Someone64 and eharper256 both shown what the problem is.

the errors that pop up is the result of a conflict with the sprite names with the champion icons and something in Guncaster. I couldn't actually find the conflicting sprites in Guncaster itself, though.

The fix for this is to simply change the name of the champion icon sprites to something that does not conflict with Guncaster.
I started this by going into the "sprites/icons" folder and changing the sprite names from "ICON##" to "MCON##", as you can see in the below screenshot:


Next, I went and found any reference to the icon sprites and changed them to match the new names I gave them.

After I had done that, it worked like a charm! I no longer got the errors in the console, and the game didn't crash! The only other hiccup I encountered is that if champions is loaded after Guncaster, it overrides Guncaster's bloodspot changes, but loading Guncaster after Champions fixed that. Here's a link to my copy which already has the changes. And here's a screenshot to show that it now does indeed work with Guncaster.

 		static const name champion_icons[] =
			{
			"ICONA0", "ICONB0", "ICONC0", 
			"ICOND0", "ICONE0", "ICONF0", 
			"ICONG0", "ICONH0", "ICONI0", 
			"ICONJ0", "ICONK0", "ICONL0", 
			"ICONM0", "ICONN0", "ICONO0",
			"ICONP0", "ICONQ0"
			};

Obviously I had no idea what caused it initially, but fortunately I quicksaved just prior to the crash, so in the third re-try I rushed around the corner to find an Archie that had just spawned. Killed it this time before it could do ressurection shenanigans. There was a dead pair of indigo shotgunners right at its feet.

	Override void WorldThingRevived(WorldEvent e)
		{
	...
		// if e.Thing is an Indigo Clone
		if(e.Thing && e.Thing.CountInv("champion_NullToken"))
			{
			e.Thing.A_SpawnItemEx("ArchvileFire");
			e.Thing.Destroy();
			}
	...

	Override void WorldThingSpawned(WorldEvent e)
		{
	...
		if(missilecolour && e.Thing is "ArchvileFire" && e.Thing.Target.CountInv("champion_PersistentInfo"))
			{
			e.Thing.A_SetRenderstyle(e.Thing.Alpha,STYLE_TRANSLUCENT);
			e.Thing.Translation = e.Thing.Target.Translation;
			e.Thing.Alpha = 0.66;
			}
	...

Sorry for bad quality, screenshotted it from a stream. Can't say how it happened exactly cause I wasn't watching at that particular moment. It was really random, though, didn't happen for over 10 maps of a slaughterwad with 1200 monsters each.

i disabled every option that has something to do with enemy or projectiles(but not enemy color) so i dont have any bugs
