Modding Q&A [For Quick Questions and Answers]

[Shredzorz]

Quick question. My game always kinda crashes on to the desktop when I changed one code. It will go back to the game but its annoying. I tried to make the cartridge ammo invisible

[("cartridge_a",0),("0",ixmesh_flying_ammo)],

It always crashes with some 0 prefix or something. Any help?

It works if you name it something that doesn't exist, like cartridge_b. Alternatively, you could make a plane, give it a really small texture and set the alpha channel to completely black. The second way is actually how I did it in AoFI.

Could not find an guide for it: How do i actually make a new texture?

This would be a good start.

Oh D: Well, I tried naming it cartridge_b but it just spammed error messages. Maybe Ill just do a plain, and make it transperent?

I've noticed this before but never bothered to ask. What does {!} do for strings?

 

[Somebody]

It makes the game not get screwed over by an empty string. It's usually followed by registers or strings, which can be null and won't display properly. As far as I know it won't show up in-game unless it's a part of a string literal (i.e. party name). If it has any other mythical properties I wouldn't know about it.

Is it possible to apply some kind of filter to the whole game which would give somehow more grimy, washed out and brownish feel ?
And if yes, how ?

You can batch-process all textures. Or you can add brownish fog for all scenes via mission templates for less noticeable (and not such washed out, only brownish) effect, but  easier to put ingame.

Or you can simply tinker with your display gamma settings and such 

 

[Silver Wolf]

You can batch-process all textures.

How can I do that ? By editing materials in brf files ?
Thanks for the answers btw.

Edit : so it's not possible to change the color of daylight ?

By external graph editors, that allow batch processing of DDS files. Dunno about Photoshop, but I'm pretty sure GIMP can do batch processing

Edit : so it's not possible to change the color of daylight ?

Oh, yes, I forgot about daylight! Indeed it's much better than any colored fog. You should tweak skyboxes.txt in data folder, color of uniform scene lighting is there (was it made moddable in latest WB, btw?)

 

[Lumos]

Skyboxes.txt was made moddable.

Thanks a lot GetAssista & Lumos... I hope that I'm going to achieve the effect which I've had in mind...

Check your build path in module_info. You might have messed it up.

And check that the /my mod/ folder actually exists.

And make sure that your path ends with a /

Is it possible to merge two scenes into one?

Copy and paste object layout/composition from once scene to another?

Is there any way to get all of the items an agent has currently equipped? (I need to tell if an agent/player (multiplayer) has more of one type of item and if they have a weapon space free)

Might a server-side bit of code using
player_get_item_id                  = 422 # (player_get_item_id, <destination>, <player_id>, <item_slot_no>) #only for server

embedded in a try_for_range loop going through the ek_item_0 to ek_head (for weapons) or ek_food (for all equipped things) work?

 

[MadocComadrin]

No, that operation returns -1 over all of those slots
