Precision loss on load/save, again

So I thought this issue was resolve long, long time ago. And yet I notices precision loss on slanted / angled brushes (mitered corners, etc.) in the vicinity of 0 0 0 of the map, if I save/load the map several times.

 

Is there a way to fix it once and for all ? (I guess making everything at 90 deg would solve the issue, but then everything will be like old Wolf3D)

You can turn the offending brushes in to func_static or .ASE. Those don't seal off the void of course but that is one way to work around this.

 

Yeah, it's something I'd rather avoid doing as I'd have to turn all rooms into func_static :/

 

Is it really not possible to use double precision for coordinates ?

I too thought this was solved back when we ran into the problem with St. Lucia. There was still the issue of loss while _moving_ angled brushes, but I didn't think simply loading/saving was a problem any longer.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
