Fixed.

In answer to your question, I'm just trying to clear out the ones that come up when I search for "ACS" in the bugs forum.

This one appears to be the same version I have, based off the date.

^^ And here is a save file. [r3404]^^
Just walk forwards, and a scripted sequence will attempt to take your weapons.

Side edit: Quite a gap between thread creation and now. Did you pull the thread-name out of a hat or something? :D

What version of Zen Dynamics? And what should I do to see this, since the saves are of no use now?

It changes. Map08 it doesn't strip the Machete, Magnum, ZenSMG and Streetsweeper shotgun. Map04 its only the Machete and ZenSMG.

If it makes any difference whatsoever (read: it doesn't), this certainly didn't happen during testing way back when. :P

Out of curiosity, which weapons are refusing to be stripped? Not sure how much of the mystery it would solve, but it's worth a shot.

Bug happens in the saves, but I found that I was using an older* version on Zen when I was testing

*Possibly: The one currently in the archives has the TITLEMAP, which the older one I was using didn't have but used "replaces" instead of brute forcing the Doomednum for replacing the standard Doom stuff

Did you try the save files as well?

...do you know what you're talking about? ACS usage is not a hacky trick. ACS usage should not cause any bugs with ClearInventory().

Like Graf said, this is wrong. Zen Dynamics worked for me after the garbage collector was implemented and still works for me as of GZDoom r797, which is based off ZDoom r2331

EDIT: Just tested with GZDoom r811 with Zen Dynamics, inventory clearing works fine.

Technically, they're PNG files with a funny extension, so you can always rename them.

The garbage collector has absolutely nothing to do with it, that's for sure.

It seems that something is preventing [wiki]ClearInventory[/wiki](); from doing its proper job, or at-least in Zen Dynamics where before your weapons where cleared properly (in map08 and map04), but instead, now some weapons are left behind (ignored). This never happened before (and is obviously not intended). When exactly, I'm unsure, but I have reason to believe the garbage collector is behind this issue.

I have attached a couple of save files which show this issue (saved in GZdoom [r811], but the bug is still on normal Zdoom [r2351]).
