EDIT: NVM I already figured it out by doing a search on the wiki and I got it to work

I would just use translations and not a whole new sprite image.

It's still unofficial, so I'd use stock ZDoom whenever possible, unless you want to design your WAD exactly for GZDoom, which I wouldn't because a lot of stuff is due to change in the next little while.

The exact same is true for ZDoom. There will be a lot of changes, all of wich will likewise be done in GZDoom. It's a bit more than a cosmetic upgrade, as well. You might check the forums at DRDTeam.org for further detail.

@PagenRaven: you should put that 1st missile statement in the 2nd missile statement, and delete the first one, and use A_FaceTarget before everyone of the missiles he's going to use. Oh yeah, give it an A_Jump so it can use the 2nd attack as well.

I just noticed something. How come the skullattack isn't doing any damage??

Shadelight · Post by **Shadelight** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 6:19 am

because you haven't set MeleeDamage maybe?

Froon · Post by **Froon** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 6:44 am

From memory it is just Damage, not MeleeDamage, A_SkullAttack makes the actor behave as a projectile when set I believe. At least that is how it worked back in the DeHackEd days.

GZDoom is "official" (whatever that means). It is the one and only version, there are no unofficial versions. It is full of Zdoom 96x features -which of course is an unofficial version of ZDoom - but GZDoom is as official as it can be. It's just as official as any port based off ZDoom (Skulltag, ZDaemon, whatever). Your point about editing may be a fair one (although it's not stopping me editing for GZDoom) because Graf will change GZDoom to base it off 2.1.0 as and when that is released to keep GZDoom in step with ZDoom.

That's certainly correct for DEHACKED. Also, missing of an attack sound in ye goode olde DEHACKED days meant Doom would crash if you used SkullAttack. I suspect Zdoom and DECORATE handle this much better.

I only made one frame for the icicle graphic so far. I know this won't work so far but I don't know how to make the yak just shoot the line of ice and continue on his way while the ice is still forming like the maulotaur can.

Enjay wrote:Hmmm, I wonder if this is a Zdoom or maybe a Hexen problem? I extracted your graphics and, from what I can tell, they use palette index 255, which in Hexen seems to be white. I know that certain palette index numbers have special functions in some of the Doom games, perhaps this is one of those instances. All the white areas get displayed in what looks like black or something pretty close to it (I don't actually see a pure black in the palette, but I may have just missed it).

I looked in Paint Shop Pro and I found that index 255 is cyan.

@PagenRaven: When writing out Damage, please remember that the number you write in will be subject to random multiplication of any number between 1 and 8 for each occurance.

Basically, the way you have it any attack using that damage could do:

75 damage or
150 damage or
225 damage or
300 damage or
375 damage or
450 damage or
525 damage or
600 damage.

Which is way too much and the highest amount of damage would kill an unarmoured doomguy 6 times over.
