I am however good a trouble shooting
Yeah and I'm good at shooting in BF2
Ok, cheesy joke
I guess at this point this is a bit of an embarrasing question...I don't know exactly what the Dofiles lines do so I wouldn't know what exactly I'm looking for...
Oh and in that link I posted, there are some steps to adding turrets to frigates that include stuff non-IBC_Diet Dr. Pepper LUA related. Should I be doing these other things to?

The Dofile do this, they are calls to other LUAs (these are examples not yours)
Code: Select all
ScriptCB_DoFile("setup_teams")
ScriptCB_DoFile("ObjectiveSpaceAssault")
ScriptCB_DoFile("LinkedShields")
ScriptCB_DoFile("LinkedDestroyables")
ScriptCB_DoFile("LinkedTurrets")
these are all in the root of the script directory, the same directory where your world script directory and files are located. So it executes each in turn.
Yes you should follow the tut in the link xwingguy is really good at scripting and trying to follow what he has laid out would be your best bet to start.
I will try to help when and if I can.
(I shoot better ha ha)

Ok, I finished following Xwing's steps and changed my IBC_Diet Dr. Pepper LUA back to its original form (with all the turrets and pieces on one line except it uses "LinkedFrigateCIS" and has a seperate line for "LinkedFrigatCIS: Init () or whatever its called). I think we are finally getting somewhere

Ok, this is a question I hate to ask, but: you didn't happen to delete/rename/change-file-extension-of any files in data_IBC/Common/Scripts, did you? The log is saying it can't find these files, so I'm guessing one of these things happened to those files.
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:32 pm

Yeah I changed LinkedDestructables to LinkedFrigates because thats what Xwing's guide said. I didn't see anything important in there...it was just a short tutorial on making stuff destructable in the LUA or whatever
But I didn't change anything else

Go to your data_???\Common\Scripts folder and copy the LinkedDestroyables.lua file you will find there and paste it any other folder. (So we don't accidently overwrite LinkedDestroyables.)
Go back and fix things so this step is followed, then see what happens. You're supposed to have a new file based on LinkedDestroyables, rather than replacing it.

Ok well I copied the LinkedDestroyables LUA over from another data_ABC/Common/Scripts folder (the contents were identicle) and put it in its corresponding position...but the BF2_log is still claiming that it couldn't find LinkedDestroyables, LinkedShields, and ObjectiveSpaceAssault even if they were all there

O_o Ok, this is officially getting a little over my head, now. Is there any difference between the names called and the actual filenames? This is the only thing I can think of at the moment.

I believe this problem has taken a bizzare twist. I created a new space world and copied the missing documents to data_IBC/Common/Scripts. I then edited the LUA. I think I understand what you all were saying in the beginning: the Munge won't read past a certain number of characters. Apparently, this number is 324 characters (thats the number of characters between the beginning of the line and the '2' in cis_turr_82). The Munge thought that the line ended there and that I forgot to put a bracket but it didn't bother to read the full line. I deleted all the characters between the bracket from "cis_turr_76" to "cis_turr_82". By coincidence the number of characters left was exactly 324 characters. When I munged, it no longer gave me any error about the LUA.
However, I am still receiving the Message Severity 3s in the BF2_Log saying the LinkedDestroyables, LinkedShields, and ObjectiveSpaceAssault are still missing
So I solved half the problem
(I'm just gonna have to cut down on the number of turrets on my frigate
)

Ok here's whats up.
First I created a new space world and copied over the "missing" documents (again) to data_IBC/Common/Scripts. Then I deleted my LinkedFrigate LUA. Then I copied the LinkedDestroyables LUA to My Documents and there I edited the contents and renamed it to LinkedFrigates just as Xwing specified.
I read what Xwing said about the mission.req. It turns out that I put that ScriptCB_DoFile("LinkedFrigate") thingy in the mission.req instead of "LinkedFrigate" (I knew that looked funny)
It seems I have solved all the problems but when I munge and do the BF2_Log, it
still crashes
And the log isn't showing me anything at all

Have made a lot of changes to to your map before testing? If so, check those changes. Even the slightest syntax error can cause a crash.

This bolded line...might it have something to do with this line that I put in the cmn LUA file?
ScriptCB_Dofile("LinkedFrigate")

Maybe, the Dofile it can't find is one of the first two because the error was still there when you were getting the can't find errors for the scripts. Try commenting out the ScriptCB_Dofile(LinkedFrigate) in the cmn lua and see if the error goes away. If that doesn't change it try commenting out the first two dofiles lines in the IBCc_Diet Dr. Pepper.lua one at a time. It may most likely give you another error but you can see if the nil value one goes away.
Edit: Other thing that just came to mind is where is the linkedfrigate lua, in the common/script directory or in common/script/IBC directory?

Ok I have some big news:
1) I moved the LinkedFrigate LUA out of data_IBC/Common/Scripts and then munged -- no difference
2) So I moved the LinkedFrigate LUA back in and then opened the cmn LUA file and deleted the suspect DoFile(LinkedFrigate) line -- and the map works!
So now I'm wondering how I would get it to read both DoFile lines without crashing

Just for kicks what happens if you put the DofileLinkedFrigate line in the IBCc_Diet Dr. Pepper.lua right below the other ones?

Add that line to the _Diet Dr. Pepper LUA and it crashes again

Post the linkedfrigate lua then lets see if it has a error in it.

Its ScriptCB_DoFile(), not ScriptCB_Dofile().

Don't I feel like a DoFus for not noticing that

No in the LUA, It has DoFile with a capital F. I was just trying to identify the line.
THe LinkedFrigate LUA? Its the exact same thing Xwing wrote
--
-- No longer Pandemic's, xwingguy wrote this code.
-- That means if you use this, you MUST include me in your credits.
--
-- Also this code assumes that your Frigate Turrets have no destroyed geometry
--------------------------------------------
LinkedFrigate =
{
TurretList = nil, --List of turret names that must be destroyed when the Frigate is destroyed
Frigate = nil, --Name of the frigate (duh)
New = function(self, o)
o = o or {}
setmetatable(o, self)
self.__index = self
return o
end,
Init = function(self)
local DestroyFrigate = function(list)
for _, obj in ipairs(list) do

KillObject(obj)
