Attempting to replicate user_script.lvl support

Zerted informed me that the script game_interface.lua inside of ingame.lvl is what detects and runs user_script.lvl files, if they are detected. Since he is not so active I must bring this to open forum and see about getting help elsewhere.
I have tried two things in my game_interface.lua but none are working.
The first attempt is to see if the game can find user_script_1.lvl and attempt to run it. It did not work.
Code: Select all
if ScriptCB_IsFileExist("user_script_1.lvl") then
ReadDataFile("user_script_1.lvl")
end
The second code I tried is just directly reading the file, also did not work.
My contents of user_script_1.lvl are
Code: Select all
OnCharacterSpawn(
function(character)
if IsCharacterHuman(character) then
MissionVictory(1,2)
end
end
)
So if everything were to be working, the game should skip to victory as soon as player spawns, but it's not happening. Thanks for any help!

Does it work to pass in two inputs to MissionVictory? Are you sure your userscript works?

Please add print("userscript 1 entered") at the top of your user script 1 to make sure that it is loaded correctly. Maybe your execute path of game_interface is not the same where your script is.
An other way is to add a output to your if condition, to make sure it returned 1 and not 0.

MissionVictory(1,2) does work and I cannot use print because this mod is for PS2 and it doesn't have debugging.

Try this for loading the script:
Code: Select all
ReadDataFile("user_script_1.lvl")
ScriptCB_DoFile("user_script_1")

Yes! That makes it work, thanks!!!
I have a situation with that code you posted commanderawesome, the game only works when a user script file is found. If there are none found, the game crashes at load screen.
I tried using;
Code: Select all
if ScriptCB_IsFileExist("user_script_1.lvl") then
ReadDataFile("user_script_1.lvl")
ScriptCB_DoFile("user_script_1")
end
But that didn't work. It still crashes if a user script file isn't found.
