anyone know whats wrong?

EDIT:
sorry, fixed. just needed to reinstall .net 3.5 (not the package included with mission editor, whatever that one is)

[quantum]

The included setup is the .Net 3.5 framework, minus the stuff you usually only find in servers. Looks like I strayed off client territory. I'll remove that file, in the next version.

i feel stupid, how do i start a project?

[Licho]

By reading the first post first :) BA is not supported atm.

[quantum]

I should probably filter mods known to break.

Updated the first post with the list of supported mods.

When Evolution RTS or P.U.R.E. get their Lua fixed for missions, let me know and I'll add them to the list.

[Argh]

I have fixed your Lua so that my Missions work, and fixed my Lua so that Missions work. I'm using a custom template at this point, basically, but your stuff works great at this point.

Does that count?

[TheFatController]

I should be able to get BA working on it, but I'd like even a hint of support first cause all I know so far is "if it ends up used mainly by BA the project is dead".

[Beherith]

Then wait till they iron out the kinks :)

[CarRepairer]

It was deliberately coded to break with BA, remember?

New version: http://files.caspring.org/missioneditor ... itor24.zip
The source can be, as usual, found here: http://trac.caspring.org/browser/trunk/ ... ionEditor2

It doesn't use unitsync.dll anymore. This means that it should now work on 64 bit operating systems.
It also supports many more image formats. It can load XTA now and generate missions for it, but the XTA Lua expects a commander to be present.

It counts When your fixes are ready to be made public, I can add PURE to the list.

[quantum]

Here is the mission editor tutorial from the springzine, in case anyone interested missed it:

Thanks for removing the Unitsync need, I can use it now. Good job.

<3 the "Edit Groups" screens :)



I dunno if Thor is online, but it would be good to ask him some suggessions , cause he did a great job about his mod and he made a lot of pretty good missions with the old lua-startscripts. Btw, Quatum is the man.

Whoops, sorry, hadn't read this. My changes are attached. Please keep in mind that this probably makes my changeset incompatible with others' mission coding efforts.

I took out the "delete everything that's Gaia when the Mission ends", for example, because that wipes out World Builder stuff.

Oh, and btw... is there anything regarding Capture in the latest version? I'd really like that, it would make making the training missions that much easier. Just askin', I know that's very specific to P.U.R.E., but you never know, maybe someone will build a C&C clone as a P.U.R.E. mod someday.

[Argh]

Here's a quick example of using a Custom Command to set up Factories. Just create the Factories, set up a Patrol path and turn Repeat on, put this into mission_runner.lua in the appropriate place, and voila. Or don't use Repeat, and you can do a very specific build order.

I must say, though, this is near the top of my list of things I wish that the Mission Editor could do in a more... intuitive way.

Code: Select all

 if action.name == "FactoryOrders" then
	local foundMatch = 0

	local guncraftID
	local interceptorID
	local heavy_shellID
	local sniper_shellID
	local artillery_shellID

	for myID,_ in pairs (UnitDefs) do
		if UnitDefs[myID].name == "guncraft" then
			guncraftID = myID
		end
		if UnitDefs[myID].name == "interceptor" then
			interceptorID = myID
		end
		if UnitDefs[myID].name == "heavy_shell" then
			heavy_shellID = myID
		end
		if UnitDefs[myID].name == "soldier_shell" then
			soldier_shellID = myID
		end
		if UnitDefs[myID].name == "sniper_shell" then
			sniper_shellID = myID
		end
	end	
            	for i,unitID in ipairs(Spring.GetAllUnits()) do
		
		local ud = Spring.GetUnitDefID(unitID)
		if UnitDefs[ud].name == "landfactory" then
			foundMatch = 1
			Spring.GiveOrderToUnit(unitID, -heavy_shellID, {}, 0)
			Spring.GiveOrderToUnit(unitID, -soldier_shellID, {}, 0)
			Spring.GiveOrderToUnit(unitID, -sniper_shellID, {}, 0)
		end
		if UnitDefs[ud].name == "airfactory" then
			foundMatch = 1
			Spring.GiveOrderToUnit(unitID, -guncraftID, {}, 0)
			Spring.GiveOrderToUnit(unitID, -interceptorID, {}, 0)
		end
	end
		if foundMatch == 0 then Spring.Echo("Found NO MATCHES!") end
          end

The LuaUI doesn't handle PauseEvents correctly. If you schedule multiple messages, then they all get shown at once. I'm going to try and write a fix

[Tobi]

It can load XTA now and generate missions for it, but the XTA Lua expects a commander to be present.

I think (not explicitly tested), setting modoption "comm" to "zeroupgrade" may make it work without a commander.

ie. put the following in the [modoptions] section of the startscript for the mission:

Code: Select all

comm=zeroupgrade;

Request: Factory orders. So I can make the factory build something you know.
