How to set music lump and background lump for castcall screen?

[JtoTheB]

I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but if it is I need help. I've been making a custom cast call screen (using MAPINFO) and want to set a custom background, and custom music for it. Whenever I try to add it, it gives me the error shown below.

Code: Select all

Expected Identifier but got '=' instead.

I don't really know what to do about it.

It means it is seeing a = in the code where it isn't supposed to be a =. Perhaps it helps posting the wad and/or the full code (in a code tag obviously or a spoiler if it is too big).

I'll send the code.

Code: Select all

Intermission Doom2Cast
{
Music = D_HEAVEN
Background = "GP"
Cast
	{
		CastClass = "Zombieman2"
		CastName = "Missile Man"
		AttackSound = "Missile", 1, "skeleton/attack"
	}
	Cast
	{
		CastClass = "Shotgunguy2"
		CastName = "Missile Man but Bald"
		AttackSound = "Missile", 1, "fatso/attack"
	}
	Cast
	{
		CastClass = "Perforator"
		CastName = "Perforator"
		AttackSound = "Missile", 1, "weapons/minigunfire"
	}
	Cast
	{
		CastClass = "DoomImp2"
		CastName = "Grenadier Imp"
	}
	Cast
	{
		CastClass = "Pinky"
		CastName = "Speedy Pinky"
		AttackSound = "Melee", 1, "demon/melee"
	}

	Link = Doom2Cast
}

Have you tried putting D_HEAVEN in quotes?

i.e.

Code: Select all

Music = "D_HEAVEN"

Already have, still gives me the same error.

When I boot it up, it also gives me this:

Code: Select all

Script Error, epicmod.wad:MAPINFO line 174:
Unknown intermission type 'music'

Apologies for not providing it sooner.

Ah, OK, I *think* I see the problem. The music instruction (I think) needs to go in a sub block.

So, it might work if you just put it inside your first cast definition (because you won't be changing it after that).

However, what I did with one of my own projects was this...

Code: Select all

Intermission WaterlabCast0
{
	Image
	{
		Background = "WLBACK"
		Time = -1
		Music = "D_EVIL2"
	}
	Link = WaterlabCast
}

Intermission WaterlabCast
{
	Cast
	{
		CastClass = "ZombieScientist"
		CastName = "Zombie Scientist"
		AttackSound = "Melee", 0, "skeleton/swing"
		AttackSound = "Melee", 1, "AxeHit"
	}
	
	Cast
	{
		CastClass = "ZombieScientist2"
		CastName = "Zombie Scientist"
		AttackSound = "Melee", 0, "skeleton/swing"
		AttackSound = "Melee", 1, "femscientist/KnifeHit"
		AttackSound = "Melee", 2, "skeleton/swing"
		AttackSound = "Melee", 3, "femscientist/KnifeHit"
	}
	
and so on, and so on
