Dusting of an old Kit project

[Jdracous]

Hello.

 

Its been a while but some years ago I tried to make a cleric kit mod, the Priest of Lolth. I had marginal success but never got it to work completly. Eventually I got distracted and then a computer error cost me many of my old files. Long story short I lost intrest until now and had to restart completly. Trouble is I can't seem to even get as far as I did before. Back when I first worked on it I could get it to install but couldn't get the powers to actually work. This time I can't even get it to install.

 

Here is what I've got so far:

 

BACKUP ~Priest_of_LolthKit/backup~ // so WeiDU can uninstall

AUTHOR ~jdracous@Gmail.com~ // contact address displayed if installation fails

SAY ~priest of lolth~

SAY ~Priest of _Lolth~

SAY ~PRIEST_OF_LOLTH: All hail the spider queen, goddess of the demonweb pits. Lolth is an evil goddess most commonly worshiped by drow elves, but not exclusively. Like Lolth herself, her priests are cold, calculating, and cruel. They enjoy spreading misery and pain but above all they seek to dominate and enslave. Lolth is the superior Deity.

 

Advantages:

 

- May use poison once per day per five levels.

- May cast spider spawn once per day per ten levels.

 

 

Disadvantages:

 

- None

 

 

 

And here is the error message:

I've compared these lines to other kits I've downloaded and know work but can't find the problem. Are there any veterans that could help?

You're missing a tilde (~) at the very end.

[Jdracous]

I don't think that is the problem. None of the other working kits I compared it to have that either. I specifically checked for that before I posted.

 

I did try however and here is the new result:

You definitely need that last tilde, and I am sure they have it as well, otherwise WeiDU would throw up an error.

 

Ensure you're putting the tilde after "None". If that's the case, can you re-post your current tp2 as it stands?

[Jarno Mikkola]

Erhm, these: SAY ~Priest of _Lolth~

SAY ~PRIEST_OF_LOLTH: All ...

 

Should be just the regular:

SAY ~Priest of Lolth~

SAY ~PRIEST OF LOLTH:

All...

[Jdracous]

Oh, Okay, I think I got it now. I was putting th (~) in the wrong place when I added it. Thanks all, I've got more to do but at least its underway again.

Oh, and thank you for pointing out the underscore thing. I've no idea when those are needed and when they aren't.

If anyone has any other tips I'm all ears (or is it eye on a forum?).
