ZDoom

i *definitely* know better, that's why compilers still cannot write code for me. if i wrote some check, i want it to be there, regardless of what compiler believes. if i am left-shifting into sign bit, i know what i am doing. and so on. is there any way to left-shift into sign bit w/o UB, for ...

several times, by different people. that's why we're going wild here.

and so printf too. ;-)

interactive debugger is the best way to waste your time pretending to doing something useful. once i realised this, i stopped using interactive debuggers. and i never looked back since.

>Off hand I don't know of anything to check disk usage
iotop, for example.
to see various open fds one can use lsof.

i was debugging with printf/logf since... oh, i don't remember. more than two decades now, i guess. the only thing i need debugger for is to get a backtrace from coredump.

editing some configs is the thing that could be done from "rescue mode". you only need something like "notepad" there, but for terminal. nano is just an "advanced notepad" in this case. there is no need in "real editor" here, just something very basic that can do the job.

>What does it do that GZDoom can not trough ZScript?
there was no ZScript when Korax Mod was created. ;-) it is possible to port it now, of course, but it will require a complete rewrite. it is quite hard to even port it to k8vavoom, and k8vavoom is way closer to Vavoom than GZDoom.

>The main reasons I'm not doing this are performance yeah. i'm not saying that it is impossible in GZDoom or something. just pointed out that Janis did it (and i had to partially undo it to support maps with 2000+ monsters with at least 35 FPS; still, i hope to improve the situation with JIT later ...

i am little late to the party, but i want to clarify some things about Vavoom. Janis took some Quake code for lightmaps and other not-so-significant parts of the engine (mostly vector/plane math), but in its core Vavoom is still 2.5D Doom engine. no "full 3d map conversion" or something. at least no ...

still, why do you need a "projectile" at all? do you need all those flags set (including "noblockmap")?

this is "projectile" in effect. it is a "combo flag", and it sets "+noblockmap" flag. obviously, you cannot activate something that doesn't really exist in collision grid. do you even need a full projectile combo here? also note that you repeated "projectile" two times there, so make sure to remove ...
