Page & ID + News Question.

Post by giskard »

Hello all.

First of all Thanks to OlisJ for the tips, you put me on the right track bud :)
Not exactly what i was planning but a good first step. PS check your HQ mod on scripters.com, i think it may be corrupt. There is lots of empty txt files that should be xml files when i unpacked your pck files.

Anyway back to my question.

Question: Does the page and Id typically only look in one xml for data eg 44003.xml or are all initialised xml's cataloged so it doesnt matter where the page and id is, the game will find it if it exists ?

EG it will find the ID and page i create in any xml that contains it.

You see I am wondering if BBS news really needs to be in doc 44003.xml because of Reven mentioned in his tutorial. Having it in a custom xml would certainly make more sense. Trouble is, im not sure of the game will find the news if i put it in any other place than the doc that it currently uses.

Your answers will give birth to Noob Net.
Which is basically my online guide made into a script and available as BBS news for new players.

Though not all at once, its a big guide and it needs a rewrite to fit within the game as gaming news :)

So far it looks pretty straight foreward, im just ironing out a few fuzzy areas before i start.

One more question: Will BBS news get saved into a players game and if it does, what happens if i update the script without changing the name later ?

Great idea, I'm 99.9% sure it doesn't matter what file it goes in as long as long as the file's called each time the game's loaded. after all, the command names, error messages and the like for each script are all organised by page and id.
