Modding Q&A [For Quick Questions and Answers]

[Mammoet]

You didn't forget to add the brfs to the module.ini with load_mod_resource did you?

 

[Roemerboy]

I did it. I added it in module.ini at the places of the old .brf files.

 

[Roemerboy]

Anybody has an idea how to fix this problem? 
I wanna release my Beta, but this bug don't let me do this.

 

[Caba`drin]

Have you used openBRF's "check for errors in the module" feature? Clearly one of your models is not tied correctly to a texture and you'll need to track down where that got broken.

 

[Bravo2255]

I tried to add a music file, and this is my error.

You forgot the underscore between vol and 9
vol_9

It's pointing right at it

 

[Bravo2255]

Thanks for the quick reply!  Have a good one!

 

[Bravo2255]

Ok, so I want add my animation of a sword being carried in the air on the horse. I am wondering how I do it. What do I need to assign it to, for it to work?

 

[raeborga]

Does anybody know of a way to load random meshes on an item?

 

[Bravo2255]

What do you mean?

 

[raeborga]

Is there any way to make an item that chooses a random mesh (probably from a selection of meshes defined in items.py) every time you select it or equip it or anything like that?

 

[Caba`drin]

Is there any way to make an item that chooses a random mesh (probably from a selection of meshes defined in items.py) every time you select it or equip it or anything like that?

No. Easier to call code on equip for this special item, then unequip it and re-equip a random item from module_items (or subset list of identically-stat'd items or what-have-you).

Bummer... Was hoping I overlooked something. Thanks for the help!

 

[Somebody]

If the mesh is going to be the same (just with different textures) try applying a tableau mesh to it.

 

[Bravo2255]

Where can I find the formations scripts?

 

[Gambino]

which picture is the loading screen when launching a new singleplayer game or clicking multiplayer it comes a few seconds?

 

[Bravo2255]

The loading screen One and Two. One I am sure is the Loading game texture.

 

[dunde]

Does anybody know of a way to load random meshes on an item?

Give them different meshes for different modifiers (rusty, plain, well made, etc), and randomize the modifier. Well, but the stats will be variated too depend to the modifier.

 

[_Sebastian_]

Ok, so I want add my animation of a sword being carried in the air on the horse. I am wondering how I do it. What do I need to assign it to, for it to work?

The best way to do this is to attach the sword as a scene prop.
Try to do it with these operations.

(agent_set_attached_scene_prop, <agent_id>, <scene_prop_id>)
(agent_set_attached_scene_prop_x, <agent_id>, <value>)
(agent_set_attached_scene_prop_y, <agent_id>, <value>)
(agent_set_attached_scene_prop_z, <agent_id>, <value>)

Have you used openBRF's "check for errors in the module" feature? Clearly one of your models is not tied correctly to a texture and you'll need to track down where that got broken.

Thanks, I will try this tool. -D

EDIT:
This tool gave me this as ERROR:

Now, what does this mean? 

which picture is the loading screen when launching a new singleplayer game or clicking multiplayer it comes a few seconds?

You search after loadscreen2.dds . Loadscreen.dds is the loadingscreen for starting the module.
