Something I routinely forget many games are capable of. Need my full screen action. Anyway, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume I'm going to have to explicitly tell ZDoom the size, because it's not going to provide me with widescreen resolutions just because I'm in windowed mode? -width 1024 -height 576 should work nicely then... that should be 16:9.

Hmm... clearly not going to work for an in game hud. Well... widescreen is still something secondary on my list, but I'm sure I can do something like checking the player's resolution to see its ratio and figure things out from there.

Don't know what you're seeing, but I get a whole bunch of choices in the video options menu...

And no, I wouldn't block out everything on the sides for the sake of a HUD. It was fine for cutscenes such as the intermap and credits in KDIZD, but I'd never do it during real gameplay. However, you could perhaps use small areas with some graphics to them without taking up the entire side of the screen.

Okay, issue with DoomRater's script.

I have imported the script verbatim:

Code: Select all

#library "DIAZ"
#include "zcommon.acs"

Script 357 (int movespeed)
{
SetActorProperty(0,APROP_Speed,movespeed/100);
}
And I am referencing that script in my Decorate lump like so:

Code: Select all

	AltFire2:
		MAUI E 2 A_TakeInventory("MauserIdle",30)
		MAUI F 2 A_GiveInventory("MauserIronSight",1)
		MAUI G 0 ACS_Execute(357,0,35,0,0)
		MAUI GHIJ 2
		MAUS A 2
		Goto IronReady
Which, if the wiki is correct, should be executing script 357 with an argument of 35 (which would drop the player speed to 35%, in theory). Yet, for some reason, this freezes the player completely, with no way to escape. What happened?

Have you tried using 0.35 instead and getting rid of the /100?

The joys of integer division. The reason the player freezes is because dividing 35/100 as an integer is 0. Try using 35.0 instead of 35, which will make the script interprit the argument as a fixed point number and as such should work properly

Also, division by 100.0 should now work. Furthermore, you can multiply by 0.001 instead.

Or you can be an ultra smartarse and multiply by the not-quite-precise value of 655. :P

Dangit, I figured there'd be something wrong with it since I didn't try it myself... but oh well, everyone jumped on right quick to help fix it.

The freezing issue is still here - my current script:

Code: Select all

#library "DIAZ"
#include "zcommon.acs"

Script 357 (int movespeed)
{
SetActorProperty(0,APROP_Speed,movespeed);
}
And here's how I'm calling the scripts in my weapon (posting the entire weapon code this time in case I missed something):

Five hours later and more tinkering, I've still not managed to fix the issue. I'm pretty much back where I started. Any help?

ZDoom only ever supplies me with the resolutions my monitor actually supports, which is of course very desirable behavior. Getting resolutions your monitor can't support just doesn't seem like the logical thing to do. Even it windowed mode it reports the same, so in order to use a resolution unsupported by the monitor I need to tell it explicitly what I want.

Okay, multiplied by 65535 and divided by 100 and then the values acted like they should. (100 is normal, 35 is the shouldered value you had) But then I moved around one of the two scripts and I'm not sure where I fumbled it up so now after I shoot the Mauser I'm running fast, heh.
Edit: putting this in code tags this time so it's more visible:

Final script:

Code: Select all

Script 357 (int movespeed)
{
  SetActorProperty(0,APROP_Speed,movespeed*65535/100);
}
like that!

(int movespeed) -- you don't need to go farther.

If movespeed's an int, it's going to be 0 when it's less than 1...

Um, okay...so I need movespeed to not be an int? What other options are there that would work?

Making it an int and multiplying it by 65536 so that it is correctly offsetted like the fixed point is.

'fixed point' is not really fixed point per se, it is actually an int that is divided by 65536 and then displayed with a decimal point. The script entry I posted above I tested this time so it should work- input 100 for normal speed and 35 for the shouldered speed.
