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

[J. M. Sower]

I use this script for NPC on map, not in the building. This may be a problem.

Ps. I checked it and everything works when the NPC is in the house.

[GrayFace]

Did you try it in MM8 or MM7?

[J. M. Sower]

Only in MM8.

[GrayFace]

Well, perhaps I've already fixed it. Time to release.

[J. M. Sower]

Enlarged textures for terrain are cut instead of being matched and I don't see any way to change that. :/

[GrayFace]

Yes, there's no easy way. It can be easily done in D3D mode in MM7 and MM8, but Software mode support is tricky.

I tried to use MMResTool but nothing changed. I do not comprehend it.

BTW, I wrote a script that changes in chosen map statistics of monster (Dragonflies in MM7) and then it summon them with changes. Unfortunately, script Game.MonstersTxt[28].Picture can't change their appearance. If it worked, it could easily overcome the limitations of Monsters.txt... I'm looking forward for new version of MMExt without this limit.

Ps. Are MonList.txt have any limit?

[J. M. Sower]

I have a problem. I added a new map to MM7 and when I placed on it some peasants (both with the scripts and manually) game crashes during the second visit of the map. I think it is associated with the assignment of identities for the peasants, because I tried to add them to the original map and it works and during the first visit they are always simple peasants.

[GrayFace]

Send me the ErrorLog.txt.

As for monster appearance, there is mon:LoadFramesAndSounds() method for that.

Ps. Are MonList.txt have any limit?

Nope.

(from another thread)

EDIT2: and since I'm already asking questions I might not get answered - is there a way to change values of enchantments? For example, to make Of the Gods one give say +30 stats instead of +10? I had hopes for the table that lists those, but it doesn't actually allow to change them.

It is possible like this: (haven't checked it in game)

Code: Select all

function events.CalcStatBonusByItems(t)
  if t.Stat >= const.Stats.Might and t.Stat <= const.Stats.Luck then
    for it in t.Player:EnumActiveItems() do
      if it.Bonus2 == 2 then
        t.Result = t.Result + 20
      end
    end
  end
end

[J. M. Sower]

Send me the ErrorLog.txt.

Could you somehow explain this? Maybe a simple example? I can see some information in '01 common structs.lua' but I don't know how to use it.

[GrayFace]

The crash is caused by NPCDist.txt and it's fixed in the new not-yet-released version.

As for monster appearance, there is mon:LoadFramesAndSounds() method for that.

You already made some code to change monster attributes. After you set <mon>.Picture = <something> just call <mon>:LoadFramesAndSounds().

[J. M. Sower]

My script currently looks like this:

Code: Select all

Game.MonstersTxt[28].Name="Biter"

Game.MonstersTxt[28].FullHP=35
Game.MonstersTxt[28].ArmorClass=12
[...]
Game.MonstersTxt[28].Spell=2-- Fire Bolt
Game.MonstersTxt[28].SpellSkill=4

Game.MonstersTxt[28].Picture="Bat A"

	if not evt.Cmp("MapVar88", 1) then
		local mon = SummonMonster(28, -19914, 12393, 2386)
		mon.Hostile = true
		local mon = SummonMonster(28, -19462, 11790, 2145)
		mon.Hostile = true
		local mon = SummonMonster(28, -19176, 11652, 2169)
		mon.Hostile = true
[...]
		local mon = SummonMonster(28, -22068, 11611, 2609)
		mon.Hostile = true
		evt.Set("MapVar88", 1)
	end

You could write as you do on the basis of this?

Hello, I am trying to use MMExtension so I can use the HD mod on my mm6 game. I was having some problems and have narrowed it down to something I am doing wrong with the MMextension.

After I put the MMExtension files into the main directory of the game, I run the game and when I get attacked by a monster a debug window pops up. exiting the window causes the game to crash. I have included a picture of what I see when this happens.I doubt this is a bug and more something I did wrong.

[GrayFace]

Just follow each mon.Hostile = true with mon.Picture = <something> and mon:LoadFramesAndSounds(). (would actually be better to make a function that does all this instead of duplicating code)

I doubt this is a bug and more something I did wrong.

No, this is definitely my bug, I think I've fixed it in the upcoming version. Here's my current version, I'll soon do a release: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/447 ... on_tmp.rar

Sorry I've been MIA around here for... damn, has it been almost a year? Got a little caught up with other modding projects, soul-crushing depression, and then a smoking hot redhead that did a lot to help alleviate said soul-crushing depression.

ANYWAY... glad to see you're still around, Grayface. Last we spoke, I believe you had mentioned that the newest version of MMExtesnsion had the hooks to do most/all of the things that I wanted to do, but couldn't?

(List of said things: http://btb2.free.fr/cupcakes/greyface.txt)

I think I'd also asked you about a problem I had trying to set up new transport locations, but I gave you a bad link to the tables right before I vanished.

http://btb2.free.fr/cupcakes/Transport_Locations.txt

Changes:

13: Tatalia -> Erathia (stables) from Tue/Thu/Sat to Mon/Wed/Fri
18 & 19: Erathia no longer has boats to Bracada or Evenmorn
22: Tularean Forest has boat to Emerald Isle (1 day) instead of Tatalia
24: Bracada has boat to Tatalia instead of Erathia (4 days; added a route on Friday)
25: Added Bracada -> Evenmorn on Saturday
26: Evenmorn -> Bracada from Tue/Thu/Sat to Mon/Wed/Fri

Latest almost always when I work with the editor (both on Win7 and WinXP) and I try to save the map, or when I click on a few other buttons in the editor the program shuts down.

BTW, I don't remember if I already asked this question, so how to assign a monster as the guardian of the other monster (villager)?

And a little more interesting question. Would it be possible to add to the interface a window containing a list of the player 's reputations among various factions (based on variables modified by performing the quests , etc.)? And whether because of the level of difficulty you could help me by writing scripts for it?

[J. M. Sower]

I was able to create a special reputation menu for different fractions, but it could look better (It's just a dialog menu).


Currently it opens only when you click on "E". GrayFace, could you write for me a script that displays the graphic button for this window at the location shown in the picture below? Prepare button images is not a problem for me, but write this script is just too hard for me, and I really want this.


Below is a script for this menu.

Code: Select all

function events.KeyDown(t)
	if t.Key == const.Keys.E then
			t.Key = 0
		if Game.CurrentScreen == 0 then
Game.PlaySound(163)
QuestNPC =15
Quest{
	Slot = -1,
	Texts = {
		Greet = "           TWOJA REPUTACJA WŚRÓD FRAKCJI KARIGORU\n\n   Im twoja reputacja jest wyższa u wybranej frakcji, tym jej wyżej postawieni przedstawiciele będą chcieli z tobą rozmawiać. Maksymalnie może ona wynosić 100%. Można wyróżnić pewne przedziały: 0-30% - tylko najbiedniejsi zechcą z tobą rozmawiać; 31-70% - każdy wieśniak, czy mieszczanin, a także przedstawiciele władz; 71-100% - dosłownie każdy przedstawiciel frakcji, włączając samych władców. Należy pamiętać, iż łatwiej utracić dobrą reputację niż ją zyskać. Aby ją zyskać należy wykonywać zadania zlecone przez członków danej frakcji, czy też zabijać jej przeciwników. Utracić ją można poprzez wykonywanie zadań dla jej wrogów, bądź też poprzez zabijanie jej członków. \n\n Kościół Słońca " .. vars.repa .. "%\n Kościół Księżyca " .. vars.repb .. "%\n Królestwo Karigoru " .. vars.repc .. "%\n Czerwone Krasnoludy z Redclaw " .. vars.repd .. "%\n Nekromanci " .. vars.repe .. "%\n Syreny " .. vars.repf .. "%\n Piraci " .. vars.repg .. "%\n Elfickie Królestwo Vori " .. vars.reph .. "%\n Państwo Tatalii " .. vars.repi .. "%\n\n[Przed wczytaniem zapisanej gry najlepiej zrestartować program, gdyż wartości reputacji mogą się błędnie wyświetlać. Jednak nie wpływa to na rozgrywkę.]",
	}
}

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?

Code: Select all

function events.MonsterKilled(index, callDef)
	if index.Group == 38 then
		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
		SimpleMessage("" .. index.Group .. "") -- shows the group number
	end
end

Sorry to be off-topic, but that's a cool wolf you got there! And I see it's a MM8 mod in creation on AC? On my way to check it out :> Excited already.

[J. M. Sower]

Thanks. I must finally add a topic for my mod in this forum.
