I had a quick look at the archive.
1) get rid of markers. You have pk3. PK3 is archive allowing use of folders, so you don't really need to use markers. Markers could cause problems with pk3.
2) Plase, tidy the archive. Since you can use folders, just move all your decorate files from root into folders (like /actors or /decorate or something like that). The same for any other archive that allow #including other files. If you dont know which files allow it, zdoom wiki is your friend here.

Did you 2) - Tidying the archive?

These problems always arise when the archive itself isn't cleaned up properly.

When you make a pwad with that many resources then the cardinal rule is to pay attention to proper housekeeping, else errors can happen too easily.

For example, when you include more than a handful of actors do not have multiple DECORATE lumps . Instead use a system with individual folders for each actor. Do not forget to give each actor a doomed number.

The best example of a well organized pk3 pwad is viewtopic.php?f=19&t=46718
