DOORTEST.TXT
------------

        Drake O'Brien posted a message and wad file (called NEWDOOR.WAD) 
that wad his version of the perfect transparent door.  Someone later pointed 
out that there were a few minor flaws in the design, so here is

        DOORTEST.WAD!

        I took the NEWDOOR.WAD, and after tinkering with it a while came
up with some modifications that I believe render the transparent door
flawless.

        The main problem was the second side of the door, which appered
to rise into the ceiling without being hidden by it.  The first door in
DOORTEST.WAD shows this.  The second door is simple a gate that rises,
and the third door is the cage idea (could be quite usefull!)

        I think now it's time to get back to all those levels I keep 
meaning to finish building! :)

One more note:  Drake mentioned that he had problems getting a perfect 
trans door using WARM.  DOORTEST.WAD is built using WARM with the -na
parameter rather than the default -n.  I didn't rebuild NEWDOOR.WAD 
using -na, so I don't know if it makes a difference, but I bet it does 
(I know you have to use -na to get the deep water effect to work...)
