Title: Problem modding
Post by: cybninja on January 21, 2013, 04:32:50 am
Hi all,

I am currently creating a mod of Freespace 2, I added fighters, ships and weapons (some coming straight from the excellent mod Inferno) but àavant selecting my player I have a small dialog box which tells me that I have 44 errors.

I can not find errors that I displayed. I have a hypothesis I may be too many hunters and vessels (52 fighter / bombers and add three vessels).

Thank you in advance for your help, I hope not to be mistaken forum.

PS: I use google translation because I have a bad english, I'm french: p

If you want to know what are your errors, use a debug build.

It is generally a bad idea to mod with a release build, which tends to try and ignore issues that you want solved when building your modpack.

------

Si tu veux savoir quelles sont tes erreurs, utilise un exe "debug".

C'est généralement une mauvaise idée de modder avec un exe "release" qui a tendance à ignorer certains problèmes qu'il vaudrait mieux résoudre lorsque tu construit ton mod.

You should have a separate executable with the word "DEBUG" in the name. Please use that one, and then post your fs2_open.log. More info can be found here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=56279.msg1180359#msg1180359

Thx all. I see the problems :D

I go to repare it

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, my errors have disappeared thanks, again, for your help.

I have another question about the game, and so on it is doable, I would like to know if there was a way to allow players to purchase the hunters?

If there is no way not just say it will go no further.

Thank you in advance

Do you mean purchasing fighters? Well, in theory, you could do that. That would be very high level FREDing however.
Basically, you'd need a campaign persistent variable and a "hub mission" with a decision mechanism. You'd write the player's amount of money to the variable, adding to it the value of each money-making action performed, then when players triggers the purchase of a fighter, subtract it's price from the variable and allow the newly purchased ship using "allow-ship" SEXP. That's the basic idea, while it sounds fairly simple, the implementation would be rather complex.

Hum ... I see. Well with this explanation, I think I'll have me lean a little more on the issue in the end.

I will see if in the end it is a good or bad idea I had.

In any case, thank you anyway

A good way to get accurate translations of certain words is to use wikipedia:
-->look for the word you want to translate, for instance, the french word chasseur (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avion_de_chasse).
-->on the left of the page, click on the language of your choice, for instance english.
-->and voilà, here is your translated word (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighter_aircraft).

Hello everyone.

I'm come back in order to have a little assistance to advance in my MOD.

I would require, initially, of French-speaking person if there is here so that I can detail the world in my native language and in addition to have the assistance which I search.

In the second time I seek, in the French-speaking team, of people knowing to use the software such as FRED or AniBuilder. (personally FRED I leave myself but to have the assistance there to make the missions would be the welcome)

In order to contact me want to me MP so that I give you all the information necessary.

Thank you in advance, I hope that I was not mistaken in place to make my announcement if not moved it where it must be.

Excusez mon mauvaise français, mais as tu lu le wiki? http://hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/List_of_FRED-related_topics
C'est en anglais, et il ne pourrait pas être utile, mais il y a beaucoup d'articles sur FRED.  Il est organisé selon les thèmes, et l'articles pourrais tu aider à determiner entre ce qui peut et ne peut pas être fait.  Certaines choses (acheter "hunters", par exemple) ne sont pas impossible, mais ils peuvent être très difficile, si tu n'as pas une bonne compréhension de FRED

-------

Pardon my bad French, but have you read the wiki?
It's in English, so it might not be helpful, but it has plenty of articles on FRED. It's organised according to subjects, and they can help you figure out what you can and can't do in FRED. Somethings (like buying ships) are not impossible, but they can be very difficult if you don't have a really good understanding of FRED.

Thx for your help Solatar.

I am not read yet the bond which you provided. I will look with interest.

But even without that I cannot only do everything. it is well to have the ideas but I miss certain competence. From where the request for assistance.

thank you nevertheless.

And for your French you are forgiven. I suspect well that of speaking in another language is not obvious for anyone
