ZDoom

yeah, ngl, having to call a keep alive function every frame is a bit of a bad idea, and having it destroyed the instant it's not being rendered just adds way to much to the pile for the modder to juggle, because I don't think any of us want to put in visibility checks on a wall or sprite or whatever ...

If the canvas name is always the same you could just define it as a texture in ANIMDEFS already as it is today, what problem does it solve then? Personally, it's a massive pain in the ass having to juggle several lumps to get something "simple" done, and there has been several instances where I ...

nobody blames the mod - they blame the engine. Haven't we universally agreed that people like this are idiots if they can't understand they're running a mod? I understand that it muddies the water when it comes to debugging the engine, but if someone comes into the community, kicking down doors ...

Allowing zscript to create arbitrary textures with unknown lifetimes will create tons of problems for the engine. On top of that ZScript is garbage collected The deal is about as shitty as anything Vulkan offers Are you able to go into a bit more detail as to why it'd be bad to request new textures ...

I think a bunch of us would appreciate it if y'all would stop using the "modders might use it wrong" to shut down feature suggestions. It's bullshit. Do you know how many examples of malicious ZScript I could come up with? It's not difficult, and it's especially not difficult to make a mod that eats ...

Mods can already write stuff to your system just fine as is, and plenty of mods use custom CVARS. If you’re that concerned about doing it “””correctly”””, then I would more appreciate the ability to create my own save files that are readable/writable at a whim. Which means the ability to write to you ...

Having it save from a menu is not what I need. I'm using CVARS to store info that is save agnostic and modified across several places in game, not in an options menu. Instructing my players to open and close a menu, with maybe hitting a setting, to ensure this data is saved correctly is pretty ...

As GZDoom is used more and more for increasingly grandiose projects, I feel there will be growing needs to ensure that custom data stored in the gzdoom.ini config needs to be reliably saved. Currently, the only way to ensure a custom cvar saves with its respective data is for the user to manually ...

Title. Current approaches include either A) Checking every frame if a secret has been found, which isn't resource intensive but shouldn't be a thing we need to check every frame, or B) Using some form of ActorEntersSector in a map, such as SecretTrigger , which doesn't cover when picking up an item ...

Currently there is no way to put alpha in a canvas texture. This makes their use as a midtext ineffective, as the default color for an empty pixel is opaque black.

The last time this seems to have been brought up was back in 2005 in this thread: viewtopic.php?t=7359

So bringing it up again after 19 years! Thread suggests that Marisa thought it was doable, so I would assume it would be even extra doable in zscript.

Proposal to add a SetReflectivity function to either the sector or secplane struct. Sector_SetPlaneReflection exists, but this expects a sector tag passed as an argument, which is impractical from a purely scripting perspective.
