Problems re-naming multiple era`s [Solved]

SkinnyODST · Post by **SkinnyODST** » Fri Nov 11, 2016 10:12 pm

I tried re-naming an era from the 1.3 patch documentation and it went smoothly, however when I tried re-naming a total of 3 eras, there is this problem where even though I don`t get any addme lua errors when munging it, my map disappears completely from the instant action menu. I`ve tried multiple different layouts for my addme lua but none have been successful. How do I successfully rename 3 eras? (including standard CW)

My addme lua (without any changes to era names, maybe its useful to answer my question?)

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]--Search through the missionlist to find a map that matches mapName,

--then insert the new flags into said entry.

--Use this when you know the map already exists, but this content patch is just

--adding new gamemodes (otherwise you should just add whole new entries to the missionlist)

function AddNewGameModes(missionList, mapName, newFlags)

	for i, mission in missionList do

		if mission.mapluafile == mapName then

			for flag, value in pairs(newFlags) do

				mission[flag] = value

			end

		end

	end

end

--insert totally new maps here:

local sp_n = 0

local mp_n = 0

sp_n = table.getn(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = { isModLevel = 1, mapluafile = "CCC%s_%s", era_c = 1, era_m = 1, era_y = 1, mode_con_c  = 1, mode_con_m  = 1, mode_con_y  = 1}

mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1]

-- associate this mission name with the current downloadable content directory

-- (this tells the engine which maps are downloaded, so you need to include all new mission lua's here)

-- first arg: mapluafile from above

-- second arg: mission script name

-- third arg: level memory modifier.  the arg to LuaScript.cpp: DEFAULT_MODEL_MEMORY_PLUS(x)

AddDownloadableContent("CCC","CCCc_con",4)

AddDownloadableContent("CCC","CCCm_con",4)

AddDownloadableContent("CCC","CCCy_con",4)

-- all done

newEntry = nil

n = nil

-- Now load our core.lvl into the shell to add our localize keys

ReadDataFile("..\\..\\addon\\CCC\\data\\_LVL_PC\\core.lvl")

[/code]

It's kinda difficult to troubleshoot if we don't know what your addme looks like *with* the changes. :n

Ok heres the Addme lua with changes

  mapluafile = "CCC%s_%s",

  era_c = 1, era_m = 1, era_y = 1,

  mode_con_c  = 1, mode_con_m  = 1, mode_con_y  = 1,

  change = {

    era_c = { name"Name1" },

    era_m = { name"Name2" },

    era_y = { name"Name3" },

  },

}

mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1]

Code: Select all

    era_c = { name"Name1" },
    era_m = { name"Name2" },
    era_y = { name"Name3" },
  },

No wonder it isn't working, you need to put an equals sign between each name and its value, i.e., it's very very basic algebra (just with strings instead of numbers). Relevant: https://www.lua.org/pil/4.2.html

I highly recommend you watch this so you can better understand how computing works: https://youtu.be/GVnIRt77ePk?t=584
