Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

Again, I don't see the point in [wiki=Installation]this[/wiki] given we already have [wiki=Installation and execution of ZDoom]that[/wiki]. It's just a redundant page. Anything that's new to this new page could have simply been added to the already existing article. Agreed. Merged the content into ...

I'm sure it was pronounced more like "s'longuzz".

I have to be honest here: I'm not too fond of the feature creep caused by code submissions recently. But somehow people seem to expect that if the code is available it's supposed to be added to the engine... I think everyone who has submitted code understands (or at least should understand) that it ...

That might have been why floating monsters automatically descended to your level when you approached them. Doubtful. Remember you couldn't look up or down at all in Doom, and you couldn't stand on top of or under enemies, so I'm sure they never considered the case of a directly vertical hit because ...

But presumedly (haven't looked at any code here yet) the special spawns X actors in the space between its current position and its previous position, else we're back to the whole "Why not do this once a tic with A_Spawn" problem. So then could we change the value of X to increase the number of ...

That would make sense in a client/server system, but Doom doesn't process things that way. The case you're describing would require that the server "told" T's machine to stick the player in the ceiling, and the client obliged without doing any logic of its own. (Even most modern games that do use ...

Can you control the spacing between actors with this new implementation? Because then you could set them to appear one map unit apart (possibly less?) and get as close to an uninterrupted "beam" as the Doom engine will allow. Granted it would also lag some computers, but there are many effects that ...

Windows Explorer. I open the ZIP and double-click the WAD file from within the ZIP file. ZDoom opens it without any qualms. ...a little warning would certainly be nice. Somehow. I dunno. This is a case of the OS being "too" helpful, methinks. And it's damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't as far as ...

Project Dark Fox wrote:Pray tell, when I open a zip file...

Clarify. Are you running a WAD directly out of its zip file? In that case, only WinZip (or whatever application you're using to view the ZIP file) knows.

Also you should not be doing that.

To clarify my earlier post: I don't disagree with the decision to allow idclev as a cheat in Nightmare, whether or not it was in the original game that way. If somebody wants to use such a command to alter their own play experience (not involving other non-consenting individuals of course), I really ...

People should not be forced to use command line to play a gamemode selectable by the menu.

How is being able to skip levels without having to complete them not a cheat?

Not to undermine what Gez has done so far, but looking at Enjay's proposed file format made me think it should be done in Decorate, at least to the extent possible. What can't be done there should be doable in MAPINFO. For the actual "cast members", have a base actor ("CastCallActor" or something ...

So basically this script could be fixed very easily:
And you're done.

Patented when? I've seen it used since vanilla Doom, and it's how the chicken in CTC runs away from the players.

The good news is your grasp of action special naming conventions is spot-on.
The bad news is you've completely failed to read the ****ing wiki:
