JKC wrestles w/EZ Script

[JKCarrier]

This isn't specifically an EZScript question, but I'll throw it out here anyway, since it relates to my mod:

I'm having trouble getting FFX swaps to work with my built-in characters. Here's the ffxcustom.py entry:

Code Select Expand

["batgirl","speedincrease","throw","batgirl judo toss"],
["batgirl","energise","grapple","batgirl wrestling hold"],
["robin","energise","tangle","robin bat bola"],
]

Instead of the swaps, they're just doing energize and speed increase.

Here's the script.log:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[Previsionary]

Nothing looks wrong with your state swaps and nothing in the script.log points out any errors on that end (of course, I did just glance it). Have you tried running the powerID generator? Do your stateswaps work in rumble room at all?

[JKCarrier]

Ah, I knew I was forgetting something. Running the Power ID fixed it. Thanks!

[JKCarrier]

My first mission is working well, so I moved on to mission 2...and of course, ran into problems right away.   

My hero isn't spawning. When you go to select your squad, he's right there on the list (there's only one hero available for this particular mission), but once the mission starts, it skips the initial cut scene and goes right to the first encounter, with no hero present.

It might be a map problem. The one I'm using (the "Witness" mission from the FFv3R campaign) wasn't EZScript-ready, so I had to add the "skirmishspawn" and "encounter1", "encounter2", etc. markers myself. I also deleted all the Centurions, Nazis, and other enemies, as well as some objects that I didn't want on there. Maybe I messed something up in the process?

I'm using the same map for the base screen as the mission. Is that a no-no?

Here's my EZScript:

[Previsionary]

Do you have a "hero_1" marker laid out anywhere? That has to be placed for heroes not directly placed on the map so that they have somewhere to spawn. Also, yes. You can use the same map for both the base and actual mission with no problems.

[JKCarrier]

The map had the "hero" markers on it, and I took them off, because I thought that's what the "skirmishspawn" was for.    It's working now, thanks again!

Stay tuned for more dumb questions... 

[JKCarrier]

In a "Disarm Bomb" encounter, what's the proper syntax for marking the bomb with an arrow? I tried "Yellow Arrow on Bomb", "Yellow Arrow on Bomb1", "Yellow Arrow on Object1", and even "Yellow Arrow on alarmbox" (the object template name), and none of 'em worked. I guess if all else fails, I could just put the arrow on the villain guarding it, but I was wondering if there was a correct way to do it.

[M25]

You can't attach an arrow directly to the bomb.  Yeah, put it on one of the villains or on a nearby object.

[JKCarrier]

That'll work. Thanks, M25!

A question about EZ Script Editor: When I tried to generate captions for my latest mission, I got a pop-up box with the message:

Code Select Expand

Manager.Notify: Unable to invoked notify for generate captions --- '"speech"'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 171, in captions
  File "<string>", line 183, in Notify
  File "tested\buildtested\out1.pyz/Edit.manager3", line 88, in Notify
Edit.errors.Error: see previous

Any idea what that means?

[M25]

Urk.  The caption generator didn't work for some reason.

There should be more to that error message if you look back a number of lines in the script.log.  Can I see the rest?

[JKCarrier]

I shouldn't post when I'm tired.  The editor doesn't post anything to script.log.

Make sure you have the editor pointing to the right directory where the language files are stored.  Make sure you don't have any : (colon characters) in the speech.

If that doesn't work, please post your story file.

[JKCarrier]

The editor's pointing to the right directory (I've generated captions for two other missions with no problems), and I don't see any stray colons. Here's the file:

[JKCarrier]

I did some more testing on this. Apparently, it's the "batman says telepathically" lines that are causing it to choke. If I take those out, the captions generate fine.

[JKCarrier]

One more update on the captions thing: I copied my mission file over to the ffx3/stories directory, ran the "Generate Captions" Rumble Room mod, and that worked fine. So I have a workaround, even if the EZScript Editor problem can't be figured out.  

[yell0w_lantern]

The one time I've used that command (says telepathically) it just played as a normal X says.

[JKCarrier]

The one time I've used that command (says telepathically) it just played as a normal X says.

Will a normal "X says" still work if the character isn't otherwise in the mission? I'm using it here to represent a tape recording being played.

[yell0w_lantern]

No. You would either have the put character X somewhere out of sight on the map, use the narrator or you could play an actual sound file.

[JKCarrier]

No. You would either have the put character X somewhere out of sight on the map

Hmm, there's an idea. "No wonder we couldn't find Batman, he was stuck in the wall!" 

[JKCarrier]

Ok, with some nagging encouragement from Benton, I pulled out my dusty mod files and started working on this again. And of course, ran into brand-new errors! 

On a particular encounter, as soon as the Alert Cutscene starts playing, I get the following message printing out on the screen:

NEW CIVILIAN/TANK:RUBY_RYDER.RUN DATFILES.CAMP
NEW CIVILIAN/TANK:ALFRED.RUN DATFILES.CAMP
(this repeats a few times, followed by)
CAMPAIGN.SETMISSING COMPLEX ATTRIBUTES()

and the game starts stuttering, hesitating every couple of seconds.

Here's the EZ script for that encounter (with cheesy dialogue removed):

Spoiler

Encounter: Ruby's Revenge
Type: Chat
Marker: ryder1
Allies: ruby_ryder
Villains: polka_dot_man
Next: Gentleman's Gentleman

Alert Cutscene:

Hero1 says, "blah blah"
Red arrow on ryder1

polka_dot_man says, "blah blah"

Chat Cutscene:

The script.log is huge, full of stuff like this:

I've re-run the Control Centre several times to no avail. (and yes, the Data Folder is set to my mod's directory) Any ideas what's going on here?

[John Jr.]

Check out the "HeroIndexData" and see if these characters are listed with individual numbers. If you classified them as civilians before you run Control Center they won't have "complex numbers" and the game won't be able to load them correctly.
You can check it out in FFEdit too, just open the "Templates" tab and look for "complex" in the "Attributes Overrides" list.
Hope it helps.

[BentonGrey]

Wow.........that is SUPER helpful.  Why didn't my game give me that info when I had those types of errors?  That hardly seems fair.  Anyway, ASSUMING that your issue is indeed what the game seems to be telling you, JJ is right.  You've run into the nefarious civilian error.  Templates set as civilians are ignored by the CC, so you'll need to make sure you have them set as minion, cop, hero, or what have you, in order to ensure they get branded.  You can always change them back to civilians later.

Ack!  I almost forgot!  I'm thrilled to hear you're coming back to it, JKC.  I can't wait to play your mod!  Definitely post if/when you run into any errors, and we'll see you through.

[JKCarrier]

Thanks, John...the "Civilian Bug" was the problem, and switching the object type fixed the encounter.

Now, of course, the next encounter is bugged. As soon as the Alert Cutscene starts, the screen goes into "cutscene mode", but then the game locks up before the dialogue is delivered. Here's the script:

So what'd I screw up this time? 

[BentonGrey]

Alright, there isn't anything in the script.log that jumps out at me, but when I get an error like that, it is usually because I've forgotten something.  My first piece of advice would be to check on the animportraits of all characters involved.  Are they all there?  Do the all point to the right place?  I know I've changed meshes some times and forgotten to update the path, thereby causing just such a problem.  Let me know if that leads to anything.  If not, we'll go from there.

[JKCarrier]

Geez...wasn't even the animportrait, just a missing head.nif.  Working fine now, stay tuned for more goofball mistakes...

[BentonGrey]

Ha, don't feel to bad about it, JKC.  I've had tons of experience with this stuff by now, but I still make those mistakes EVERY SINGLE TIME I start a project!

[John Jr.]

There's so many things we have to do to create a mod that's almost sure we'll forget something, JKC. Please feel free to post here any other problem, after all two or three heads are better than one.
I'm glad to hear you're making a mod, it's great to have other EZScript modder around.

[JKCarrier]

Question about "Switchable Power Trap" encounters: Is it possible to specify where on the map the switch will appear (the way you can control the placement of Villains, Minions, etc.)?

[BentonGrey]

Yes, absolutely you can!  All you have to do is specify a marker for the encounter: place1, and then just like you do with place1_villain1, etc, you can do with switches: place1_switch1.  I hope that's clear!

[JKCarrier]

Awesome. Thanks!
