Error Code C0000005

[Noknowledgesmodder]

I am developing my own mod. Whenever I run it, it displays the fatal error. This is the only mod of mine that does this. I don't believe I coded something, however this is my first time coding a PK3. I also don't have finished sprites as well. I am running Windows 11 and running a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, Intel i-7-147004, and my RAM doesn't seem to be the issue. My GZDOOM version is G4.15pre-569-gdadfade12. I'll attach the crash report but the PK3 is too big to attach at 480 KB

That's Intel speak for a buffer overrun or something like that. Something about the mod is causing the engine to access the computer's memory badly in a way the zscript or decorate parser cannot detect or maybe loading a bad WAD. I found the other day that passing a literal "" to -file causes the runtime to abort, at least on Linux. Although the devs can put in safety checks on load, a mod still has to do its part.

Why not upload the PK3 to a dropbox so the community can have a look at it?

I started the latest UZDoom with it and it found two issues:

Code: Select all

Texman.Init: Init texture manager.
IInvalid data encountered for texture crimerunners.pk3:sprites/weapons/lcp/longp
ParseTeamInfo: Load team definitions.
LoadActors: Load actor definitions.
GScript error, "crimerunners.pk3:scripts/spwnr"G line 121:
GUnexpected end of file
Expecting ';' or ','


Execution could not continue.
1 errors while parsing crimerunners.pk3:zscript

The actor in question is:

Code: Select all

Class AmmoboxSpawner : RandomSpawner
{
	Default
	{
	DropItem "
	}
}

Since you're on an old GZDoom with, presumably, inferior error handling, the script parser probably tries to read past EOF and ${DEMON} alone knows where it ended up.

The invalid data for the "texture" longp is because LONGP is actually a ZScript file and not a sprite; it defines the Contender class. This class isn't referenced by anything; maybe a stray file left from early development? In any case it shouldn't be in the Sprites folder, as only images should go in there.

UZDoom also reported another couple of issues:

Code: Select all

Undefined drop item class BOLTGUN referenced from actor HeavySpawner
Undefined drop item class AKMag referenced from actor ClipSpawner

Looking through the code, I think the second one should be "AKAmmo", as it calls itself AKMag in the pickup text.
I also think the BOLTGUN should be SniperGun given the filename for the sniper gun.

So please fix the AmmoboxSpawner as that is likely the cause of the trouble.

The game also warns that the classes 'easy' 'Medium' 'Hard' don't exist. This is because the MAPINFO specifies them, but only 'new' is included via the ZScript file. These three are all copies of Easy so was this an early development thing that got overlooked?

Perhaps the best advice I can give for tracking down issues is make the filename of every class file the exact name, case included, of the main class it defines; we're not on DOS now, there's no filename length limit like the bad old days. Do this consistently. It avoids misremembering the filename for a class or, worse still, the class stored in a file.

Finally, please consider to upgrading to a better GZDoom. Or just switch to UZDoom like everyone and their cat has

An excellent analysis by Martin Howe.

My GZDOOM version is G4.15pre-569-gdadfade12.

The gzdoom-x64-g4.15pre builds are just experimental and taken with a grain of salt.
I would recommend GZDoom 4.14.2 or better still UZDoom 4.14.3

As to ZSCRIPT, it can be rather tricky, there is so much to learn
Luckily there are many guides to help out

Thank you very much

Looks like the wrong ZScript sneaked in there. That's for Maxon ZBrush.

OOPS, I was not loking too closely at ZSCRIPT vs ZScripting.
