Have you ever wanted to create some kind of insane mod for Vanilla Doom (and other classic Dooms) but wished that there was a better programmatic way to write weapon, ammo, sound, string, par time, and thing definitions with a DECORATE-like language? Introducing DECOHack, the thing that does exactly that!
DECOHack takes a file (or series of files) written in a DECORATE-ish language and turns it into a DEH/BEX file that can be loaded into your favorite source port, or patched into your favorite executable via DeHackEd! Supports all patch schemes up to DSDHACKED.
decohack code.dh --output dehacked.deh
Hate backpacks? Turn them into BFGs!
#include <doom19> #include <friendly> // copy BFG pickup into backpack thing MTF_BACKPACK : thing MTF_BFG { //keep ednum, though ednum 8 }
Make an Imp with a worse attack!
#include <doom19> #include <friendly> thing MTF_IMP free states thing MTF_IMP "Worse Imp" { health 200 speed 12 clear states States { Spawn: TROO AB 10 A_Look Loop See: TROO AABBCCDD 3 A_Chase Loop Melee: Missile: TROO EF 8 A_FaceTarget TROO G 6 A_BruisAttack Goto See Pain: TROO H 2 TROO H 2 A_Pain Goto See Death: TROO I 8 TROO J 8 A_Scream TROO K 6 TROO L 6 A_Fall TROO M -1 Stop XDeath: TROO N 5 TROO O 5 A_XScream TROO P 5 TROO Q 5 A_Fall TROO RST 5 TROO U -1 Stop Raise: TROO ML 8 TROO KJI 6 Goto See } }
The sky's the limit (within reason, as it is still limited to Doom engine quirks and limitations)!
If you're worried about how many states you have left (in total or action-pointer allocated), you can run DECOHack with the `--budget` switch. Full help available via the `--help-full` switch. You can do a lot! It's all documented, even the worst of Doom's hardcodings!

============ DECOHack ============
==============================================================================
DECOHack is a utility that reads a DECORATE-like syntax and outputs a DEH or
BEX patch. You should probably read up on the ZDoom DECORATE format before
you proceed, as some pieces are similar, and some are not.
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
IMPORTANT: It is important to note that DECOHack is CASCADING.
A definition of any kind will alter or replace the original
definition, and anything unspecified in a definition will
remain UNCHANGED.
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
==============================================================================
===== Some Language Specs
==============================================================================
<BOOLEAN> : true
false
<IDENTIFIER> : Alphanumeric-plus-underscores token (starting with a letter).
<STRING> : Any single- or double-quoted set of characters, or a raw string
bounded in backticks.
<INTEGER> : Any positive integer, or hex integer (e.g. 0x01234abcd).
<NUMBER> : <INTEGER>
- <INTEGER>
<FIXED> : Any number with a decimal point in it (converted to a
fixed-point number).
<NUMERIC> : <FIXED>
<INTEGER>
- <FIXED>
- <NUMBER>
==============================================================================
===== Comments
==============================================================================
You can put unparsed comments throughout your code using "//" for single-line
comments, or "/* */" for multi-line comments, like so:
// This is a comment.
/*
This is a comment
on multiple lines.
*/
/* Multi-line comments are
pretty
free form */
You'll see them in a bunch of places in this documentation.
==============================================================================
===== Format (MUST BE SET FIRST!)
==============================================================================
To set the output format (and available features):
using ( doom19 | udoom19 | doomunity | boom |
mbf | extended | mbf21 | dsdhacked )
Examples:
using doom19
using boom
==============================================================================
===== Strings
==============================================================================
Reassigns a set of strings. Any strings replaced here can carry through to
sprite names and sound names!
Doom 1.9:
strings
{
<INTEGER> <STRING>
...
}
Boom and higher:
strings
{
<IDENTIFIER> <STRING>
...
}
The Identifier in the Boom definition is the string mnemonic from the Boom
DeHackEd specs.
==============================================================================
===== Ammo
==============================================================================
Changes an ammo entry. `ammo` plus an index, and an optional string for the
new name.
ammo ( 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 ) <STRING>
{
max <INTEGER>
pickup <INTEGER>
}
Examples:
ammo 0 "Splinters"
{
max 300
pickup 20
}
ammo 2
{
max 5000
pickup 100
}
==============================================================================
===== Sound
==============================================================================
Changes a sound entry. `sound` plus the sound name. The sound name must
match a sound string in the string table (should not start with DS or DP).
sound <STRING>
{
priority <INTEGER>
singular <BOOLEAN>
}
Examples:
sound "barexp"
{
priority 120
singular false
}
This pays attention to the string table's current state - the sound name must
be changed (if you want to change it) before it is referred to by name, here.
Note that you can't change sound names in Boom or higher.
==============================================================================
===== States
==============================================================================
Individual states can be manipulated and/or changed, but be careful -
individual state manipulation should only be reserved for very few kinds of
changes.
state <INTEGER>
{
[ <SpriteName> <Frame> <NUMBER> [Bright] <StateFlags> [<Offset>] [<ActionPointer>] ]
(
goto <INTEGER>
| goto <IDENTIFIER>
| goto weapon <INTEGER> <WeaponStateLabel>
| goto thing <INTEGER> <ThingStateLabel>
| wait
| stop
)
}
In this case, "stop" is an alias for "goto 0", and "wait" is an alias for
"goto <last defined state>". <SpriteName> must match a sprite name in the
string table at the time this is declared. <Frame> must be a single valid
character in a sprite frame. <NUMBER> is the duration in tics. [Bright] is an
optional keyword indicating that the state graphic is always painted
fullbright.
<StateFlags>, available in MBF21 or later, are additional flags placed on
individual states. State flags are only completely overwritten if at least one
is specified in the state declaration. The only state flags available in this
patch type are:
Fast This frame's duration is halved in Nightmare.
NotFast This frame's duration is NOT halved in Nightmare. This is
only useful for states that already had it, but just want
to clear flags by specifying at least one flag.
Action pointer mnemonics must start with "A_". Some action pointers,
especially in MBF and later formats, can be optionally parameterized up to two
parameters (or greater, if MBF21):
A_Die
A_Die()
A_Turn(90)
A_RandomJump(344, 128)
Parameter values can also resolve to values via thing or weapon label names,
sound indices, and references to thing or weapon state labels (like how goto
is used).
A_RandomJump(missile2, 255) // Available state label on same actor
A_RandomJump(thing 23 pain, 128) // Thing state label
A_RandomJump(weapon 5 fire2, 128) // Weapon state label
A_PlaySound("FRE001", 0) // Sound name
A_PlaySound(pistol, 0) // Sound name
Some parameter values can be set with fixed-point numbers, but not every
function requires them or understands them:
A_Mushroom(-45.0, 16.0)
Depending on the expected parameter type, DECOHack will automatically convert
those parameters to fixed-point. The following is equivalent to the above:
A_Mushroom(-45, 16)
Parameter values can also be a series of flags that get or'ed together. This
is useful for some functions that manipulate flags. A set of supported flags
can be combined via the PIPE operator (or pluses):
A_AddFlags(SOLID | DROPPED, 0)
A_AddFlags(SOLID + DROPPED, 0)
DECOHack calculates a single value from these expressions. The only checking
done is if those flags are valid for the patch level (i.e. MBF, EXTENDED, or
MBF21).
NOTE: Some flags may share names with valid labels. To force DECOHack to
interpret a parameter as a label, wrap it in quotes (it may be a good idea to
do this anyway, for readability).
A_RandomJump("missile", 64)
Also, similarly, to force DECOHack to interpret an expression as a flag
expression, prefix it with the "flags" keyword:
A_AddFlags(flags SOLID | DROPPED, 0)
Weapon states have a special characteristic that went unused for the most part
in Doom, but is still modifiable in DECOHack. You can set the offset of the
weapon graphic on the frame (but note that it will only apply it if the first
argument is nonzero).
Offset(1, 32)
Action pointers understand what is expected in each parameter - you can just
refer to thing aliases, labels, and sounds or what-have-you as-is and it
will attempt to figure it out:
A_Spawn(Demon, 0.0) // Thing alias
A_Scratch(10, punch) // Sound name
A_RandomJump(pain2, 128) // State label
A_HealChase(heal, slop) // State label, sound name
A_WeaponSound(shotg3, 1) // Sound name
A_WeaponProjectile(CacodemonBall, 0, 0, 0, 0) // Thing alias
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
IMPORTANT: Some MBF pointers use the miscellaneous offset fields
as function parameters, so attempting to use Offset on those
weapon states that use them will cause an error! You can still
use Offset with Doom/Ultimate Doom 1.9 and MBF21 pointers - those
do not use those fields at all.
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
You can also use a shorthand for doing multiple actions on "one" state by
putting a set of multiple code pointers in braces:
// a very mean mancubus
MANC H 10 Bright {
A_FatAttack1
A_FatAttack2
A_FatAttack3
}
Note that what is generated is NOT one state - states cannot have more than
one action pointer. Rather, the result is a bunch of states:
MANC H 0 Bright A_FatAttack1
MANC H 0 Bright A_FatAttack2
MANC H 10 Bright A_FatAttack3
The duration on every state is 0 except for the last one, which simulates
several actions on "one" state. This works for action pointers that also
have parameters. The following:
TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnObject(DoomImpBall, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 16.0, 4.0, 0.0, 0.0)
TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnObject(DoomImpBall, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 16.0, -4.0, 0.0, 0.0)
TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnObject(DoomImpBall, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 16.0, 0.0, 4.0, 0.0)
TNT1 A 4 A_SpawnObject(DoomImpBall, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 16.0, 0.0, -4.0, 0.0)
...could be collapsed to:
TNT1 A 4 {
A_SpawnObject(DoomImpBall, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 16.0, 4.0, 0.0, 0.0)
A_SpawnObject(DoomImpBall, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 16.0, -4.0, 0.0, 0.0)
A_SpawnObject(DoomImpBall, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 16.0, 0.0, 4.0, 0.0)
A_SpawnObject(DoomImpBall, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 16.0, 0.0, -4.0, 0.0)
}
You could even couple this with some #define preprocessor directives if you
end up doing the same thing for multiple things:
#define A_SuperFatAttack { A_FatAttack1 A_FatAttack2 A_FatAttack3 }
MANC H 10 Bright A_SuperFatAttack
...which the preprocessor will turn into:
MANC H 10 Bright { A_FatAttack1 A_FatAttack2 A_FatAttack3 }
...and compiles down to:
MANC H 0 Bright A_FatAttack1
MANC H 0 Bright A_FatAttack2
MANC H 10 Bright A_FatAttack3
Individual state manipulation can have partial changes to its properties
instead of using a full state definition line:
state <INTEGER>
{
spritename <SpriteName>
frame <Frame>
duration <NUMBER>
[Bright]
[NotBright]
[Fast] // MBF21 Only
[NotFast] // MBF21 Only
[<OffsetClause>]
pointer [ <ActionPointer> | null ]
nextstate <StateIndex>
}
More examples:
state 11
{
PISG A 1 A_Lower
wait
}
state 13
{
PISG A 4 Offset(1, 32)
goto 16
}
state 16
{
PISG C 4
goto 17
}
state 16
{
duration 1
}
state 17
{
PISF A 7 Bright A_Light1
goto 1
}
state 173
{
PLAY W -1
stop
}
state 575 // change just next state
{
goto 577
}
state 911
{
CAND A -1 Bright
stop
}
state 911
{
notbright
pointer null
}
For replacing states in bulk, you will have to "free" a bunch of states for
replacement.
state free <INTEGER>
To free an explicit range (inclusive):
state free <INTEGER> to <INTEGER>
To free from a starting state index, following next state indices until a
free or protected state is reached:
state free from <INTEGER>
Examples:
state free 100
state free 100 to 200
state free from 100
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
IMPORTANT: "Freeing" a state does NOT ALTER IT, it just flags
that state as "available" for the state-filling functions in
this utility.
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
Then, you can fill a sequence of states starting from a specific state, and
free states will be auto-filled by availability, connected together in
sequence. Be careful: it may fail with an error if you run out of available
states (especially action pointer states in Doom 1.9).
state fill <INTEGER>
{
<SpriteName> <Frames> <NUMBER> [Bright] [<ActionPointer>|<Offset>]
...
(
goto <INTEGER>
| goto <IDENTIFIER>
| goto weapon <INTEGER> <WeaponStateLabel>
| goto thing <INTEGER> <ThingStateLabel>
| wait
| stop
| loop
)
}
<Frames> in this situation can be many valid characters in a sprite frame.
Examples:
state fill 714
{
PAIN H 8 Bright
PAIN I 8 Bright A_Scream
PAIN JK 8 Bright
PAIN L 8 Bright A_PainDie
PAIN M 8 Bright
stop
}
Each state altered directly (via "state X") or filled in this manner are no
longer "free."
You can protect a state from being freed (or an inclusive range of them) by
writing the following:
state protect <INTEGER>
state protect <INTEGER> to <INTEGER>
You can also use a state clause in place of an integer for the first clause:
state protect thing 11 spawn
Be careful though - it will protect the state at that resolved index, not
anything regarding the label specifically.
It will not be flagged as "free" if in a range of free states, it won't be
treated as "free" in state filling functions, and attempting to alter the
state directly will throw an error. By default, state 0 and 1 are flagged as
protected. You can turn off the protection on states by doing the following:
state unprotect <INTEGER>
state unprotect <INTEGER> to <INTEGER>
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
IMPORTANT: DECOHack is intentionally not very smart about
figuring out user intent, especially around states with hardcoded
purpose, in order to keep patch crafting as flexible as possible.
For example, one such state, State 266 (S_VILE_HEAL1), is the
state that the action pointer "A_VileChase" can make an actor
jump to when it resurrects a dead monster, despite the fact
that it is not referenced ANYWHERE on a thing definition's
state pointers!

==============================================================================
===== Weapon
==============================================================================
Weapons are a combination of state filling and attribute declaration. All
definitions are cumulative on the weapon slot (separate definitions can alter
the same slot in different ways).
Ready, Select, Deselect, Fire, and Flash state labels set the weapon state
indices. Other labels are used for arbitrary jump points. "LightDone" is a
built-in alias for state 1.
Unlike ZDoom DECORATE, the "Spawn" state is not used, as that is used by an
associated Thing for pickups.
weapon <INTEGER> [ : weapon <INTEGER> ] [ <STRING> ]
{
ammotype ( 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 5 )
//MBF21 fields
ammopershot <INTEGER>

clear properties // If present, clear all properties.
clear flags // If present, clear all flags (both sets, if available)
// MBF21 Flags (MBF21 feature set only)

- mbf21 <INTEGER> // unset flag(s)
+ <MBF21WeaponFlagName> // set flag
- <MBF21WeaponFlagName> // unset flag
// specific state assignment.
state <WeaponStateName> <INTEGER>
// specific state assignment using another thing's states.

SHTF B 3 Bright A_Light2
goto lightdone
}
}
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
IMPORTANT: Using "goto" or other "jump" actions to jump to
labels/state pointers that you have not set or re-declared
within a "states" block will jump to whatever state is already
declared for that label!
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
To flag all states as "free" that are connected to a weapon, type the
following:
weapon <INTEGER> free states
weapon <INTEGER> free <WeaponStateName>
And the same result will happen if you freed from each defined weapon frame
individually. Best used before redefining a weapon. NOTE: "Freeing" is NOT
the same as clearing the state definitions!
You can copy from another weapon slot by adding the [ : weapon <INTEGER> ]
clause:
weapon 3 : weapon 4 "New Weapon Name"
{
...
}
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
IMPORTANT: DECOHack does NOT have any concept of "inheritance"
as DECORATE does. The copy via the ":" is a straight-up
definition copy, and does not have a concept of "super" or
"parent" objects of any kind!
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
All weapon characteristics and state labels get copied.
You can also swap two weapon slots:
weapon 3 swap with 4
Multiple weapons can be edited as though each weapon were changed
individually via an "each" clause like so:
each weapon from <INTEGER> to <INTEGER>
{
// ... weapon properties ...
}
each weapon in ( <INTEGER or WeaponAlias> , ... )
{
// ... weapon properties ...
}
For example, you can make all of the weapons have infinite ammo:
each weapon from 0 to 8
{
ammotype 5
}
Or maybe just the pistol and chaingun:
each weapon in (1, 3)
{
ammotype 5
}
If states are filled across the set of weapons, any special frame indices
will set to the EXACT same value across all of the specified weapons (i.e.,
the same Select state, the same Fire state, etc.).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapon Aliases
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can specify identifier aliases for weapon slots by using the following:
alias weapon Shotgun 2
...so the next time you refer to it, you can write:
weapon Shotgun
{
// ... code
}
The alias works in every place you can use a weapon reference:
weapon Shotgun free states
weapon 4 : weapon Shotgun "Shotgun Copy"
{
// ... weapon body
}
Weapon alias identifiers are case-insensitive. There are a few internal
"#includes" that will add these common ZDoom weapon names by default.
==============================================================================
===== Thing
==============================================================================
Things are a combination of state filling and attribute declaration. All
definitions are cumulative on the thing slot (separate definitions can alter
the same slot in different ways).
Spawn, See, Melee, Missile, Pain, Death, XDeath, and Raise state labels set
the thing state indices. Other labels are used for arbitrary jump points.

thing <INTEGER> free <ThingStateName>
And the same result will happen if you freed from each defined thing frame
individually. Based on the current thing definition. Best used before
redefining a thing. NOTE: "Freeing" is NOT the same as clearing the state
definitions!
The following editor numbers cannot be used: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 11, as they have
a special purpose: Player Starts, plus Deathmatch.
You can copy from another thing slot by adding the [ : thing <INTEGER> ]
clause:
thing 3 : thing 4 "New Name"
{
...
}
All thing characteristics and state labels get copied.
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
IMPORTANT: DECOHack does NOT have any concept of "inheritance"
as DECORATE does. The copy via the ":" is a straight-up
definition copy, and does not have a concept of "super" or
"parent" objects of any kind!
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
You can also swap two thing slots:
thing 3 swap with 4
Multiple things can be edited as though each thing were changed individually
via an "each" clause like so:
each thing from <INTEGER> to <INTEGER>
{
// ... thing properties ...
}
each thing in ( <INTEGER or ThingAlias> , ... )
{
// ... thing properties ...
}
For example, you can make all of the hanging bodies non-solid:
each thing from 129 to 134
{
-SOLID
}
Or maybe make some slower projectiles really fast and damaging!
each thing in (7, 17, 32, 33, 37)
{
speed 25
damage 10
}
If states are filled across the set of things, any special frame indices
will set to the EXACT same value across all of the specified things (i.e.,
the same Spawn state, the same Missile state, etc.).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thing Aliases
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can specify identifier aliases for thing slots by using the following:
alias thing DoomImp 12
...so the next time you refer to it, you can write:
thing DoomImp
{
// ... code
}
The alias works in every place you can use a thing reference or slot:
thing DoomImp free states
A_Jump(thing DoomImp death)
thing 200 : thing DoomImp "Imp Copy"
{
// ... thing body
}
Thing alias identifiers are case-insensitive. There are a few internal
"#includes" that will add these common ZDoom thing names by default.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Auto-Things
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things can be freed and filled automatically like states. To free a single
thing slot:
thing free <INTEGER>
To free an explicit range (inclusive):
thing free <INTEGER> to <INTEGER>
Examples:
thing free 151
thing free 151 to 250
In order to fill the next free Thing, you need to define Things using the
"auto" keyword:
auto thing <IDENTIFIER> [ : thing ( <INTEGER> | <IDENTIFIER> ) ] [ <STRING> ]
{
// ... same thing body like always ...
}
Note that you'll need to use an unused identifier (or alias) to represent the
new Thing when you need to refer to its index later. The identifiers are
case-insensitive.
Examples:
auto thing NewImp "New Imp"
{
// ... code ...
}
auto thing BetterImp : thing NewImp "Better Imp"
{
// ... code ...
}
...then in action pointer functions (and other places that use thing
references), you can refer to them later since they are now aliased:
A_SpawnThing(NewImp)
A_RandomJump(thing NewImp death, 128) // Label in a specific thing
Any place that would ordinarily use a Thing index can use an auto-thing
identifier in place of the index.
Things that are edited directly or auto-filled this way are not "free"
anymore, similar to how "free" states work.
You can modify auto-filled Things later (remember, definitions cascade!) by
writing a normal Thing definition body:
thing BetterImp
{
// ... code ...
}
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
IMPORTANT: DECOHack will not warn you about Thing slots with a
special purpose being filled this way! Most of the time, auto-
things are useful for EXTENDED and higher patch types. Be
VERY careful if you use this feature in Vanilla or Boom!
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
You can also influence the next "auto thing" index/slot to be used via a
special clause:
set next auto thing index <INTEGER>
...where <INTEGER> is a positive integer for setting the next seek index for
"auto" things. This may not write to the exact slot for the next thing,
however - it will still seek to the next "free" slot from that provided index!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thing Editor Keys
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
https://zdoom.org/wiki/Editor_keys
DECOHack Things also support the Editor Keys that are read by map editors
like Ultimate Doom Builder or SLADE, except the supported keys are passed
along to the resultant DEHACKED file. The following keys are detected:
//$Angled
//$NotAngled
//$Category <String>
//$Group <String>
//$Color <Integer>
//$Colour <Integer>
//$Sprite <String>
//$EditorSprite <String>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flag Mnemonics
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of integers, you can use the following mnemonics for object flags:

==============================================================================
===== Custom Action Pointers
==============================================================================
There may be some patches that accept bespoke actions or action functions that
are not known to DECOHack, or actions that port authors include that may not
be "standard". For those, you can specify custom pointers for use on Thing
or Weapon states:
custom thing pointer <PatchType> A_PointerName ( <ParameterType> [ , <ParameterType> ...] )
custom weapon pointer <PatchType> A_PointerName ( <ParameterType> [ , <ParameterType> ...] )
Where <PatchType> is:
boom // no parameters, allow Offset
mbf // two parameters max, store in Misc fields, disallow Offset if at least one parameter
mbf21 // ten parameters max, store in Args fields, allow Offset
...which describes how many parameters the function can take and how it's
stored in the patch (misc fields, or args).
<ParameterType> is:
bool // 0 or 1
byte // -127 to 127
ubyte // 0 to 255
short // -32767 to 32767
ushort // 0 to 65535
int // -2147483648 to 2147483647
uint // 0 to 2147483647
angleint // -359 to 359
angleuint // 0 to 359
anglefixed // -359.99998 to 359.99998
fixed // -32768.99998 to 32767.99998
state // 0 to 2147483647, verify valid state index, reference, or label.
thing // 0 to 2147483647, verify valid thing index.
thingmissile // 0 to 2147483647, verify valid thing index, and thing is a MISSILE.
weapon // 0 to 2147483647, verify valid weapon index.
sound // valid sound name.
flags // -2147483648 to 2147483647, flag expression
For example, a popular non-standard pointer, MonsterRail:
custom thing pointer boom A_MonsterRail()
...and its counterpart, FireRailgun:
custom weapon pointer boom A_FireRailgun()
...the Mushroom pointer from MBF:
custom thing pointer mbf A_Mushroom(anglefixed, fixed)
...the WeaponMeleeAttack pointer from MBF21:
custom weapon pointer mbf21 A_WeaponMeleeAttack(ushort, uint, fixed, sound, fixed)
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
IMPORTANT: This is only supported for Boom and higher, since those
patch formats refer to action pointers by mnemonic - defining a
custom pointer as "A_PointerName" will write "PointerName" to the
correct place in the [CODEPTR] section of the patch. Name your
experimental pointers accordingly!
/!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\ /!\
==============================================================================
===== Custom Properties
==============================================================================
There are some ports out there that accept additional DeHackEd properties. In
order to use those, you have to declare them ahead of time, like custom action
pointers.
custom <Object> property <Name> <DEHLabel> <ValueType>
...where <Object> is one of:
thing, weapon, misc, state, sound, ammo
...and <Name> is the property name.
...and <DEHLabel> is the DeHackEd entry name when the DEH patch gets written.
...and <ValueType> is one of:
bool // 0 or 1
byte // -127 to 127
ubyte // 0 to 255
short // -32767 to 32767
ushort // 0 to 65535
int // -2147483648 to 2147483647
uint // 0 to 2147483647
angleint // -359 to 359
angleuint // 0 to 359
anglefixed // -359.99998 to 359.99998
fixed // -32768.99998 to 32767.99998
state // 0 to 2147483647, verify valid state index, reference, or label.
thing // 0 to 2147483647, verify valid thing index.
thingmissile // 0 to 2147483647, verify valid thing index, and thing is a MISSILE.
weapon // 0 to 2147483647, verify valid weapon index.
sound // valid sound name.
flags // -2147483648 to 2147483647, flag expression
string // any string expression, written as-is.
For example, Doom Retro's "gib health" property for Things can be defined as:
custom thing property gibhealth "Gib health" int
==============================================================================
===== Par Times
==============================================================================
Only for certain patch formats (Boom-compatible), Par Times are declared this
way:
pars
{
<MapName> <INTEGER> // seconds
<MapName> <INTEGER>:<INTEGER> // minutes:seconds
}
Where <MapName> is a map lump (map or episode-map is derived from it), and
<INTEGER> is the par time in SECONDS (or <INTEGER>:<INTEGER> is
minutes:seconds).
Examples:
pars
{
e1m1 30
map20 150
map20 2:30
map45 200
}
Note that DECOHack is not prudent enough to check for "valid" minutes and
seconds. The formula, no matter what is entered, is always:
(minutes * 60) + seconds
...which means that a value of 81:75 is considered perfectly valid:
(81 * 60) + 75 = 4935 sec.
==============================================================================
===== Miscellany
==============================================================================
Miscellaneous data is in the miscellaneous block:
misc
{
monstersFightOwnSpecies <BOOLEAN>
initialBullets <INTEGER>
initialHealth <INTEGER>
greenArmorClass <INTEGER>
blueArmorClass <INTEGER>
soulsphereHealth <INTEGER>
maxSoulsphereHealth <INTEGER>
megasphereHealth <INTEGER>
godModeHealth <INTEGER>
idfaArmor <INTEGER>
idfaArmorClass <INTEGER>
idkfaArmor <INTEGER>
idkfaArmorClass <INTEGER>
bfgCellsPerShot <INTEGER>
maxHealth <INTEGER>
maxArmor <INTEGER>
}
==============================================================================
===== SPECIAL: DSDHACKED Patch Behavior
==============================================================================
DSDHACKED patches introduce a way to extend sprite names and sounds. DECOHack
will extend these automatically whenever a new sprite is referred to in state
definitions or a new sound is referred to in parameters or in sound
definitions as though they already exist.
If any sprite name uses characters that are not available (or legal) in an
identifier, you need to wrap the name in quotes:
"TR-X" ABCD 5 A_Chase
"00BF" G 10 Bright
NOTE: These features are only enabled for patches that employ a DSDHACKED
(or better) feature set!
You can also affect what the next available sprite or sound index is with the
following clauses:
set next sound index <INTEGER>
set next sprite index <INTEGER>
...where <INTEGER> is a positive integer GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO the current
sprite or sound index (for safety reasons). For example:
set next sound index 1000
set next sprite index 350
==============================================================================
===== Preprocessor
==============================================================================
DECOHack has a C-like preprocessor. The following directives influence how
a DECOHack file is parsed.
------------------
#include
------------------
The #include directive includes the contents of the specified file. The
filename is provided as a string parameter, and can either be a relative file
path from the file that contains the directive or an absolute path. Files can
be included more than once - use this with caution!
#include "scenery.dh"
#include "maps/mapnames.dh"
You can include some internal resource files by prefixing the file path with
"classpath:" and it will attempt to read that file from the Java classpath.
#include "classpath:decohack/constants/doom19.dh"
There are a few #include paths that are aliased in DECOHack for convenience:
<doom19> "classpath:decohack/doom19.dh"
<udoom19> "classpath:decohack/udoom19.dh"
<doomunity> "classpath:decohack/doomunity.dh"
<boom> "classpath:decohack/boom.dh"
<mbf> "classpath:decohack/mbf.dh"
<extended> "classpath:decohack/extended.dh"
<mbf21> "classpath:decohack/mbf21.dh"
<dsdhacked> "classpath:decohack/dsdhacked.dh"
<friendly> "classpath:decohack/constants/friendly_things.dh"
For example:
#include <mbf21>
...is exactly the same as:
#include "classpath:decohack/mbf21.dh"
------------------
#define
------------------
The #define directive defines a single-token macro that expands to a series of
other tokens. This is also useful for creating defines and testing if they
were defined later. They may also expand to zero tokens. All macro tokens are
CASE SENSITIVE!
NOTE: Unlike the C-language preprocessor, this does not create macro
functions.
#define GREETING_TEXT "Hello."
#define FILE_WAS_INCLUDED
#define lines can be multi-line, if each line is ended with a backslash:
#define CLEARED_THING { \
clear flags \
clear sounds \
clear states \
state spawn thing MTF_CANDLE spawn \
}
------------------
#undefine
------------------
The #undefine directive removes a previously defined macro. All subsequent
uses of that macro are treated as though they were never defined.
#define GREETING_TEXT "Hello."
#undefine GREETING_TEXT
------------------
#ifdef
------------------
The #ifdef directive includes the next series of lines if the following macro
was defined, until it reaches an #endif directive.
#define DOOM_STRINGS
#ifdef DOOM_STRINGS
#include "strings/doom.dh"
#endif
------------------
#ifndef
------------------
The #ifdef directive includes the next series of lines if the following macro
was NOT defined, until it reaches an #endif directive.
#define NO_PAR_TIMES
#ifndef NO_PAR_TIMES
pars
{
e1m1 0:40
}
#endif
------------------
#else
------------------
The #else directive ends the most recently started "if" directive block and
provides an alternate section if the first "if" is not processed.
#define TOUGH_PAR_TIMES
#ifdef TOUGH_PAR_TIMES
#include "maps/tough-partimes.dh"
#else
#include "maps/normal-partimes.dh"
#endif
------------------
#endif
------------------
The #endif directive ends the most recently started "if" or "else" directive
block.
