I need help with a mod

[whippersnapper]

Correct.. Any mapper can place the Tank Transport on a map by simply adding it's .PIE to the Objects List but it is through scripting
that it is controlled. In base .wz the scripting control is found in the Campaign Scripts. "Aivolution"s" first iteration used Tank Transport drops
and was a .wdg released for a modified Pumpkin binary dubbed .v.10.0C which also had string support added for the first "Gates Mod" by
Troman and Elric (Grim's brother). When eventually "Aivolution" was merged with the WRP source Tank Transport drop scripting had been
removed.

Must be my post earlier here, and many elsewhere on this same subject over the last 6 months, are invisible (not really but the pretense is real, if you catch the drift, and I do). Par for the course, the pattern. Oh well, I'll introspect over the convolutions of neo-nepotism or the decline of
literacy and manners, on my unwasted time. Even this can be put to good use as an artist. 'Nough said.

If i created my own script where would the game load it from? I'm going to read: " http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/AI_Tutorial "

...then go read it. It tells you the answer, you know. <_< (it's in multiplay/skirmish/)

(I find it amusing that at least three people have complained that you're asking questions that have already been answered earlier in the thread. You should probably take it as a hint to read things more closely. )

not complained.... just feel ignored is all.... xD

If that's what you wanna do.. more power to ya bud.

But I'm just gonna let ya know that I have...

1.) The original "Aivolution" with the Tank Transport Drop scripting
which was removed when it was merged with the WRP source.

2.) The modified, compatible, game binary so you can see it in action, in game

3.) All the above original source files (NOT decompiled with "WdgExplorer" but original.)
This means the complete file structure properly laid out for you to see first hand in
working order.

4.) Permission to use it all (I've thoughts to integrate Tank Transport Drop Scripting
from this "Aivolution" iteration, and parts of "H2O" a.i. as well, into the latest "Become Prey"
to make an UBER Ski A.I. for any Map or game style... but that's another story.)

AND......I would also be sincerely glad for you to succeed in your project efforts..

To people i have ignored: sorry about that.

EDIT: Could you attach that aivolution please?

I have encountered a seemingly incorrect error.
Attached is a zip with stderr saying stuff about not finding resource strings and all of the string files so that you can see for yourself how BS this error is... ctrl+f Transport Howitzer and RES_W_TH82 to see. And fix the error for me if you want.

...um...

The error message is:

error |06:04:48: [strresGetString] Could not find string for id "R-Wpn-VTOL-TransHowy-VTOL"

names.txt doesn't have R-Wpn-VTOL-TransHowy-VTOL.

What's wrong with the error message?

It's telling you that you should probably add:

Code: Select all

R-Wpn-VTOL-TransHowy-VTOL                     _("Transport Howitzer")

somewhere in names.txt

I see... i kept thinking i have "howitzer82-vtol" in there so that cant be the problem.
I completely forgot the R-Wpn had to be in there too...

Thanks. :rolleyes:

I'm on the road with only my LT - the files are at home on my DT box. I'll be home tomorrow and I'll send you the source files
then. I don't wanna post 'em cause they could potentially open up a can of worms with folks downloading them and not
really knowing what there doing, messing up their set-ups and then complaining here. In my past experience no matter
how much you warn folks they don't listen and then blame everyone else for the ensuing probs. These source files will
not simply work "out-of-the-box" with the current WRP binary but the specific scripts will if you know what you're doing - so
I just want to avoid that by sending the files direct. I still have your addy.

Thanks whipper

I have another problem... check it out yourself. Attached is a zip containing stderr and my entire mod. I cant figure out what the error is...
:rolleyes:

I know that the error means i have an invalid number set in research.txt. But if i put it on zero my weapon isn't available for research.
It must be set to 2. But i get this error if set to 2. Researching R-Wpn-VTOL-TransHowy-VTOL makes the transport and the weapon available, that's 2.

Sent. Check your In-box.

Sorry it took a little longer.

I went through all the files carefully to make sure I sent only
what you needed and not files related to the modified v.1.10C
binary. Mainly cause this stuff was merged into the WRP Binary
years ago - all related to changes made to the original Script Lang.

Regards, whipper.

I am going to have to give up on this mod because it is near impossible getting anything to work...
Thanks for the help anyways.
