GENERAL SYNTAX
Elements of a DED file:
- Comments
-
There are two kinds of comments: single-line and multi-line. Single line
comments begin with a hash character (#) and continue until end of line.
The parser will skip everything on the line after the # character. Multi-
line comments begin with #> and continue until <# is found. An example:
#> The comment begins... And continues ...and ends here <# - Header block
- Use of the Header block is optional. For example:
Header { Version = 6; } - In DED version 5, there must be a semicolon after each statement, including blocks inside definition blocks. In version 6, semicolons are optional. If you don't include a version declaration, version 6 is assumed.
- Directives
- Definition blocks
- Attributes
- The "Copy" attribute can be replaced with an asterisk (*).
- Keys
- String values
- Strings begin and end in double quotation marks ("). If newline characters are found inside a string (the string has been divided into multiple lines) the newline and all following whitespace are skipped, and the actual string continues from the first non- whitespace character that follows.
DIRECTIVES
Include "Other.ded";
# The Include directive causes the parser to read the specified DED
# file. The contents of the included file are read immediately after
# the directive has been parsed.
IncludeIf <Not> -option "Other.ded";
# The specified DED file is included if the option "-option" is (not)
# found in the command line. Alternatively "-option" can be a game
# mode string:
IncludeIf <Not> doom1-ultimate "Other.ded";
# The specified DED file is included if the string matches (or does
# not match) the current game mode.
SkipIf <Not> -option;
# The rest of the file is skipped if the option "-option" is (not)
# found in the command line. Alternatively "-option" can be a game
# mode string.
SkipIf <Not> doom1-ultimate;
# The rest of the file is skipped if the string matches (or does not
# match) the current game mode.
ModelPath "MD2\Game\Item";
# The ModelPath directive appends a new path to the list of model
# search paths. NOTE: This directive has no scope: it affects all the
# definitions that come before and after it. Also, be careful with
# backslashes. Since they are used as escape characters in strings you
# can't for example do this: "MD2\Game\Path\". That would mean the last
# character of the path is " but the string itself doesn't end. You can
# use forward slashes instead of backslashes.

SPRITE DEFINITIONS
Sprite

}
LIGHT DEFINITIONS
The engine usually calculates the properties of dynamic lights based on the sprite frame of the light source. Any zero values in the Light definition will be replaced by these automatic calculations (zero is the default for all keys).
<Copy> Light
{ # If "Copy" is found all the data of the previous definition is
# copied to this one as defaults. For the first definition in a
# file "Copy" has no effect.
State = "";
# The State with which the light properties defined here will
# be used.
Flags = "";
# lgf_nohalo: No lens flare (halo) is rendered.
X Offset = 0.0;
# In pixels, offset from the center of the source. The offset
# is parallel with the view plane.
Y Offset = 0.0;
# In pixels, offset from the top of the source object.
Size = 0.0;
# Size (strength) of the light. Should be between 0 and 1.

# Blue color component (0-1).
Color { 0.0 0.0 0.0 };
# Sets all three color components at the same time.
Top map = "";
Bottom map = "";
Side map = "";
# Name of the light map to use. The top map is used for ceiling
# planes, the bottom map for floors and the side map for walls.
# If left blank (the default), the standard round dynlight texture
# is used. Use "-" to disable a map entirely. No light will then be
# cast in the direction.
}
DECORATION DEFINITIONS
You can define multiple Decorations for the same texture/flat, but only the latest one that passes the conditions will be used. By default (if you specify no usage flags), a Decoration is only used with resources loaded from an IWAD.
<Copy> Decoration
{ # If "Copy" is found all the data of the previous definition is
# copied to this one as defaults. For the first definition in a
# file "Copy" has no effect.
Texture = "";
# Name of the texture with which this decoration is used.
Flat = "";
# Name of the flat with which this decoration is used. You can
# only specify either a Texture or a Flat, not both.
Flags = "";
# dcf_noiwad: Don't use this decoration if the resource is loaded
# from an IWAD.
#
# dcf_pwad: This decoration can be used with PWAD resources (for
# example custom textures).
#
# dcf_ext: This decoration can be used with external resources.
Light
{ # Each decoration can specify up to 8 lights.
Offset { 0.0 0.0 };
# Origin of the light in texture coordinates.
Distance = 1.0;
# Distance between the origin of the light and the surface.
Color { 0.0 0.0 0.0 };
# RGB color (values 0-1) of the light. Color (0,0,0) marks
# the end of the light definitions. Any lights that follow are
# not rendered.
Radius = 1.0;
# Radius of the dynamic light.
Halo radius = 0.0;
# Radius of the halo. Zero means no halo is rendered. Note
# that halo radius 1.0 produces quite a large flare.
Flare texture = 0;
# Texture to use for the primary flare (i.e. the halo itself):
# 0 = Texture chosen automatically.
# 1 = Default dynamic light texture.
# 2 = FLARE.
# 3 = BRFLARE.
# 4 = BIGFLARE.
Top map = "";
Bottom map = "";
Side map = "";
# Name of the light map to use. The top map is used for ceiling
# planes, the bottom map for floors and the side map for walls.
# If left blank (the default), the standard round dynlight
# texture is used. Use "-" to disable a map entirely. No light
# will then be cast in the direction.
Levels { 0 0 };
# Two integers (0-255) that mark the sector light levels where
# the light is at zero and maximum brightness, respectively.
# For example, the levels { 100 200 } mean that the light is
# not visible under light level 100, fades gradually to full
# brightness when nearing light level 200, and stays full
# bright over 200. The first level can be higher than the
# second. The behaviour is then reversed: the light is at full
# brightness only below the lower light level.
Pattern skip { 0 0 };
# Normally the light is repeated on a surface as many times as
# the texture or flat repeats. The pattern skip values allow
# sparser repeats for horizontal and vertical patterns,
# respectively. For example, the skips { 1 2 } will make the
# light only appear on every second horizontal repeat and
# every third vertical repeat.
Pattern offset { 0 0 };
# Used with pattern skip to offset the origin of the pattern.
# For example, the offset { 1 0 } will shift the origin of the
# pattern one full horizontal repeat.
};
}
DETAIL TEXTURE DEFINITIONS
General detail texture strength, scaling and maximum distance can modified with the "detail" console command. One Detail definition can be used to assign a detail texture to one wall texture and/or one flat picture.
<Copy> Detail
{ # If "Copy" is found all the data of the previous definition is
# copied to this one as defaults. For the first definition in a
# file "Copy" has no effect.
Wall = "";
# Name of the wall texture which this detail texture should be
# associated with.
Flat = "";
# Name of the flat which this detail texture should be
# associated with.
Lump = "";
# Lump name of the detail texture (e.g. "DTLROUGH"). This must
# be a 64x64, 128x128 or 256x256 raw image with one color
# component (a black and white image). This means the size of
# the lump can be either 4096, 16384 or 65536 bytes.
Scale = 1.0;
# Relative scaling for the detail texture. Actual scaling is
# calculated with (Scale)*(common-scaling-factor). The default
# value for the common scaling factor is 4 (which means one
# world unit corresponds four detail texture pixels).
Strength = 1.0;
# Relative intensity factor. Actual strength is calculated
# with (Strength)*(common-strength-factor). The default value
# for the common strength factor is 0.5.
Distance = 0.0;
# Maximum distance at which the detail texture is visible. If
# left at zero, the common maximum distance is used (default:
# 256). Smaller maximum distances may cause problems with
# floors and ceilings, where big polygons cause inaccuracies
# in the calculation of eye -> vertex distance.
}
REFLECTION DEFINITIONS
Reflection
{ Texture = "";
# The wall texture this reflection will be associated with. A
# reflection can only be associated with either a texture or a
# flat, not both.
Flat = "";
# The flat this reflection will be associated with.
Blending mode = add;
# One of the bm_* flags defined in Flags.ded. By default
# reflections use additive blending.
Shininess = 1.0;
# Strength of the shiny effect. 1.0 is the maximum value. This
# is used as the alpha component when doing blending.
Min color { 0.0 0.0 0.0 }
# By default the shiny effect uses sector light as the basic color
# of the effect. The Min color RGB values (0..1) can be used to
# set a minimum light level for the effect so it'll show up even
# in very dark sectors.
Shiny map = "";
# Name of the external resource that is used as the shiny map for
# this reflection. By default the resource is searched in the
# LightMaps resource directory. The shiny map is mapped onto
# reflecting surfaces using a mapping that resembles cylindrical
# environment mapping. The dimensions of the map must be powers
# of two, for example 128 x 64 or 32 x 128.
Mask map = "";
# Name of the external resource that is used to mask out the
# shininess of a surfaces. The mask map is mapped onto surfaces
# using the same texture coordinates that are used for mapping
# regular textures. The darker the texel in the mask, the fainter
# the reflection becomes. The dimensions of the map must be powers
# of two, for example 128 x 64 or 32 x 128.
Mask width = 1.0;
# A factor for the width of the mask. This can be used to make the
# mask span beyond the mapping of the regular texture of the
# surface. For example, consider a surface with a texture that is
# 64 texels wide. Regardless of the mask's horizontal resolution,
# the mask is always mapped onto the regular texture so that their
# edges overlap. If the mask width value is 1.0, the mask is as
# wide as the 64 texel original texture. If mask width is increased
# to 2.0, the mask is mapped so that it is as wide as a 128 texel
# texture.
Mask height = 1.0;
# A factor for the height of the mask.
}
GENERATOR DEFINITIONS
A particle generator must always be triggered somehow to be spawned. There are four types of triggers available: State, Type, Flat and Map. The trigger also determines the generator's source, from which the generator's particles seem to originate. A generator must have a source to be able to create new particles. If the source of a generator is destroyed before the generator dies, the only result will be that no new particles are created. Any existing particles created prior to the removal of the source will live on.
State triggering means that the generator is spawned when any mobj enters the state the generator has been associated with. The mobj in question will become the source of the generator. State triggering is especially useful with "one time" effects such as explosions. State triggering should be avoided with mobjs that have a loop of states (if the gnf_spawn flag is not used). This can lead to generators being spawned more frequently than necessary.
All Type triggered generators are spawned at the beginning of a level. Each Type triggered Generator definition gets its own particle generator entity. Type triggering makes the generator multi-sourced: all mobjs in the level with one of the types associated with the generator will act as particle sources. The effect is similar to having a separate generator for each mobj. Note, however, that you need to allocate a fairly large number of particles in the definition since all the mobjs use the same generator.
Flat triggering works a bit differently. The level is periodically checked for any planes with the specified flat as texture (floors and ceilings). A generator is spawned for all planes that match the associated flat. The sector to which the plane belongs will become the source of the generator. The origin of the particles can be the ceiling or floor plane, or the space in between. The default behaviour can be modified using the gnf_floor, gnf_ceiling and gnf_space flags. Each plane can have only one generator, i.e. each sector can have up to two generators.
Map triggered generators are all spawned in the beginning of a level, but only if the level has a map ID that matches the generator's. Map triggered generators use the Center key to define their origin because they haven't got an object as a source. The Center is interpreted as world coordinates (X,Y,Z). When using map triggered generators it's probably best to set the Max age and Spawn age keys to -1, to allow the generator to operate indefinitely.
There is a limit to the number of active particle generator entities in the level (currently 96). If the maximum number is reached, existing non-static generators will be destroyed to make room for any new generators.
<Copy> Generator
{ State = "";
# Particle generators can be either State, Flat or Type
# triggered. Whenever a mobj is set to this state, a new
# particle generator is spawned. If the gnf_spawn flag is set,
# the generator is only spawned when the source mobj itself is
# being spawned; handy if the mobj has a loop of states and
# the generator should only be spawned when the state is first
# set.
Flat = "";
# Makes this a Flat triggered generator. Each plane with the
# given flat receives its own generator. The gnf_* flags can
# be used to control where the particles are actually spawned.
Mobj = "";
# Makes this a Type triggered generator. The value must be a
# defined thing ID (e.g. "PLAYER"). All Type triggered generators
# are spawned in the beginning of a level, and they create
# particles using all mobjs of the given type as sources. Use the
# gnf_static flag to prevent the generator from being removed by
# later generators (could happen when the maximum number of
# generators is reached).
Alt mobj = "";
# Alternate mobj type for Type triggered generators.
Damage mobj = "";
# Makes this a Damage triggered generator. They are spawned when a
# mobj of the specified type receives damage. The initial movement
# direction is calculated from the positions of the mobjs involved
# in the operation, so that positive speed values will make the
# particles move away from the inflictor (in the direction of the
# damage).
#
# NOTE: Damage triggered particle generators currently do not work
# on the clientside (netgames and demos).
Map = "";
# Makes this a Map triggered generator. The generator is spawned
# only in the specified map (e.g. "E2M3"). The Center key defines
# the spawn origin.
Flags = "";
# gnf_static: Generator will not be removed until it times
# out. Otherwise it might get replaced by newer
# generators if there are too many active generators.
#
# gnf_extra: (State triggered) This generator is to be spawned
# simultaneously with the previously defined generator. This
# allows having multiple generators assigned to the same
# state. If this flag is not used, all the previously
# defined generators associated with the state are ignored.
#
# gnf_srcvel: (State/Type triggered) Particles inherit their
# source's velocity (in addition to spawn velocity).
#
# gnf_srcdir: (State/Type triggered) Particle movement vector
# is rotated using source's direction angle.
#
# gnf_spawn: Generator is only spawned if the source mobj is
# being spawned.
#
# gnf_blendadd: Particles of the generator are rendered using
# additive blending ('gnf_blend' is an alias for this).
#
# gnf_blendrsub: Particles of the generator are rendered using
# reverse subtractive blending (framebuffer - particle).
#
# gnf_blendsub: Particles of the generator are rendered using
# subtractive blending (particle - framebuffer).
#
# gnf_blendmul: Particles of the generator are rendered using
# multiplicative blending (particle * framebuffer).
#
# gnf_blendimul: Particles of the generator are rendered using
# inverse multiplicative blending ((1-ptc) * framebuffer).
#
# gnf_modelonly: The particle generator will only be active
# if the source is represented by a 3D model.
#
# gnf_floor: (Flat triggered) Particles of the generator will
# be created on the floor of the source sector.
#
# gnf_ceiling: (Flat triggered) Particles of the generator
# will be created in the ceiling of the source sector.
#
# gnf_space: (Flat triggered) Particles of the generator will
# be spawned at a random height in the sector.
#
# gnf_density: (Flat triggered) The "Particles" key specifies
# the maximum density of particles per block (128x128)
# rather than the maximum number of particles for the
# generator.

The Texture Environment definitions are used to calculate the 3D sound characteristics of the sectors in a map.
Texture Environment
{ ID = "";
# Identifier of this environment. Must be either "Metal",
# "Rock", Wood" or "Cloth".
Texture
{ # There can be any number of Texture blocks inside a Texture
# Environment definition.
ID = "";
# Name of a wall texture (e.g. "STARTAN3").
}
}
MAP INFO DEFINITIONS
<Copy> Map Info
{ # If the "Copy" attribute is used, all the data of the previous
# definition is copied to this one. For the first definition in a file
# "Copy" has no effect.
ID = "";
# Map identifier. Could be "ExMy" or "MAPxy" depending on the
# game. Example: if this map info is meant for the first map
# of the second episode, the ID is "E2M1". If the ID is "*"
# (asterisk), this definition will be used for all maps that
# don't have a definition of their own.
Name = "";
# Name of the map. Displayed e.g. in the automap and in the
# console when the map is loaded.
Author = "";
# Author of the map. Displayed e.g. in the console when the
# map is loaded.
Flags = "";
# mif_fog: Enable fog in the map.
#
# mif_sphere: Draw the sky sphere even when sky models have been
# set up.
Music = "";
# Identifier of the song to play during this map. Notice that
# this is the identifier of the Music definition, not the
# actual MUS lump found in a WAD file.
Par time = 0.0;
# Par time of the map, in seconds.
Fog color R = 0.0;
# Red color component (0-1) of the fog used in the map.
Fog color G = 0.0;
# Green color component (0-1) of the fog used in the map.
Fog color B = 0.0;
# Blue color component (0-1) of the fog used in the map.
Fog start = 0.0;
# (Linear fog) Fog start distance, in world units.
Fog end = 0.0;
# (Linear fog) Fog end distance, in world units.
Fog density = 0.0;
# Used in exponential(2) fog mode.
Ambient light = 0.0;
# Minimum light level (0-1) of all sectors in the map.
Gravity = 1.0;
# Gravity in the map.
Sky height = 0.666667;
# Height of the sky sphere (0-1). The real height is an angle
# determined using Pi/2 * (sky height), which means if the sky
# height is 1, the sphere covers the whole sky.
Horizon offset = 0.0;
# Angle offset to sky vertices, in radians. Negative angles
# move the horizon downwards.
Sky Layer 1
{ Flags = "";
# slf_enable: Enable layer. By default the layer is
# disabled and will not be rendered.
#
# slf_mask: Layer texture's color zero should be masked.
Texture = "";
# Name of the texture to use for this layer.
Offset = 0.0;
# A horizontal offset applied to the texture coordinates
# of the layer.
Color limit = 0.0;
# Specifies how small an intensity (0-1) the sky fadeout
# color (top line of the texture) can have before the
# fadeout color is reduced to black.
};
Sky Layer 2
{ Flags = "";
Texture = "";
Offset = 0.0;
Color limit = 0.0;
};
Sky Model
{ # There can be up to 32 Sky Model blocks in a Map Info definition.
# Each block defines one a sky model.
ID = "";
# Identifier of the Model definition that describes the 3D
# model. If left empty, this sky model will be disabled.
Layer = 0;
# The sky layer this model is associated with. Valid values
# are 1 and 2. If zero, model does not depend on the sky
# layers. If set to nonzero, the sky model is hidden when the
# associated layer is hidden (i.e. not enabled).
Frame interval = 1.0;
# The number of seconds between frame changes. Sky model
# animation is interpolated. The model is animated by going
# through all its frames one by one.
Color { 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 };
# RGBA color for the model.
Offset factor { 0.0 0.0 0.0 };
# The position of the sky model may depend on the coordinates
# of the camera. The Offset factor key sets a factor for each
# axis (X, Y, Z) separately. Small factors (< 1.0) can be used
# to create the illusion that the sky model is larger than it
# really is. If the factors are zero, the sky model's origin
# will be positioned at the camera's viewpoint.
Rotate { 0.0 0.0 };
# Additional rotation around the X and Z axes, respectively (in
# degrees). These are applied after normal rotation.
Yaw = 0.0;
# Initial rotation around the Y axis (in degrees).
Yaw speed = 0.0;
# Angular velocity around the Y axis (in degrees per second).
};
}
FINALE DEFINITIONS
The Finale definition is used to define intros, interludes and finale animations. All of these are called "finales" in this reference. The finales of the original DOOM, Heretic and Hexen typically have a tiled flat as the background and text that is slowly typed onto the screen.
Finale
{ Before = "";
# Identifier of the map before which this finale should be
# played. The precise form of the identifier depends on the
# Game, but the two commonly used ones are "ExMy" and "MAPxy",
# where "x" and "y" denote episode and map numbers; "E2M3".
After = "";
# Identifier of the map after which this finale should be
# played. Normally it's useful to only use either one of the
# Before and After keys, though both can be set at the same
# time.
Game = 0;
# Game selector. Currently only used by jDoom to separate
# Plutonia (Game=1) and TNT (Game=2) from Doom II (Game=0).
# IncludeIf/SkipIf and game mode strings could also be used for
# this purpose.
Script { };
# An InFine script that defines what the finale does. The same
# parsing rules are used when reading the script and the DED
# file itself, so for instance strings can be split onto
# multiple lines (see Text definitions). See the InFine
# Scripts reference for more information.
}
TEXT DEFINITIONS
Do not change the order of existing Text definitions; always add new definitions to the end of the list. This is because Games access strings using the index numbers of the strings, and the indices are assigned based on the order of the Text definitions.
Text
{ ID = "";
# Identifier of the text string.
Text = "";
# The string itself. Backslash (\) is used as an escape
# character: \n = newline. Quotes (") must be escaped or the
# parser will think the string ends ("Say \"Hello!\""). The
# string can be divided onto multiple lines, in which case the
# parser will skip to the first non-space character of the
# next line when it encounters an end of line. For example
# the following two strings are identical:
#
# "This is a long
# string?"
#
# "This is a longstring?"
#
# The escape sequence \_ translates to a normal space
# character, so these two strings are also identical:
#
# "This is another long
# \_string."
#
# "This is another long string."
#
}
VALUE DEFINITIONS
The engine itself doesn't use the values for anything. You can think of the Values definition as a registry of nested string pairs (a bit like Windows' registry). Internally the hierarchy levels are separated with the | (vertical line) character, so you can't use it in the key names.
Values
{ Key1 = "Example";
My block {
Nested key = "This is a string";
Other key = "Hello";
};
# The definitions above would create the following entries:
#
# Key1 Example
# My block|Nested key This is a string
# My block|Other key Hello
}
MODEL DEFINITIONS
A 'Model' can be thought of as a collection of one to eight MD2 models. Each MD2 file assigned to a Model is called a submodel. Thus a Model can have up to eight submodels. In the Model definition the submodels are defined sequentially starting from zero. The engine handles the submodels separately, which makes it possible to interpolate the animation of each submodel independently of the other submodels.
An example of the structure of a Model definition is given below:
Model
{ Md2 { }; # 1st submodel (submodel 0).
Md2 { }; # 2nd submodel (submodel 1).
Md2 { }; # 3rd submodel (submodel 2).
Md2 { }; # 4th submodel (submodel 3).
}
One Md2 block is required, the rest should be omitted if the Model has only one MD2 file. You can set flags in both the main Model definition and the submodel Md2 definitions.
-
Flags defined in the main definition affect all the submodels, for example:
Model { Flags = "df_shadow1"; }This means the flag will affect all the submodels of the model. - If the Flags key is placed in a Model:Md2 definition, for example:
Model { Md2 { Flags = "df_shadow1"; }; }it only affects the single submodel. NOTE: a XOR operation is done so that using Model:Md2:Flags will reverse any flags set in Model\Flags. This way Model:Md2:Flags can be used to either turn off or on single flags that affect the whole model (depending on whether the flag is set in Model:Flags or not). For instance:
Model { Flags = "df_shadow1"; Md2 { Flags = "df_shadow1"; }; # Not shadowed at all. Md2 { Flags = "df_fullbright"; }; # Shadowed and fullbright. Md2 { }; # Just shadowed. }
Inter and Interpolate can be used together. You can for example assign two model frames to span across three states:
: (Frame 1) : (Frame 2) :
: : :
+-----------+-----------+-----------+ Time-->
| (State 1) | (State 2) | (State 3) |
|0 1|0 0.5 1|0 1| Inter (0..1)
D1----------D2----D3----D4----------+
: : : :
: : : 4th defn: S3, Inter=0, Interpolate {0.333 1}
: : :
: : 3rd defn: S2, Inter=0.5, Interpolate {-0.333 0.333}
: :
: 2nd defn: S2, Inter=0, Interpolate {0.666 1.333}
:
1st definition: S1, Inter=0, Interpolate {0 0.666}
Note the 2nd definition's Interpolate end marker (1.333) and 3rd definition's Interpolate start marker (-0.333). This is needed because the 2nd definition only extends from Inter=0 to Inter=0.5, but we want that at Inter=0.5 the interpolation visually reaches its end (frame 1 ends and frame 2 begins): point 0.5 in the range {0.666 1.333} is one. The 3rd definition's case is similar, but this time the definition begins really from Inter=0.5 and visually from the beginning (i.e. zero). When 0.5 is scaled to the range {-0.333 0.333} we get the zero we wanted.
<Copy> Model
{ # If "Copy" is found, all the data of the previous definition is
# copied to this one as defaults. For the first definition in a
# file "Copy" has no effect.
ID = "";
# The identifier of this definition. You can only set either the ID
# key or the State key, not both. Models with an ID can't be
# assigned to Thing States.
State = "";
# The State this model will be used with. You can only set either
# the ID key or the State key, not both.
Off = 0;
# Offset to state index. Use carefully! If State indices
# change you'll be in a lot of trouble.
Group = "";
# One or more group IDs (mg_*). Optional.
Selector = 0;
# A custom value which can be used by the Game for various
# purposes, like alternative models for some objects.
Inter = 0.0;
# Possible values: 0-1. Determines the point during the
# interpolation between states when this definition becomes
# valid. Can be used to assign several different model frames
# to a single State.
# NOTE: When defining models that use Inter, the definitions
# must be given in an ascending order; the definition
# with the lowest Inter comes first.
Interpolate { 0.0 1.0 };
# Range of interpolation. Specifies the range of the visual
# interpolation of the model during the State. Can be used to
# extend the interpolation of one model frame onto multiple
# States (by defining a sub-0..1 range). Always define full
# ranges that begin from zero and end to one.
#
# When the "df_worldtime" flag is used, this key has a different
# meaning:
#
# Interpolate { <range-length> <interpos-offset> }
#
# <range-length> is the number of seconds it takes for one
# animation cycle to run from start to finish (Inter 0...1).
# <interpos-offset> is added to the Inter calculated from world
# time and <range-length> (offset should be 0...1). If the offset
# is -1, a random offset is used for each object.
Flags = "";
# Flags for the whole model, including all the submodels.
#

# level (corresponds sector light level 255) regardless
# of the sector it's currently in.

};
}
Shortcuts:
- Use "Copy Model" (or "*Model") whenever possible.
- Use hyphens (-) to indicate that the previous value of the same Key should be used (if "Copy" was not used).
- Use ModelPath to add new model search paths. This makes it unnecessary to include the path in Model:Md2:File (or skin file names).
