Most predefined lumps used in BOOM and MBF are still present in Eternity, although not all are used. These lumps can be found in eternity.pke and are no longer stored inside the executable, primarily for reasons of code size and compile time.

Switches and Animations
-----------------------
SWITCHES       Definition of switch textures recognized
ANIMATED       Definition of animated textures and flats recognized

SWITCHES format

The SWITCHES lump makes the names of the switch textures used in the game known to the engine. It consists of a list of records each 20 bytes long, terminated by an entry (not used) whose last 2 bytes are 0.

9 bytes        Null terminated string naming "off" state texture for switch
9 bytes        Null terminated string naming "off" state texture for switch
2 bytes        Short integer for the IWADs switch will work in
    1 = shareware
    2 = registered/retail DOOM or shareware
    3 = DOOM II, registered/retail DOOM, or shareware
    0 = terminates list of known switches

NOTE: for defining new switches, use EDF switch, unless you need Boom compatibility. You can also use ANIMDEFS if you need GZDoom compatibility.

ANIMATED format

The ANIMATED lump makes the names of the animated flats and textures known to the engine. It consists of a list of records, each 23 bytes long, terminated by a record (not used) whose first byte is -1 (255).

1 byte         -1 to terminate list, 0 if a flat, 1 if a texture
9 bytes        Null terminated string naming last texture/flat in animation
9 bytes        Null terminated string naming first texture/flat in animation
4 bytes        Animation speed, number of frames between animation changes

The BOOM utility package contains a program, SWANTBLS.EXE that will generate both the SWITCHES and ANIMATED lumps from a text file. An example is provided, DEFSWANI.DAT that generates the standard set of switches and animations for DOOM.

OPTIONS lump

New to MBF, this lump allows you to set certain game settings for when the wad is loaded. See the OPTIONS documentation for more information.

New to SMMU

Setting the animation speed for a flat to a number higher than 65535 will cause the flat to use the swirling liquid effect rather than animation.

Colormaps

WATERMAP       Custom greenish colormap for underwater use
LAVAMAP        Custom red colormap for lava (new to SMMU)

The WATERMAP lump has the same format as COLORMAP, 34 tables of 256 bytes each, see the UDS for details. Note that colormaps you add to a PWAD must be between C_START and C_END markers.

The BOOM utility package contains a program, CMAPTOOL.EXE, that will generate custom colormaps for use with Eternity. It also includes 7 premade colormaps, and an add-on wad containing them.

Color translation tables

CRBRICK        Translates red range to brick red
CRTAN          Translates red range to tan
CRGRAY         Translates red range to gray
CRGREEN        Translates red range to green
CRBROWN        Translates red range to brown
CRGOLD         Translates red range to dark yellow
CRRED          Translates red range to red range (no change)
CRBLUE         Translates red range to light blue
CRBLUE2        Translates red range to dark blue (status bar numerals)
CRORANGE       Translates red range to orange
CRYELLOW       Translates red range to light yellow

These tables are used to translate the red font characters to other colors. They are made replaceable in order to support custom palettes in TC's better. Note however that the font character graphics must be defined using the palette indices for the standard red range of the palette 176-191.

Eternity Note

The default text translation range in Heretic is gray rather than red, and replacement fonts should use the gray range in the palette to support color translations.

Data Lumps and Scripts
----------------------
TXTRCONV       DOOM -> DOOM II texture conversion table (new to SMMU)
KEYDEFS        Default keybindings (new to Eternity)
STARTSCR       Compiled Small script for start map (new to Eternity)

TXTRCONV format

The TXTRCONV lump is used to translate DOOM textures to DOOM II textures, for the purpose of playing ExMy levels under DOOM II (accessed via the map command). The format of this lump is currently very strict. The pairs of texture names must be aligned precisely, with the first texture name (<= 8 character) starting in column 0, followed by spaces up to column 16, where the second DOOM II replacement texture name must start. Only one pair must be on a line, and lines must be terminated with a line break. This lump is ASCII text.

KEYDEFS format

KEYDEFS contains the engine's default key bindings. This lump is written to file as keys.csc when a file by that name cannot be found. Editing of this defaults lump is not generally desirable, but it is a simple console script, the syntax of which is expounded upon in the Eternity Engine Console Reference. This lump is ASCII text.

Sprite colour translation tables

Thingtype EDF definitions allow a sprite's colour range to be translated, similar to how the green range is changed with the TRANSLATION1 and TRANSLATION2 thing type flags, but in this case, by using custom external tables. These lumps are 256 bytes large and must be included between T_START and T_END. Normally, they will consist of consecutive 8-bit numbers from 0 to 255 if there is no translation, but the indices which need to be changed will have the numbers of the target colours.
