  • If no to the previous one, do I have permission from the original author?
  • If no to the previous one, did I put a reasonable amount of work into the resource myself, such that the changes are noticeably different from the source that I could take credit for them?
If you answered no to all three, maybe you should consider taking your stuff somewhere other than the Resources forum.

Nash's ZDoom Project Template 2.0 [16/06/14]

Post by Nash »

What's new?

15/06/2014 (version 2.0)
- Removed KSSC dependency and replaced it with ZSDF.
- Minor tweaks here and there to make use of new ZDoom features (long file names, named scripts, etc).

13/02/2010 (version 1.0)
- First release.

What is this?

WAD tools are so yesterday. For quite some time now, (G)ZDoom has supported loading files directly from disk. This is a blessing IMO because having to rely on WAD tools is very time-consuming as projects get larger and can generally slow down workflow a lot.

With this feature in mind, I've put together some scripts that'll speed up modding workflow. No more WAD tools or time wasted repackaging your PK3 - all of your mod's files can now be edited directly on disk, using your favourite programs. All of your ACS libraries and map scripts will be compiled - and your project can be ran - with just one batch file.

Happy modding!

There's one big advantage of files versus WADs that you didn't mention, which is that it works with source control. A WAD is one big binary file to Git- a folder structure with a bunch of text files works a lot better.

Also, a simpler, quicker way to get the latest ACC is to use this
Just extract and run the updater

(totally not a self plug)

TZK: Gah! Why wasn't I aware of that thing before? I would have recommended it in the instructions and talked about it in the video. :P

...or you could just edit the PK3 in SLADE.

You can't integrate that with source control. AFAIK Git sees a pk3 as one big binary file.

Yeah, honestly, if you're developing by creating a PK3 every time instead of abusing the fact that ZDoom accepts folders for its -file parameter, you're doing it wrong. PK3s should really only be used for final distribution.

This thread opened my eyes. (I haven't even realized that ZDoom accepts folders as files! :P) I still use SLADE3, but now I find it's "Open Directory" feature actually useful! :P

Thanks, everyone!

Yes! Thank you! I have been looking for so long something that can show me about creating a mod for DooM.
