If you mean the XP system and prestige medals, thanks! I wanted to put in actual achievements, but most of them would be pure number-grinding and wouldn't add much. Plus the code is spaghettified enough as is.lunaticpandora wrote: I really like the layout and especially the achievements feature,
Oops, my bad. I looked at the DECORATE and holy hell, that is a butt-load of kill tokens!Tapwave wrote:If you mean the XP system and prestige medals, thanks!

And my god, I was kind of.. frightened by the ACS so yeah -- you should probably not implement an actual achievement system until something gets sorted out or whatever floats your boat. Astonishing job though, it looks like loads of effort has been drained into this so I thank you for your dedication and hard work. It really motivates me to have this mod as a pseudo-mandatory mod for use if I'm not using any crucial gameplay mods that would affect it or have compatibility issues. 
The acs is actually not that complex at all! I tried to document things as much as I can. It's just really long because there is a ton of things that are done very slightly differently about a hundred times: there is a script for every monster, every gun. I could do this through ZScript as well, maybe this would make the mod multi-compatible, too, I dunno.lunaticpandora wrote:Oops, my bad.

That's awesome, I would need some time to figure something out maybe! I'm such a novice when it comes to ZScript and that's basically what I create anything in nowadays because of it's flexibilities, capabilities, and it's power. The possibilities are—at this point—almost endless!Tapwave wrote: I could do this through ZScript as well, maybe this would make the mod multi-compatible, too, I dunno.
But well.. I'm not the most reliable person for ZScript (being as It's obviously possible in ACS - but probably not the most convenient in comparison to ZScript), I wish I was more capable of being able to do much more with it and my ambition right now is towards trying to utilize it more often and master it -- and of course, I'm still learning it and I'm just waiting for the documentation to expand more because I still get quite lost every now and then. Maybe... maybe one day!Tapwave wrote:
If you want to code an achievement system, or any add-on to this mod, though, just shoot me a PM on discord and I can discuss it with you, explain parts of the code and such if you need it.
Except, prepare for an imminent update that has the tokens converted to ZScript!Tapwave wrote:Speaking of ZScript, I've just updated the mod, porting everything DECORATE but the tokens to ZScript! Sadly, I can't figure for the life of me how to edit CVars in ZScript,

That is a very, very weird bug I'm aware of and have never managed to fix, simply because I have no clue what causes it. All of the state code for the guns is pretty much verbatim from their base, just with the attack functions changed, which means the guns look "right" normally, but merely changing a function apparently breaks it graphically..

I'm not really sure if it's intentional, but it just seems a bit awkward. Normally, I'd just fix them using SLADE but I'm not sure how to fix it now that ZScript has been put into the works (Which reminds me that I need to get acquainted with the ZScript language, but I digress).
