How to use #nocompact ??

[SPZ1]

Well I was updating zspecial.acs with 275:Floor_Stop() and 276:Ceiling_Stop() when I got the message:

---

Code: Select all • Expand view

This is version 1.55 (Feb  5 2016)

**** ERROR ****
Line 117 in file "MAP01.acs" ...
MAP01.acs:117: Line specials with values higher than 255 require #nocompact.
>  Ceiling_Stop(4);
>                 ^
MAP01.acs:118: Line specials with values higher than 255 require #nocompact.
>  Floor_Stop(4);
>               ^


How can I solve this ??

What program did you use to compile the script?
Which mapping format did you use?
Which version of ACC.EXE are you using?

To find out, Shift+RMB in the folder and click to open the command window

then append acc.exe -h

Instead of us having to guess, you might as well upload the map.

Then there is the WIKI to explain the context of #nocompact:
https://zdoom.org/wiki/Directive
https://zdoom.org/wiki/BEHAVIOR

To update zcommon.acs, zdefs.acs, zspecial.acs, zwvars.acs to the latest state run UPDATEACS and replace the old files

What program did you use to compile the script?

I used ACC for Windows 1.55 from https://zdoom.org/downloads as this is the only ACC I know of.

Which mapping format did you use?

This question is irrelevant since I've been compiling with a .BAT file in the Windows shell but if you must know.. I use GZDoom (Doom in Hexen mode).

Which version of ACC.EXE are you using?

If you would have checked the spoiler in my post, you would have seen I've been using version 1.55

Instead of us having to guess, you might as well upload the map.

Sorry, I'm not uploading my secret project as it is irrelevant to my compiling with batch files in the Windows shell and importing the object file with SLADE

[Kappes Buur]

Well, you don't seem to accept help graciously, even when a question may be redundant.
All I will tell you is, that Floor_Stop works perfectly, on a linedef or in a script.

Good luck with your project.

I think the problem is usage of 'const:'. This is essentially deprecated for ZDoom ACS.

[SPZ1]

All I did was add these two lines to zspecial.acs:

Code: Select all • Expand view

   275:Floor_Stop(1),
   276:Ceiling_Stop(1),

Check it out for yourself !

Try the ACC package from here, the one at the top. It's newer than the one on the ZDoom site.

[Graf Zahl]

Yeah, the ACC download link really needs an update.

Considering ACC hasn't had an official release for a long time now, I just went ahead and did a git version. I asked Randi about the possibility of transferring the repo, or at least doing additional invites to make it easier to do releases.

This works splendidly! Not only did it compile but Floor/Ceiling_Stop works as well. Thank you!
