ACS Not Compiling

[BloodyAcid]

I was working on some scripts, and had to change the order, so I renumbered the scripts and changed all the actions. However, upon starting Zandronum, I got a script error.

I went back to edit the script

Code: Select all

script 1 OPEN
{
    delay(35);
    Print(s:\cfMAP01);
    Delay(35);
    Print(S:\cfThe only easy map);
}

Recompiled without errors and then went to test. Still, nothing worked.

Then, I tried

Code: Select all

Script 1 OPEN
adfnkmpaslmdpaskmd[sad
daosndokaskasnd
h

...and I STILL compiled without errors.

Any help? I've reinstalled DB2 and tried updating it, but nothing worked.

..wow.
What does Zandronum say when it gives the error?

Unknown Script #

It's probably because your message script is wrong. From what I see, you're using "Print(s: \cfMap01);" And that is probably causing the issue.
You want to be using Hudmessage for something like this, heres an example taken from the ZDoom wiki.
[spoiler]script 02 (void)
{
SetFont("PICTURE");
HudMessage(s:"A"; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 0, 0, 0.1, 0.8, 3.7);
}[/spoiler]

Heres the link if you want to reference more. http://zdoom.org/wiki/HudMessage

[BloodyAcid]

I've tried it for several other different types of scripts too. Using HUDMessage yields the same result too. Also, no I am NOT missing #include "zcommon.acs"

It's the same problem as: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/doom-editin ... n-zdoomwa/

Except I don't have a WARUN.exe

[Reaku]

I never encountered something like this before... if you can, write the script in SLumpEd, see that makes any difference, it usually tells if a script is correct or not.

[BloodyAcid]

I've never touched SlumpED before, as I use XWE and Slade... I tried completely scrapping DB and reinstalling while grabbing the latest ACC from ZDoom (151), but it still doesn't work.

[Reaku]

I would try SlumpEd if you could, because it tells you script errors when you compile it and it's really helpful for writing out scripts you aren't sure with.

[Watermelon]

Aren't you missing quotation marks?
This should work:

Code: Select all

script 1 OPEN
{
    delay(35);
    Print(s: "\cfMAP01");
    Delay(35);
    Print(s: "\cfThe only easy map");
}

Get the latest ACC and try it out --> DRD team

[Ijon Tichy]

http://svn.drdteam.org/ACC/ACC-r3428.zip

this is the only build of ACC on the DRD site, so why not just link to it directly

Because you did it for me

Makes no difference to my problem. I'm still typing in gibberish, and DB recognizes it as a completely legitimate code.

Is it possible to share the WAD?

[BloodyAcid]

I made a new map (Skulltag, Doom in Hexen). Square + Player.

From this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS4g_Powors

I have to make a new -> Skulltag ACS script first

Do it from the command line with the acc.exe from the link provided to you and tell us what happens.

I opened the map in Doom Builder 2 and just tried to compile the ACS. It gave me an error on the missing semicolon. Once I fixed that and tested the map, the script worked correctly.

Could it be that something happened to the acc.exe that DB2 uses?

[StrikerMan780]

Try this:

Code: Select all

#include "zcommon.acs"
// ^ This line is important!
script 1 OPEN
{
    delay(35);
    Print(s:"\cfMAP01");
    Delay(35);
    Print(S:"\cfThe only easy map");
}

And if that doesn't work, try this:

Code: Select all

#include "zcommon.acs"
// ^ This line is important!
script 1 ENTER
{
    delay(35);
    Print(s:"\cfMAP01");
    Delay(35);
    Print(S:"\cfThe only easy map");
}

I've already tried the updated ACC that Ijon Tichy provided.

<Code>

Maybe I should just edit the first post. It has absolutely nothing to do with my script. I merely forgot to paste that section. My problem lies with DoomBuilder recognizing shit as code.
------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I've got something working. I made my scripts, dragged and dropped it into acc.exe, and it spat out a .o file. I imported it into Slade and renamed it as BEHAVIOR. Then it worked. Now that my problem is partially solved, I know that my problem lies with DB2, and its inability to use acc.exe

[StrikerMan780]

Are you running Windows Vista or 7? Run DB2 as administrator.

[BloodyAcid]

Hmm, I get this error now: Compiler "skulltag_acc" is defined more than once. The first definition in acc.cfg will be used.

Also, running DB2 (on Vista) as Admin made no difference to my problem.
