One is still there. With all the modifications this forum is a little different from DRDTeam so I got a little careless.

That would explain why this was only happened when I became a mod...

Randy came along and moved the threads back out of news I think, which may explain the confusion.

Apparently that's users that have set their profile to hidden. As a moderator you are able to see them anyway.

Patience. ;) Let's say for now that Randy has given me access to the bugs forum. All I have done so far is clearing out the list in the 'bugs fixed in the unofficial version' thread.

(Doesn't the bugs forum look a lot nicer with 100 threads less? ;))

I think he might be just commenting from the SVN repository, doing randy a favour whilst he's off doing whatever it is he does.

I'd like to know why some names are coming up in italics :?

Does that include the "little suggestion"?

Heretic/Hexen puffs in Doom with particle puff on

This doesn't work properly. Raven's puffs are not designed to be replaced by particles and yet ZDoom is doing this unconditionally when playing Doom.

The ability to be replaced by particles should be determined by a flag, not game mode.


Another puff problem:

Doom advances the puff by 2 states if it was spawned by a melee attack. Again this is problematic because this behavior doesn't work if Doom's fist is used in one of the other games because it also is determined by game mode, not puff type.

How about using another state for this, like the crash state for wall hits?


And finally a little suggestion:

Doom's bullet puff has special coding to add some vertical speed. Since this is something of potential interest for DECORATE this should become an actor property of the puff so it can be set by the designer.

The Speed property is not used by puffs so it could be used for this.
