===================================================================== ===================================================================== All linedef types by number and function Based on Wadspec1.3, Deu help, and DMLINDEF.TXT Thanks to Matt Fell, Raphaël Quinet and Brendon Wyber, and Dr. Sleep. Note this document frequently uses the word linedef where the phrase linedef type is technically correct. Some editors refer to these as "Line Specials" or "Triggers" or "Platforms". Its purpose is to categorize the functions on sectors permitted by the Doom engines 1.2 and 1.666. The Doom 1 linedefs 1-104 (except 99) have been tried by me in experiments using Wadspec1.3 and Deu help as guide but not bible. (Many descriptions proved wrong, but an impossible task without these). The descriptions below are the result. Complete accuracy is not guarenteed, all I can say is they behaved as I describe in the environments I tested them in. Ambiguities exist in reference to WHICH neighbor sector defines an action. A document named LINTYP10.TXT by Brian McKimens was briefly available and gave the most cogent definitions of neighbor and sector matching I've seen to date. Linedef 99,100 and most above 104 are from Dr. Sleep's DMLINDEF.TXT and I have not done experiments on ALL of them though I tried to fill out the question marks in his document. I was not able to reproduce the S2/R behaviour for 122 (I get S1), or the "Closes 3 secs after leaving door sector" description for 112, (I get stays open). All these linedefs only work with the 1.666 engine. Dr. Sleep's descriptions were paraphrased to keep linedefs with identical functions described indentically. The following tables also show the number of times the linedef type was used in Doom1 and Doom2. This may help authors decide between similar line types, and warn against possibly buggy ones. No unusable ones have been found except possibly the three types still unknown: 72, 78, and 85. I have not attempted to explicate the 9 linedef type with a single line description, which all the rest are. Refer to the chainsaw pillar in E1M2 or the yellow key room of E2M2 in Doom 1 for an example. Note that the linedef list is reproduced twice - organized by number and by function. Jim F. Flynn, CIS: 72713,3334 This document should be viewed as preliminary, and I would appreciate any and all corrections/inputs/comments at the address above so a more correct, complete, and useful document can be produced as a reference for wad writing. I hope there aren't "numerous errors" but if there are I will fix them IF you report them. I also hope this proves useful. ===================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------- Linedef types by number --------------------------------------------------------------------- Note n. abbreviates neighbor, min and max mean minimum and maximum. u1 and u2 are the number of occurrences of the trigger in Doom 1 and 2. txt abbreviates texture, and typ stands for "sector type". Sw is used place of "switch sector". The trigger letters are as follows: D - special door trigger, no sector tag req. Acts on 2nd sidedef's sector. S - switch trigger, first sidedef must be used with spacebar to activate W - walkover trigger, only teleport linedefs req. approach from 1st sidedef M - monster walkover, activated only when a monster walks over the line G - gun trigger, activated when line hit (fists,chain,bullet,shell only) (Note: monster bullets/shells activate gun linedefs too!). Shots do not elevate/depress when shooting at a gun linedef. # u1 u2 TR Brief function description --------------------------------------------------------------- 0 0 0 -- Null tag indicating no function is assigned 1 281 220 DR Open door - closes in 6 sec 2 114 64 W1 Open door - stays open 3 2 9 W1 Close door 4 0 1 W1 Open door - closes in 6 sec 5 1 3 W1 Set floor to min n. ceil 6 0 0 W1 Start fast crusher ceil (slow damage) 7 11 6 S1 Rising staircase 8 2 1 W1 Rising staircase 9 2 0 S1 Complex floor action?
