I noticed a problem. A script spawns a projectile which hits a projectile activated line and should start another script. This used to work, but doesn't any more. It seems to me like it should be a Zdoom related issue, rather than a GZdoom one but r1412 works (perhaps it was a Zdoom bug which has since been fixed).

Anyway, to see the effect, push the big barrels under the doors to stop them closing fully, then hit the switch. This will release a projectile that travels along the corridor and hits the blue circle at the end. When it does so, the exit should open. It does in older GZdooms and in Zdoom but not in r297.

This looks like a MAPINFO related problem that indeed has been fixed in the mean time. I currently can't update GZDoom so it will have to wait a few days.

No worries. I was just sorting out some old test files on my web space and noticed that this one didn't work anymore so I thought I'd better report it just in case.
