defaultmap not working?

[Mini--Joe]

Code: Select all

GameInfo
{
	PlayerClasses = "Commando"
    AddEventHandlers = "ForceFieldHandler", "WoodHandler", "DirtHandler", "GrassHandler"
}

Defaultmap { aircontrol = 1 } 

This is all that is in my MAPINFO lump. I don't understand why it won't work and it's driving me frickin NUTS. I have another pk3 where the Defaultmap works perfectly, and I didn't do anything different for this one.

See https://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO/Map_definition

Sets the defaults that will be automatically used for all subsequent map definitions.

You don't have any subsequent map definitions in your MAPINFO, so there are no maps to apply your defaultmap definition to. You either have to redefine the maps one by one, or use an event handler to change Level.aircontrol. I haven't tried the latter myself, but the field is not marked readonly in gzdoom.pk3, so it should work, and if it does, I recommend doing just that because it's a more robust solution.

GameInfo
{
	PlayerClasses = "Commando"
    AddEventHandlers = "ForceFieldHandler", "WoodHandler", "DirtHandler", "GrassHandler"
}

Defaultmap { aircontrol = 1 }

map map01 "Heck" { Music = "MUSIC/RUNGHELL.mid" }

It's now this, and it is still not working.

I just copy-pasted your code (minus the gameinfo block, since I don't have your classes), and it works just fine on Doom II MAP01. If it doesn't work for you, then you probably aren't on MAP01, or something else in your mod must be messing with air control.

Ok, I also just put it into it's own pk3 and it did not work. Wtf is going on??? It works on one of my mods, but not any other?

Sorry, I can't say what's wrong unless I can see your mod. However, I won't be able to check it out until morning (it's past midnight where I am). Maybe someone else could do that, though.
