PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED error
Upon picking up a pistol, the message "PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED" is printed, instead of "Picked up a pistol."

Re: PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED error
Works for me. I get the correct text.
Re: PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED error
Just tried again with 4.3.1 and it's still happening to me.

Re: PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED error
What is your language set to? When you installed 4.3.1, did you also update gzdoom.pk3?Flynn Worthingford wrote:Just tried again with 4.3.1 and it's still happening to me.
Re: PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED error
Language is set to Auto, and system language is English US. I'm using the gzdoom.pk3 included with the download file for GZDoom 4.3.1.
Re: PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED error
Yes, I copied and pasted every file in the download zip, replacing any previous files.
And to save a step, in case anyone was going to ask, this was tested with a fresh .ini as well. A clean install. I also used -noautoload just on the off chance of something external being loaded.

Re: PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED error
I have a correction to make to that last statement: there was an external file being loaded, after all. And said external file contains a LANGUAGE lump which defines a string for PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED in Italian (no other languages).
Removing this file stops the error, even though the [enu] definition of PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED was never touched.

Re: PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED error
Can you direct us to this external file? Because while my GZDoom install is still somewhat old (4.2.4), a cursory search through the language.csv file in game_support.pk3 does not show me any strings called "pickup_pistol_dropped".
Re: PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED error
The external file was of my own creation, and it being loaded was my own fault. However, I don't see how this file *should* be causing this issue, and it indeed only started happening recently.
To reproduce this issue, you only need a language lump like the following:
[enu default]
PICKUP_MINIGUN = "You got the minigun!";
[ita]
PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED = "Hai trovato una pistola.";
...with a single string under [enu default] (doesn't matter what it is), and then the string in question under some other language.
For reference, wildweasel, gzdoom.pk3's language.csv is where the engine's PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED string can be found.

Re: PICKUP_PISTOL_DROPPED error
I am not 100% sure, but I believe that there is still a bug here. I don't think it should be clearing the English string if there's an entry for Italian for that same string.
I am reopening this.
