So let me see if i'm getting this right...
Does this mean that zdoom will be moving into an edge/vavoom like way of doing actor definitions? I've been eager to have a prog system like vavoom for ages now where i can craft real code instead of little ACS workarounds.

ACL is Access Control List. You can't use that, it's gonna be too much confusion.

so.. is this new script going to be similar to DECORATE or completly replace it?

Extend it. Replacing would be counterproductive.

I was going to post something to that affect, as well.

I still do like the state-based quasi-scripting too. But whatever works I guess.

Oh! Call it Call it DecorScript!

ok heh so it wont be a waste of my time to continue DeCorEd

however if worst comes to worse, I'll just make DeCorEd a general lump manager for other text lumps instead, so its all good

His Randy-dandy-ness never ceases to amaze. Seriously, like, I'm in a state of wtf right now. I sure hope you can make it all work beautifully (knowing how talented you are my hopes are quite high).

Randy for teh win

I've got one!

ZScript - Simple and great name

Seriously, the DECORATE lump is a powerful tool to make ACTORS, and other stuff, today Zdoom is the most powerful sourceport that exists, and surely, the easiest to use.

Reminds me that DECORATE was once intented for decorate stuff, and not really actors. (See the naming of the lump.)

Initially to allow the stuff TNT wanted to do for Daedalus, IIRC.

Wow...geedougg returned... o_O

But I like the name "DoomScript"; sounds cooler IMO.
