[slightly off-topic]Is the decorate.96x supposed to be renamed to something else if you want to view it?[/slightly off-topic]

[Graf Zahl]

No, you can load it as is. The extension doesn't matter.

[Anakin S.]

Graf, would you be able to fix A_JumpIfCloser to work with weapons? If it's fixed, would it work like the hammer of retribution where if anything is within range, it would use a hitscan attack, which allows the player to hit a wall as well as a monster? Or would it work like the serpent staff where it would only drain life if there's a target in front and not if there's a wall? Would it be possible to do both?

The new alt-fire now enables me to port one of my EDGE mods to ZDoom. I'm now working on Doom Illustrated for ZDoom.

[slightly off-topic, again] Just what are these *.96x files in the TEST/ directory, anyway?

@Graf - I just tried to load decorate.96x with the build, and I got a crash stating this:

Script error, "DECORATE" line 18,
SC_GetNumber: Bad Numeric Constant "16:31=226:231"

[dennisj1]

@Graf -- Just tried to create a demo for the new key/lock system...but it doesn't work (the player won't pick-up the green key. What did I do wrong? (Map attached)

awesomeness. now i got a question.
how the hell do you USE the altfire?!

edit: nvm, figured it out. there really should be something in the controls though so you could set a button there instead of the console.

double edit: ok, i am REALLY getting frustrated on this. how the hell can you specify the color and all that for enemy railgun attacks?! used to be able to do it in that one exe, but i can't now
if i try to put those states for A_Monsterrail, it complains that i can't do that, yet when I use the A_Monsterrailattack, it says no such thing exists.

triple edit: i figured i'd include the error complaints.
when using A_Monsterrail

Code: Select all

Script error, "DECORATE" line 31:
you cannot pass parameters to '('

when using A_Monsterrailattack

Code: Select all

Script error, "DECORATE" line 31:
invalid state parameter A_Monsterrailattack

[chaoscentral]

stupid question, but wat is the console command for alternat fire?cuz +altfire doesnt work...

[Bio Hazard]

+AltAttack

[The Ultimate DooMer]

So, this new key system: does it allow you to create new keys altogether or just use the ones from all the wadgames?

[chaoscentral]

yay it works. I put a nice key conf in my zdoom wad, and it has ressurection and alt fire and stuff in there. oya. Do you think that It would be too har dto include a release state... It woulld make weapon making so much easier.

[Graf Zahl]

@Kirby: You are still using the old .EXE if that happens.

@dennisj1: You have to define a key, not a scripted pickup. The pickup will only be picked up when having an action special and it will never go into the inventory.

@Bouncy: Sorry, I forgot to add the menu option.

@TUD: Of course you can create new keys. Otherwise the system wouldn't be of much use.

@chaoscentral: Altfire shoud be added to the menu. Resurrection should not because it's a cheat, not a gameplay option.
