JadedLexi Posted September 5, 2009 Is there any EDF Tutorials lying around? 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted September 5, 2009 A few months ago I wrote up a crappy tutorial on making a simple decoration, but never got around to doing more. Once DECORATE states are in, I should probably revise the relevant parts of it, too... 0 Share this post Link to post
JadedLexi Posted September 7, 2009 Oh, because I also wanted to know if EDF is also used for map scripting, unless EE has something else for that. 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted September 7, 2009 For map scripting, EE currently has Small (which is now considered deprecated, due to some major portability issues [i.e. supporting 64-bit and whatnot] that weren't known about when it was added) and at least a partial implementation of Hexen's ACS. I'm not sure exactly how complete its ACS support is at the moment; I generally just rely on voodoo doll scripting, for the time being at least. As for the future, there's also a new language/API being worked on called "Aeon", based on ECMAScript (aka JavaScript), which is planned to eventually be expanded to allow for a "scripts anywhere" approach: map scripts, scripts directly inside UDMF fields, scripts in EDF to create custom codepointers, etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
