Yah I literally just googled that phrase, it turned up the Patterson book when I did it.

That makes me think Daz should start doing audio books...

This is possibly the most exciting news I've ever heard.

I'm having a hard time thinking of good uses for those. Conveyor belts aren't enough.
Skies and water don't need regular scrolling textures in my engine. And scrolling whole background environments as in the train level of Soldier of Fortune is too restricting.
:\ I just can't think of regular environment details that would be improved by scrolling textures.

Flowing water? That seems like a really commmon thing a mapper would want to do.

Molten mapping already takes care of that, in a much better way.

Have always been an edge case thing, used for weird tricks here and there, like machinery, visual effects and the classic 'train rushing through a tunnel but not really moving' effect.
Someone will always be able to think of something to use it for.

I'm tempted to say "a-whu-what now?" but I actually do remember some postings of flowing lava - had no idea that was your engine - cool beans.

On the other hand I am attracted to them, as they can improve the environnement. I would love it to see a map with more then four sky types, or animating monster skin textures.
Set me on the
train if I can unlock the
button.
I would love to make a speeding train level. I have a few ideas on how to do it.

Slightly unrelated, but yesterday I've raised the BSP texture frames limit to 100, and added support for the +number naming convention anywhere. This allows for textures like {fencepants+18b , for example.
