Module_troops question

[Dain Ironfoot]

Ok so this is probably daft but I have a troop with it's items

[itm_grey_britches,itm_grey_britchesG,itm_line_tunic_private,itm_brit_line_shako,itm_cartridges2,itm_britmusketmelee,itm_britmusketai1],

but whenever I compile I get the error that itm_grey_britchesG is not defined..

Any ideas why?

An open door, but you didn't forget to define grey_britchesG in module_items right?
That's about as far as my knowledge of the module system goes 

 

[red.murder1]

You probably to define it in the module_items or have a slight spelling error in either

 

[Dain Ironfoot]

No to both. It's definitely defined in module_items. I copied and pasted the name and have used it ingame before with the unofficial troop editor. observe

["grey_britcheG", "Grey Britches with gaiters", [("greybritchesg",0)], itp_merchandise| itp_type_foot_armor |itp_civilian | itp_attach_armature ,0, 15 , weight(1)|abundance(100)|head_armor(0)|body_armor(0)|leg_armor(2)|difficulty(0) ,imodbits_cloth ],

 

[red.murder1]

They are different =D
You have itm_grey_britchesG in the troop file and ,itm_grey_britcheG in the items file

 

[Njiekovic]

No to both. It's definitely defined in module_items. I copied and pasted the name and have used it ingame before with the unofficial troop editor. observe

["grey_britcheG", "Grey Britches with gaiters", [("greybritchesg",0)], itp_merchandise| itp_type_foot_armor |itp_civilian | itp_attach_armature ,0, 15 , weight(1)|abundance(100)|head_armor(0)|body_armor(0)|leg_armor(2)|difficulty(0) ,imodbits_cloth ],

Well, look at the first term of that line: "grey_britcheG".
If you turn that into "grey_brithesG" you might have more luck.

Edit @red.murder1: ****, you beat me to it

 

[Dain Ironfoot]

Ah sorry, no thats not is as well, that was because I was experimenting with renaming the item, my module troops currently had that name as well. I thought that perhaps the name was too long or something.

Ah sorry, no thats not is as well, that was because I was experimenting with renaming the item and obviously mispelled it when I reverted it. I thought that perhaps the name was too long or something.

Damn! And I thought I was so smart. I'd take out all references to that item and add them back in afterwards. You're bound to have made some spelling error somewhere.

 

[Dain Ironfoot]

I've only tried adding it to one troop so far.

Really, it is a mystery 

 

[FrisianDude]

You did save the item.py after adding the grey britches?

 

[Dain Ironfoot]

The item file has been around for ages so yes 

 

[FrisianDude]

Yeah, it was a last straw. A very last an improbable one, but I couldn't, and can't, come up with anything better.

 

[Shik]

I think I know why.

It's because you used a capital letter.

Instead of "grey_britchesG," try "grey_britches_g" in both module_items.py & module_troops.py.

There's a similar problem with the Military Scythe in Native - you can't give it to any troop without having to rename the item in module_items.py - it's because it has a dash in it (spear_e_2-5m). Appears you can't use capital letters either.

 

[Dain Ironfoot]

I'll give it a go.

No that doesn't work either.... aaaaaarg I really can't see a damn thing wrong with it.

 

[FrisianDude]

Have you tried (this might not help) rewriting that line and deleting the old one?

 

[Dain Ironfoot]

I rewrote the item line.. works now.. No idea why though! Sorry to take up your time guys.

 

[FrisianDude]

Odd.. but well, great!

 

[ealabor]

yeah..

itm_grey_britchesG and what you posted for the module_items is completely different. Of course you mentioned you were testing renaming the term, i'd look over it again though.

1. Also what you need to consider is if you have a duplicate entry of the item in module_items.
2. As mentioned the item reference in module_items cannot be caps or it will fail to compile. That could explain which it's not recognized in troops.
3. Is the equipment on any other troops? maybe a hero and you are just forgetting a comma?

Run a search for the entries in both troops and items and see what you come up with.

Failing that sometimes it's just the simple things - "codding" into a backup python file (done it a few), not saving the changes, etc..

 

[ealabor]

oh **** there was two pages to this thing..

guess I should have read the other one which contains mention where you fixed it before posting suggestions haha 

Anyways maybe some noob will come along and find it useful.
