What is this?
ACS.NET is an ACS library for Zandronum where I've implemented some functions that are similar to those in the .NET Framework.
Of course there is more than just .NET Framework functions, this is a library with a bunch of useful functions for ACS.
Well, I guess the above explains it pretty much...
So here are the functions currently available:

FalsePart: The integer returned if Expression equals to False.
Example usage: IIf_Int(5 > 3, 65536, 32768);
Example returns: 65536
..
Why?:
5 is greater than 3. That's why the function returns the TruePart, which is 65536.Spoiler: IIf_Str (Open)-- IIf_Str --

..
Why?:
1st: 5 is greater than 3. That's why the function returns the TruePart, which is "This is correct".
2nd: The string "Hello" is not equal to "There".
That's why the function returns the FalsePart, which is "This is incorrect".Spoiler: IIf_Bool (Open)-- IIf_Bool --

Checks wether an expression equals to False.
Expression: The expression to check.
Example usage: IsFalse(5 < 3);
Example returns: True
..
Why?:
The function returns True because it's correct that 5 is not less than 3.Spoiler: IsNot_Int (Open)-- IsNot_Int --

Returns True if they aren't.
Int1: The first integer to check with the other.

Str1: The first string to check with the other.
Str2: The second string to check with the first.
Example usage: IsNot_Str("Hello", "Hello");
Example returns: False
..
Why?:
The function returns False because Str1 IS ACTUALLY equal to Str2.Spoiler: Math_Factorial (Open)-- Math_Factorial --
Calculate the factorial of a number.
number: The number to use for the calculation.
Example usage: Math_Factorial(6);
Example returns: 720
..
Why?:
Math_Factorial(6) = 720 because 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720.Spoiler: Math_Hypotenuse (Open)-- Math_Hypotenuse --
Calculate the hypotenuse of a triangle.
side1: The first side of the triangle.
side2: The second side of the triangle.
Example usage: Math_Hypotenuse(5, 8);

..
Why?:
The square root of 5^2 + 8^2 equals the
sqaure root of 25 + 64 which equals to 9,433981132056604.
And because Doom rounds the number down, it's rounded to 9.Spoiler: Math_TriangleSide (Open)-- Math_TriangleSide --
Calculate one side of a triangle using it's hypotenuse
and the other side.
Hypotenuse: The triangle's hypotenuse.
side1: One side of the triangle.
Example usage: Math_TriangleSide(9, 8);
Example returns: 5Spoiler: Math_AreaOfCircle (Open)-- Math_AreaOfCircle --
Calculate the area of a circle.
Originally, this function gets overloaded when
using a radius greater than 102.
In order to prevent this, the function will
automatically use PI as 3 instead for numbers
greater than 102.
Radius: The radius of the circle.
Example usage: Math_AreaOfCircle(5);
Example returns: 78
..
Why?:
The area of a circle is calculated (r^2) * PI.
And because Doom rounds it's numbers down,
3,14159265358979323846 * 25 = 78,5398163397448309615 (rounded to: 78)Spoiler: Math_VolumeOfSphere (Open)-- Math_VolumeOfSphere --
Calculate the volume of a sphere.
Originally, this function easily got overloaded.
To prevent this from happening, it automatically calculates
the volume using PI as 3, instead of
the fixed point 3.14159265358979323846, for numbers over 13.
Radius: The radius of the sphere.
Example usage: Math_VolumeOfSphere(5);
Example returns: 523
..
Why?:
The volume of a sphere is calculated ((r^3) * (4*PI)) / 3.
And because Doom rounds it's numbers down,
(12,56637061435917295384 * 125) / 3 = 523,59877559829887307666666666667 (rounded to: 523)Spoiler: PlayerName (Open)-- PlayerName --
Returns the name of the specified player.
number: The number of the player which's name to get.
--- Constants/macros (#Define, #LibDefine) ---Spoiler: Math_PI (Open)-- Math_PI --
Math's PI as fixed point.Spoiler: Math_e (Open)-- Math_e --
Math's e as fixed point.Spoiler: IntegerMaxValue (Open)-- IntegerMaxValue --
The maximum possible value of an Integer.Spoiler: IntegerMinValue (Open)-- IntegerMinValue --
The minimum possible value of an Integer.Spoiler: From v1.2.2 and up (Open)Spoiler: ParseInt (Open)-- ParseInt --
Parse (convert) an integer out of a string.
WARNING:
The input MUST be of type String (Str).
If the input is of type Integer (Int) and the
integer is too big, it will cause the game to crash!
InputString: The string to parse to integer.
Example usage: ParseInt("32767");
Example returns: 32767 (as Int)Spoiler: From v1.2.3 and up (Open)Spoiler: ParseFloat (Open)-- ParseFloat --
Parse (convert) a string to fixed point.
WARNING:
The input MUST be of type String (Str).
If the input is of type Integer/Fixed point (Int) and
it's too big, it will cause the game to crash!
InputString: The string to parse to fixed point.
Example usage: ParseFloat("1.375");
Example returns: 1.375 (or 90112 as a normal Int)
INTEGRAL MAX INPUT: 32767
FRACTIONAL MAX INPUT: .32767
-> This means that the largest parsable
fixed point is 32767.32767, or else it
will overflow.
Ex: 32800.0 will overflow, 3.45849 will overflow.Spoiler: From v1.2.4 and up (Open)Spoiler: Math_Abs (Open)-- Math_Abs --
Return the absolute value of a negative integer.
Example usage: Math_Abs(-32);
Example returns: 32
2nd Example usage: Math_Abs(135);
2nd Example returns: 135
Case sensitivity
Sadly all find/replace functions are case sensitive, which means that when for example searching for the string "wood" in "woodchuck", "wood" must have the same casing as the "wood" in "woodchuck". So for example "Wood" or "WOOD" or "WooD" won't match.
Also note that most of the search/replace functions are capable of finding whole strings and not just characters (letters)!

Changelog
v1.2.4
* Fixed so that ParseInt and ParseFloat supports parsing of negative numbers.
* Included Math_Abs with the library (required for ParseFloat to work).
v1.2.3
* Added a ParseFloat function to parse strings to fixed point!
v1.2.2
* Fixed bugs with StringReplace and StringSubstring. (I.e StringReplace won't replace text if it's in the very end of the string)
* Added a ParseInt function to parse/convert strings to integers!
v1.2.1:
* Removed the Math_PI, Math_e, IntegerMinValue, IntegerMaxValue functions and replaced them with macros. (#LibDefine)
Note that the macros still have the same name as the functions. :)
v1.2.0:
* Added tons of new functions!
(Check the function list above, under "v1.2.0 and up")
