Updated Module System Tutorial Mar 29 2009 - see first thread!

[Damocles]

check commas and quotation marks

If I remember right- and sorry if this is wrong jik- there is the odd typo if you copy and paste jik's code.
Its better if you enter the code manually anyway- it helps you learn better.

Hope that's it.

 

[jik]

errors like that usually indicate that you are missing a bracket or comma above that line.

 

[Eumolpus]

I've followed everything from in the first and second part but then the game crashes when I started a new game.

Any ideas?

 

[jik]

Hmm...  I'm sure you must have either missed something, or there is a type-o error.  Check where you define the icon for the city and where it is called.

 

[cdvader]

Well, I'm following your tut, Jik. And so far, it has been real nice (though I'm having the list indices must be integers, not tuple problem at the moment, trying to solve it), there are a few tiny faults to it.

I got the same error as Eumolpus, but I fixed it by changing "city" to "City".

 

[rorschach82]

this is awesome. many thanks for you effort dude.
i just wish i found it a couple of days ago.. lol..

 

[jocamar]

Guys when I try to test the build_module file I get this log. It says I got error nº13. I dont know what to do. Could anyone please ehlp me?

[Jess_the_Hobozerk]

tanks a bunch i think i somewhat get modding a little bit now

 

[lspuris]

i don't get it how i spawn troops 
can some1 tell me please?(I'm not making an Geoffrey party lol and i didn't understand how to do it in the tutorial

 

[Alarim]

Meh, I can even get the "Mod_Town" to show on the map. I don't get it. The build_module doesn't report any errors. This is what I've done.
Map icons:

  ("banner_126",0,"map_flag_15", banner_scale,0),
  ("new_icon",0,"city", 2,0),
]

_____________________________________
Parties:

  ("town_18","Narra",  icon_town_steppe|pf_town, no_menu, pt_none, fac_neutral,0,ai_bhvr_hold,0,(-22.6, -82),[], 135),

## JIK's Test Area
  ("mod_town","Mod_Town", icon_new_icon|pf_town, no_menu, pt_none, fac_neutral,0,ai_bhvr_hold,0,(-1, -1),[], 45),
## End of JIK's Test Area
 
#  Aztaq_Castle     
#  Malabadi_Castle
  ("castle_1","Culmarr_Castle",icon_castle_a|pf_castle, no_menu, pt_none, fac_neutral,0,ai_bhvr_hold,0,(-69.2, 31.3),[],50),

Is this correct? The only weird thing was that I found tons of weird text files in my modules folder which all started with the name of my mod. Shouldn't they be inside my module folder?

 

[cdvader]

Not sure about your problem, Alarim.

I wish Jik, or atleast someone, would continue this. It is a great tutorial, indeed. I'd do it myself but I doubt I'd be any greater than Jik.

 

[Deathincarnatelolz]

What I do wrong here? The build_module.bat says something about unknown tokens: hareck_dyingwish and hareck_dywingwish_2

[trp_constable_hareck,"start", [], "Yes? Can I help you?", "hareck_talk",[]],
    [trp_constable_hareck|plyr, "hareck_talk", [], [(neg|check_quest_active,"qst_dying_wish"),(neg|check_quest_finished,"qst_dying_wish")],"Yes. My dying father asked me to give this letter to you.", "hareck_dyingwish",[]],
    [trp_constable_hareck,"hareck_dyingwish", [], "*Constable Hareck reads the letter* Ah, your father. We were good friends when we were young.", "hareck_dying_wish_2",[]],
    [trp_constable_hareck,"hareck_dyingwish_2", [], "Anyway, he wanted you to talk to someone by the name of Tiresias. He said he was a man of knowledge and is in Zendar. However, I know not of Tiresias.", "hareck_dyingwish_3",[]],
    [trp_constable_hareck,"hareck_dyingwish_3", [], " However, I know this blind beggar who calls himself as Tiresias. Maybe he knows who this Tiresias is. You can find him around the alleys of Zendar.", "hareck_dyingwish_4",[]],
    [trp_constable_hareck|plyr, "hareck_dyingwish_4", [], "Thank you, constable." "close_window",
    (setup_quest_text,"qst_tiresias"),
    (str_store_string, s2, "@Constable Hareck tells you that your father wanted you to talk to Tiresias. A beggar around the alleys of Zendar will tell you where he is."),
    (call_script,"script_start_quest","qst_tiresias","trp_constable_hareck"),
    [[assign,"$tiresias",1]]],
    [trp_constable_hareck|plyr, "hareck_talk", [], "Nothing. Good-bye.", "close_window",[]],

Edit: Changed somewhere I can't remember, works now.

 

[thrakkemarn]

Been using this for a while, so just wanted to stop in and say a big thank you!

The "permission denied" errors can be avoided by running it as admin.
The rest, however, is a mystery. I can only guess that it's Vista related, since I got it on my vista machine, too.

 

[FrisianDude]

It is fixable for vista, but I don't know how.

 

[thrakkemarn]

My recommendation: keep all of your module files and module system files you are working with in your User folder (i.e. C:\Users\thrakkemarn\modules) or something like that. Anything in YOUR user folder is exempt from the annoying vista security crap (at least, unless you changed your settings).

Meh, I can even get the "Mod_Town" to show on the map. I don't get it. The build_module doesn't report any errors. This is what I've done.
Map icons:

  ("banner_126",0,"map_flag_15", banner_scale,0),
  ("new_icon",0,"city", 2,0),
]

Is this correct? The only weird thing was that I found tons of weird text files in my modules folder which all started with the name of my mod. Shouldn't they be inside my module folder?

I had the same problem.

It seems the mesh "city" isn't available in 1.01x anymore.

Just change it to map_town_a or make a mesh of your own

thanks, this helped me alot

 

[KaiserSkullz]

Alright so I used JIK tutorial (great tutorial by the way) and the scene in the Tavern works great, but when I try to do the same idea with the town center I end up with some serious problems. I tried using entry point 0, or 1 and I don't show up there, but a copy of me does, and when I use entry 24 that's where I spawn, and none of my entry points from passages IE tavern menu #4 and entry #4 seem to work, so I was wondering if anyone can tell me if its something I didn't do? like in module_scenes.py for entry points? or is it something else? Help would be greatly appreciated thanks much

Jocamar- I'm not qouting that massive post, But I think I can solve your problem.

Two things- first make sure the path is set properly- thats in the tutorial if you don't know,

Then you need to disable the user account control on Vista. This control makes it so that any changes to files have to have administrator permission, and so it won't let you modify the files via build_module.bat.

This should solve things.
