This has bugged me for a while, but why do door entities that claim 104x56, are actually 58.25? The height is exactly 104 units tall, so why not the other dimension?

For example, 3panel_104x56 and 6panel_104x56. They're exactly 104 units tall, but are 58.25ish units wide. Why? Either you will have a gap that you can see through if there's no visportal, or you'll have a black space when the visportal closes, or it will clip into the wall when it swings shut.

Same with stained_glass01_118x52, it's actually 116x49.25, again you're wall geometry is either going to have a gap, or clip, or you're setting your grid size to 0.25 to get it to fit exactly (big nono). You can fit the height at grid size 4, which is fine.

I notice the old doors made in DR and exported as model are exact dimensions as claimed, such as door_104x56_2hing and door_128x56_2hing etc.

 

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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 ?
