UDMF Support

[HeadClot]

Hey @DataPlusProgram would it be possible to get UDMF support for this importer?

Spec
More info on the UDMF format and spec here

Yeah that would be really nice

[DataPlusProgram]

It now supports parsing of the UDMF format itself, so you can load the map geometry but a lot of more modern line types that commonly exist in these maps aren't supported yet.

Got it thank you. :)

You mean like e.g 3d floors?

[DataPlusProgram]

Yes, 3D floors is one of the features.
It also supports a lot more texturing features like scaling and rotating, it can allow slopes and portals.
It also has a scripting language ACS that would only work if I created an interpreter for it.

So is this done or not? Why isn't this issue closed?

[DataPlusProgram]

It supports the format but not the more modern features so the "Done" status is debatable.

I don't think it makes a difference either way if this issue is open or closed.

thanks for your work on this, i was playing around myself but if i try playing with dooms maps again i will use this... i wonder how you saved the sorta "holes" you get in doom maps... the way i failed to build doom maps as polygons is i couldn't get any sort of clipping library to work... yunno in doom it's like you could have sectors indie sectors right

[DataPlusProgram]

In regards to handling sectors with holes in them I follow the method described here: https://medium.com/@jmickle_/build-a-model-of-a-doom-level-7283addf009f
