Summary0001480: Launcher option for loading Skulltag Actors and Data
DescriptionCould a option, like a checkbox, be added to the main Zandronum Launcher to also load skulltag_actors.pk3 and skulltag_data.pk3?

Also possibly have the checkbox only active (not disabled) when both files are in the Root or other WAD directories.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationI only thought of this because I've had people, who don't know much about launching with multiple wads, ask me how to also load skulltag_actors.pk3 and skulltag_data.pk3.

This is really simple option that would be nice to have for those people who have trouble with this.

Support. I'm tired of seeing threads pop up everyday that are always answered by "you need skulltag_actors and skulltag_data" and then replied to with "but how do I load them???".


Also this would help automate the loading of these 2 pk3's (incase users aren't sure if a mod needs them or not):

I would love to voice my support here, but I think it's not gonna happen. ST data were separated from Zandronum for a reason, and its usage is discouraged. Any attempt to simplify its loading is basically asking for getting it officially back into the distribution from which they were removed.

Exactly, skulltag_data and _actors are deprecated and the latter is kept for backwards compatibility reasons. Thus, closed.
