Ammo Types Work with Gzdoom Launcher; Don't With DB Launcher

[ReedtheStrange]

Certain ammo types work when launched normally, but not when launched with Doom Builder. This is strange because the only thing I've changed about the ones that aren't working are numerical values, name and number. I have no idea how this could even be logical. For example, picking up clips will give you pistol rounds but picking up shotgun shell boxes will not. Even more strange, if given a name like "TNT" that the Gzdoom/Zdoom launcher will recognize, this problem will not pursue and will only happen when launched from Doom Builder 2.






WAD:

I was going to take a look at the wad to see if there was anything odd, then I noticed it was 145MB.
It would be a good idea to try and replicate the problem in a stripped-down version.

I've been working on the WAD for over a year . Strangely, the pistol rounds don't pick up either now that I've stripped it, which didn't happen before. This is really baffling. The even stranger part is that it works with the normal launcher and it works when I launch it in Doom Builder through a different WAD, such as Heretic or Plutonia.

I'll try to get it up, but Mediafire is being unusually slow for me for some reason. Until then, here's the code:

Here's the WAD with the problem repeated:

http://www.mediafire.com/?zv3uab90e9upk9i

[Graf Zahl]

The WAD is of no use. If it doesn't work from Doom Builder it most likely means that either some things aren't loaded or are loaded in an incorrect order.

And no, I won't download a 145MB file. You should strip it down by removing content that isn't needed to reproduce the problem. If that can't be done, at least zip it to reduce its size.

[Blue Shadow]

I gave this a test a while back, but couldn't produce/didn't run into the issues the OP was having.

See here. Maybe you might figure out something I've missed.

[Graf Zahl]

Well, ok...

Whatever this is, I'd file it under 'Not ZDoom' or 'User error'. Not much to be done here. I guess it's a case of loading a file from the wrong path.
