Weird problems with UDB, Gzdoom... or both of them

[wereabbit]

Hello,
I'm working on a big mag for Heretic, and i have some problems.
First, a screnn of my map :

... and now, the explication of the bugs.
Sometime, when i lauch my map, a weapon (the firemace) appears

... or not


There is another bug, and i don't know if i come from UDB or Gzdoom
Sometime, if i split a little sector and lauch the game, Gzdoom freeze.
If i "ctrl-z" and relauch the map, Gzdoom start normally.

Any explications to solve this problem.

The reason why the firemace isn't spawning all the time is because it's made to be that way:
Contrarily to most other weapons, it cannot be placed directly on a map; instead one or several MaceSpawner things are placed, and there is a ~75% chance that a firemace will appear on a randomly-selected MaceSpawner.
Taken from the ZDoom wiki.

You would have to create a new item in DECORATE which would give the mace on pickup and always spawn.

Yes, the firemace has always been like that. It's a weird one. Messed me up when I made a TC for Heretic many years ago.

You do not need DECORATE for that, just giving the real item an editor number in MAPINFO will do the trick.

Ah, ok ! thanks for the answer ^^

How can i do that ?
Here's the MAPINFO of my map :

Code: Select all

map E2M1 "RANDOM"
{
levelnum = 1
titlepatch  = "CWILV00"
next = "MAP02"
sky1 = SKY1 0
cluster = 5
par = 30
music  = D_RUNNIN
fade = "198 128 0"
outsidefog = "198 128 0"
fogdensity = 255
skyfog = 255

}

and what about my second problem?

It was told many times. If you have unrelated issues, report them in different topics.
Moreover, nobody can tell you anything meaningful without the level that freezes GZDoom.
