The old BFG's a lot of fun. Like how you can strafe and angle whilst firing it Very Happy
I was excited to see that and the other Doom alpha/beta functionality added in the latest version but do hope they get documented a bit better someplace.

Eg. I had no idea what the projectile sprite names for the BFG were called until I looked at your mod, or how many states they have. Just a slight addition to the changelog would clear this up Smile

Haha yes, the old BFG is insane.
The session answered all questions as to why it was replaced though Laughing

You're right. I'll ask Domains if he's willing to set up a page on the website for the MBF/Beta specific items Razz.

That's cool.

Didn't realise the Sceptre and Bible had map thing numbers already given - although the things themselves are of limited use unless they are softcoded to spawn/respawn.
Still a nice addition. Thanks! Smile

Cybershark, with both items they should indeed be able to spawn/respawn from what can be seen here.

Since they're a descendant of the Inventory class, they're within the scope of the spawn/respawn logic. (As well as standard pick up capability)

'sup Domainz? Smile

You're quite right, but that's not what I was saying. They do work perfectly well as score items (with or without respawn).

But if you add a scripted action to the items (triggered when they are picked up) then that action is never carried over to the respawned version of the item. Unsure if that's actually desired behaviour or not? I can't really see any reason why it would be... but it's no biggie to softcode a spawn & respawn anyway.

Ah, understood.

Could perhaps be down to a given attribute not carrying over; would ultimately need a test case to perform further tracing.

To clarify, are you speaking of if a special is attached?

If so; internally it is zeroed after that first occurrence.

Yes, that's exactly the case that I was referring to Smile

Was that ever intended behaviour? Might be worth addressing, as I can't see that having the special properties carry over would break compatibility with any existing WADs. But then I may be wrong, and I guess it can't be that big an issue if nobody flagged it up before. Just, for God's sake, please don't add another DM/compatflag to accommodate it! Laughing
