Look, my two fears (and of a few other modders I've talked to) with this new ZScrit thing was/are that we who have DECORATE based mods could get the same problem of RTC-3057's pistol, simply destroyed when the "old DECORATE format" got deprecated, and the possibility of need to update hundreds (literally, for me and a few others) of actors to this new code format.
It took me some time to believe that this was the reason for RTC-3057 to got so unbalanced without a pistol. I mean, "omg, it can rly happens, our mods can get broken by the Zdoom's evolution!"
And after seeing me and others got mods broken with the new parser (that I've seem some calling "Nazi Parser"), I was rly afraid seeing this ZScript thing emerging. It was one more thing to broken our mods that, before it, were working just fine.
But, if, as said in this thread, DECORATE will remain there, and our inheritance based actors can actually remain even with the stock actors being in ZScript, I welcome it. Modding power is always good. And, even I still not knowing how to use it, ZScrit seems to be an ultimate power for that to me.
