Give the guy a break, he broke his hand becauxe he fell off his bike recently!

I know and that sucks but its hard to sympathize since I've been sick for a month and a half with some mystery illness that could be anything from minor to life-threatening.

A brand-new renderer would have been more than a revision bump.

But all the changes make it easier to create WADs for GZDoom but keep more of their features when run on plain ZDoom. This is why I added TGA and PCX texture support. Now I can handle everything with the regular texture manager and there's no more need for DevIL which makes things a lot easier.

God yes! I've been wanting this for so long!

.:EDIT:. Has a new version of ACC been released in conjunction with this?

So it'll be possible to make Zdoom maps with select GZdoom features that work on both ports, if I understand correctly, but not to make them look the same. Works for me, either way! Downloading.

Code: Select all
Damage (6)
To deal normal Doom missile damage:
Code: Select all
Damage (random(1,8)*6)

Sweet! Custom damage formulas!

I'm away for one day and look what happens! Nice job Randy!

Grubber - Thanks, but unfortunately your source changes are too much for my non-programmer mind to absorb.

I still don't understand how to use the flags for the three new functions I mentioned.

Randy, perhaps?

Great news to see new version. One questions, whats this about custom label actions? See, Pain...and all that!? Do you mean we can make our own labels?

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 2:36 pm

Not yet. Only Randy can tell when he plans to add them.

Same for the floating point code. That one's been collecting dust for a year now - and it contains fully functional custom state label code

So now we can make super random weapons that can do 1 to 325346236462 damage?

What I REALLY hope can be done now is projectiles that still activate when doing 0 damage, as long as the damage dealt is a function. I have to test that now.
