Hmm, I had figured there was support for that by now.
I'd like to check whether a PWAD defines its own SKY textures, either from within ACS or ZScript. Possible?
Context: in WadSmoosh's TEXTURES + MAPINFO data I resolve the conflict between Doom1's SKY1/2/3 and Doom2's SKY1/2/3 by naming the Doom 2 skies RSKY1/2/3 (after the actual patches they reference).
This works fine for any mod that simply replaces eg the RSKY1 patch or defines its own sky in MAPINFO.
But it doesn't work for mods that provide a new TEXTURE1 lump whose SKY1 references an arbitrarily named patch such as NEWSKY.
Yes, this second way seems more busted but tons of older mods do it, and when opened with WadSmoosh their custom skies are ignored for the stock Doom2 sky (WadSmoosh's MAPINFO defines eg MAP01's sky as RSKY1).
So my current idea for how to fix this is to detect and fix it at runtime, on level load (which I know could break any of the affected WADs which ALSO use ACS ChangeSky, but I've yet to see a single example of this that exists in both categories). If I can determine "is this level being loaded from a PWAD? if so does the PWAD define its own SKY1/2/3 texture?" then I could use ACS ChangeSky on level start.
This is the only major level compat issue I've found with the current version of WadSmoosh and I'd really like to fix it!
How i can make a weapon spawn according to the player class? Example i want to make an AK74 spawn if you are playing with a Soviet Player class and a M16 if are playing with an USA Player class
Sorry if this was posted already, but I can't seem to find it if it is.
Is there a way to use Decorate to replace the default intermission screen text other than recoding the level lineup entirely? Say I make a Hexen gameplay mod and just want to change the story text without messing with the level order or anything.
That's actually not DECORATE's job. You'll need to look into map clusters... so it's actually a MAPINFO thing.
When a map cluster finishes, the intermission text will be displayed. If you can find out which messages belong to which clusters (which shouldn't be difficult, considering the cluster messages are labelled to show which clusters they belong to), then you'll know which messages you'll want to replace.

I somehow figured mapinfo and decorate were related.
I'm talking about the intermission text of the original iwads. I can make custom MAPINFO lumps all day, but the iwads don't have any as far as I can see. Can I only replace that stuff with Dehacked? or is there a way to do it with a MAPINFO lump? Would it make a difference if I just assumed episode 1 is cluster 1, make a lump with new text, and "voila"?

Just go into linedefs mode, then do a find for any texture or flat or linedef texture and then exit the find, all the lines with that texture will stay selected.
