Thanks a lot Graf!

I'd like to test this function... how do I build ACC using MSVC++ 2005?

Load the .dsw file like any other project. The project is still for VC++ 6.0.

Okay, thanks. It generated a new solution file for VC++ 2005.

Woohoo! Awesome stuff. I've got a working third person camera in ACS with aiming up/down support.

It's about as close as the built-in ZDoom chasecam as it'll get...

And the point of this post being?

Express my distaste at the fact things still use VC6

Btw what was the point of quoting me?

It's great to see so many features being implemented! Thanks, Graf, we really do appreciate it.

Heh, I just realized you could use this to script an automatic rocket jump.

Yeah I'm curious as well... why didn't Randy convert the whole thing to VC++2005?

EDIT: Yeah Steve... I can also already imagine the amount of new trickery solarsnowfall can pull off with this new function.

Most likely because there's no need to. The current project can be loaded with all compilers so why restrict yourself to the latest one?

ZDoom is different because its code can't be compiled with VC 6.0's buggy compiler.

Why? If the compiler itself wasn't so buggy I'd still use it more often. The IDE is 4-5 times faster than the .NET based versions of more recent versions.

I'll take a crap IDE over a crap compiler anyday.

Muhuhahaha!

I wonder how (or if) ZDoom and GZDoom will report pitch differently given the differences in the renderer, and where the player can look.

HotWax · Post by **HotWax** » Mon Oct 23, 2006 4:51 pm

They should ideally report the same value for the same pitch, however ZDoom has a more limited pitch than GZDoom does. This really shouldn't present a problem.
