====== Using ACSUtils ======

===== Adding ACSUtils to your project =====

  - [[https://github.com/Korshun/acsutils/releases|Download]] the latest ''acsutils-x.x.x.zip''.
  - Copy ''acsutils.acs'' into your project.
  - Include ''acsutils.acs'' after ''zcommon.acs'':

<code>
#include "zcommon.acs"
#include "acsutils.acs"
</code>

===== floor(), ceil() and round() conflicts =====

[[zdoom>floor]], [[zdoom>ceil]] and [[zdoom>round]] are ZDoom's rounding functions. They silently return 0 in Zandronum 3.0 because they are not implemented. Because of that, ACSUtils provides its own implementations of these functions that conflict with built-in ZDoom ones.

If your mod is exclusively for ZDoom, you can just remove their ACSUtils implementations from ''acsutils.acs''.

A better option is to download [[https://github.com/Korshun/zcommon|zcommon for Zandronum]]. It renames built-in ZDoom rounding functions to ''ZDoom_floor'', ''ZDoom_ceil'' and ''ZDoom_round'', and also adds the latest Zandronum functions that are not present in ACC zcommon. It doesn't remove any ZDoom functions, so it can be used for ZDoom modding.

Once Zandronum adds built-in ZDoom rounding functions, they will be removed from ACSUtils.

===== Function name conflicts =====

If your project has functions (or even variables, if you are using [[ACC]]) with the same names as ACSUtils functions, it won't compile. Rename the functions in your project to fix it. ACSUtils functions are named in a way that avoids some of the most annoying conflicts, but several renames are still needed in big projects.

If your project has functions that are already present in ACSUtils and do the same (for example, [[rounding|rounding functons]]), you can just remove them.

===== Optional enhancements =====

  - Copy ''decorate/changeflag.txt'' to your decorate and ''#include'' it to make [[ChangeFlag]] work.
  - Copy ''cvarinfo.acsutils'' to your project root to allow the server to hide [[error|ACSUtils errors]] from clients using the ''acsutils_noerrors'' cvar (it will automatically load and not conflict with your mod's CVARINFO because ZDoom ignores the extension).

===== BCC enhancements =====

If you are using [[BCC]], try [[BCSUtils]] -- a BCC-enhanced [[strict_typing|strictly typed]] version of ACSUtils with the same functions!
