Odamex does not currently support the plain-text language lump used in ZDoom 2.0.97 and above. The older language lump is in a compiled binary form and was used primarily in the 1.22 and 1.23b33 versions of ZDoom. That said, Odamex should simply ignore language lumps that are not compatible instead of throwing I_FatalError. r4771 attempts to verify that the header in the binary LANGUAGE lump is legitimate. If it fails verification, the LANGUAGE lump is not loaded and a warning message is printed. I changed the title of the bug to reflect the issue more accurately. |
Odamex seems to use a custom "LANGUAGE" lump in order to translate the game into French, English, Italian, ... . If trying to read in a txt viewer seems to have binary data. When using a custom "LANGUAGE" lump (from btsx_e1.wad for instance), Odamex will systematically crash the game/server saying: > LANGUAGE had 25632 strings. > This version of ZDoom expects it to have 575. > GetLastError = 0 Those lumps should be viewable in plain text.
