MMExtension v2.2 + MMEditor v2.1 Level Editor [June 4, 2019]

[J. M. Sower]

Apart from that I was trying to write a script that changes reputation after killing the monster of the chosen group. Unfortunately, I was able to only partially achieved. This script works well , but also works when a monster is killed by another monster, and I want it to work only when a player kills him. GrayFace, can you help?

Never mind, I was able to do it using a change of player experience after killing monster. I do not believe that I came to this. xD

Below is a complete script for those who are interested.

Code: Select all

local function getexp()
	RemoveTimer(getexp)
	vars.ParExp = 0 -- Does the team has gained experience; 0 - no, 1 - yes
		
		if Party.Count == 1 then
			if Party[0].Experience > vars.ParExp0 then
				vars.ParExp = 1
			end
		vars.ParExp0 = Party[0].Experience
		end

		if Party.Count == 2 then
			if (Party[0].Experience > vars.ParExp0 or Party[1].Experience > vars.ParExp1) then
				vars.ParExp = 1
			end
		vars.ParExp0 = Party[0].Experience
		vars.ParExp1 = Party[1].Experience
		end

		if Party.Count == 3 then
			if (Party[0].Experience > vars.ParExp0 or Party[1].Experience > vars.ParExp1 or Party[2].Experience > vars.ParExp2) then
				vars.ParExp = 1
			end
		vars.ParExp0 = Party[0].Experience
		vars.ParExp1 = Party[1].Experience
		vars.ParExp2 = Party[2].Experience
		end

		if Party.Count == 4 then
			if (Party[0].Experience > vars.ParExp0 or Party[1].Experience > vars.ParExp1 or Party[2].Experience > vars.ParExp2 or Party[3].Experience > vars.ParExp3) then
				vars.ParExp = 1
			end
		vars.ParExp0 = Party[0].Experience
		vars.ParExp1 = Party[1].Experience
		vars.ParExp2 = Party[2].Experience
		vars.ParExp3 = Party[3].Experience
		end

		if Party.Count == 5 then
			if (Party[0].Experience > vars.ParExp0 or Party[1].Experience > vars.ParExp1 or Party[2].Experience > vars.ParExp2 or Party[3].Experience > vars.ParExp3 or Party[4].Experience > vars.ParExp4) then
				vars.ParExp = 1
			end
		vars.ParExp0 = Party[0].Experience
		vars.ParExp1 = Party[1].Experience
		vars.ParExp2 = Party[2].Experience
		vars.ParExp3 = Party[3].Experience
		vars.ParExp4 = Party[4].Experience
		end



		if vars.ParExp == 1 then

			if vars.gr == 38 then -- if killed monster was in 38 group
				-- change of reputations:
				vars.repa = vars.repa - 1 -- Sun
				vars.repb = vars.repb + 2 -- Moon
				vars.repc = vars.repc - 1 -- Karigor
				vars.repd = vars.repd  - 0.2 -- Dwarfs
				vars.repe = vars.repe + 2 -- Necro
				vars.repg = vars.repg + 1 -- Pirates
				vars.reph = vars.reph  - 0.2 -- Vori
			end

		vars.ParExp = 0
		end
end

Dialogs are a bit of an uncharted territory for now. I did create buttons in new game dialog, but haven't tried doing so for main screen and haven't done any general support for scripting that. Standard dialogs aren't well-organized.

It's sad.


Anyway, I wrote the script that saves in variable the amount of the current item in player inventory.

Code: Select all

for item30=0, 100 do -- It checks up to 100, but you can increase this number
	vars.item30 = item30 - 1 -- saving count of item 30 in vars.item30
	if not evt.CheckItemsCount{MinItemIndex = 30, MaxItemIndex = 30, Count = item30} then
		break
	end
end

The loop can start at 1. I made a function for this, but still haven't released new MMExt version.

This my script works absolutely fine. Even when there is 0 items.

Yes, and like I said, it would be better if it starts with 1.

[adrian5683]

Hey GrayFace, is it possible to edit the preset skills of any class? For example, the Knight class starts off with Sword and Leather presets and I'd like to mod it so that it starts with Sword and Arms Master... Is that possible?

[GrayFace]

Yes, by editing Data\Tables\Class Starting Skills.txt with TxtEdit

[adrian5683]

Thank you but I can't seem to fine the Class Starting Skills txt file... I downloaded the most recent MMExtension, am I looking in Scripts? Total noob here, sorry...

[GrayFace]

Just run the game once.

Hey grayface,

If there's a new version coming I could really use a fix for facet limitation in MM7.
Such low limit really limits design capabilities. Hard to make some bigger dungeons and place more customized buildings on map.

I also get error message on attempt to compile dungeon: "BSP compilation failed due to doors.". Ok, doors are the problem but what exactly is wrong with them?

Yes, that one is a big problem. It's done it for MM8. Maybe I'll do a dirty version for MM7 just to work in D3D so you can design such maps in MM7.

I also get error message on attempt to compile dungeon: "BSP compilation failed due to doors.". Ok, doors are the problem but what exactly is wrong with them?

It happens when doors overlap. Usually it can be solved by removing unused facets from the door. What map is that happening in? I'm looking to improve BSP algorithm's handling of doors in future, so it might go away.

It's not internal map. I'll send you the map tho.

Hello, can somebody tell me pls if it's possible in some way to edit classes in MM6? I mean skills/item restrictions. Thanks

[GrayFace]

Hello, can somebody tell me pls if it's possible in some way to edit classes in MM6? I mean skills/item restrictions. Thanks

Yes, data\Tables\Class Starting Skills.txt is the one to edit. Make sure to rune the game once with MMExt first. What do you mean by item restrictions?

[J. M. Sower]

GrayFace, do you know how to make the monster doesn't move after receiving damages (like Treants in MM7)? Could it depends on the size of the creature? I did a laser cannon (it isn't too big) and I don't know how to do it.

Thank you but I can't find anything in \data, the only files there are

Code: Select all

00 patch.games.lod
00 patch.icons.lod
BITMAPS.LOD
Games.lod
icons.lod
MouseLookCursor.bmp
new.lod
SPRITES.LOD

I have the GOG version.

What do you mean by item restrictions?

I wanted to restrict clerics from using bows in a mod I made.

Edit:sorry I understand now I had to install the extension but I get a virus report for FASM.dll (Comodo AV), I added it to the exclusions though

...continuing, I gave to the Treants in MM7 all the statistics from Swordsmens (also "MoveType") and in the same way in MonList.txt I pasted for them settings from Swordsmens. The strange thing is that the creature further stood stationary. Does this mean that the motionless of Treants is inscribed somewhere inside the EXE file?

[J. M. Sower]

Small discovery that may be useful for someone, when wrote current dialogues without using Quest function (in the old way).

Instead of this (You must have typed text for "Str" in NPCText.txt):

Code: Select all

evt.SetMessage  {Str = 772}

You can write SimpleMessage(), and then you can inscribe some variables into the text (which of course you can also done in Quest function ) and you don't need to use NPCText.txt. Example:

Code: Select all

SimpleMessage("X: " .. Party.X .. "\nY: " .. Party.Y .. "\nZ: " .. Party.Z .. "\nDirection: " .. Party.Direction)

[mg979]

I'm having this kind of error with MMExtension



What could be? It's happening often in the abandoned temple, but it seems random (sometime I get it, sometimes I don't)
