Couple of issues with my Heretic project
Hi there,
I made a new episode for Heretic and I wanted to be supported in most doom ports, so I tried Doomsday and here are some issues
1) After finnishing first map it shows only blackscreen, music is playing, but nothing is happening...
When i load the save position and try it agian, it happens again.
It doesn't seem to happening in other maps (which is strange, because it shows the same Heretic Map). The map of the word was edited, but still...
2) Sometimes there are FPS drops when there are too big spaces and too much enemies - there is nothing you I can do to avoid this? I mean, the engine doesn't assume too complex maps and such?
3) Some textures doesn't work and it shows only black color instead. Why?
Thanks for your replies!

2) Ddays renderer is designed for older computers and doesn't work as well on modern computers. Skyjake is working on a anew renderer of which you can check the progress on in recent news posts (Edit Blog posts, sorry).
3) The last time I tried it, in wad PNG textures were broken and displayed as black. Either switch them to doom format textures or load them as replacements for doom format textures.
1) Well, you finish the map and it shows statistics of kills and items and secrets as usual
Then it should show the map of the world and your location, however it shows only black screen and you can hear music, but nothing happens.. only ESC is the only key that responds...
It happend only after map 1.
2+3) Okay!
Thanks for your response!
I've noticed this sort of thing with Doom2 for map07, in multiplayer mode its text screen doesn't show, which is fine. Although it only shows black, if you wait for about 30 seconds or so, the map will start. ~ but before then you only see black.
if you choose the first one, it actually loads the pwad and it works fine
30 second waiting didn't help on my side
