You know, ACS makes my head spin.

[Ceeb]

I thought I was getting good at it. I mean, I guess some of the stuff I've written for The Hell Worm is above average. And then I got curious, so I got the sources for Comunnity Is Falling 3's ACS... I've never felt so inadequate in my life.

Anyway, what I'd like to ask is the first time you came across some ACS or DECORATE or even mapping techniques that made your eyes pop, head spin, pubic hair straighten, et cetera.

Daedalus was a real pushing point for me. I must have studied their management code for weeks. CIF 3 has some pretty ridiculous code, but it also has an OCD method of breaking down coded functions into very small pieces to make everything look so big.

Nothing that I didn't learn how to do later, at least with DECORATE. I've never used ACS much though.

At the time I thought some of the scripts that The Ultimate Doomer used for his introduction and the scoring system in Super Sonic Doom were very complex. But at the same time, I was very inexperienced with it. It's still the largest stepping stone I've ever used when it came to me learning ACS, and at the same time my largest source of inspiration.

My first glance at CIF3's DECORATE was something like "OMG it uses ACS!?". It has TONS of ACS_Execute's in it's DECORATE.

Just looking at TUTNT scripts made my head spin when i was a n00b.

Recently, the only thing I remember going "OMG HOW DID THEY DO THAT? o.O" was with the custom keybind in KDiZD.

Since then, not much surprises me, but I'm amazed at the patience several of these modders have.

(atleast a part of it)

I actually learned most of my scripting from Action Doom and Super Sonic Doom. It's from SSD that I learned how to make fog and colored sectors. Granted, that's extremely basic (and fog can be done without scripting anyway) but it's how I got started.

Looking at my own code for my Wolf3D TC and for what's in my working copy of my Blake Stone TC makes my head spin sometimes... And I wrote it all!

It's especially bad when I'm going through doing a line-by-line rewrite to streamline and modernize 4- to 6-year-old code and Decorate.

[DoomRater]

There are days when I look back to Helm's Deep as an inspiration of how so little code can be needed sometimes to achieve incredible effects. That said, I think much of the stuff in LSL blows me away moreso than any ACS scripts I've seen.

Okay, okay, Doom Racing wasn't easy for me to get. But then it was the first attempt at ACS gaming so...

Blake Stone TC

Oh my god! He's working on it!

[Xaser]

Though code from individuals like LilWhiteMouse is almost always over my head in the math department, I'm usually able to figure out at least enough of what everything does to pick out what I need to know and twist it to my will. Never had much of an ACS eye-opener for the longest time.

And then I saw Action Doom 2's. @_@

The end.

[Apothem]

The two things that stick out the most to me was SolarSnowfall's DoomKarts and Richard213's hud radar that was really good. I had the source to the radar but it has been lost to where I dunno.

Anyone know if the the source to either of these projects are still around?

[Pinky's ass]

The minigames wad by Isle contains incredible ACS!
