[6.2] Corruption Cards - 200+ cards! New Collector mode!

[GreenDoomguy1999]

Did I missed something or LZDoom compatibility been dropped? Version 4.3 crashes with

Script error, "CorruptionCards-v4.3.pk3:zscript/corruptioncards/cards/monstergeneric.zscript" line 351:
Unknown identifier 'bFULLVOLSEE'
Function without prototype needs register info manually set: CCards_Actor_GangPortal.StateFunction.2

Execution could not continue.

Fixed for next version. You can comment out that line yourself by opening the pk3 yourself, if you wish to play 4.3 before I can update it.

The game started aborting recently after loading new level right before offering me cards. Error message only says "GetPacket: NOTINITIALISED". I suspect that this might be because for some reason in 4.3 the game kept telling me that "new cards added to compendium"every new level even for cards I already have. Also compendium says that I have 871 cards out of 172. I'm gonna try and clear my compendium and see if it fixes this problem.
EDIT: Seems that clearing the compendium fixed aborting issue, but still might be worth looking into it.

[Cutmanmike]

The compendium issue will be fixed next version. Currently it adds duplicate cards to your record, but next version the duplicate entries will be purged and your compendium will read as normal.

Not sure what the GetPacket: NOTINITIALISED issue is about though, never heard of that. Is this online? Can you take a screenshot?

Glad to hear that.

No, I always play singleplayer. There is a screenshot.

The GetPacket error might not even be the mods fault as I got it when playing PB 3.0 with CC. This might be a GZDoom error. However, in my case it caused GZDoom to crash instead of a vm abort

I ran into another bug yesterday but forgot to mention it here, it may have already been mentioned before but on extremely large maps the Sharknado sometimes doesn't despawn. It'll do it's usual thing and track the player then leave them alone but I assume because the map was big (Resurgence Map30) it stopped completely at a random position in full view and just hung there forever.

EDIT: It does seem to be rare. I tried to replicate it but couldn't get it to happen again at least in the few attempts I tried.

Hello friends, let me first couch this by saying I'm running a pile of mods and I totally understand if this is just a consequence of my extreme settings, but I found something interesting.

I'm running custom mode with perma cards every level, and picked up a wild card. The next level there was something very strange in the available selection which I couldn't be sure is a bug or a feature. A few levels later and my card offerings all seem to be getting corrupted and things are getting very weird - enemy sprites are sometimes stretched or rotated, among other things.

Here's a screenshot of my card settings with the weird stuff highlighted, and here's a console dump of the card effects. Note that the console dump omits text coloring which is a bit sad.

This isn't stopping me from playing, so I'm not too bothered if this is a bug or not, but I figured it was strange enough to make an account to post.

you grabbed the lilith wild card.

that is the Lilith wild card, it's reference to an old mod someone made for an old engine that basically broke every possible visual function

OK thanks! I've seen MtPain27's youtube review of lilith.pk3 so I figured it might be something like that. It certainly made my already-chaotic run even more strange. Is there a wild card available in every level, or is it a small chance? I've only found 3 across multiple megawads

it used to be if you found all secrets or got all kills in a map, the next map would have a wild card wall (I think???) I've never really understood the wildcard thing, and most the ones i find are me secret hunting and thinking its a secret

Initially it used to be like this:
Wild card spawns in a secret sector after getting 100% kills and secrets in 4-5 maps.
Nowadays it works like this:
Wild card spawns in a distorted/out of place wall after beating a random number of maps. If you failed to find it - you get a chance in the next map until you actually collect it and pick it. However, if you collected a wild card but didn't picked it when it was offered - same process as if you failed to find it in the first place.
Hope I don't miss anything, Mike can correct me if he wants to.

been having random crashes when getting to a new level sometimes.
also, need to look into making unique tooltip tags to avoid libtooltip clashes (already known, i know. just a reminder)

[ToxicFrog]

I've updated the libtooltipmenu documentation with clearer instructions on how to do that; it should be doable with two search-and-replaces on the libtooltipmenu files now. And the next releases of Indestructable and Gun Bonsai will have practical examples.
