Decoration (DED)
Light decorations for surfaces.
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.text/html2017-03-16T07:15:09+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)ded:detail

Detail (DED)
Detail textures can be assigned to specific wall textures and flats using Detail definitions.
Notes
General detail texture strength, scaling and maximum distance can be 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.text/html2017-03-20T18:01:06+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)ded:flags_reference

DED flags reference
This page is a complete listing of all Doomsday flags usable in DED definitions.
Note that Doomsday Engine plugins (e.g., games) may contain additional flags defined for their own purposes, which are also accessible via DED. Consult the documentation of the plugin for further details.text/html2017-03-16T07:13:30+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)ded:reflection

Reflection (DED)
Any surface (flats or walls) can be rendered with shiny surface properties. This allows for some very interesting tricks to be created such as specular “reflections”. You can use a mask with the shiny surfaces to mask out areas of shininess but a mask can be used to also increase the effect of shininess on areas of a texture. Reflection definitions support the use of any of the new blending mode flags such as add and subtract.text/html2017-03-16T07:18:21+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)ded:light

Light (DED)
A Light definition is used to attach a light and/or halo to a sprite's state. As most objects are made up of more than one state this enables us to have “animated” lights that pulse in colour, change size etc etc.
If you want to attach a light to a texture or flat please check the section on texturetext/html2017-03-22T07:06:59+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)ded:infine_script_reference

InFine script reference
InFine
is a very simple scripting language used to describe the animations that are played as interludes and finales. The scripts are written in InFine definitions. It can also be used to define introductory animations (InFine scripts can be played before or after any map); briefings and debriefings if you will.text/html2017-03-16T06:44:46+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)ded:music

Sound (DED)
A Sound definition is used to define the presence and in-game playback characteristics of a sound effect sample.
Core Concepts
Sample References
A reference is used to link actual sound data samples to a Sound definition. Only one sample reference is actually required and in general, only one is specified in each definition. If multiple references are specified they will be tried sequentially until one succeeds, in the following order (top to bottom):text/html2020-06-24T10:02:35+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)ded:thing
