So you assume he cannot match their style.. Bad show. Even if they didn't match i am sure they could with minimal effort.

Do you have everything modeled? No then take what you can get! If so then post something to that effect.

Of course what would I know about developing a large project like this one.

[Machinesrocks]

Good point.

[Machinesrocks]

Spring still refuses the existence of this building. Using those pre-made ones didn't seem to work.

[knorke]

There is also a development tab on the first page that showed some early progress on this engine. We're mainly using an irc.

ah, ok. missed that
You might still want to think about an SVN at some point, it is very helpfull if multiple people work on the same project. Everybody always has the latest version of all files, you can browse the source online and just link to files instead of having to copy&paste stuff into chat etc.
Also helps others, like if you had an SVN I would not have to download the whole game and unpack it to look at the building.

[Machinesrocks]

We're using mercurial.

[smoth]

Is it not showing in your build menu?
Can you /give it?
Is it invisible?
Did you check infolog for errors relating to it?

[knorke]

We're using mercurial.

ok. does it have online browsing? link?
that http://www.filedropper.com thing is superslow and takes ages for the few mb.

[Machinesrocks]

Not so sure if you can't access it, but whatever.

This is what I get from my info log, and it doesn't seem to say anything about that specific factory.

[smoth]

Pastebin.org

Also answer the questions. It is rude to ignore people helping you and just barf an infolog.

[knorke]

i downloaded this:
http://www.filedropper.com/openmachines_2

/give lightinfantryfactory
crashes because the .s3o had not texture assigned to it.
(it gets lost everytime you load a model in upspring and you have to reassign. yes it sucks.)
tested it with that temp .bmp as texture and the unit spawns.
does not build anything though because its buildoptions are wrong. (there is no unit named "tank")

[f=0000000] WARNING: removed the "scout1" entry from the "simplefactory" build menu

no idea where that infolog is from.
can not see a "simplefactory" unit in the download or svn.

have to do others things now, good luck.

[smoth]

(it gets lost everytime you load a model in upspring and you have to reassign. yes it sucks.)

Not if you set the texture directory in your upspring config knorke.

Sorry, the unit wasn't in the game, so I couldn't really do anything with it.

Mmk, probably should have tested that. I remember I did though. Thanks.

[Machinesrocks]

For some reason, the factory isn't building the scout. Hmm. I can tell it to build it, but it just puts down a little "1" and nothing happens.

EDIT: In one map, there are two factories stuck in each other, and one is able to spawn a single scout, but no more, since he is in the way. The other map has one factory, but the scout just doesn't spawn. This is... odd.

ANOTHER EDIT: They are trying to spawn in the center of the building, which is odd because I told it to spawn on the pad. I guess the building is blocking their way. Can someone tell me what's wrong with the code?

Code: Select all

--script for the facory
local main = piece "main"
local buildspot = piece "pad"

function script.Create()

end

function script.Killed()

end

--------BUILDING---------
function script.QueryBuildInfo() 
        return pad        --the unit will be constructed at the position of this piece
end

function script.QueryNanoPiece()
        --create a new nano particle at one of the two "nano towers"
        local dice = math.random (1,2)
        if (dice == 1) then 
                return nano1
        else
                return nano2
        end
end

function script.Activate()
        SetUnitValue(COB.YARD_OPEN, 1)
        SetUnitValue(COB.INBUILDSTANCE, 1)
        SetUnitValue(COB.BUGGER_OFF, 1)
        return 1
end

function script.Deactivate()
        SetUnitValue(COB.YARD_OPEN, 0)
        SetUnitValue(COB.INBUILDSTANCE, 0)
        SetUnitValue(COB.BUGGER_OFF, 0)
        return 0
end


function script.StartBuilding() 
        --animation
        Spin (nano1, y_axis, math.rad(200))
        Spin (nano2, y_axis, -math.rad(200))
end

function script.StopBuilding()
        --animation
        StopSpin (nano1, y_axis)
        StopSpin (nano2, y_axis)
end

For some reason, the factory isn't building the scout. Hmm. I can tell it to build it, but it just puts down a little "1" and nothing happens.

1 being the buildprogress bar?
Make sure the factory has all tags for building set, ie workerTime.
Make sure you have resources. If you dont, use
/cheat
/atm
to get 1000 metal+energy

EDIT: In one map, there are two factories stuck in each other, and one is able to spawn a single scout, but no more, since he is in the way. The other map has one factory, but the scout just doesn't spawn. This is... odd.

maybe bad startpositions on that map.
Did you scale up your factory to a size that makes sense or is it still super tiny? supertiny will cause problems.

ANOTHER EDIT: They are trying to spawn in the center of the building, which is odd because I told it to spawn on the pad. I guess the building is blocking their way. Can someone tell me what's wrong with the code?

you refer to the pieces nano1 & nano2 but they are never declared.

[Machinesrocks]

The factory is a big size, and the scout can get built, but the building tries to spawn him in the center. I tell it to make the unit spawn on the "pad" which is the piece of the model on the floor. What are the nano particles anyway? Are they important, or should I just totally remove that part?

[knorke]

nano particles are the default build animation. Small green bubbles that float from the builders tools to his construction. Similiar to how machines had these laser things.
Play a game of http://springrts.com/wiki/Balanced_Annihilation to see.
I think you can you remove that part.

the building tries to spawn him in the center. I tell it to make the unit spawn on the "pad" which is the piece of the model on the floor.

check in Upspring if the origin of the pad (the center, small red dot) is in the center of the piece. I usually add an "empty piece" in Upspring and and construct the unit at that piece.

[Machinesrocks]

I usually add an "empty piece" in Upspring and and construct the unit at that piece.

Oh, that's a very good idea, I'll try that out.

EDIT: Hmm, the empty thing inside of upspring didn't work, so I doubled the size again, and that didn't help either. =/

[knorke]

eh, your script is wrong:
local buildspot = piece "pad"

--------BUILDING---------
function script.QueryBuildInfo()
return pad --the unit will be constructed at the position of this piece
end

[Machinesrocks]

eh, your script is wrong:
local buildspot = piece "pad"

--------BUILDING---------
function script.QueryBuildInfo()
return pad --the unit will be constructed at the position of this piece
end

Yup, that's what I had it set to afterward. It still doesn't seem to work.

check in Upspring if the origin of the pad (the center, small red dot) is in the center of the piece. I usually add an "empty piece" in Upspring and and construct the unit at that piece.

The red dot certainly is at the center.

[Machinesrocks]

Again, sorry for double posting. Never found a way to delete the old posts.

Is there a better way for me to be figuring out these problems than to be posting on the forums? Maybe a guide of some sort that could tell me why things don't work/crash? I feel stupid having to go on the forums whenever I get a problem and can't fix it.
