EZScript campaign folder

[DEATH]

     I recently started trying to make an EZScript campaign (thank you M25!), and one of the first things the instructions say to do is copy the <modname>/missions/ezscriptcampaign directory and rename it to the name of your first mission.  I do not see a folder called ezscriptcampaign in my missions directory, either of my mod or the original install folder of ffx 3.2   The folder instead contains what appear to be all the mission folders of the original FFvT3R campaign.  Is there something obvious I'm missing?

It should be in the next release of FFX 3.2,  but in the meantime, you can get it here:

     Okay, I can at least get it to start up now.  However, it simply starts me into a mission with the initial charcter on the map.  I have a cutscene present, but it doesn't run.

     My Script log reads as follows:

     Now, I can see that it can't find the encounter marker, but the marker is present on the map.

I think you're using my map (oilrigs).  I tested it using the 'on patrol' minimod without problems, but it is entirely possible that I made an error.

I'll double check my file.  In the meantime, did you set your cutscene to run on marker 'encounter 1'?  If that's the case, you'll need to make sure you call 'ENCOUNTER1' (sorry bout the caps).  Make sure there is no space between 'encounter' and '1'.  I don't know if that's how the log prints it, but that would cause your cutscene not to run.

Hope this helps
JM

PS--Please post your solution to this problem.  If it's a map issue, I'll want to make the correction

[M25]

As joemama wrote, it appears you have a
Marker: encounter 1
line in your story and there is no marker called 'encounter 1'

If it doesn't matter where the encounter should be on the map, don't specify the marker.  That way you get built-in randomization and more replayability.

If you want it to be at a specific place on the map, the best way is to add a marker to the map, such as 'starthere1' (notice the 1 after the name) and then use the line
Marker: starthere   
(notice that there is no '1' after the marker name in the EZ script story)

EZ script adds numbers after the marker name you give.  So if you say Marker: encounter, it will look for 'encounter1', 'encounter2', etc. for as many markers as it can find, and then randomly pick one.  If you say 'encounter 1' it will look for a marker called 'encounter 11' which probably doesn't exist.

Yes, I realize as I type this that it's more complicated than it needs to be.  Barring disaster, I'll be releasing a patch this coming week and I'll make it so that the name of the marker on the map can be the same as the name of the marker given in EZ script.

M25, that's it!  That's the reason my Batman missions weren't working.  I'm glad I peaked in here.
