This article documents a Zandronum-specific special lump which may not be supported by ZDoom and its other child ports.

This article documents a special lump which is only available in development builds of Zandronum 3.2 and newer.

(development version 3.2-alpha and above only) MEDALDEF is a special lump that allows mods to create their own medals, similar to the built-in Skulltag medals. Custom medals can be awarded to players using either GivePlayerMedal or A_GivePlayerMedal.

To create or edit a medal, the following syntax can be used:

MedalName
{
   AddFlag <flag>
   RemoveFlag <flag>

   Property = "<value>";
}

All values for properties must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Flags

KEEPBETWEENLEVELS

Players are allowed to keep the medal when the level changes.

ALWAYSSHOWQUANTITY

When a player receives the medal, the quantity and only one copy of the medal's icon will always appear on the screen.

Properties

Icon

The name of the graphic that appears on the screen when the medal is awarded to a player.

ScoreboardIcon

The name of the graphic used to show the medal on the scoreboard via the DrawMedals margin command. If left unspecified, or if the graphic doesn't exist, then the Icon is used instead.

Class

Which FloatyIcon actor class to spawn over the player's head when they receive the medal. This must be specified.

LowerMedal

If a player previously earned the specified "lower" medal and it's currently being shown over their head, then receiving this medal will instantly replace it.
