ZMovement 3.2.1: Final update (unless serious bugs)

[Dr. Lugawi]

I don't know why, but FinalDoomer of all things overrides most if not all of zMovement's movement options. I don't suppose there's a patch for this one...? IO couldn't find it.

I've made a patch, since i also noticed this.

Make sure to load BEFORE FinalDoomer.

Hey there. I wanted to know, do the devs permit the use of ZMovement in commercial projects? I couldn't find anything relating to licensing in the OP.

@Ivory Duke This is a great mod. I already made compatiblity patches successfully with Brutal Doom, EOA, Doom (Eternal) 4 Doom, and a few others. My question is could you give me some advice on how to get it working in Brutal Doom 64? I treated it the same as the others, copying/pasting the player info and replacing "actor 64DoomPlayer : PlayerPawn Replaces DoomPlayer" with the ZMovePlayer entry in many different ways, but it never registers in the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Wait you made a BD and D4D patch? pls give I need it

[TheBeardedJedi]

Sure! But...I don't know how to host files. What's the best and most hands-off way?

EDIT: Here they are:
Brutal Doom: http://www.mediafire.com/file/1pwkjkwqe ... m.pk3/file
EOA: http://www.mediafire.com/file/d5p7obdpo ... A.pk3/file
D(Eternal)4D: http://www.mediafire.com/file/w5w4oo7qm ... D.pk3/file

Be sure to load them last in the load order, enjoy!

Ah that's sad to here but Best luck in the future man

I don't suppose someone else knows how to update the trailblazer patch

If this is confirmation of commercial use being allowed with attribution, it's appreciated, Ivory Duke. I would be interested in making a simple Build-style movement (or at least a movement style with much less inertia) for my project and this is a great platform to build (ho ho) such things upon. Thank you kindly for your excellent work with this mod.

This reminds me people can indeed make commercial products in GZDoom, I admit I had totally forgotten about it.
Sorry, if you make money out of it you wil have to look at the EDuke32 source code on your own and do your movement port.
Before you ask, I do not remember which file you have to look into and I will not assist you with that.

I do wonder though it there are issues with using that code for a commercial release though. I am not a license expert so I will not express a half assed opinion about it.

I will have to adjust the description in the post.

Thanks for making this clear.

I don't think most creators here would want to go through the potential difficulty.

Personally, I would just like to find a simple solution to reducing the friction / inertia of player movement, for my project. ZMovement does far more than I would need.

[Ivory Duke]

Since you gave me a polite reply here is a quick rundown on what to do to get better friction:
1 - process the user inputs rotating them in order to create a vector that pushes player relatively to the angle it is looking;
2 - apply your favorite flavor of friction to the velocity of the previous tic;
3 - add the vector generated at step 1 to your current velocity.

It is ESSENTIAL that friction is applied to velocity before you add the player input vector on top otherwise it will just not work.
See this Quake ground movement for reference.

Code: Select all • Expand view

void QuakeGroundMove()
   {
      Usercmd cmd = ZMPlayer.cmd;
      
      //Directional inputs
      Acceleration.XY = RotateVector((cmd.forwardmove, - cmd.sidemove), Angle);
      
      //Friction
      QuakeFriction(MaxGroundSpeed, 6.f);
   
      //Acceleration
      QuakeAcceleration((SafeUnit2(Acceleration.XY), 0), MaxGroundSpeed, Pain ? 1.f : 10.f / MoveFactor);
   }

You can use ZMovement as a reference for your own code but please do not copy paste blindly.
First of all, what is the point of that.
Second of all, as specified in the main post, ZMovement is not an optimized piece of code cause it has to continuosly juggle all the customization options.
So use it as a reference, put some effort, and come up with your own interpretation.
