Try this patch. Load it after mod.
Will do, gimme a few days to test this out. Thanks for the effort!

EDIT: So, it indeed fixed the mod crashing on slashing Brutal Monsters' Only Lost Souls. This fix though caused another related bug. Let me explain: Since it was impossible to use saber attacks on Lost Souls previous to this patch, I didn't even bother to use the stun feature of the saber on them. Now I did, and while it isn't instant like it was before, slashing stunned Brutal Monsters' Only Lost Souls causes another forced endgame with this lines on the console:

Code: Select all

VM execution aborted: tried to read from address zero
Called from Actor.CountInv at gzdoom.pk3:zscript/actors/inventory_util.zs
Called from SaberTaser.StateFunction.2 at HighwayAcceleroidBooster-v1.pk3:zactors/weapons/wep0-sword.zsc, line 849
Called from state SaberTaser.2 in SaberTaser
It appeared once, so I tried to replicate. So it did using the almost the same test environment, in yet another different machine. This time I cheated using 'god' and 'give all' commands (to get the saber instantly) in Master Levels' Attack map. I didn't use any 'summon'.

I can only wonder why those Lost Souls and your Saber keep hating each other.

Thank you so much for your efforts. Also, I'm sorry I'm so late to reply to your fix attempt.

I'm totally thankful about you trying to tackle this even with whats going on already everywhere (main reason why I've been unable to reply right away).

Unfortunatetly, your fix is no good as it is.

Made the same testing, this time using my main machine.

Instead of doing transcriptions, I resorted to give you shots of the console as not all terminations ended the same.

Bud, take your time, no need to rush anything with all this covid19 happening. But I'll keep an eye here just in case you are still available to fix this.

Please take care of yourself.

Thanks again!.

EDIT: The hell, I had a bad feeling after renaming your script file and loading it with that new name would have some side efects. That I did, so I renamed it back to it's original name and tried testing again and VOILÂ!: Lost Souls issues seems fixed!. I'm so sorry I didn't notice this before, but you actually nailed it and I screwed it up.

I guess that does it, so is up to you now when to insert your fix into the mod itself.

I can't thank you enough all your time and effort. Please forgive me again, didn't think a simple renaming would make gzdoom just to ignore the script file.

And again, please be careful.

I just saw someone mention the name of this mod and I had to try it. I was thinking it might be similar to something I recently released but it turned out to be something else entirely and very awesome. It's pretty funny to use my map and this mod together, though my map could use some tweaking especially for it.

Here's a vid of an older version of that map, Slingshot Chicken (was originally calling it Highway Slingshot Chicken Duel when planning it out on paper):
Spoiler:
It's map37 of EntHangP.wad (accessible from map07) for Doom 2, or E7M3 of D1EntHng.wad for Ultimate Doom, or E1M1 of QuikHt0.wad for Heretic (Available at https://gokuma.neocities.org/).

The Doom 2 version is the best original intended map but just has SSG, SG, RL, Berserk, and a secret containing three new weapons. Doom 1 version has all Doom 1 weapons except no chainsaw, and Plasma & BFG only appear in the secret in deathmatch mode. Both wads have an altfire for the BFG. Using either wad with Highway Acceleroid Booster (I added my wad first with this mod second to possibly override stuff as necessary), it seems have all the weapons of this mod plus my modified BFG and the additional weapons in EngHangP.wad. I carefully timed scripting with dash zone lines to allow windows of time to pass through without being bounced back and forth like a ping pong ball. I've noticed this mod reduces momentum somewhat and you can also resist the thrust (or work with it), so you end up in the road between the zones more often. Not sure what I can do there thinking offhand, but I should up the thrust of the single dash pad in the secret area and of course add all weapons (with none of my own weapons) for a version of that map for this mod. Maybe I'll add the Maulotaur from Heretic into Doom 2 so it's like Running of the Bulls, heh. BTW, I logged in for the first time since November 4th, 2004 just to post this. Admin must have been thinking WTF?! while reactivating my account.

I made a Jukebox of SNES Mega Man X music for this, is it cool if I post it here?

It doesn't have every song, mostly just ones I thought fit.

Is the berserk powerup in this mod an upgrade or does it last for only one level?

This mod is a banger. I'm having a blast. I have a question though. Can I find artworks from this mod somewhere?

You can google the mod's name and see the result. Already got plenty of 'em!

So I finished 8-Bit Deathmatch v6 today, and holy shit what a ride it was. Ultimate props to CutmanMike, Dr. Freeman, and the rest of the team behind that masterpiece of a mod. That being said, I decided I would redo the whole thing over again with your Booster mod, because why not. However, when I tried doing so, I ended up with this error:

Code: Select all

Script error, "te13-Booster_8BDM.pk3:decorate.txt" line 1:
Parent type 'EvilRobotGhost' not found in EvilRobotGhost2
Script error, "te13-Booster_8BDM.pk3:decorate.txt" line 1:

Script error, "te13-Booster_8BDM.pk3:actors/gun.dec" line 427:

Execution could not continue.

Script error, "te13-Booster_8BDM.pk3:actors/gun.dec" line 427:
Unexpected '0' in definition of 'ClutchBuster_Campaign'
How can I fix this? Or will there be a fix soon?

What is your load order? That looks like you're loading booster first.

That's weird. It works fine with the booster addon on my end. I played it with a launcher included in the MM8DM and it had no error at all. Try tweaking Extra Command Line Parameters in the launcher and connect booster addon to it.

Some small problems might be lacking of Booster's alternative costumes and HUD being all non-8bit.

I just can´t say, How well this mod is made, just stunning.

Just question do you have version with something similar to Zero?, that will be amazing.

Hey, I was using SLADE and... Do you know how you can reverse the front mirror so that it's like a camera who screens what you're seeing and shooting in forward view?

I already managed to do that just by going to player.zsc and modifying the class named BoosterCamera where are A_Warp Double Angle to 0.
But now I need the mirror to look up and down in reverse, like what you're actually looking correctly in the game.
