I go ingame with nullai and do /luarules buildicons all without cheats and get no response (no response from "buildicon" either).

According to

It should at least report that cheats aren't enabled.

Obviously, with cheats on the results are no different.

Infolog reports no errors.

Any ideas?

http://code.google.com/p/evolutionrts/source/browse/

include("LuaRules/Configs/","icon_generator.lua")

got that file too?

Yeah, its there.

put both files in mah mod, did /luarules buildicons all
some error about corrad nil blabla
went to config, replaced unitConfigs= with this:


now it complains about some missing background image.

probally it will want this too later on:
--// faction colors (check (and needs) LuaRules/factions.lua)

anyway, it "does stuff" though to properly work it needs more files.
dunno why it does nothing for you, either you did not notice the errors in infolog or something steals your /luarules message

I have tried deleting all other gadgets, and all other widgets in the hopes that maybe something was stealing the luarules message, but no dice.

It doesn't error knorke. It loads and then does nothing.

Infolog: http://pastebin.com/5E1cdFP4

Unfortunately the infolog doesn't record the commands I give.

/luarules buildicons all

did /luarules buildicons tptank and found this in spring-88.0-release\buildicons\_5to4_64x64:

in infolog it only said:
so it does not talk much.

i only did whats written in previous post + copy in (accidently the wrong ) background image.

dunno..

not in the posted infolog though..

I also tried emptying out all widgets. No dice

No reason to post those infologs because they were the same thing as the above really (minus the widgets/gadgetry being loaded).

http://pastebin.com/pU4d9zue << All units (except commander unit), widgets, and gadgets (except icongenerator) removed.

As you can see... nothing. Wtf is going on?

put in some echos:
quickly looking at it it is not supposed to print anything when it works...

what are all those changes you made?
comments should be like
--[[
--]]

not

--[[
]]--

in lua

--[[
This is a block comment
This comment spans multiple lines
]]--

--This is a line level comment
--Line level comments only span one line

--]] Would result in a line level comment.

Also, doesn't really matter what is in the config, I've tried it a billion different ways.

Toolbox should have a working copy in it

http://spring1944.svn.sourceforge.net/v ... olBox.sdd/

put in something like this:
see if that prints.

Also look for that buildicons\_5to4_64x64\ folder.
When I got it working it just created the icons there, without any message at all. (was a bit surprised)
So if you now test with cheating all the time, it will never print anything but maybe it already outputs files.

Beside that, no idea. The version from zK you linked worked for me and further than that I can only guess...

Why is this double? (some other messages too)

comments:
Both is correct synthax.
Well actually it is
--[[

but there is a useful trick that does not work with ]]-- or ]]

Anyway, that was just funfact


Btw, how long is it supposed to take with /luarules buildicons all ?

/luarules buildicons unitname is almost instant, but now it is hanging spring since 2 minutes and only two icons have appeared so far. Does not seem right?
(i guess from spring hanging you can also tell it is working, though some message would be better)
/edit:
~7 minutes for 54 icons, then spring closed and infolog was cut off. hm.

ALL takes a good while. I usually start it and go eat dinner.

seems it is normal to take some time:

if spring closes before it is done: (because it hangs too long or something?)

now walk that echo throughout the code.

The problem is that it isn't even receiving the /luarules message. That is the very first part of it, so of course if it doesn't receive the message it won't do anything.

Something else is apparently snatching it. I don't understand it though, because whatever is doing it is not a widget or a gadget as I ahve tried removing all widgets and gadget from the game (save the icongenerator).

Now I'm reaching... could it be the custom handlers? (gadget/widget)

1 Million cookies to whoever figures this out :-/ I have tried everything I can think of.

i check-check-checked it out and yes its one/some of the files in LuaRules\ cba to see which one.
deleted all the files in LuaRules\ and replaced with the ones from my mod and then it worked.

Thanks knorke. I did more or less the same thing, but I must not have done it right. I was relying on the engine stuff to replace the important bits and I think I probably just messed up. I'll try again.

I was able to transplant parts of evo into toolbox well enough so that I could get new buildpics, but for a lot of reasons I need it working in evo properly.

I'll report back when I figure out what is blocking it.

Knorke, I've tried replicating what you said you did in many different ways and it still doesn't work. What am i missing?
