[TOOL] Changeling - X3:TC Editor and Change Manager [v2.8.1 - Sa-07-May-2011]

[Advent1s]

Same behaviour unfortunately.

[Litcube]

I don't know what the 2506 is, but you might want to try changing that one too. See how that goes.

[Advent1s]

It includes something about spirit industries which is an AWRM thing i believe.

An article for encyclopaedia i believe, doubt it has any effect on OBS.

[dillpickle]

Think your problem could be with OBS.

Code: Select all

<scriptvalue datatype="object" datavalue="{{param@OBS Cue}.Temp Ship}"/>

Should be:

Code: Select all

<scriptvalue datatype="object" datavalue="{object@{param@OBS Cue}.Temp Ship}"/>

[Litcube]

Thanks Dill. If that's the issue, it'd odd that my own game is spawning the weapons just fine. I even tested the parameter by writing it to the log in game.

In any case, Advent, I made the modification suggested by Dill. Try this:

[Advent1s]

Ah definitely suspected an error like that.

I must be really unlucky, still doesn't want to work.

Really makes no sense, am i supposed to activate the Script editor or something?

Mind you its a bit late to bother with this at the moment, will do something later.

[Litcube]

Have you not activated the script editor? If it's not activated, the setup script might not be firing. It's been so long, I don't remember.

[Sam L.R. Griffiths]

Roger, are you sure the T file don't need the language extension?

Yes - absolutely positive.

The definition in the xxxx.xml/pck file is used by ALL locales if they can not find an appropriate definitin in a xxxx-Lxxx.xml file. Since there is no reason for any of the strings in the 8387 file to be regionalised there is no need for the -Lxxx extension.

Besides which, there is no mention of the "loads of error messages" that I would be expecting if a relevant file was missing.

[Sam L.R. Griffiths]

I don't know what the 2506 is, but you might want to try changing that one too. See how that goes.

I *strongly* advise against such suggestions. It is totally unnecessary.

The 2506 file is the externalised string file that is used by the script to enable translation in the future.

[Sam L.R. Griffiths]

Script Editor activation is not required. I never run a modded game with it active unless I am debugging/writing scripts and even then the scripts get tested without it active before release.

Slightly OT:

@Advent1s noticed you have the TC dvd in your drive, TC since 2.5 has no CD patch installed

[/OT]

What if you try a new game? I.e. start a new game and try a mission in a new environment?

I think they were starting a new game (recommended after installing EES for the first time - generally not necessary for upgrades)

[Advent1s]

I did a new game for every time i was testing these silly xenon/pirates who simply wont add weapons.

Is this supposed to happen "<run_script script="Lib.Gen.EquipShip" object="null">
<scriptargs>" ?

Ok, rather than running over the same ground over and over let us try a slightly different tack.

Can you do the following please:-

1. Download and install Changling
2. Run Changeling and import your game data
3. Then import your installed EES configuration file
4. Save the session
5. Upload the session file and post a link to it here.

[Sam L.R. Griffiths]

Is this supposed to happen "<run_script script="Lib.Gen.EquipShip" object="null">
<scriptargs>" ?

Nope. Did you get that after installing LitCube's latest trial OBS.xml file over the top of the one that comes with EES v2.2?

EDIT: Forget that

[Advent1s]

Oh no i was just looking in OBS if something was out of place or something, probably silly because i don't script at all.

Was it just import the X3tc directory, then import the t file in there?

Just incase.

[Sam L.R. Griffiths]

I think I know what the problem with the OBS script is...

It is missing two parameters to Lib.Gen.EquipShip

Script Lib.Gen.EquipShip
Version: 718
for Script Engine Version: 44

Description
Litcube's EES: Select equipment
Arguments
1: LaserRank , Var/Number , 'Laser rank (1-10000)'
2: ShieldRank , Var/Number , 'Shield rank (1-100)'
3: TuningRank , Var/Number , 'Tuning rank (1-100)'
4: MissileRank , Var/Number , 'Missile rank (1-100)'
5: Ship , Var/Ship , 'Ship'
6: LaserMask , Var/Number , 'Laser Exclusion Bit Mask'
7: MissileMask , Var/Number , 'Missile Exclusion Mask'

I appologise to everyone, I should have checked the OBS file more closely before incorporating it.

[Advent1s]

Really no problem, found the culprit faster.

Though im not sure if that file is trying to add all weapons to the spawned ship which would cause a conflict, the script is constantly confused...or something else since as i said never scripted.

The problem is not the object="null" bit, but rather potentially the absence of the additional parameters possibly causing the issue. There is no guarentees of course but I will be imminently uploading v2.3 with an ammended OBS and ReadMe based on the issues highlighted so far.

[Sam L.R. Griffiths]

Status Update
Formal release of EES v2.3.

Main changes are:-

• Updated pre-amble in the readme to correctly reflect the EES configuration file name
• Update of the OBS script to include two parameters that was missing from the original.
