Summary0001257: Some projectiles/effects halved or gravitate toward the left
DescriptionIn singleplayer with certain mods, some projectiles and effects fire differently than intended by the modder. Some projectiles that are meant to fire to my right will instead fire from the center, with its left counterpart still in the correct position. In addition, all dome explosion effects (Samsara's Spear of Destiny and Ranger Grenade/Rocket Launchers, Super Skulltag Plasma detonation) are completely halved.

However, if I am playing on a server, and an effect or projectile is not clientside (Samsara's Spear of Destiny and Ethereal Crossbow), it will behave correctly!
Steps To ReproduceNot sure how to reproduce this at all. Nobody else seems to have this problem. My only guess is that it has to do with being on a Mac?
Additional InformationI would like to note that only Samsara's Ethereal Crossbow has this problem. The original from Heretic does not.

Might have something to do with the way that negative arguments (ie degree measurements for the angle and pitch parameters of A_SpawnItemEx) are handled. But I'm not sure how that would differ in the Mac build as compared to the Windows and Linux builds.

Does it happen in 2.0?

Still the same in Zandronum 2.0 Alpha-140112-1124.

I recently posted a ticket for A_CustomMissile specifically (example included):

The issue I posted above covers the customMissile functions, but I've made an example that focuses on A_SpawnItemEx:
'https://www.dropbox.com/s/tvtqtdz20xr5zfn/BorkedSpawnItemEx.pk3 [^]'

The Pistol primary creates a ball in front of you as long as you hold the trigger. Altfire does the exact same thing, but both the spawning and the projectile itself are clientsided.

Online, the primary fire works as intended, but altfire spawns way off to the right (the screenshots below are of primary and altfire, respectively). Offline, both triggers appear as in the second screenshot.
