R_InstallSpriteLump: how do i fix this

[chesse20]

R_InstallSpriteLump: Bad frame characters in lump BEEPB4B was the error i got

i was trying to make a custom enemy for doom by editing an already made one and i was making progress trying to rename WASP into bee but now it isnt working

and it was working fine when i didnt have the orignal enemy running alongside it but now it isnt working even though all the textures and scripts have WASP replace with BEEP

Could you send me the wad, i wanna have a look if the sprites are named correctly.

[Bloax]

It's as simple as that the sprites don't follow the naming convention;

Code: Select all

R_InstallSpriteLump: Bad frame characters in lump BEEPB4B

Take a look here and you'll find out that the syntax is NNNNFA[FA]

"NNNN" Being the actual sprite name (like SARG/BOSS/HEAD), F being the frame (HEADH0 is the H frame of the HEAD sprite) and the "A" being the sprite angle, for which you should see the article.

Your problem is that you're probably trying to mirror the sprite from the '4' angle to the '6' angle, but you don't specify the mirrored angle. (note how it's NNNNFA[FA], the A in [FA] is what your problem is.)

so yeah you should probably fix that through some corrective renaming

also i'm pedantic as sin but who the fuck cares

[agaures]

Basically in short of what Bloax said.

You need to rename BEEPA2A to BEEPA2A8 and so on following for the other sprites.

Let me cut it down to make it simpler.
BEEP is the sprite name
A2 is the second frame of the BEEP sprite
and adding A8 makes the eighth frame the same as the second but mirrored.

You just had a random A at the end of the second frame which is invalid.

[chesse20]

i added A8 for the a frames and B8 to all the b frames and "sprite BEEP frame A is missing rotations"

[StrikerMan780]

You're still messing up the sprite names, likely an extra character.

They should be named like this, without the stuff in parenthesis of course:

BEEPA1 (Front)
BEEPA2A8 (Front Left)
BEEPA3A7 (Left)
BEEPA4A6 (Rear Left)
BEEPA5 (Rear)

BEEPB1
BEEPB2B8
BEEPB3B7
BEEPB4B6
BEEPB5
