Hi all,

Mission editor... sorry

[Silentwings]

I guess forb means, which Mission Editor are you using?

i'm using Zero-K mission editor http://code.google.com/p/zero-k/wiki/Mi ... rStartPage
There are other mission editor?

[Silentwings]

Yes, there are other mission creators/editors/etc.

When I used the ZK mission editor a while back, I think it wasn't possible to create GAIA units, but probably one of the ZK guys can tell you for sure.

If I'm right, the best solution is to make a gadget that spawns the GAIA units you want and then just add that into the .sdz created by the ZK mission editor.

Use the Custom Action (alternate) action (a.k.a. the "Lua it" action).

Code: Select all

local gaia = Spring.GetGaiaTeamID()
local unitID = Spring.CreateUnit(...) -- pass gaia as the team arg here
GG.mission.AddUnitGroup(unitID, "My Group")

edit: fix case in code

Spring.CreateUnit("palmx",100,0,100,0,GetGaiaTeamID())
GG.mission.AddUnitGroup(unitID, "groupa")

where "palmx" is the name of the unit and "groupa" is the group that i assigned to unit...

but i don't found this unit at position of the map..what i wrong?

[KingRaptor]

Any errors in console/infolog?
Try creating the unit with a Y position of Spring.GetGroundHeight(100,100) instead of 0.

hi King,

probably i did a mistake whit the code.

now it work but i used this code:

Code: Select all

local unitID = Spring.CreateUnit("PalmForest006",100,0,100,0,Spring.GetGaiaTeamID())
Spring.SetUnitNeutral (unitID, true)
GG.mission.AddUnitGroup(unitID, "groupa")

and now a palm appear at position 100, 100 of the map and it is a neutral unit of group "groupa" :)

thx for help!!

I need help with zK mission editor. I got it running, but when I want to create a mission it has a empty list of maps and mods. I did set the path to spring.exe correctly, but how can I set the path to maps and mods?

AFAIK it uses the unitsync of the Spring installation you set to find the maps/mods. Does spring.exe find those maps/mods when run directly?

[Jools]

Yes, but it does so using a variable in springsettings.cfg (SpringData = U:/bin/Spring/Data). I have spring.exe installed in C:\Spring, but the maps and mods are in U:/bin/Spring/Data. My C-drive is a SSD drive, so it's not a good solution to put all maps there (they are about 15 Gb)

I tested to create a mods and a maps dir in C:\Spring, and to put 1 mod and 1 map there. Then it finds them, but it crashes on Loading Mod (Unit Definitions).

Here's a pastebin of the error report windows wants to send:

[KingRaptor]

When the crash window pops up, could you click on "Show Error Log" and post the last entry (at the bottom of the file)?

[Jools]

It wants to send 3 files to microsoft. You mean the last of these?

1) WERE9E1.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
2) WER223.tmp.appcompat.txt
3) WER2B0.tmp.mdmp

File 3 is binary. You sure you want it pasted? Here is 1 and 2:

Here's a pastebin from the debug log from windbg, in case it helps:

I'm looking for a text file (My Documents/My Games/Spring/MissionEditorErrors.txt), linked from the dialog box that pops up when Mission Editor crashes. Is it not even getting that? o_O

[PicassoCT]

I always wondered what ObjectOrientatedProblemSolving had to do with it all..

It's not getting to that dialog window, and I don't have such a file on my computer. The error i get is the standard windows error reporting one.

Also, I don't have anything installed under My Games. Mission editor is installed in U:\bin\Spring\Data\games and it has no other file there accompanying it.
