acs-libs

A collection of Zandronum ACS libraries. Mainly GDCC.

safe-malloc

A replacement for libGDCC aimed at simplifying mod interop/compatiblity. Performs memory allocation always starting from near the very top of the address space. Other copies of safe-malloc can coexist without issue since they're all aligned, and regular ACS mods using the same global array are very unlikely to run into any conflicts.

actorlib

A library making use of GDCC's struct properties to provide an ActorT struct that can call many functions in a more seamless way. For example:

ActorT monster = {someMonsterTID};

monster.health = 200; // calls ACS_SetActorProperty(0, APROP_Health, 200)
if(monster.height < 32.0) // calls ACS_GetActorPropertyFixed(0, APROP_Height)
{
    monster.speed = 32.0;
    monster.scaleX = monster.scaleX - 0.1;
}

It also provides a global called self, in much the same vein as QuakeC. This allows referring to the script activator without any extra definitions:

self.giveInv("Shotgun", 1);
self.health = 150;
self.viewHeight = self.height - 2.0;
