[can't fix][0.9.5] Texture error in Legacy-specific WAD

Playing Aphrodite.wad with Legacy works fine, but with GZDoom 0.9.5 the result is:

**** DIED WITH FATAL ERROR:
Bad texture directory

The WAD is buggy and the error is justified. But I have no idea why it has to be fatal. Only Randy knows.

So presumably, anyone playing it all the way through with Legacy will eventually encounter some sort of error along the way. I assume it's fatal in order to prevent having to handle the discovery of an error later on, but as stated, only Randy knows for sure.

What is actually wrong with that texture list anyway?

At least the first 2 textures in it are broken. The error says that some texture points to data beyond the end of the TEXTURE1 lump.

Unfortunately this problem is unfixable. ZDoom can't determine whether this TEXTURE1 lump is in Doom or Strife format due to the empty textures.

ZDoom prohibits empty texture definitions for a good reason.

Hmm. And Legacy loads it as well. Another reason to ditch it

Thanks!
