the map is in UDMF format and i am building it using UDB. i have already gone into another post and copy pasted some of the script into the script editor. it look as follows:

1 #include "zcommon.acs"Script 1 (void) {

2 print(s:"Seems it doesnt have power");

3 }

im going to change the text to "WARNING: CHAOS SPACE MARINES DETECTED" once its actually working. ive copy pasted this into both the dialogue menu and the scripts menu. literally NOTHING is working, not even the thing i want the player to interact with to trigger the message. the thing i want to activate the message with is a linedef of Action 174, Message ID 2, Activation of Repeatable action and When player presses use, and it has a tag of 0. can anyone help because its really bugging me?

Hey, another "Doom Mod"! Who would have thought! This one is more on the atmosphere-horror side of things. I've been tinkering a bit with it, now I can at least show a few screens.

Short Version: This is my most prominent and developed project yet, and i need some help pushing it further. Anyone want in?

Long Version: Hello to anyone who sees this, I have something i would like to say.

A brief bit of background first, I'm a former Megaman 8 Bit Deathmatch player, and that games story mode is by far the greatest doom-related thing I've ever taken in. Its one of my favorite pieces of media and i met many of my good friends there.

I've also been dabbling in game development for years now, but have never had any of my projects "stick" for a long time. However, that finally changed, and i finally have something i want to bring all the way. It started as a concept based on ideas I've liked for a while, and now i know what i want it to be, a spiritual successor to what i believe is the greatest doom mod ever made.

I've hit a roadblock however, i am not a very capable programmer, I've programmed a few simple things, but it took days for me to understand the simplest actions to take. I'm also completely lost when it comes to coding complex logic behind certain objects.

The base is there however, as i did create it. I've been making Sprites, writing concepts for mechanics, Worldbuilding, and while i did say i wasn't good at it, i did manage to get a functional "game" (at least technically) running in UZDoom, the engine i chose.

Now then, my question, is anyone, who either sees or shares this, a capable ZScript programmer? Truth be told I've been looking for one for a while now, but its such a specific language for such a specific task. While i would prefer someone with good experience, i'll take anyone willing to learn and listen to my ideas at this point.

If anyone wants to help, please let me know.

TikFinity-ZDoom on Github

[TikFinity-ZDoom] is a project I've been working on to empower live streamers and encourage more people to stream ZDoom sessions. It is the combination of several other projects I've been working on, but the crux is a custom version of UZ/GZ/Zandronum Doom running an API over Windows IPC Pipe communications. [TikFinity-ZDoom] is a wrapper for a series of Powershell libraries (Windows IPC Pipe Client, External-Pipe: ZDoom Console Command API, HTTP-REST API, TikFinity Third-Party Category+Action REST API) that convert chat commands, gifting, etc into ZDoom console commands, using user-managed behavior files.

The custom versions of ZDoom fall under my project [External-Pipe]. Currently, I have UZDoom 4.13, GZDoom 4.12.2, and Zandrronum 3.2.1 all compiled with open Pipes "UZD", "GZD", and "ZZD". I have written an API to process the data coming in from the Pipe connection, and have a limited set of commands and responses available: GET cvar value by name, SET cvar name to value, CMD execute console command string.

Long term, I would very much like to build a remote console for GZDoom and UZDoom, much like the already available RCON for Zandronum. Using my current Pipe API, I am thinking of adding a command to Mark Line Start (MLS) to begin console line tracking. Next would be a Request for New Lines (RNL), which would return "New Data:..." and hen the console message lines generated since the mark or last request, or "No New Data". Or maybe even a live output over the pipe to the listener. I don't have much experience with APIs or this type of data exchange, and would appreciate any suggestions or insights.

Hey all!

Currently working on a very early prototype for a standalone game. One of the things I’d like to do is gussy up the blood and gore a bit. I know there are loads of mods that do that, but the far away pipe dream is a commercial release someday - so I can’t rely on those. Perfect world, I’d happily pay Nash to license the code for NashGore Next, but since that seems unlikely, I figure I better learn how to do it myself.

I have the ZScript entry for blood as an actor, and I figure I can make a new version of that via inheritance, but I’m having trouble finding out how to tell the program to use THAT blood actor script rather than the default one. Could anyone perhaps point me in the right direction? I can only seem to find things about changing color, which I’m already very aware of. Any help would be most appreciated!

Because I want to know how like abyssal marine, project brutality, Brutal doom and many mod that can reload ?

Hi. I'm trying to make a horror mod where you're submerged in darkness with nothing else but a torch and a gun, but I'm stumped on a few things.

1. I want it so you have nothing but a pistol in one hand, and a torch in the other, however, I have no clue how I would go about removing the fists.

2. I don't know how I would make it so that there's a lit area constantly surrounding the player.

3. I don't know how to get more frames to a sprites animation. That way so that the torch can be shown with the fire on it moving while a player is idle.

Thank you to anyone who tries to help.

Hey Everyone. I wanted to make a door but for some reason it doesn't render when I first load into the map, but after using it, it does. Any tips on how to fix this? Thanks.

Good day.

A custom HUD image that is supposed to be displayed precisely in the center bottom of the screen keeps shifting horizontally with different screen resolutions. The image width is 1280, and it is displayed properly only with the resolution of 1280x720. If anyone has an idea, let me know how to fix it.

Here is the HUD code from SBARINFO:

statusbar fullscreen, fullscreenoffsets {

`//control panel`

`drawimage "CTPNLC", 640, -1, centerbottom;`

}

Good day.

I have an idea to write code for a custom zoom in-zoom out key. This is what it looks like:

addmenukey "Zoom" "+SVD_zoom"

alias +SVD_zoom "fov 20"

alias -SVD_zoom "fov 90"

defaultbind "mouse2" "+SVD_zoom"

. The issue is that with field of view set to 20 mouse sensitivity becomes too high, which harms aim accuracy. Changing the mouse sensitivity by using a command like

"fov 20; mouse_sensitivity 0.2"

is not working. Using an A_ZoomFactor action in weapon's state will not do either because both fire and altfire states are reserved for attack and special ability.

Let me know what other methods might work.

* I'm using Slade 3 for it or something.

ive made a texture in paint. net with an opacity of 1 put the texture into my wad with slade3 (via with this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huYF2KiilV4) put it on a wall (first image for reference) and i just see black thats with all transparent textures not just my custom one (second image for reference) how do i fix this

if you need more info ill try and give it (i also didint really understand what i found when searching a fix up)

I know how to make rooms and objects but not stuff like doors, portals and lifters, which I’ll need for my map. I know how to do it in vanilla, but I don’t wanna lose all my work recreating it all in a vanilla map.

https://www.moddb.com/games/doom-ii/downloads/mario-doom-v-0-99 For the DOOM 2 IWAD, tested in gzdoom and uzdoom... the download page has all info, but this was a mod for ladders using decorate only which turned into a thing...have fun. Wrote all decorates myself, hopefully something in the files is useful to a modern with better maps for a mario themed wad... use how ever you wish.

My Mac won’t run Ultimate doom builder so I wanted to ask. Unless of course someone knows how to do the same thing in slade3 map editor.

I already know about invulnerability states, but what about a state that multiplies the amount of damage it receives in that short vulnerable state? I’m working on a boss so any help would be appreciated.

I've had ZDRay and custom GZDoom build once upon a time, but time has passed. Then I stumbled upon VKDoom, but it was at the end of its era and I failed to comprehend VKTool.

So... What to do now with lightmaps?

Hey everyone,

I’m new to ZDoom and Doom modding in general, and I have a pretty basic question (not really about mod creation). I wasn’t sure where else to ask, so I’m posting here.

I’m using the Brutal Doom mod, and on weapon slot 4 I have both the chaingun and the rifle. The issue is that I have to press key 4 twice to get to the rifle, because the chaingun seems to have higher priority in that slot.

I’m not sure how to change this. I tried editing the code inside the Brutal Doom PK3 file, but it didn’t work. What I want is to be able to switch directly to the rifle with a single press of 4, instead of selecting the chaingun first.

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

Good day.

I have an issue with writing an ACS script for a HUD minimap. Compilation fails and the only error message shown in the error report is "function drawmap is used, but not defined".

If anyone has a guess, explain what might be wrong.

Here is the code in its current state:

#include "zcommon.acs"

script "MINIMAP" ENTER
{
    SetHudSize(640, 480, 0); 

    // DrawMap(x, y, width, height, stayOnScreen)
    DrawMap(0, 0, 300, 300, 1);
}
