybee you could check it for yourself if you are running Doomsday 1.9.7. (Build#439).

Doom 2 level 03 - there's a ammo-box present in the first open-space-area. Idclip is the fastest way

If you got the time it would be appreciated - thanks !

*PROBLEM SOLVED*

BUT...I still believe the problem came from an updated version of Doomsday.

In my 'addons'-folder I have an unpacked folder called 'jdrp.box' (unpacked from the file 'jdrp-packaged-20070404.zip'). As mentioned ALL items in this pack is shown correctly EXCEPT for the 'Big Ammo-box.

I took the .pk-file named 'jdrp-ammobox.1.01.pk3' out of that folder and put it in the 'root' as a kind of seperate .pk and now it works. How Doomsday can read the other 108 .pk-files in the folder is still a mystery to me though :-/

I never install the models under addons. I always had some problem with that. I just install them in the same place I mentioned in my first post in this thread. Also, I'm using Kingennio's updated models with Tea Monster's caco and pinky replacing the original caco and pinky models.
