【Suggestion】core_GetActorArg Special activator
These two methods will not treat tid as "activator" when it is set to 0, due to how GiveActorInventory considers that as "give to all players"
I think tid = 0 for fetching activator's arg / special is more natural

script "core_GetActorArg" (int tid, int argNum)
{
GiveActorInventory(tid, StrParam(s:"GetArg", i:argNum), 1);
SetResultValue(argHold);
}
script "core_GetActorSpecial" (int tid)
{
GiveActorInventory(tid, "GetSpecial", 1);
SetResultValue(argHold);
}

【Bug】core_preciseDamage ignores event result
The "core_preciseDamage" script ignores previous changes made to the hook context's result value, if the inflictor uses preciseDamage system.
Here is a reproduction example :
Download
This mod adds a DTADD_HF_ACTOR_DAMAGED hook doubling all damage,
and replaces the mega buster's megaShot damage (10) by :
- Every vanilla attack properly deal 2x damage (because they don't use precise system)
- The mega shot however, still does 10 damage
Current workaround is to either 1) not use precise system or 2) move damage alteration scripts to a priority under -15000.0

【Suggestion】Decimal damage formula hook
Damage buff/reduction should apply regardless of preciseDamage flag on inflictor, currently the vanilla decimal system can't be accessed in the case a projectile doesn't have the flag

【Suggestion】Decimal damage formula hook
V6C added `preciseDamage` to allow decimal amount of damage in DECORATE and store the remainder, which is very noticeable on very low damage/multi hitting attacks and is nice.
Though currently, modders can't add their damage calculation logic in `core_preciseDamage`, and so have to make another decimal tracking system on their own.
Consider :
Mod A and B receive from DamageHook_GetEventResult the non-fixed damage ; it would be nice if core_preciseDamage had a hook to let modders add their math logic in the decimal damage calculation step
Though currently, modders can't add their damage calculation logic in `core_preciseDamage`, and so have to make another decimal tracking system on their own.
Consider :
- Inflictor : a damage (4.2 * FIXED) projectile, with preciseDamage / storeRemainder
- Mod A : Victim has a x0.8 damage reduction powerup
- Mod B : Victim has a x1.5 damage vulnerability debuff
- Expected damage : 4.2 * 0.8 * 1.5 = 5 (with +0.04 remainder on next hit)
Mod A and B receive from DamageHook_GetEventResult the non-fixed damage ; it would be nice if core_preciseDamage had a hook to let modders add their math logic in the decimal damage calculation step

MegaUI : a Zandronum UI library
v2.0.0 released
As a major change, you can now split the big callback script into several, for each mouse area and event type.
This results in more flexible code to move around / better code maintenance.

A light tool I personally needed to make drawing and implementing UIs more easily and faster.
And also, lets you do mouse-controlled menus.

REVAMPED MM8BDM Text Color Guide
Took the liberty to rescan text colors using v6c's font (seen in UIX), freshly screenshoted from bombman sky
Base colors
New text colors - A0 => Z9
New text colors - 00 => 99
New text colors misc
Crayon
UIX must be loaded / will be included in 8BDM v6c
It seems to represent the 0-255 MM8BDM PLAYPAL palette

[Suggestion] Weapon Training room info on a button
Historically this was added in Xover because the XoverWeps used to not be accessible in training, so there was no in-game way to get information on how they work
Some weapons are not always easy to figure out or have not-so-visible conditional effects, for that I think adding a optional keybind for this in vanilla would be beneficial.
EDIT : in some mods with different gameplay it could even be used as a tutorial button instead of the "F1 Help menu"
