ACS error with Lasting Light mod

Post by Hidden Hands »

Not directly related to my project, but I was testing out Lasting Light with one of my maps. My custom map contains a lot of ACS functions, such as an ENTER message, "print" text functions when checking shelves etc. When loaded with Lasting Light, which I was doing as a project to see what can and cannot work with my custom game, some strange problems happen.

For one, the "shock" images that pop up when monsters are near are no longer working. Also, the footsteps don't play anymore. Why is this happening? Is there a fix for it?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't seen Lasting Light's scripts, but it might be possible that the mod's script doesn't have a #library defined.
I've had issues with my own mods breaking with maps that have ACS scripts, because they lacked a defined #library.

#library is defined like this:

Code: Select all

#library "NAME"  
It must be the first thing defined, above #include "zcommon.acs".
