FFX3.2 on windows xp pro 64

[bevo]

Wondering if alot of my AI probs are related to running FFX3.2 on xp pro 64. FFX runs well enough, to a point. I noticed just even running the main program without ffx under ffedit i get msgs like this in my ffedit logfile

"00:00:50.90: FFVTTR Edit: Error - CHeroPage: can't find character

Thats without ffx3.2 added or anything else, clean install. With FFX3.2 I get alot of msgs under attributes in the log refering to almost all attribs missing an Enum.

I have it all installed on a drive E:, but I cant figure how that would matter. The game itself runs fine, even ffx3.2 runs ok, however I noticed that the AI refuses to use specials, If I should try and tweak the m25ai files for heroes, all they want to do is beat eachother and throw ranged and area, and I know its not errors in the m25ai.
They wont even use a simple 'TUseRemedy()', to save themselves from death anymore.

I noticed in the ffxmulti.py alot of the combos are written like this ['powercosmic', 'metastrength', 'invulnerable2', 'solarpowered',], meaning there are spaces after the commas. Does this affect things?   
 
Maybe Could having a ton of Fx and a bunch of custom voices mess with ffx3.2? Anyhow hope this made sense to someone, I tried to cram alot of problems in here.

Run a rumble room session and then look in script.log in your  :ffvstr: directory.  There should be an error message in there.

Did you modify ffxmulti.py or one of the other ffx files?  If so, chances are there's a missing comma or bracket or whatever.

I uninstalled and reinstalled everything startin from scratch. The only things I had messed with was I turned on all of taskmasters combos, and made one combo myself, very generic and I checked it a zillion times to make sure I wasnt doin somethin wrong. or maybe i did, here it is.

['thor','flier','grimresolve','shakeitoff','heavylifter','flier','invulnerable2'],

I had turned on all the combos that werent turned on, even sorcerer. I noticed some have spaces after commas in my ffxmulti, and others are written with no spaces. Would that screw things up? I didnt change these nor did i put the spaces in. For example:

['olympiangod', 'ffqimmortal','shakeitoff','heavylifter','fasthealing','fastflier'], has one space after ['olympiangod',  thats how it was installed.

thanks for your expertise m25

[M25]

Spaces outside of the quotation marks shouldn't be an issue.

Did you check your script.log for errors?  It's in the same directory as the ff.log.

Ya here is my log after reinstalling and removing most of the TM  combos,

The only real problems I am seeing anymore is that chars wont use things under AI like Weathercontrol or displacement, if I tweek the AI hero files. Even remedy they quit using, and I dont even touch that, other than that they work great and are doing everything else I tell them to do. If I just run them through your m25 ez AI, they will use all powers. It is after I do tweeking so maybe I am not doin it right, prob not. Here is an example of tweek to the AI. I made for Weather control, trying to make it where only lightning storms are used in battle.

'TWeatherControlHail()',
'TWeatherControlLightning(pct=50,time=3.80,energy=66,mindist=0,maxdist=0,type='enemy',situation=['alone','swarmed'], priority='70')',

even if that is wrong I cant for life of me figure why they wont use 'TUseRemedy()', if I change the script in m25 ai files. They just quit.

[M25]

OK, I see the issue now.

When you modify the AI, you have to be very careful with your quotation marks. 

'TSomething(subtype='abc')',   will not work, due to the way python reads in the lines.

It should be 'TSomething(subtype="abc")',
Notice that I'm using single quotes around the line and double quotes inside of it.

In other words, use one type of quotes for the whole statement, and another type of quotes inside, and be careful not to mix them up.

ok thanks m25 for your help ill give this another shot.
