Stop using Skulltag, seriously it's old, outdated and doesn't support many features. WHY would you want to stick to such an old and terrible port when there's 100x better alternatives around?

I'm not sure if you understood but, converting modern enemies to Skulltag is infinitely harder than just copy-pasting all of the files into your .pk3 or .wad file as it works in Zandronum.

There's many missing functions that would make you use ugly workarounds that can cause more issues and even massive slowdown depending on how it has to be done. Not to mention, hand-made workarounds also mean that you will need to carefully code it so that playing online doesn't desync or lag too much. I definitely don't have the patience for that.

That doesn't make much sense, what mistake did you do? I assure you all mistakes you have made in Zandronum can easily happen in Skulltag, and likely even worse too.

In fact, working with Zandronum is way easier, because with the current version of the UDMF format, you can easily make slopes, 3D floors and many other effects very easily.
In Skulltag, there's no 3D floor rendering in software mode, so people using software mode can't see 3D floors. Also in Skulltag, making slopes is harder, as all the slope things are very confusing, in Zandro's UDMF, you can just use the "Slopes" section in GZDoom Builder and make a slope with help from the editor.
And if you run into a bug that causes seemingly good behavior but has been since fixed in Zandronum, it means that your map will not be playable online at all. That's only a small taste of how the rest of working with Skulltag would be.

Again, there's no reason at all to use Skulltag instead of Zandronum, it has ZERO benefits. The GL renderer is slower, the playsim is also slower, it has way less editing features, it's no longer updated, it doesn't have a master server anymore, it's full of bugs (compared to current Zandro anyways). Literally the ONLY reason you should still use Skulltag is if you are running it on a Wii or a Raspberry Pi 1 or something as slow and underpowered as that, otherwise there's no reason.

Stop sticking to an old port that doesn't have anything over a more updated version of one. Unless you switch to Zandronum, you can be sure that at least i won't help you and probably most other people won't either, Because they wouldn't like to dick around with an old sourceport full of issues just because someone can't get over the fact it's old and outdated.

Alright then, you can ask as much help from me as you need. Mostly with DECORATE and ACS, but i can help a bit with mapping too.

Fixed to work with Zandronum. It doesn't work the exact same way as in GZDoom because unfortunately the +FLATSPRITE flag doesn't exist yet in Zandronum, but everything else should be identical and i also took care it ran very well online.

There's the file.
