Alright, I’m toying around with this idea… I want to add extra weapons to zdoom, but I also want to be able to pick them up in normal doom maps. So I want to know if it’s possible using decorate to get a map to spawn a fighters axe from hexen in place of a berserk patch.
If that is possible, then could I also spawn the clerics eye staff in place of a plasma rifle and have it use cells for ammo (i.e. so it and the BFG would share ammo?
You can spawn a fighter's axe using spawnspot (provided you give it the graphics), but you can't change it's behaviour.
For the serpent staff using cells - you can't change the ammo type directly, but you can work around it using scripts. It involves a script that continually checks the amount of blue mana you have and changes the amount of cells you have to match it. I can give you a script for this (I have one which does this for rockets and flame orbs) but it is better to wait for 64, as you'll have a lot more freedom with the weapon and it'll be simpler to make, too.
To make it appear in your map, either spawn it in with spawnspot or create a fake pickup in decorate and have it run a script that gives you the new weapon.
