Classes:PlayerPawn "The PlayerPawn base class defines the following properties which are available to all inventory subclasses"
This must be a typo, right? Copypasta? Because I read that as playerpawn properties being available when inheriting from inventory. On a sane day I'd probably fix it and not even ask.

Cache problem? Recent changes to Inventory flags are not appreaing on the including page.

Oh, Randy, the / characer is currently not working in the wiki tag.

Fortunately for now I can (ab)use the redirects for MapInfo subpages.

As part of a discussion in this thread:

http://www.doomworld.com/vb/showthread. ... id=1121819

I noticed that line type 334 for ZDoom in Doom format doesn't seem to be in the Wiki (perhaps I just can't find it). This is a useful line type allowing coloured lighting and coloured fog in the Doom map format. Should it be in the Wiki?

(incidentally, my ZDoom in Doom format config for DB2 didn't know about this line type either.)

Though it's not mentioned specifically, it's kinda there as a part of Static_Init, as you may know.

Still, it'd be useful to document, I guess.

[Enjay]

As you know, static init isn't any use to someone mapping in Doom format because they need to use line type 334 instead of 190. As far as I know it is still a legitimate feature for someone mapping in Doom format for whatever reason (my post was partly to check if that is the case) and if it is, it should be documented IMO.

I would create a page for line type 334 myself but I'm not familiar enough with the conventions and sections to include it in etc to make it a correctly and consistently formatted inclusion in the Wiki.

I wonder, are there any other Doom format line types that are in a similar position?

[Gez]

The wiki does not document Doom-format stuff. It is mutable anyway. There could be a page for default xlat assignations, which would basically be the content of zdoom.pk3:/xlat/base.txt with hyperlinks; but giving it more coverage than that wouldn't fit the wiki's objectives.

[Blue Shadow]

Could a good soul out there put in descriptions/info for the following actor flags in the wiki?

• SPECIALFIREDAMAGE
• SPECIALFLOORCLIP (This flag has to do with the buried Reiver's "rising from the grave" gimmick, though the flag itself doesn't create the effect)

I would've done them myself, but I have no clear idea on what they do, even after poking around in the source code.

[Demolisher]

On the Actor states page, the use of the 'use last state image' shortcuts are not documented. I believe they used to be, is there a reason why they aren't? I have mods that use them extensively, and they are an extremely useful feature, especially with inherited states from a parent actor. I will add the documentation unless someone provides me a reason why they aren't.

[Gez]

No, it's documented on the sprite page. Never was on the actor states page.

[Demolisher]

Oh ok, I may make a mention on the states page of it, and link to that one then. Thanks for the help, Gez!

The MediaWiki installation has been upgraded to version 1.20.0.

I'm not sure this thread is also for this, but I see that the LoreShot page has no description. Could some of the developers describe its behavior there? It would help a lot to make modifications or inheritances for it.

The actor flags page is missing the SPECIAL flag used by the entity boss from Strife.

I'd add it myself, but I don't know what it does.

Classes:LoreShot

The LoreShot's behavior is entirely described A LoremasterChain. It does nothing fancy outside of that.

Edit: The betaskull and the Helper Dog are among Chex Quest monsters: Category:Chex_Quest_monster

They're in all categories because they aren't tied to a game in particular. I've debated changing the way the automatic categorization works, though.

The SPECIAL flag is normally what tells the game that something can be picked up. Spectral monsters having it means that the Rogue/Velocity developers hacked in something ungodly, I suppose.
