+====== Using ACSUtils ======
 ===== Upgrading the compiler =====
-You **must** upgrade your ACS compiler to use ACSUtils as the official ACC 1.55 release can't compile files with more than 256 functions (ACSUtils has 400). Use one of the following:

-===== Using ACSUtils =====
+===== Adding ACSUtils to your project =====
-  - Download [[https://github.com/Korshun/acsutils/releases|the latest release]].
+  - Download [[https://github.com/Korshun/acsutils/releases/download/1.6.1/acsutils-1.6.1.zip|the latest release]].
   - Add ''acsutils.acs'' to your project.
-  - Use the code below to include ACSUtils into your project:
+  - Include ''acsutils.acs'' after ''zcommon.acs'':
 <code>
-#library "project"
-// ACSUtils settings:
-#define ACSUTILS_HUDLIB_SAVEDSTATES 16
-#define TIDALLOCSTART 15000
-// Includes:
 #include "zcommon.acs"
 #include "acsutils.acs"
+</code>
-// Your project's error handler (you can put it anywhere you want, in a different file, even):
+===== Things to note =====
-function void ACSUtilsErrorHandler(int type, int message)
-{
-	Log(s:"error: ", s:message);
-	printbold(s:"error: ", s:message);
-}
-// Your project's code follows.
+If your project has functions (or 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 to avoid some of the most annoying conflicts, but it still needs several renames in some big projects.
-</code>
+===== Optional enhancements =====
+  - Copy ''decorate/changeflag.txt'' to your decorate and ''#include'' it to make [[functions:ChangeFlag]] and [[functions:ChangeActorFlag]] work.
+  - Copy ''cvarinfo.acsutils'' to your project root to allow the server to hide ACSUtils errors 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 version of ACSUtils with the same functions!
-If you are making a mod for Zandronum, don't forget that you can [[.namedscripts|name your scripts too]].
