Can't load any pwads on Zandronum

Post by Franciscop98 » Mon Jul 18, 2016 11:15 pm

Hi, I'm a newb here but my problem isn't a newb problem. You see, I discovered this whole Doom comunity well after Skulltag was dead, wich eventually led me to Zandronum, but my problem is with every non iwad I try to load with Zandronum. I had a bunch of them, and played them normally. Then I saw HDoom (Don't look it up if your not 18+) wich asked for GZDoom or Zandronum 3.0, wich I didn't have. Since I didn't wanted to change to Zdoom, I installed Zandronum 3.0, and everything went just fine, and I almost finished HDoom, actually, but after organizing a .wads file (For the junk), Having a saved Zandronum 2.1.2 for multiplayer, since people don't update to 3.0, and a second file for Hdoom saves, dragging wads wasn't working anymore. After a few days of reinstalling and messing around, now double clicking doesn't work anymore either. I get a fatal error:

OS: Windows XP (NT 5.1) Build 2600
Service Pack 2
M_LoadDefaults: Load system defaults.
Using program directory for storage

Execution could not continue.

Failed to allocate -1 bytes from process heap

That... Doesn't make sense. It failed to allocate minus 1 byte? What????
And now not even Zandronum 2.1.2 reads my wads. I can't read wads. Period. (But I can run Zandronum with no aditional wads)
Here are some screenshots:

Zandronum error 2 Short.png
Zandronum error 3 Short.png
If anyone knows what's happening or what am I doing wrong, please help me out, thanks.

Can you still load pwads if you start Zandronum with Doomseeker?

You don't need to delete Brutal Doom, but you do need to remove it from your skins folder or else you can't play anything but Brutal Doom. In Doomseeker, right next to the Get Servers button, is the Create Game button. With that, you can easily set up a single-player game, and then click Play Offline. You can also use Doomseeker to browse and join servers. It will find and install any file you need for the server.
