fun fact: deer was the go-to person to ask for help with zscript and other complicated modding questions. nowadays, you just see people complaining that zscript is too complicated and no one helps them.

I have a hunch that someone's going to ask, especially in regards to recent controversies in some gaming circles - decomps/recomps, mod & indie dev, etc. So to reassure everyone, I left this as a disclaimer at the top of Make 'Em Bleed's ZScript core file.

Whatever you wanna say to cope, man. LLMs are not used by the majority, languages like Python, ZScript, and GDScript have already helped lower the barrier for entry to coding, and Drag And Drop systems like in GameMaker, GB Studio, and UE Blueprints (rip) further helped solve that issue.

Made a #UZDoom mod with custom BFG balls: one revives corpses as friendly allies, another grants invulnerability while drawing monster aggro as a shootable decoy.
Mechanics are mine, I used a RAG on engine C++ sources to write ZScript and then debug and fix by myself. Should I publish it? #GameDev

Shouldn't be too hard to ZScript, depending on what exactly needs crediting anyway.
I know regular vanilla non-ZDoom community projects can use the CWILV** gfx to credit both the map author and music composer. Always love it when they do that :)

youtu.be/S7TP1f5U6jI The second part of a tour of the original RAMP Doom community project from 2021! Here's how I learned to love ZScript... and the garden builder that I forced through the older ACS scripting language regardless.

Is that the one where it's doing a height comparison on the blood splat? It's been a hot minute lol. I bet it can be done even more cleverly these days with ZScript

Mace blocked me, sadly...
Also the decline in ZScript mods might as well be another consequence of deer's absence. Helping people with that was like a day job for her.

…the doom community chose this.
They chose to embrace mediocrity and shit just because of a lie.
This is honestly depressing. I hope some day a Zscript rennissance occurs and your name gets cleared of lolcow status.
But the world is a cold, cruel place… I’m sorry I brought up bad memories.

Other than Mace and LossForWords stuff it’s all just safe bland MBF21 slop. Nothing creative that takes advantage of Zscript and everything just that
And shit like Deathstrider is run by “based gigachads” that hate anything outside of their politics being represented,.

Small UDMF experiment. I would love to continue this thread of thought for a map idea, but the current polyobject system suuuuucks.
But the goal here is ZScript powered map design. Featured here is an ACS like system that handles each action and can even imitate the delay function.

zscript is so cool. I can code systems and mechanics on a global level, like make something happen once any monster is killed or damaged, meaning it will even work with custom monsters... dipswitch works WONDERFULLY with eviternity, for example

deer honestly still swears by zscript for just about everything but she's... on hiatus from doing anything there.

Tbh, while I liked learning about classic doom scripting; Im probably gonna bounce back to learning more Zscript. Just felt more free and less restrictive.

I am super proud that the multiplayer spectator cam I hacked together in ZScript is being used as an example of "cool things that are only possible in UZDoom 5.0"
