Recompiling an old GZDoom with less features

[EmperorGrieferus]

In all seriousness, while this bug may theoretically be abused for nefarious purposes, I still think that under realistic conditions the worst case scenario is a "GZDoom has crashed" message, because with ACS's limitations it's just not possible to write a bogus BEHAVIOR that 'works' on more than one machine.

Hello. I want to make my verion of GZDoom. In this version I want to remove models support. Help me.
P.S.: I'm using GZDoom v2.4.0. And I want to remove models support from this version.

What's the point of having version that is lacking something?
Usually people want own versions that have some experimental or contradictory features.
Anyway, there is a Programmer's Corner on the wiki main page.

All you need to do is to find the part where it calls the MODELDEFS parser during initialization and comment it out.

Is this in gzdoom.pk3?

In this version I want to remove models support.

But why don't you just stop using models?

Also, are there any plans for such forks like ZDoom-LE and ZDoom Classic to be patched for these major issues? It's probably not a good idea to recommend plain old Zdoom 2.8.1 and such anymore...

I ported the security fixes to ZDoom LE and ZDoom32, ACS stuff and execution of unsafe commands (this one could be even worse).

A news thread isn't the place to discuss that.

I'm going to be harsh, but if you ask this question, it means you have a lot to learn about programming before you can attempt even a very minor modification like the one you want.

But no, it's not in gzdoom.pk3; it's in the source code. Specifically, it's the call to gl_InitModels() at the end of R_InitSprites(). This line. Just comment out this simple line, compile GZDoom, and it won't have working support for models.

I don't know why you want that in the first place -- it seems to me it's probably simpler to just not load models if you don't like them -- but here you go, that's the extent of the help I'm willing to give you.

Do i need to remove gl_InitModels()? I just don't quite understand what you mean by "comment".

Sorry but everything was already told.

Another question. Why in default settings in "rocket trials" selected "Particles"?

Look - GZDoom code comes with the freedom that you are free to modify it any way you choose.

However, that freedom does not mean that the developers or any of the team HAS to help you make modifications they don't agree with or don't make sense. For those, you are completely on your own. I think they went out of their way for you and if you're still having trouble you should ask elsewhere.

I think I was being exceptionally nice in splitting the topic instead of just keeping it locked so it could continue. Now it stays locked.
