oh fiddle dee dee. While trying to create the example I noticed the "invalid acs module" error. evidently the game objected to having both the source AND the compiled file in the same folder, at least with such similar names.
and SO it worked in the test map for a moment, but as soon as I tried to add the script to and activate it in another map

I started getting this confounding error. And it is happening in both maps. Apart from the wads themselves and the dbs files nothing else in any of these folders has changed.
I don't know where it is pulling that absurd path from.
the example still works fine.

I even banished the text source to a totally unrelated folder and saved saved saved and gzdoom is still trying to use the garbage "doom2/2" path. I evener tried actually putting the library source as a file just named 2 in the doom2 folder and that didn't work. Is there someplace else it could be taking a path instruction from?
I tried recompiling the file that loadacs looks at in case I had somehow cut out half the path, recompiled it and renamed it just to mess with myself and then blacked out and forget the previous five minutes without knowing it, but that didn't change anything either. In fact if I empty the acs folder entirely I get the exact same "doom2/2" message
BECAUSE I had loadacs in the acs folder where it apparently isn't supposed to be. I must have had a copy in the correct folder for just a moment and that screwed up how I was looking at the situation. flippety dippity bees. I have no idea then why my example works because that also has loadacs inside its acs folder. Nor where "doom2 backslash 2" is being pulled out of.
in any case the problem is tentatively solved and i hope somebody can learn from my mistakes even if it isn't me.
