That would be quite a stupid scheme. Add a dot (.1, .1.1, .2, .2.1) and it's fine again.

I think the floating point rewrite is dead anyway.

That long? Bah!

And I still don't see the benefits of floating point (Probably because I forget what it actually is).

It's mostly developer side that it would benefit. Also, if I'm not mistaken, it would help prevent some of the errors caused by fixed point math such as rendering artifacts.

How is he still wrong? .10 is indeed three versions after .7 in the system I described, and .63 and .96 come after rather than before .7, .8, etc.

Not to mention that it introduces other inaccuracies. I wonder whether it is worth the danger of network desyncs. Remember, Randy fixed such an error for 2.1.7.

Eeek, I have enough network problems as it is.

I like this new verson release every month system we have going now. I can finally update foreverhood now that HUD messages work correctly again.

So next month we'll possibly have some cow weapons!

you can bet on it that someone will make that joke come true...

Probably. I'm going to use cowdamage for a wiki example unless I get beaten to it

Thanks for all your work, both to Randy and all contributors (most notably Graf)

My point was:
- don't hold your breath for a minor version-level release based upon the number of revision-level releases. There is no direct correlation.
- version numbers aren't decimals. .12 is more recent than .2

That was all.

The latest revision does not build a zdoom.pk3. How do I get it to generate zdoom.pk3?

Code: Select all

9> rm -f wadmake zdoom.pk3 xlat/*.x dehsupp.lmp
9>'rm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
9>operable program or batch file.
9>NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'rm' : return code '0x1'
9>Stop.
9>Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Makefile project actions"

9>wadsrc - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

It's still an open bug. I have no idea what triggers it. For me this works.

Installing Unix Utilities as Randy has suggested in that thread fixes the problem.

Now I have another question. How do you use the new A_Jump feature? Can you post an example code that would choose one of out 5 random frames?
