Blank Episode Name Bug

User is offline   deuxsonic

I've noticed this mostly with older mods, but it's easily replicated:

When an episode name is left blank or simply a space such as:

definevolumename 0 L.A. MELTDOWN
definevolumename 1 LUNAR APOCALYPSE
definevolumename 2 SHRAPNEL CITY
definevolumename 3 


which is something that many mods did because it would show up as a blank entry in vanilla Duke3D, EDuke32 will normally remove that episode from the game, which makes sense. The problem is that sometimes it treats the next line of code in the CON file, which is usually

defineskillname 0 PIECE OF CAKE


as an episode name as a result, so you have messed up episode names and then the skill level names will also be wrong as a result if they've been given custom names. Basically when it encounters a blank "definevolumename #" it should remove the episode but not use whatever comes after to fill the void.

An example of a mod that will produce this issue is the TIME TC demo.

It seems to be a particular issue with episode 4 being written as above. If the line is removed entirely then the issue goes away.
