ACS Libraries in .94

Post by *Viper* »

Has anyone used a library in 94 yet? I have tried, but always come up with a crash right when the level is about to start.

I have basically use two blank acs files, one with the library command, and the other with the import. That works in 63a, but not 94.

Are they compiled?

i've toying around with libraries in .94, and for me the crash happens only if the map's script contains no scripts (ie. only an #import directive)
(bug?)

try a dummy script which does nothing (it doesn't have to be called imo):

Code: Select all

script 777 (void)
{
  delay (1);
}

Are the complied libraries between A_START and A_END lumps. Libraries do work with 2.0.94 because ZDoom uses a library to preform many of Strifes things.

Hmmm :? It must be something weird with my system then, because I can't get libraries to work with 94. I've had them working before in 63a.

The exact same ACS script used in a library in 63a won't work in a library for 94, however if I copy the code and paste it directly into the script for the map, it works fine. :roll:

It is a compiled lump I am adding, and it is between the A_ markers. I've also tried putting a dummy script in there. None of it works.

I have libraries working quite well in .94. Can you describe your entire process?

Something tells me he has copied and pasted the compiled code.

Nope, I copy-pasted the ACS source and re-compiled it. :)

Well, the last thing I tried was creating a 2-sector map in DB. I edited the script and have

Code: Select all

#include "Zcommon.acs"
#import "ExpLib.acs"
in that one. Then I created a new script outside of DB, and put this in it:

Code: Select all

#library "ExpLib"
#include "ZCommon.acs"
Script 1 (void)
{
 PrintBold(s:"Testing");
}
The print statement is just there because of Raziel saying empty libraries crashed. Anyway, I compiled this script and inserted the .o between the A_START and A_END tags. I have it named EXPLIB. Then I launch ZDoom 94, and it crashes :? If I launch the same .wad in 63a, it plays fine.

(That good enough for an entire process description? :P :lol: )

By the way, I will post the crash I get here in case someone wants to look at it. Since this actually isn't the forum for it, I'll put it in spoiler tags.

sorry if i wasn't clear, but i meant that the dummy script should be in your map's script

btw empty libraries could crash, i haven't tested it. but experimenting with empty libraries is a bit silly :)

Sure enough, that was it. It crashes with no scripts in the maps behavior lump. :roll:

No, I was just blind. :P I see now looking at your first post above that you did say it was on the map scripts. :oops: :)

Great. :D It's fixed already, too. I was thinking about posting this in there, but now I don't have to :P
