[ACS] Check if map is present.

Post by Ravick »

Hi there.


I want a script to do different stuff depending on if the player has or hasn't load the mod with a(some) map pack(s) containing certain maps.
For example, it should do something if the game is being played with a map pack that contains a E4M1, but other if it contains a Map03.
Is there an ACS way to check if a certain map is present in game?

Thanks in advanced! :)

If they load the map you can check the map name/number with GetLevelInfo, but I don't think there is a way to check maps they player hasnt been to. For example ChangeLevel has no conidition to check if the map exists or not. Perhaps there is a way to achieve it with zscript.

The problem is I am stuck in a project that must be Zandronum compatible and the team asked me not to use Zscript. :(

I guess I'll have to give up on this feature. :(

Zandronum 3.2 added lump reading features, so you might be able to cook something up with that. See the linked info in the following post: https://zandronum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11370

You could check some of the ZDaemon game modes, whose ACS is usually public. However, ZDaemon ACS is wildly different from ZDoom ACS, and most of the custom modes aren't documented yet.

That is, until soon. Else you could perhaps ask Worst-vd-Plas for this script.
