Custom Weapon has no Frames Error

[Grum]

Hey peeps, first time poster here. I'm working on making my first custom weapon and learning DECORATE scripts. My pk3 file loads into GZDoom just fine but when opening up console command it says "[weapon name] has no frames" and won't load in the custom sprites. I wanted to know if there's something missing in the code that's keeping me from spawning my new weapon.

 

Here's my code: 

 

ACTOR SNOOB-SG: Weapon Replaces Shotgun 20000
{
    Weapon.SelectionOrder 50
    Inventory.PickupMessage "You got the SN00B-SG, wicked!"
    Weapon.AmmoType "Shell"
    Weapon.AmmoUse 1
    Weapon.AmmoGive 35
    Weapon.SlotNumber 3
    
States
{
Spawn: 
    SNOO A -1
Stop
Ready:
    SNOO A 1 A_WeaponReady
Loop
Select:
    SNOO A 1 A_Raise
Loop
Deselect:
    SNOO A 1 A_lower
Loop
Fire:
    SNOO A 4
    SNOO B 4
    SNOO C 4
    SNOO D 4 A_FireBullets(5.5, 3, 6, 8, "BulletPuff", 1)
    SNOO E 5 A_Recoil(3)
    SNOO F 5
    SNOO G 5 
Goto Ready
}
}

 

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide.

Thanks!

So, what about you first learn how to organize data in an archive?

 

First, zip != wad. When you use zip, use directories to hold data, not namespace markers. These simply dont work with zips. In zips, sprites go to /sprites folder.

Ah, that did the trick. I was following a guide on youtube and they were using namespace markers to put the sprites in. The mod works now. Thanks for the help!

...in a zip? You know, when you follow an example, you have to follow it completely.  Not take out only bits you like.
