 +
 +==== ID ====
 +
 +[[:uri]] by which the material will be known. The ID is used when applying the material directly to a world surface (for example, in a [[:map_editor]]), or, when referencing it in other definitions. The IDs are considered //unique// within the defined namespace (i.e., only the //latest// Material with a given ID will be used).
 +
 +Currently there are **4** recognized [[:resource_uris#Material_namespaces|material namespace]] identifiers:
 +  *  flats
 +  *  sprites
 +  *  system
 +  *  textures
 +
 +The [[:material]] documentation details their use and the mechanics of the abstraction with regard to mod compatibility.
 +
 +==== Height/Width ====
 +
 +The dimensions of the material, in world units.
 +
 +The material dimensions need not equal those of the texture(s) used by it's [[#layer|layer]]s. Allowing the material to be scaled independently.
 +
 +
 +==== Flags ====
 +
 +
 +^ Name^ Description |
 +| dontdraw| Surfaces with this material will never be drawn. |
 +| skymask| Surfaces with this material will cut a "window" through which the sky is visible. The layers of the material itself will never be drawn. |
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Layer ====
 +
 +Currently only **1** layer is supported in a material. (Support for more layers will be added later).
 +
 +
 +  ; Stage
 +  : Stages are used for animating the properties of a texture layer over time. A layer can have many stages and will cycle through each in the defined order.
 +  ; Texture
 +  : [[:uri]] of the [[:texture]] resource to use during this stage. For example:<code>Texture = "Flats:FLOOR4_8";</code>
 +  ; Offset
 +  : Offset to the texture origin in material space.
 +  ; Tics
 +  : Length of the stage in tics.
 +  ; Rnd
 +  : Random value to be applied to tics.
 +  ; Glow
 +  : Strength of the light emitted by this material (self-illumination).
 +  ; Glow Rnd
 +  : Independent glow strength randomization factor.
 +
 +
 +==== Light (1.10 →) ====
 +
 +{{ file:doom_light_decorations.jpg?235x0}} Up to 16 light decorations can be attached to the material. Using light decorations one can embellish a material with a wide variety of (possibly animated) lighting effects. The order in which lights are defined does not matter.
 +
 +For each world surface using the material, Doomsday will automatically project lights into the world relative to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_%28geometry%29|surface normal]] and according to the repeat pattern you define.
 +
 +
 +=== Pattern offset ===
 +
 +Used with pattern skip to offset the origin of the pattern. For example:
 +  Pattern offset { 1 0 }  # shift the origin of the pattern one full horizontal repeat
 +
 +
 +=== Pattern skip ===
 +
 +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:
 +  
 +  Pattern skip { 1 2 }  #> light appears on every second horizontal repeat
 +                           and every third vertical repeat. <#
 +
 +
 +
 +=== Stage ===
 +
 +Stages are used for animating the properties of a light over time. Each light can have many stages and will cycle through each in the defined order.
 +
 +Using stages it is possible to animate a wide variety of interesting lighting effects.
 +
 +
 +  ; Tics
 +  : Length of the stage in tics.
 +  ; Rnd
 +  : Random value to be applied to tics.
 +  ; Offset
 +  : Origin of the light in material space coordinates.
 +  ; Distance
 +  : Distance of the light from the surface, in world space units. Doomsday will //project// from the light origin along the surface normal to calculate the 3D position of the light in world space.
 +  ; Color
 +  : RGB color/intensity (values 0-1) of the light.
 +  ; Radius
 +  : Radius of the light in world space.
 +  ; Levels
 +  : Two integers (0-255) that mark the sector light levels where the light is at zero and maximum brightness, respectively. The first level can be higher than the second. The behavior is then reversed: the light is at full brightness only below the lower light level. For example:<code>  
 +  Levels { 100 200 }  #> Not visible below light level 100 and fades to
 +                         full brightness when nearing light level 200.
 +                         Fully-bright over 200. <#
 +</code>Note: When both the minimum and maximum values are equal (irrespective of value) the levels will be ignored because the intended behavior is ambiguous.
 +  ; Bottom/Side/Top map
 +  : Name of the light map to use when casting light in that direction. The //bottom// map is used for floor planes, the //top// map for ceiling planes and the //side// map for walls. If left blank (the default), the default linear falloff texture for round lights is used. Use ''-'' to disable the map entirely. (No light will then be cast in that direction).
 +  ; Halo radius
 +  : Radius of the halo/flare in screen space. Zero means no halo is rendered. <note>A halo radius of **1.0** produces quite a large flare!</note>
 +  ; Flare map
 +  : Name of the flare map (i.e., texture) to use for the halo. For example:<code>Flare map = "myflaremap.png"  # loaded from the data/<game>/flaremaps folder</code> Alternatively, Doomsday provides a small built-in selection of flare maps, which are specified by their unique ID:
 +^ ID^ Description |
 +| 0| Smart algorithm which selects a built-in flare map dynamically, according to the attributes of the light and relative position of the viewer. |
 +| 1| [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airy_disk|Airy disk]] corona, with subtle noise. |
 +| 2| Inverse diffraction disc. |
 +| 3| [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22%C2%B0_halo|22° halo]]. |
 +| 4| Burst with cross formation of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_pillar|light pillars]]. |
 +
 +For example:<code>Flare map = "1"  # Use the default, Airy disk style corona.</code>
 +
 +=== Flare texture (deprecated) ===
 +
 +Built-in flare map (i.e., texture) ID to use for the halo.
