An Unused Item in MM8BDM
« on: July 17, 2014, 07:12:29 PM »
Hey everyone, I'm back from my vacation and now I'm back home. Let me tell you something I encountered that was unused in MM8BDM. One day, when I was playing on a server I made (it was a cheats server), someone came on and summoned something I didn't know. It was called "bridge", and it was 3 squares that had the words "Gross Hack" on them. Now, if anyone working on MM8BDM knows what this was intended for, tell me. If you want a screenshot, here it is:

That isn't an unused item in MM8BDM, it's a Zandronum specific spawn.

A little bit more info on this actor. It's actually the "bridge thing" from Hexen, a game Zandronum (and before that, ZDoom) supports. In Hexen there were puzzles which could spawn these little particle bridges for you to jump on to reach certain areas.

For some reason though, when it was implemented into Zdoom it also came with a graphic put in by the developer called "gross hack". Not sure what the backstory is to this but it seems odd to me why there even is one, as summoning any other actor from a different game with the wrong graphics just summons them with no visual.
