[Mac OS X] Errors prevent mod installation

ericp07 · June 15, 2010

Hello,

Looks like I've messed up some things in my mod files...

Here's what weidu-mac reports when I attempt to install my mod:

WARNING: COMPILE Hinaeari/dialogue/EP#Hin.d with strings from setup.tra

If anyone is willing to help me fix these issues, please let me know if I need to post any code from the files in question. I figure it's necessary to see the code in order to identify the parse errors, for example.

Thanks!

cannot verify trigger ~Local("EP#HinJoined","LOCALS",0)~: Parsing.Parse_error

You always use Global as a trigger or an action, so it's ~Global("MyVar","LOCALS",1)~ and ~SetGlobal("MyVar","LOCALS",1)~.

COMPILE Hinaeari/dialogue/EP#HinB.d with strings from setup.tra

There's a special procedure for traified mods. Don't traify until you've got the code in place.

Embarrassing blunder on the Global/Local issue. Fixed.

Here's the content of EP#HinJ.d, still very much a work in progress! So, it's little more than a lump of clay at this point...

Please advise.

It's an easy fix. Any time you use APPEND FILE, you have to END the APPEND. You're missing the second END after state Option3.

This brings up a minor thing - ~ EXTERN ~NALIA~ 0 ? That is the non-joined dialog file. i am assuming this is a comment when the party first meets Nalia in the CC...

ericp07 · June 16, 2010

Yes, that is for when party first meets Nalia.

So, the decompiled EP#HinJ.d shown above...should that be the entire content of the file, replacing what's already there?

Edit: The link wasn't there when I read this the first time, but now it is, so I'll d/l and check out the attachment.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, I saved a copy of the test .d file as EP#HinJ.d, copied my original file of the same name elsewhere, then replaced the file in my dialogue folder with the renamed test file. Attempting to then install the mod with weidu-mac results in the following errors:

Clearly, I still need to train myself for what all to spot with such errors, as I'm currently unable to identify the problem in the coding. Please help!

#1 - check to make sure the .d and .tp2 are saved as Mac not Windows

#2 - Try the attached whole package above; if the mod folder "testing" with the contents

setup-testing.tp2

subfolder "backup" (empty)

subfolder "dlg" (testing.d)

doesn't work, we may need to get Steve or the bigg involved for a recheck.

Weidu-mac should not be choking on APPEND ~EP#HinJ~ or looking for .tra references in an un-traified file, so something seems odd - either hidden ascii characters or nulls, or some other strangeness -

I could also save as Unix. That's what I do for all my .d and .tp2 files. Encoding options might also be important. I reopened the file, and found that it was corrupted; it was saved as Windows, with Western encoding, so I opened the original again, renamed it, and saved it as Unix with Unicode-8 (no BOM) this time...whatever all that means

OK, I'll drop the extracted package into my BGII game directory, and install it with weidu-mac...and see what happens.

What's next?

cmorgan · June 16, 2010

Well, if that worked, the next step is to see hwat it is you have done differently with your .tp2

If you don't have a temporary site, go ahead and email it to cmorganbg at gmail dot com, and I will take a look and see what the differences are. Toss me the whole thing .rar'ed (minus the setup-mymod.exe) and i can try to do an install on Windows and see if anything pops up.

berelinde · June 16, 2010

Something occurs to me here. I'm wondering if part of this is the Mac CR/LF issue.

According to Nythrun, you can code an entire mod on one line, but I'm not sure whether that applies to D files as well as scripts and tp2s.

ericp07 comments out his lines with // because he doesn't like /* */, but // comments out the entire line. If you're doing a CR without a LF, what would happen?

Mike1072 · June 16, 2010

ericp07 comments out his lines with // because he doesn't like /* */, but // comments out the entire line. If you're doing a CR without a LF, what would happen?

Probably something bad. When one of my .tp2 files was turned into Mac format recently, WeiDU couldn't parse the comments correctly.
