AARRRGGHH!

IT JUST WONT WORK! NO MATTER WHAT I DO!!!
Scripting that is, look at how simple I made it.

The wad is a one room wad. It has one THING, Player 1 start. The script is the shortest it could be to have an affect. It says "MOO" 2 seconds after the level is loaded.

This wad causes a PAGE FAULT WHENEVER I TRY TO RUN IT IN ZDOOM!
The script was compiled using the latest ACC, and was put into the WAD in the correct place (using wintex) as BEHAVIOR. I will email this 1 k wad to anyone who would be willing to help.

DO NOT just tell me to use WadAuthor. I have it, that program is even worse. Why can't you just open up scripts.txt or something? What's with all these crazy "things" that nature never intended?


The exact script is as follows:

#include "zcommon.acs"

script 1 OPEN
{
delay (const:2);
print (s:"MOOOO!");
}



Thanks, I REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS

I don't think there's anything wrong with the script as i tested it (pasting the script it inside wadauthor...) with both zdoom v 1.22 and the 1.23 beta 7, none of them reported any errors what so ever.

So the problem probably lies in the wad file you create, hopefully someone else can help you with that since you apparently prefer not to use wadauthor :o)

How do you just "paste it into wadauthor"?? All it ever lets me to is script a line def, a thing, or a sector. It wont actually let me write into a script file!

I read on a page (think wilman has info about it) how to setup wadauthor for use with zdoom, then you just right click outside of the map and choose script..

To set up WadAuthor to edit for ZDooM, do the following:

1. Go to this site (run by Randy Heit):

http://zdoom.notgod.com/download.shtml

2. Download the following files:

ACC 1.13 (acc113.zip)
WadAuthor Configuration files (zdoom-wauthor.zip)

3. Unzip these files into your WadAuthor directory. Reconfigure WadAuthor to read the zdoom.wcf wad configuration file (i.e., start with a fresh install of WadAuthor and follow the prompts). If you want to run a map from within WadAuthor in ZDooM, edit your Wauthor.ini file to add the following statement:

[DEBUG]
NoWARun=1

4. To create or edit a script in a map, right click outside the map boundary, select script, and create/edit away.

Note that if you have an existing map that was not created for ZDooM, you'll have to convert the map. For that, you'll need a file called zwadconv.exe, which is found in utils050999.zip (available from the site listed above).
