Well I did get GameArena to change them for GADoom because he's actually modifying the exe in ways that change the behavior (footstep sounds... etc), but I wouldn't ask this of Randy.Enjay wrote:Dammit! :oops:Nanami wrote:It was actually... sarcasm.
Ahh well, these things have been requested before, so I can't be the only one who thinks they might be useful. :P
Not that I really expect them to be included in Zdoom any time soon.

Last time I checked the source (v1.23, or so, but I doubt this code will have changed) the changes necessary to enable truly silent weapons were quite minor.
The way it works (from memory) is thus:
Player fires current weapon
Appropriate weapon-firing function calls function Noise_Alert
Function Noise_Alert wakes up monsters.
Continue
Now, a better version might look like this:
Player fires current weapon
If current weapon NOT defined as Silent
Appropriate weapon-firing function calls function Noise_Alert
Function Noise_Alert wakes up monsters.
Continue
Else
Appropriate weapon-firing function
Continue
Now, I don't know where you'd define your weapons as Silent (not MAPINFO, as a weapons mod might not have maps) but I'm sure we could find, or create, a suitable place. For a start, how about wherever we define custom AMMO usage?

It's even more minor than you present. Just add WIF_NOALERT to the weapon's definition. A few of the Strife weapons use this.David Ferstat wrote:Last time I checked the source (v1.23, or so, but I doubt this code will have changed) the changes necessary to enable truly silent weapons were quite minor.
