Forgive me, I'm unsure how this works and curious about the rationale.
It was re-written in C, and compiled to ACS bytecode using GDCC. You can see the source code on the GitHub page, and you can find GDCC's forum thread here: http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=32078
I chose to re-write it in C because it's easier to manage, and lets me create much cleaner code than I can in ACS. Plus I get to use pointers, structs and the like.

It's because I changed how some of it works, I'm using some better code to detect how fast the player is moving, which uses the FixedSqrt function. I could probably add some extra code to bring back Zandronum compatibility though. I'll definitely give it a go.
Thank you friend! Your work is greatly appreciated!
<3! I'll try the build tonight!
Also, i noticed with the last v4 build in gzdoom that
"Possible BUG: No footsteps on grass texture....this works in gzdoom footsteps v3 btw."
Can you please double check that this works?
Be sure to check this thread out by the way, because that's where future updates will be posted.

Ok just tried out v5...so far everything seems to be working great. One question though...i thought one version of this mod had the monsters making footstep noises too...is this no longer the case?
I hate to be nitpicky but in the Zandronum v5 the footsteps seem to be less frequent than the v4 one. What I mean by that is in v5 when you run you only hear one footstep every 20 feet but in Zandronum footsteps v4 the footsteps sounds just right.
Yeah, it's mainly due to some new methods of determining speed. When I re-add the volume and delay multipliers, then you can customize it to be just like v4.

Ok cool thanks I'll go to the other thread for now on.

RE: Multipliers: That's good. I play a lot of mods that give Doomguy smaller steps/shorter strides, so being able to tweak the footstep sounds will be handy.
Is there any way the FixedSqrt function could be approximated to something that would work in Zandro?
