Map command in CFG

How do I automatically start on a certain map from a *.cfg file? I thought it would simply be including the line "map map02" but that doesn't work.

You could make a shortcut of your Zdoom.exe to include -file [wads] and -warp 2...but I'm sure you aren't looking for that.

I want to use a CFG to start my project with the chase cam already on, and avoid using a batch file. I can't turn it on and let the player start a new game because that turns the chase cam off.

Apothem made a chasecam script awhile back...look around for the ACS Prefab Database thread.

It seems much to unstable and I don't know how to improve on it.

Feature request? (unless you already have)

You do realise you're talking to the queen of ACS, right?

Whoa, Solarsnowfall's king of ACS then. Where's the ring?

They haven't scripted one of those yet

Yea, best to use the standard ZDoom chasecam. I have made a much more complicated version of it, that is quite a bit more stable. But it's so convoluted that practically nobody could use it.

The simple version:

Code: Select all

y=sin(inv(playernumber()+getactory())*(PI+pow(tan(1.0),_cos(getactorx(players[playernumber])*1.0);
x=abs(_cos(pow(1.0,tan(campos[POS_X]))+10.0))*getactorx(players[playernumber()])+_cos(PI));
thing_move(players[playernumber],x,y,MOVE_NOFOG);delay(1);

Okay so I just made that up, but that's what I remember it looking like when I saw it.

How about providing readable code?

It was a joke, the original chasecam script was unreadable even to me.
