Universal Doom Map Format ZDoom extensions v1.15 - 14.12.2010

===============================================================================
This document discusses only the additions ZDoom makes to the UDMF
specification.
=======================================
I. Grammar / Syntax
=======================================
No changes.
=======================================
II. Implementation Semantics
=======================================
------------------------------------
II.A : Storage and Retrieval of Data
------------------------------------
No changes.
-----------------------------------
II.B : Storage Within Archive Files
-----------------------------------
In addition to the base specification ZDoom recognizes the following lumps
between the TEXTMAP and ENDMAP lumps:
BEHAVIOR = contains compiled ACS code
DIALOGUE = contains compiled Strife conversation scripts.
ZNODES = Nodes (must be stored as extended GL nodes. Compression is allowed
but deprecated for portability reasons.)
BLOCKMAP = blockmap. It is recommended not to include this lump in UDMF maps.
REJECT = reject table. Recommended use is for special effects only.
Lumps starting with 'SCRIPT' are guaranteed to be ignored by ZDoom so they
can be used to store ACS and dialogue script sources.
--------------------------------
II.C : Implementation Dependence
--------------------------------
ZDoom supports all namespaces defined in the base specification and adds two new
ones:
"ZDoom"
"ZDoomTranslated"
The only difference between these two namespaces is how line, thing and sector
specials are handled:
'ZDoom' uses Hexen type specials which are ZDoom's native implementation.
'ZDoomTranslated' uses Doom-type specials. Such maps have to be processed by
a special translator. A special translator is a text lump that defines how
Doom-format specials are translated into Hexen-format specials. By default
each game defines its own translation table but these can be overridden in
MAPINFO. It is the mapper's responsibility to choose the correct translation
table for a map.
=======================================
III. Standardized Fields
=======================================
ZDoom's namespaces implement all fields from the standard, regardless of
any restrictions mentioned in the spec.
In particular, the 'ZDoomTranslated' namespaces implements thing specials.
These will ignore the implicit trigger type and triggering semantics are the
same as for native maps.
The only field not fully supported is the thing's 'friend' field. ZDoom does
not offer MBF's friendly monster implementation and will remap any use of this
field to 'strifeally', even for the 'Doom' namespace.
In addition to the standard fields, ZDoom defines the following:
Note: All <bool> fields default to false unless mentioned otherwise.
vertex
{
zfloor = <float>; // Floor height at this vertex. Only applies to triangular sectors
zceiling = <float>; // Ceiling height at this vertex. Only applies to triangular sectors
}
linedef
{
alpha = <float>; // Translucency of this line, default is 1.0
renderstyle = <string>; // Render style, can be "translucent" or "add",
// default is "translucent".
playeruseback = <bool>; // New SPAC flag, true = player can use from back side.
anycross = <bool>; // New SPAC flag, true = any non-projectile
// crossing will trigger this line
monsteractivate = <bool>; // Monsters can trigger this line.
// For compatibility only because this flag's
// semantics can not be fully reproduced with
// explicit trigger flags.
blockplayers = <bool>; // Line blocks players' movement.
blockeverything = <bool>; // Line blocks everything.
firstsideonly = <bool>; // Line can only be triggered from the front side.
zoneboundary = <bool>; // Line is a boundary for sound reverb zones.
clipmidtex = <bool>; // Line's mid textures are clipped to floor and ceiling.
wrapmidtex = <bool>; // Line's mid textures are wrapped.
midtex3d = <bool>; // Actors can walk on mid texture.
checkswitchrange = <bool>;// Switches can only be activated when vertically reachable.
blockprojectiles = <bool>;// Line blocks all projectiles
blockuse = <bool>; // Line blocks all use actions
blocksight = <bool>; // Line blocks monster line of sight
locknumber = <int>; // Line special is locked
arg0str = <string>; // Alternate string-based version of arg0
* Note about arg0str
For lines with ACS specials (80-86 and 226), if arg0str is present and non-null, it
will be used as the name of the script to execute, and arg0 will be ignored.

// When global texture offsets are used they will
// be added on top of these values.

lightabsolute = <bool>; // true = 'light' is an absolute value. Default is
// relative to the owning sector's light level.

soundsequence = <string>; // The sound sequence to play when this sector moves. Placing a
// sound sequence thing in the sector will override this property.
hidden = <bool>; // if true this sector will not be drawn on the textured automap.
* Note about dropactors
The spec requires this to be false by default. Currently, however, ZDoom assumes this to be true
for Doom format maps so any map converter converting to the ZDoomTranslated namespace should
set this flag for each tagged sector.
}
thing
{
skill# = <bool> // Unlike the base spec, # can range from 1-16.
class# = <bool> // Unlike the base spec, # can range from 1-16.
conversation = <int> // Assigns a conversation dialogue to this thing.
// Parameter is the conversation ID, 0 meaning none.
countsecret = <bool>; // Picking up this actor counts as a secret.
arg0str = <string>; // Alternate string-based version of arg0
* Note about arg0str
For things with ACS specials (80-86 and 226), if arg0str is present and non-null, it
will be used as the name of the script to execute, and arg0 will be ignored.
}
*** Special notes for map format conversions:
Setting the line's ID via special is not supported so any special using
this option must be converted to use the line's ID field instead.
Unless mentioned differently the arg being used to define the line ID
should be set to 0.
The following line specials are affected:
121: Line_SetIdentification, arg 0
208: TranslucentLine, arg0 (arg0 must be preserved)
1: Polyobj_StartLine, arg3
5: Polyobj_ExplicitLine, arg4
181: Plane_Align, arg2
215: Teleport_Line, arg0
222: Scroll_Texture_Model, arg0 (arg0 must be preserved)
160: Sector_3DFloor, arg4 (both uses as high-byte of tag and line ID are not supported in UDMF and must be remapped)
Some specials also allow setting the extended flags. These must also be
converted to explicitly setting the flags through the defined map fields.
This affects the following specials:
121: Line_SetIdentification, arg1
208: TranslucentLine, arg3
These args are to be converted as follows to flags, bit by bit:
Bit 0 (Value 1): zoneboundary
Bit 1 (Value 2): jumpover
Bit 2 (Value 4): blockfloaters
Bit 3 (Value 8): clipmidtex
Bit 4 (Value 16): wrapmidtex
Bit 5 (Value 32): midtex3d
Bit 6 (Value 64): checkswitchrange
Bit 7 (Value 128): firstsideonly
When used in special 208 this arg should be cleared afterward.
Special 121 is not being used by UDMF maps in ZDoom and should be completely
deleted after conversion.
