As some of you may have noticed on Discord, QZDoom devbuilds have begun to roll out recently.
These contain a selected 'batch' of features that have been merged into QZDoom for testing, and they certainly could use it. The sooner they're tested, the sooner bugs can be culled and the feature can be certified as ready for GZDoom itself.
Since they're in batches, not all of them have been pulled in yet to ensure QZDoom can keep up with changes made by GZDoom. This post will continuously be updated with information pertaining to what features are in and how they work. ----- ***NOTICE*** Please bear in mind, QZDoom is an experimental testing ground. Therefor, changes to anything can happen at any given time with each new DRD build being released. This is much more volatile and can certainly break the new features.
I will post updates when something changes and detail all you need to know. ----- Here is what's in so far:
Here is a detailed guide on how each new feature works. ----- (A_)SprayDecal optional parameters Adds an offset and direction parameter. ----- Invert Mouse X option Under Options -> Mouse Options menu is this new option. Does exactly what the name implies. ----- Weapon Bob-Firing option Under Options -> HUD Options is this new option.

----- Sprite Offsets Adds 1 Vector2 variable and 1 function to Actor.
A_SpriteOffset(double ox = 0.0, double oy = 0.0) Offsets the sprite of an actor by the specified values.
Positive X values shift to the right, Y shifts down. Vice versa for negative values. ----- ViewAngles (Part 1) Adds 3 variables and 3 functions to Actor.
The variables are ViewAngle, ViewPitch and ViewRoll. These are simply offsets to the player's actual angle/pitch/roll and they do not affect aim or overlay positions.
The flag is +ABSVIEWANGLES for actors, which makes the camera treat view angles as an absolute instead of an offset.
Three new functions exist: - A_SetViewAngle - A_SetViewPitch - A_SetViewRoll
----- SetSlot and ClearPlayerClasses Override Introduces a new menu option for SetSlot and ClearPlayerClasses. If enabled, the default behavior applies: keyconf will wipe out all player classes and weapon slot settings. Otherwise, it will only clear out vanilla IWAD player classes, and keep all weapons assigned in keyconf.
If you find any issues or bugs, please make sure to include [QZDoom] in the title of the bug report for clarity.

Also just to clarify as some folks have asked me on Discord: Until ALL selected parts have been fully merged or rejected, no new code submissions will be brought in until they're taken care of.
As mentioned in the first post, this is for the safety of QZDoom so maintenance is made easier, especially if people report bugs with some of the features. If sudden changes occur and someone completely redoes their submission from the ground up, this could potentially affect the other submissions and result in conflicts with source control.
View Angles has changed. The properties no longer belong to player(info), but to the actor itself, along with a slough of other things related to that feature. See the New Features Guide spoiler for information.
See first post for what's new. This time I chose to add a few smaller submissions that would be much easier for the average user to test, which could certainly help get them in much quicker. Said features are Invert Mouse X (Mouse Options) and Weapon Bob-Firing (HUD Options).
For the script savvy, (A_)SprayDecal has received two new Vector3 parameters: direction and offset.
Finally, the non-damaging bouncing on top/bottom of actors has been incorporated.
QZDoom devbuilds are broken right now, first becouse the cache needed to be reset after the ZMusic as dll change and then becouse you've switched to a different branch. I sent Blzut3 a PM (and tagged thim @GitHub) but he has not read it yet, he must be pretty busy i guess.
