Brutal Doom Bug on GZDoom Thread

On dragging BD20b on GZDoom (to date latest is gzdoom-g2.2pre-797-g7134f53 - March, 2016), I get the below script error:

Script error, "brutalv20b.pk3:blood.txt" line 610:
Expected ',', got 'l'.

Both GZDoom and ZDoom threads point to a code bug in BD as listed here:
GZDoom Thread
ZDoom Thread

I have this problem too and it sucks

Had the same problem. Try the 64-bit release.

Forum.drdteam.org

Yes, VonZippenstein, using the 64-bit release gets the job done.

I was experimenting with the latest test-release and could not get Brutal Doom to work, which is what prompted me to start this thread.

Use the old values from v19. Open up brutalv20b.pk3 in something like 7zip or Winrar. Open blood.txt.

Find this area of code:

{
Spawn:
BPDL A 1
TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem ("DripingBloodLeavesSmallPool")
TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem ("CeilBloodTinyBloodSpawner")
BPDL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 2 ThrustThingZ(0,300,0,1)

BPDL AAAAAAAAA 1 A_FadeOut(0.l)
stop
}
}
actor CeilBloodSpotLarge: CeilBloodSpot
{
states
{
Spawn:
Goto Crash
Death:
Crash:
BPDL A 1
TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem ("DripingBloodLeavesSmallPool")

BPDL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 2 ThrustThingZ(0,300,0,1)

BPDL AAAAAAAAA 1 A_FadeOut(0.l)
stop

}

And change it to

{

TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem ("CeilBloodTinyBloodSpawner")
BPDL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 2 ThrustThingZ(0,300,0,1)

BPDL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 2 ThrustThingZ(0,300,0,1)
BPDL AAAAAAAAA 1 A_FadeOut(0.01)
stop
}
}
actor CeilBloodSpotLarge: CeilBloodSpot
{

{
Spawn:

Death:

}
}

Now you can continue using the developer builds until something else goes wrong.

It worked!

Cheers!

Didn't know that .pk3 = .zip

Sure thing! I'm glad that worked for you. I figured the old values from v19 would probably be close enough to give you the same visual experience.

If you care to know, the issue was caused by the old parser accepting different floating point values. You can read about the change here: Zdoom.org

It changed nothing.

Why the fuck do we have to do this? Mark, I love Brutal Doom and can't wait for Brutal Doom 64, but this is pathetic.
Fix your mod and re-upload it.

It works perfectly

BPDL AAAAAAAAA 1 A_FadeOut(0.l)

Looking at the lines that needed to be changed, it seems that an l was typed instead of a 1. The highlighting by ModDB showed it clearly. Classic mistake! Changing the values to 0.1 (probably as they were intended) fixed it for me, no need to use the old values.

Edited by: AlexNitro44

Actually, l is used to signify a long double, which the support for was removed (http://zdoom.org/Changelog/aec6aff7a82cb78f98f0c531dfe45b99161f5679/files). I recommended the old values because I don't think .1 is how the mod was intended to display the blood drips, but you're correct in that it will make the mod work if you replace l with any number.

I also quoted the whole section so it could be a simple copy and replace instead of having to look for the specific line where it's at, but either method works.

I'm struggling to get the above fix to work on the OSX version of GZDoom / Brutal Doom. Could anyone upload a fixed copy of the .pk3 file somewhere please?

thx for the tip

Only because I'm nice: Gam.thewaitingroom.org

thx, works for me. but i really had to copy/paste the complete code - only changing the "l" to "1" or "3" gave me the line 610 error again! uh, and the downloaded pk3 from your link above was not fixed, at least by my side!

honestly, screw it. I shouldn't have to edit damn code. I'll just play project brutality since I heard the bug isn't in there.

That was my bad. Give it a try again, if you wouldn't mind.

Meaning no offence, if you are using a devbuild of GZDoom, it shouldn't be expected that everything will work perfectly. Nor should it be expected of mod authors to fully support devbuilds when they're making mods for stable versions.

The following error may be related and since you solved my issue the first time, I thought of asking again for some workaround.

On adding: ketchupV5_nogibs_splattersonly.pk3 I get the below error:

Any thoughts? And thank you!

Execution could not continue.

Script error, "ketchupV5_nogibs_splattersonly.pk3:decorate.blood.txt" line 545:

For sure! It's the same issue of using a long double which is no longer supported. But I've got you covered.

KetchupV5
KetchupV5 (No Gibs, Splatters Only)

Once again, using the old values of previous Brutal Doom versions. I checked both PK3s to make sure the latest GZDoom devbuild launched.

Worked like a charm! You're fabulous, girl! Thank you

Of course! Anytime!

I have a similar error. This is what comes up. Seems to be an error with the Impshield.txt (I think). Can someone please suggest a solution?

I also had this problem, then I downloaded the fixed PK3 file from above and worked thanks guys

I'm glad to hear it worked, Scadden! Did you try my PK3, stevenanderson666?
