[BUG] [Duke 3D] Some mods won't start because of `eduke.con` #1071

Closed fgsfds closed 7 months ago

fgsfds commented 7 months ago

Raze version

1.9.1

Which game are you running with Raze?

Duke Nukem 3D

What Operating System are you using?

Windows 10

Have you checked that no other similar issue already exists?

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When eduke.con is present in the duke mod zip, it's loaded instead of game.con https://github.com/ZDoom/Raze/blob/b383a99065589d8b2b600cf74f66eb5143b19777/source/games/duke/src/gamedef.cpp#L3159

This is not a good idea since eduke.con usually contains EDuke32 specific syntax which is not supported by Raze and the mod won't launch at all. Example: https://github.com/ZDoom/Raze/issues/123

It would be a better idea to ignore eduke.con or introduce Raze's own raze.con that will be loaded by default.

The irony here being, of course, that this was a feature from EDuke 2.0 which Raze does mostly support You are right, of course. The way things developed it better be disabled.

Unfortunately, this won't help with dukehard. It has no fallback for other engines, although the maps themselves might work perfectly fine.
