Mod Consuming too much RAM?

[Guest]

I'm making a companion mod based on the doomguy companion template by NeenerWiener. I keep getting the C0000005 Access Violation Error really oftenly when trying to start a map.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Method 1:
1.Launch gzdoom with my mod.
2.Start a doom 2/an episode of doom 1
3.Close gzdoom once a map is loaded
4.Enter again(with the mod) and select the same episode and skill as the last time.

Method 2:
1.Launch gzdoom with my mod + brutal doom v21
2.load any map on any skill

Method 3:
1.Start gzdoom with my mod.
2. Select any episode and skill
3.play a few levels.

crash log: https://mega.nz/file/YdFVEZLR#KP-ZYiKJg ... _BJtRKcfr8
RAM: 8gb

I was getting the same issue in gzdoom 4.88, gzdoom 4.9, and lzdoom 3.88b.

Everything's pointing on huge ram usage. Possibly because of large (Around 280x810) Sprites.

Post you mod. 210x810 is not big. 2k or 4k would be big, but not what you mentioned.

I've take a look to your mod in SLADE before testing, and here's the things you may improve :

ACS : BLANKALLY.o is a graphic. It must be a Compiled ACS (ZDoom).
Decorate : For Powerup.Duration, a negative duration convert the time in tics (1/35 of a second) by seconds, not for values like 0x7FFFFFFF or 0x7FFFFFFD.
ZMapInfo : You don't have to put the definition AddEventHandlers twice, you can add them one after the other like so :

Code: Select all

GameInfo
{
	AddEventHandlers = "MonikaSpawnHandler", "MonikaTauntHandler"
}

I just have 4GB of ram and the mod works fine after I've edited him.

ACS : BLANKALLY.o is a graphic. It must be a Compiled ACS (ZDoom).

Then, what should i do with the graphic? WIll it be safe to replace it with the compiled acs? i've taken a look at it, it looks like some sort of color pallette, so i'm unsure of what to do with it

nvm, i think i'll test it out myself

Yup, it worked, thank you all for helping me.

If you havent put in the graphic, just delete it. Since it's in wrong place, the engine already ignores it.
