I would assume morphed classes would require a flag to allow it, much like they now have for crouching. After all, adding new features should ideally not damage/break older behaviors, when avoidable.

The features could be linked, I guess. Currently there's some sort of exclusion in the code that stops morphed actors from ever bobbing since that's how Raven did it, so this in theory could be used to nullify the bob for those classes instead and remove the hardcoded exclusion. That would mean that custom morph classes that don't inherit from chickens or pigs will suddenly start to bob, though, which might not be what folks want.

I don't suppose luck would have it that this might also provide a means to allow morphed classes to have a viewbob? :3:

So are you agreeing with Hotwax? Is the thread basically dead then?

I don't think it matters anymore. Once a request thread hits page 3, I'm pretty sure it might as well be 6 feet under.

What is so wrong with adding a potentially simple fix and then dealing with fancy-shmancy "lets add custom controls for the arc and the cotangent and the quantum flux differential!!!11one" additions later?

Here's to more dead threads added to the feature request forum. Yippee. :shrug:
Great yeah. Ok. Well even if this is a dead thread, we should be grateful that this even got posted in the first place. Hopefully people will be more aware of some changes that could me made to make zdoom that much better. :D

Yeah I know. I just get tired of it when people just bash everything a person says.

That doesn't make any sense. All of the mods I've ever played have had their own MAP01.

See, that's where you assume wrong. You could find a load of feature suggestions that haven't made it in despite demand from the community. In almost every case, you'll find that the request was overly-ambitious, and usually the thread is bloated out of control by somebody wanting to over-complicate an otherwise simple suggestion. Every time you post in this thread, you reduce any chance of the feature making it in the foreseeable future.

When it comes to feature suggestions, KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID!
You know, instead of getting pissy with me, you could just tell me to shut up.
