How do you add XL mode? I looked at the tutorial on how to add hunt mode, thinking they'd be the same, but I suppose not. I got these error while munging: I suppose I ought to mention that my XL is a misison script that I made with the MIssion Scripter, then added a few lines. What's the problem? I'm not good at reading error logs.

See it? That points to line 566 of your lua. If you open it in an editor like Editplus you can go to that line and see the problem. If you can't fix it, then go ahead and post your lua.

It looks like your RCHg_eli.lua is bad too.

Post your lua.


EDIT: Rep was faster. >.<

Ok, I found out that the first four errors were cause by a badly placed ActivateRegion line. Those are fixed. Still, I get this while munging:
My Campaign (XL) LUA:
And I removed the RCHg_eli from the addme.lua. I don't need it, anyway.

EDIT - Word has a "Go to line" ability. Could I use that to find the error, then Notepad to fix it?

EDIT 2 - My Mungelog:

No because the line starts at 0 every time you go to a new page. I really reccomend editplus anyways. You can even download a lua syntax checker to turn comments green, strings pink, numbers purple etc like pro editors.

Going to line 563 with editplus: I'm thinking maybe you should delete that? (also see how knowing exactly what line the problem is on is a really big help?)

Wierd....are you sure that the "reset-line-count-at-every-page" thing is true for Office Word? I hit ctrl+g, typed in 563, and it took me straight to that line. Anyway, why should I delete that? I took that straight from the tutorial on making a teleporter. Granted, I found a few problems with that tutorial; but I've never had an issue with that line before.

But then also granted, I haven't set up many teleporters before. Still, the first one I got working, so I know the process. Won't deleting that just deactivate the teleporter?

Still I'll try what you say, you being a far more advanced scripter than I am.

Oh not delete, I'm sorry, I didn't see the on enter region
I think it should be like that. The name of the region comes at the end, not the beginning.

And maybe my Word is different, whatever works for you!

Edited, cleaned, remunged, and it still insists something's wrong, this time with another teleport line. My error log says

My Word finds line 578 to be But that line has no " so I'm assuming my Word's off by some amount. As such, I have no way of telling which line is the problem, except for manually counting them up.

While I do that, could someone please run it through something like Editplus? We'll see who gets to line 578 first.

1...2...3....

Yeah word is a bit off.
Delete what's in red:
You kept adding the region's name at the beginning, when it only should go at the end.

I forgot to upload an updated LUA. I had already deleted the OnEnterRegion bugs. But as for the comma, why shouldn't I add it to each of the "TeleportRegionX" lines? Why only to "TeleportRegion5"?

EDIT - Added the comma to all 5 of the "TeleportRegionX" lines, got a kick in the teeth:

Delete the commas, I think they're the unexpected symbols.

But...Rep told me to add those, at least the one by the 5th TeleportRegion line. I'll delete all except that one and see what happens.


EDIT - Done that, and I'm back where I was three posts ago with

Ugh, no comma there, sorry, misread it. But can you post a current lua?

It says there's unfinished quotes "" but in my version I see them all completed :/

Ok, the rouge comma was captured and carted away. The result: And the current LUA: And let me take this chance to say thank you for sharing my headache.

EDIT - Since this has mostly been a back-and-forth between you and me, Rep, how about we finish this tomorrow on Xfire? Mine's Fiodis.

Old saying, don't always believe what you read,
Using a different lua editor, SciTE, it came up with this
It is reporting the " after OnEnterRegion( does not have a closing quote. This is down around line 616

It worked!

But the objectives stay in their cages and refuse to come out. No matter how much I coax them, they do not start. The mungelog, the shortest one I've had in a while:
Also there's a few bits about missing geometries and unbuilt props and missing capture regions and such, but meh, you know mungelogs: always complaining. As far as I know, I added all those things. I'll double check those. Getting the objectives to start is more important.

I suppose it's not starting because the game can't find the timer that starts it off. Where is it hiding?

I think you forgot to add the BeginObjectivesTimer() function and related stuff. Just copy a template out of an exist campaign lua and tailor it to yours.

Argh! It's almost working. It's so close to working you can almost feel it. The only Mugnelog message about the script was this: My updated LUA: I can see that StartObjectives () has nothing in the (). But what should be there? I don't want to risk putting in the wrong thing and messing up my LUA, then forget what the right thing was. I assume I have to list the objectives there, but how?

Should it be StartObjectives (Objective1, Objective2, <etc.>)? Or do they have to have quotation marks around them?




EDIT - Can't believe I forgot to ask this. This timer script is copied directly from the Coruscant script for Knightfall. Thus that script also has a StartObjectives () with nothing in the (). So how come it's timer works and mine doesn't?

You are referencing StartObjectives but it is defined no where, so it doesn't exist (a nil value).

Copy one of the definitions of the function from another lua and tailor it to yours.

You must always have: Before you can call it like this You are probably confused with functions such as SetEntityMatrix(charUnit,locDest) which are already defined in the battlefront game itself (or some in other shipped luas).

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. The objectives start, but now that they do, yet another problem is revealed. The first objective, go to the region gotoprime2, works just fine. The second doesn't. I can't understand that, because the mungelog says: The last 3 say that it can't find the region goto1, but goto1 is clearly labeled and placed in the xl layer of ZE. It's name is goto1, it's type is goto1. I don't see why the game doesn't see it.


Also, that first Severity: 3 is listed about 19 times or so. What does it mean?


EDIT - All of the severity: 3's deal with line 158.
