ZDoom

I´ve got GZdoom 3.0 and i want to run Ketchup v5 blood pack but when i run the game this appears:

That's a very, VERY well known error with Brutal Doom and its derivatives. The problem is in decorate.blood.txt, where a rogue typo declares an A_FadeOut with an argument of 0.l instead of 0.1. That's a lowercase letter L. Older ZDoom didn't care about this typo. Newer GZDooms crash on it because the parser got tuned up significantly.

[edit] I split the error and my response - partially because it's off-topic to your other Tech Issues thread, but also so I can redirect people to this post whenever the error gets brought up. Because it's been a problem for more than half a year and it's still cropping up, and people are still asking about it.

And let's note that the real problem here is that even after this error was reported to the BD creator very early after its discovery, he did - nothing - and let the error sit for countless derivatives to copy it. I'm a bit puzzled that even after 1.5 years there' still mods floating around that do not have this fixed.

True, BD v21 is supposed to come out soon but who knows.
In the meantime you can use any of the available addons that fix the problem, i recommend mine since it fixes other problems too and well becouse it's mine.

Thank you very much! i edit the A_FadeOut parts of the decorate.blood.txt and it works fine now!

Hey, can I ask a small question?

also have the same problem as you.

Sorry for very delayed reply, only just came across this problem (and thread) myself. If you've already fixed it, I hope that at least this will help others with the same problem.

Here's what to do:
1) Open the ketchup .pk3 file. You can do this with WinRAR. I think ketchupV5.pk3 and ketchupV5_nogibs_splattersonly.pk3 are the pk3s of the most recent version.
2) Open decorate.blood.txt in Notepad.
3) Ctrl+F search for FadeOut(0.l) where 'l' is a lowercase 'L'
4) Change the lowercase 'L' to the number '1'
5) Save
6) Confirm you want to update the archive.
7) Run ketchup as normal

Hope that helps
