I'll have to watch for that, thanks for the warning Cat/Sylon (:

Check this topic's starter post by Elendil. It contains the link to the page where you can download the PC demo version (under the 'demo' word : ).

Hello everybody! :)

I have a major problem with my expansions. I have created custom base item types and pics and place a few tests inside the expansion world. As I try to start the quest game with my expansion enabled I get error:

TODO: <File description> has stopped working. :(

Does this mean I cannot use custom item types, or could I be missing something? Please reply. :?

I've tried to create a base item type (with the required pics) and separately base item type pics and then changing the base item type's pics to the separately added pics. In either case I had no problems loading the expansion.

Maybe you added too large pictures? To hunt down the problem, you should start with a copy of your expansion which is working, then add one picture at a time to test which one(s) are problematic. If you find one, could you post it's type (gif, jpg, etc.) and dimensions? I can't make it work, but for others who might run into the same problem, it'll be good to know what doesn't work. ;)

I followed the links and I think I have the editor and the manuals. But the cart links to the demo and expansion MSI installer can't find the file. Then I noticed about emailing you. thank you. I would like to get whatever I'm missing to create an expansion. Thank you again.

Elendil,

I'm pretty sure I got all of these correctly.

How do I email you for the full PC version? The purchase option on the page doesn't take you to a cart.

Thanks,
Jesse

@Sylon I sent you a PM about an editor related problem I have but it is in my "Outbox" folder instead of the "Sent Messages" folder.

Edit - Here it is:

Code: Select all
createobjectlist("");
addobjecttolist("alchemy","Alchemy");

addobjecttolist("persuade","Persuade");
addobjecttolist("repair","Repair");
addobjecttolist("stealth","Stealth");
showobjectlist();

}

}
else
{
message("You don't have enough gold.");   
}


It is supposed to allow the player to change the value of their skills and get/lose money depending on the difference between their old and new skill values.

I am a noob at scripting and I'm not really sure if I am even doing this right so far. I tried to use C conversion characters, but I don't think I am using these properly or if they are even appropriate for the editor's scripting language (I heard somewhere that it was similar to C which is why I wrote what I thought was logical), so the script isn't working. :? :lol:

Edit2:
I realise that I am doing the part of the script which chooses skills wrong. I will probably need to use something like if getobjectlistresult()==alchemy skill="Alchemy" but for all of the skills...

Edit3:
I changed the thing from Edit2.

Got it! Can you please copy your message's editor-related part to this forum? So Elendil can check it out easily.

When I get those error messages, I just click Ignore and everything is fine. That doesn't mean it would be fine for you, just saying.

I haven't really used the scripting in The Quest, but let me take a look.

First, AddObjectToList works with object ids. There are ids for the skills (you can look them up in the editor, under "Manage Skills"). However, I'm not sure it'll work, but you can try. So, instead of
Code: Select all
addobjecttolist("alchemy","Alchemy");
use this:
Code: Select all
addobjecttolist("base_alchemy","Alchemy");
etc.

GetObjectListResult is a function. Use function call syntax (parentheses). And of course it returns an object id, so you must check that. Also, GetSkillValue needs a skill id, so use this:
Code: Select all
skill = getobjectlistresult();
if (skill == "base_alchemy") {
    skillname = "Alchemy";
}
etc.

The C format codes don't work in Quest scripting. (Even in C, they only work in format functions, not everywhere. ;))

You can concatenate values with "+" in The Quest. So, instead of:
Code: Select all
oldvalue = player.getskillvalue("%s","skill");
message("Current value of %s is %d","skill","oldvalue");
use this:
Code: Select all
oldvalue = player.getskillvalue(skill);
message("Current value of " + skillname + " is " + oldvalue);


Aaaaaand, the next part won't work. Because as I said, the object list needs an object id. You can't add random values to it. I don't think you can do what you want with just one script.

You might be able to do it by creating an npc, and using dialogue topics + scripts. Please read the available documentation, linked in the first post. Then you'll at least know how to use the available functions. ;)

Elendil, thanks for all the help you gave me. It's allowed me to fix the script(s). :D

Here's a link to an expansion with it on if anyone is interested. Entrance is from Matras. The name of the destination is "Shik's Abode". Suggestions and constructive criticisms are welcome.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qkgkchqmbf11jfr/TheQuestShik.pdb?dl=0

Edit: Using the skillls/attributes editor causes overflow problems when changing the value to below that of the already included value caused by race ability. E.g., changing value of a Derth's Heal Magic to below 10 will increase it to ~65535. I might fix this later on if I get time.. :lol:

Edit2: I capped the minimum values that the script can decrease them to to 11 which should fix the overflow problems. Also added a new face for the npc. :D

Todo: Disable editing healing magic for rasvims and undead magic for non-rasvims.

Edit 3: Rewrote on the new editor. Now has a enchantment storage value selection mechanism for the enchant option. Still need to fix overflow problems though.
