Uploaded new version.

Lots of bug fixes. Ammo works. Probably some new properties.

in the first post?

[Dr Brain]

Yes.

[Acer1001]

I tried adding this in and when i tried to start asss it just opened and closed quickly. Any reason why it would be doing that?

[Dr Brain]

Probably something isn't loading right. Open up a command window and start it in there. That should let you know what's going wrong.

The log file might also have useful information.

[Acer1001]

I get this when i open it from a command prompt: "Loading modules...
Unrecoverable error (5): Error in modules.conf: Can't open file 'conf/modules.conf for reading"

[Dr Brain]

You were running asss from the wrong directory.

I just dropped hscore in src, did make deps and make, this is what I got: (ASSS 5 RC1)

That version was built against an older version of the core. Grab a newer copy from here: http://bitbucket.org/drbrain/hscore/

If you don't have mercurial, you can use the get source button in the upper right hand corner of the website to download a zip or tar file.

during make
It was first missing selfpos.h which I couldn't find at http://bitbucket.org/drbrain/hscore/

I found it here http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=8092&highlight=selfpos+h

ran make again, now missing formula.h, but i don't really want to hunt these files down and mix up versions

It seems like it might just be missing util package from the thread above

So adding formula.h and selfpos.h and running make gave me a problem with rewards.c

[Dr Brain]

Sorry, I completely forgot about hs_util. Grab the latest copy from http://bitbucket.org/drbrain/hs_util/ and put it into hs_util in src/

"make clean", and "make" should do the trick after that.

[KrynetiX]

edit: solved


Edit: it all compiled fine (except for these strange lines of make output)
at the very beginning:

Code: Show/Hide jess@jess-desktop:~/Desktop/as3/src$ make Makefile:114: ../build/deps.mk: No such file or directory

and towards the end:

Code: Show/Hide warning: I_ARENAPLACE::Place: guessing arena from player argument warning: CB_SET_BANNER: guessing arena from player argument warning: I_CAPMAN::HasCapability: guessing arena from player argument warning: I_CAPMAN::HigherThan: guessing arena from player argument warning: CB_CHATMSG: guessing arena from player argument warning: CB_SHIPFREQCHANGE: guessing arena from player argument warning: CB_SPAWN: guessing arena from player argument warning: CB_SAFEZONE: guessing arena from player argument warning: CB_GREEN: guessing arena from player argument warning: CB_ATTACH: guessing arena from player argument warning: CB_CROWNCHANGE: guessing arena from player argument

giving run/asss a go loads all core modules, proceeds to load hscore_myql,database,money, and fails at items:

Code: Show/Hide I <cmod> loading C module 'hscore_items' from 'hscore' E <cmod> error loading module 'hscore_items' Unrecoverable error (5): Error in loading module 'hscore:hscore_items'

[Dr Brain]

You have nothing to worry about with those lines in your make output.

Here's a list of modules to start with:

Code: Show/Hide hs_util:selfpos hs_util:kill hs_util:menu hs_util:formula hscore:hscore_mysql hscore:hscore_database hscore:hscore_money hscore:hscore_items hscore:hscore_wepevents hscore:hscore_buysell hscore:hscore_commands hscore:hscore_storeman hscore:hscore_enforcer hscore:hscore_rewards hscore:hscore_spawner ; optional hscore:hscore_balancer hs_util:formula_cmd

You were missing selfpos for hscore_items.

[Dr Brain]

I understand most of the data base except item_events and item_properties.

Can you explain these rows?

[Dr Brain]

Item properties is the easy one:
item_id corresponds to the id in the item table
name corresponds to the name of the property (e.g. thrust)
value is the +1 or -5 or whatever
absolute is if the value should override the ship default (absolute properties are displayed as an = in ?iteminfo)
ignore_count means that the value is unaffected by how many copies of the item you have.
id is just a unique way to address that row, and can be left NULL during creation.

Item events:
event is the name of the event (e.g. bullet)
action is an integer corresponding to the action (see later)
data depends on the action
message is a message sent to the player during the action

The action #s can be found in hscore_types.h near the top. They start from zero and count up. So ACTION_PRIZE is 3, and uses the data field as the prize #.

You don't need events to create most items, thankfully.

[KrynetiX]

I'm a bit confused. How would I for example make an item that prizes 500 bounty.

Edit: Also,
how would I make a simple +1 bomb level item?
Does absolute mean that warbird:initial/maxbombs can =1 in arena.conf but the warbird who bought it will still go up to lvl2?
As for ships_allowed, do i take 1,2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and add them all together making the value 255 if i want all ships to have access to the item? (255 seems to only allow warbird)

[Dr Brain]

When do you want the item to prize the player?

For an example bomb, I've attached the TacNuke's properties from Hyperspace:

Code: Show/Hide +------------------+----------------+ | Property Name    | Property Value | +------------------+----------------+ | bomblevel        | +3             | | prox             | +1             | | shrapnel         | +5             | | bombdelay        | =400           | | bombenergy       | =616           | | maxmines         | =0             | | minedelay        | =512           | | mineenergy       | =667           | | initialbounty    | -6             | | shraplevel       | =3             | +------------------+----------------+

The = means absolute property.

If you don't specify a property, it should use the settings default (e.g. maxmines).

Yes, the spawner pretty much ignores the maximum bomb and gun settings.

Yes, 255 will give access to all ships. 3 will give access to warbird and javelin. 12 will give access to spider and leviathan. 64 will give access to just lancaster.

[KrynetiX]

I'd like to see the database settings for an item that prizes the player +1 gun level (override arena settings) and saves it to his ship. And database settings for an item that prizes the player 50 greens just one time.

[Dr Brain]

I haven't tested these, but they should do what you want:

Code: Show/Hide +----+-------------+-------------------+------------------+-----------+------------+--------------+---------------+-----+-------------+------+------------+----------+--------------+-------------+ | id | name        | short_description | long_description | buy_price | sell_price | exp_required | ships_allowed | max | delay_write | ammo | needs_ammo | min_ammo | affects_sets | resend_sets | +----+-------------+-------------------+------------------+-----------+------------+--------------+---------------+-----+-------------+------+------------+----------+--------------+-------------+ |  1 | Pulse Laser | Basic armament    |                  |       500 |        250 |            0 |           255 |   1 |           0 |    0 |          0 |        0 |            1 |           1 | |  2 | Prizer      | Prizes 500        |                  |       500 |        250 |            0 |           255 |   1 |           0 |    0 |          0 |        0 |            0 |           0 | +----+-------------+-------------------+------------------+-----------+------------+--------------+---------------+-----+-------------+------+------------+----------+--------------+-------------+

The 1,1 removes the item when it's added, and the 13,500 adds 500 bounty to the player.

[KrynetiX]

The gun doesn't upgrade until a shipreset occurs.

And the bounty only prizes bounty, and none of the prizes that come with the bounty. I find that kind of strange.

[Dr Brain]

Did you enter the affects_sets and resend_sets on the gun item? Having those as 0 would prevent it from setting them immediately.

As for the prize, I'm not sure I ever added a random prize action (I never had a need for it). It's easy to tell it to give the person a specific prize. You could easily tell it to give someone 50 multiprizes, for example. If you've got your heart set on 500 random prizes, though, it could be added with a small amount of programming.

[Hakaku]

Could it be that your settings are configured so that you can't prize anything when picking up bounty? If so, then it would also affect regular prizing.
