Decorate incompatibility

[printz]

There's a major incompatibility: it thinks that BRIGHT is a codepointer and quits processing the DECORATE states in the EDF thingtype block. How has Essel coped with this during his importing of realm667 monsters into his mod?

Here's the warning/error output:

E_ProcessEDF: Loading root lump.

Error on line 3 of DECORATE state block:

It would be more helpful if you posted what your EDF actually looks like.

Here's for BruiserBall2:

	States
	@"
	Spawn: 
		BRB2 AB 6 BRIGHT 
		Loop
	Death:
		BRB2 CDEFGHI 3 Bright
		Stop
	"@

Were you never faced with the case when you had to use BRIGHT Decorate syntax frames?

The BruiserDemon and the BruiserFire objects show different error messages simply because the first caught Bright states also had codepointers:
BruiserDemon:

	States
	@"
	Spawn:
		BRUS AB 10 Bright A_Look 
		Loop

BruiserFire:

    	States
    	@"
    	Spawn:
		XXBF A 0 Bright
		XXBF A 0 Bright A_PlaySoundEx(barexp, chan_auto)

Like the last time you found an error such as this, it was the case sensitivity of a string comparison operation being accidentally enforced:

// Original code:
if(!QStrCaseCmp(ps->tokenbuffer, "bright"))

// Incorrect code translated to C++ qstring class:
if(*ps->tokenbuffer == "bright")

// Corrected code I'm about to commit:
if(!ps->tokenbuffer->strCaseCmp("bright"))
