ZDoom

Whoops, you're right. I let my Zandronum testing lax there during this latest feature dev.

I'm trying to make a Zandronum compatible mod. It's an experiment to see if the functionality I need to script can be accomplished in the multiplayer environment Zandronum provides. One problem I've hit is that I need to concatenate within decorate (i.e. within an anonymous function). I can't find ...

@Cherno: Hmm. That could work. I'm inclined to mirror TextureID as closely as possible though, since it's so similar: a number representing a kind of resource, which can by accessed by name.

@Cherno: Thank you for posting this to Discord. @phantombeta: I'll look into serializing this and study TextureID to try and follow it more closely. I was on the fence between naming the Actor field "Shader" or "ShaderID". It seems like "ShaderID" is the way to go, especially with the increased ...

Hmm. Thanks for explaining this, Cherno. It sounds like having a "normal" and a "highlighted" version of each highlight-able image is the best solution at the moment. I think a script that takes an image list and duplicates each image and generates a GLDEFS file would make this reasonable. FYI, I've ...

I've implemented a new feature for GZDoom, but I'd like feedback on its interface before submitting a pull request. The feature is "Named Hardware Shaders". The basic idea is that, rather than assigning a shader to an image at design time, you can, instead, setup a "named" shader, that can be ...

Thanks for replying so quickly, though sad news. Regarding your suggestion A: if I understand you right, are you suggesting the Renderstyle where an actor is rendered as a single solid color? I did try that: blinking RenderStyle-Stencil on and off while hovered (trying both white and black shade ...

I need to be able to modify parameters for a shader on a particular actor and/or sprite. Minimally, I need to enable/disable a shader at runtime, but if I can control it else-ways then I can simply have the shader bypass its effect when "disabled". The only information I've found regarding shader ...

I posted this issue to both the ZDoom forum and the DoomWorld forum. I received a solution on the DoomWorld forum and wanted to post it here for others with the same issue. Any settings applied in a Model definition only apply to the "Frame" lines that come after them. When you use USEACTORPITCH and ...

I'm hitting an odd issue, and haven't found a solution to in the forums, wiki or ZScript references. After adding USEACTORPITCH and USEACTORROLL to a model, I can successfully rotate instances of it on all axes within Ultimate Doom Builder. However, when running the map in GZDoom, the model ...

Thanks for the reply @metalx1000! The thing I'm going for is to vertically center text on the screen. You addressed my problem when you said that you played with the y position a bit "-scaledScreenSize.y*.5" . Unfortunately, manually determining the vertical position like this is unfeasable for two ...

Hah, right!

Nice! I certainly could have benefited from these just a few weeks ago. I was excited for your last video "Doom ZScript Break Point", until I realized that it wasn't about breakpoints in the code, but rather a break from tutorials. Oh well. Still, great work!

I'm attaching a demo PK3 showing the effect of vertical alignment of the screen, and vertical alignment of the item when using StringDraw. Perhaps this will help clarify the issue. Note, in the attached mod, that the vertical alignment of the item doesn't seem to affect on how StringDraw renders.
