This is sorta unrelated, but HUGE thanks for this. I have been trying to figure out why the heck SXF_SETMASTER wasn't working in a mod of mine, and just before giving up because thinking it was unfixable, i tried out this suggestion and it finally worked. Again, thanks a lot!

EDIT: Except it's still broken in Zandronum and only got fixed in ZDoom 2.8.1... crap.

I'm currently working on learning ZScript and decided converting my reasonably simple ACS multiple backpack system to ZScript would make for some good hands on experience. What an absolute nightmare! I thought ZScript was supposed to make implementing advanced things easier than using ACS/Decorate hacks, welp that certainly isn't the case when it comes to Backpacks and Ammo.

What went from my trivial CustomInventory backpacks calling an ACS script when picked up turned into multiple legit backpack items and a mess of ZScript checks and workarounds.

The old simple ACS:

The new ZScript: (It's not finished yet, I've got the base functionality down but I still have to add the specific ammo types)

I'm too much of a smooth-brain to understand or even implement Zscript into my stuff yet. Kudos to you, alpha, for making something so clean and compact in comparison.

Yes and no. It's Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart, but uses the doom engine.

Can the SRB2 engine even be considered a Doom engine at this point? It's based off of Doom Legacy, but there are so many changes that it's absolutely its own thing at this point.

My answer is definitely yes. All the basics (mostly the same rendering methods, mostly the same map format with some additions, mostly the same lump format, etc. etc.) are still very close in how they work to Doom, there's still the same way objects work, etc. etc. It will stop being a Doom engine once another engine is used, IMO.

I guess more improvement to the engine might be important. It's not really doom engine-free game unlike Blood or The Rise of the Triad. The engine of both games are highly enhanced, it looks very much distinctive.

A drastic different art direction (technical and aesthetic) and a new palette goes a long way in taking the familiar engine smell off. It's still very Legacy Doom but with some slopes and some additional surface effects and some other interesting things. Heck it can even still play on older XP machines...

Old HUD in Wolfenstein 3DGE being ditched in favour of a status bar. Makes it feel a little more authentic.

Might as well count that as my personal achievement.
Not only I managed to model a hand, but also unwrap the UV and apply basic skeleton to it. FINALLY!
Now my sprite works will get new deranged step, heh.
Importantu notum that this thing is for lowres renders to that then will be base for decent spriteworks.

that looks super slick. it really brings the mac look together. also this is extremely nitpicky, but the health and ammo labels don't have any padding between the border of the status bar. known issue?
