It shows for me.

When you don't seen an update on a page, edit the URL to call the "purge" action, e.g. for Classes it'll be https://zdoom.org/w/index.php?title=Cla ... tion=purge

It still doesn't have the section. But, puzzled by your post, I tried to log in and found out that it only happens when I'm logged out.

Should the DECORATE definitions for classes be replaced with Zscript?

From [wiki=ZScript_functions]here[/wiki]:

NOTE: Calling subfunctions in ZScript is generally NOT recommended, i.e. calling another user-defined function within another. Doing so will take much more processing time and power, potentially slowing things down. This is imperative especially for common actors that may call the function all the time -- it may be better just to do all the functionality if possible within just one function instead and reorganizing the code to be more efficient.

Reading the above, I'm worried that modders will take this literally and not use sub-functions ever.

Yes, they should eventually.

I'm not sure if I can find more in regards to aspect-ratio on the ZDoom wiki, but I'm interested to know if there's a way to fix the "squished" Doom-sprites in GZDoom? It's not a big issue obviously, but I didn't want to devote an entire thread to this.

Multiply the X or Y scale by 1.2, depending on which axis is squished.

[Rip and Tear]

You might want to look at pixelratio on https://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO_options_ ... L_renderer

[Agentbromsnor]

Thanks! I haven't seen that function before. Interesting.

Looks like I've been... BannedFromZDoom™.

For the record, Rachael made this account for me, due to the fact that it was initially banned from registering.

I made the account because I assumed the security lockdown prevented any account whatsoever from being made. I could not find a ban entry on Lud, specifically.

I've assumed it would still be an improvement over giving custominventory items that do the same thing in a pickup state, which I've had plenty of actors do constantly already...


EDIT:
Custominventory hack that ends in "fail" >>> CI hack that ends with "stop"

ZScript direct >>> ZScript subfunction, by a factor of something like 2.1

ZScript subfunction >>>>>>>> any CI hack, to the point where the latter nearly breaks my computer with more intense tests long before the ZScript subfunction begins to be unplayable


EDIT: I've changed the wording of that warning, to include the above observations and to give more nuance to the problem.

On the DMFLAGS page, "Allow FOV" & "Big Powerups Respawn" share the same value: 524288. If someone could fix this, it would be awesome.

Hi, I just upgraded the MediaWiki installation from 1.27.1 to 1.29.1. Bye now.

[Galaxy_Stranger]

I updated the Zdoom Dmflags page.

@Vaecrius: Was the warning [wiki=CVar_(ZScript)]here at the top of the page[/wiki] meant for FindCVar()?
