Trouble with modding..

May 22, 2009

Hello

I'm completely new to modding business and I have done nothing in the like so I'm having a lot of trouble with Weidu. For some reason it's giving me a lot of errors, and if I try to fix it, it gives me another error. I did everything according to the tutorials, I tried every one I could find but it won't work. I hope you guys can help me. I might seem dumb, but I really can't comprehend these things and it got me a bit frustrated.

This is my TP2 file:

BACKUP ~Skygge/backup~

AUTHOR ~Tapetape (tapetape@live.be)~

BEGIN ~Skygge for BG2:SoA~

COPY ~Skygge/T#SKY.cre~ ~override/SKYGGE.cre~

SAY NAME1 ~Skygge~

SAY NAME2 ~Skygge~

SAY HAPPY ~It seems I made the right decision joining you.~

SAY UNHAPPY_ANNOYED ~I'm not sure if you're actions are rightful.~

SAY UNHAPPY_SERIOUS ~This is not what I had expected!~

SAY UNHAPPY_BREAKING ~That's it! No matter what mother says, I'm not staying with you for another second!~

SAY LEADER ~I'm of much more use in the rear, but I accept, seeing as I *AM* indeed most able of this position!~

SAY TIRED ~I demand we rest, right now!~

SAY BORED ~The road is long, we should be going soon.~

SAY BATTLE_CRY1 ~Attack!~

SAY BATTLE_CRY2 ~Feel the Dragon's fury!~

SAY BATTLE_CRY3 ~An arrow, served straight to the heart!~

SAY BATTLE_CRY4 ~Be prepared to meet you ancestors.~

SAY DAMAGE ~You will PAY for this!~

SAY DYING ~Heal me, now!~

SAY AREA_FOREST ~Being here brings back so much memories.~

SAY AREA_CITY ~I can feel the burning of their eyes, I insist we go soon.~

SAY AREA_DUNGEON ~Ah... Home sweet home!~

SAY AREA DAY ~The sun... No matter how it tries, it will never tan my skin. *sigh*~

SAY AREA_NIGHT ~This reminds me of the good old times.~

SAY SELECT_COMMON1 ~Say the word.~

SAY SELECT_COMMON2 ~Yes?~

SAY SELECT_COMMON3 ~I'm all ears.~

SAY SELECT_COMMON4 ~Yeaaaahh?~

SAY SELECT_COMMON5 ~Need an arrow or two?~

SAY SELECT_COMMON6 ~What is it now?~

SAY SELECT_ACTION1 ~Sure thing!~

SAY SELECT_ACTION2 ~I'm on it!~

SAY SELECT_ACTION3 ~Okay.~

SAY SELECT_ACTION4 ~My pleasure.~

SAY SELECT_ACTION5 ~Here I go.~

SAY SELECT_ACTION6 ~You sure?~

SAY SELECT_ACTION7 ~An easy task.~

SAY SELECT_RARE1 ~Ready for action!~

SAY SELECT_RARE2 ~The pleasure is all mine.~

SAY CRITICAL_HIT ~Hell yeah!~

SAY CRITICAL_MISS ~Impossible!~

SAY TARGET_IMMUNE ~It seems like I'm not doing any damage at all!~

SAY INVENTORY_FULL ~Nope! Can't carry it.~

COMPILE ~Skygge/T#Sky.d~

EXTEND_TOP ~AR0406.bcs~ ~Skygge/AR0406.baf~

UNLESS ~T#Sky~

APPEND ~interdia.2da~

~T#Sky T#SkyB T#SkyB25~

UNLESS ~T#Sky~

and this is the error I get:

Near Text: reminds

GLR parse error

Generally, a parsing error at a given line number refers to an error on that line or before that line.

This error is probably referring to the line here:

SAY AREA DAY ~The sun... No matter how it tries, it will never tan my skin. *sigh*~

There needs to be an underscore between AREA and DAY, so that it's AREA_DAY.

Commenting out/removing the SAY commands was a good way to find out if that's where the error was located, but in doing so you exposed a different error that you have.

[skygge/T#Sky.d] PARSE ERROR at line 35 column 1-34

This means that you have a typo somewhere in your T#Sky.d file that you'll have to track down and fix, too.

Faelan · May 22, 2009

Thanks a lot, I'll try it out.

Faelan · May 22, 2009

Okay, that's solved. But of course, there's a new row of errors waiting.

I added the _'s, now I get this:

This is the compile line and the ones after it; anything wrong with them? I had to add the two '~~' else he wouldn't read it.

And what you should have done is to replace this:

SAY AREA_DUNGEON ~Ah... Home sweet home!~
SAY AREA DAY ~The sun... No matter how it tries, it will never tan my skin. *sigh*~
SAY AREA_NIGHT ~This reminds me of the good old times.~

With this:

SAY AREA_DUNGEON ~Ah... Home sweet home!~
SAY AREA_DAY ~The sun... No matter how it tries, it will never tan my skin. *sigh*~
SAY AREA_NIGHT ~This reminds me of the good old times.~

Notice the SAY AREA_DAY ~ ...-structure. And nothing else. Now, if you wish to know what error is reported on the d file, we need to see the file, or at least part of it.

Faelan · May 22, 2009

Oh, oops! Fixed that.

Here is the whole thing.

BEGIN T#SKY

IF ~NumTimesTalkedTo (0)~ THEN BEGIN Talk1

SAY ~My humblest greetings to you, good adventurer, my name is Skygge~

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Well met, madam, the name's <CHARNAME>. May I ask you what you are doing around here, alone?~ GOTO sky1.0

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Good day and goodbye, I have no time to talk.~ GOTO sky1.1

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~What is it you want?!~ GOTO sky1.2

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Speak up, woman!~ GOTO sky1.2

END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN sky1.0

SAY ~Seeking adventure, thrills... The usual stuff. Though I tire of this lonesome life and I would like to have some company once in a while. Do you mind?~

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~I have no time for needless banter, get to the point.~ GOTO sky1.3

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Sure, speak your mind.~ GOTO sky1.3

END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN sky1.1

SAY ~Very well, goodbye.~

END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN sky1.2

SAY ~I apologize if I intrude. I am merely in search for adventurers, such as yourself, to join. Your company seems merry enough, maybe my bow and arrows could lighten things up.~

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Keep the sarcasm to yourself, Halfelf, I am in no need of another lackey. Leave.~ EXIT

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~You are in luck this time, Halfelf, we happen to be short of a ranger.~ GOTO skyjoin

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~You may join if you drop the temper.~ GOTO sky1.4

END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 1.3

SAY ~There is no story to it, I am merely in search for adventurers, such as yourself, to join. My skills with the bow aren't to be compensated.~

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Very well, you are welcome to join us.~ GOTO skyjoin

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~I apologize, but we have no need for an archer at this time.~ GOTO skyleave

END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 1.4

SAY ~I understand, forgive me.~ DO ~SetGlobal

("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)JoinParty()~ EXIT

END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN skyjoin

SAY ~I promise I won't disappoint.~ DO ~SetGlobal

("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)JoinParty()~ EXIT

END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN skyleave

SAY ~I understand, I will be waiting here if you change your mind.~ EXIT

END

IF ~NumTimesTalkedToGT(0)~ THEN BEGIN ReturnDialogue

SAY ~Ah, you have returned at last! Have you changed your mind?~

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Yes, get in the party.~ DO ~SetGlobal

("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)

JoinParty()~ EXIT

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~No, of course not!~ GOTO RefusedAgain

END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN RefusedAgain

SAY ~*Sigh* I will be waiting here, but my patience isn't everlasting. (At this rate, I'm getting nowhere!)~

IF ~~ THEN EXIT

END

BEGIN T#SkyP

IF ~Global("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)~ THEN BEGIN KickOut

SAY ~What are you mumbling about, you want me to leave the party?~

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~That's not what I was saying, stick with us, Skygge.~ DO ~SetGlobal("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)

JoinParty()~ EXIT

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~That's right, I don't want you around us anymore!~ DO ~SetGlobal

("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",0)~ EXIT

END

IF ~Global("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",0)~ THEN BEGIN Rejoin

SAY ~What is it, can't you make up your mind?~

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Get back there, Skygge.~ DO ~SetGlobal("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)

JoinParty()~ EXIT

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Fine then, stay here some longer!~ EXIT

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~I won't ever be needing you services anymore, begone!.~ DO ~EscapeArea()~ EXIT

END

Jarno Mikkola · May 22, 2009

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 1.4
SAY ~I understand, forgive me.~ DO ~SetGlobal

("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)JoinParty()~ EXIT

END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN skyjoin

SAY ~I promise I won't disappoint.~ DO ~SetGlobal

("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)JoinParty()~ EXIT

END

It's probably the Do ~SetGlobal

("...

Thing, as the structure needs to be exactly:

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 1.4
SAY ~I understand, forgive me.~ DO ~SetGlobal("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1) JoinParty()~ EXIT
END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN skyjoin
SAY ~I promise I won't disappoint.~ DO ~SetGlobal("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1) JoinParty()~ EXIT
END

So it needs the space between the ..."LOCALS",1) and JoinPa... or the line brake between the DO ~SetGlobal and ("SkyggeJoined"... is not such a good thing.

Taimon · May 22, 2009

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 1.4
SAY ~I understand, forgive me.~ DO ~SetGlobal
("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)JoinParty()~ EXIT
END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN skyjoin
SAY ~I promise I won't disappoint.~ DO ~SetGlobal
("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)JoinParty()~ EXIT
END

These two states have invalid transitions.

Add IF ~~ THEN before the DO.

Faelan · May 22, 2009

Thanks, both, I'll check it out. :crazyeyes:

Jarno Mikkola · May 22, 2009

By the way, you also have this:

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~That's not what I was saying, stick with us, Skygge.~ DO ~SetGlobal("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",1)
JoinParty()~ EXIT
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~That's right, I don't want you around us anymore!~ DO ~SetGlobal
("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",0)~ EXIT
END

The first line doesn't need alteration but the third and 4th line need to be:

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~That's right, I don't want you around us anymore!~ DO ~SetGlobal("SkyggeJoined","LOCALS",0)~ EXIT
END

You probably could blame the Notepad for all of that, but usually it's best to do all the mod coding without the automatic lining in the Notepad.

Faelan · May 22, 2009

It appears something is wrong with the 'Exits' and the 'Ends'?

Oh, I'm trying out something now, just a sec.

Jarno Mikkola · May 22, 2009

It appears something is wrong with the 'Exits' and the 'Ends'?

Then it was probably referring to these:

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN sky1.1
SAY ~Very well, goodbye.~

END

...

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN RefusedAgain

SAY ~*Sigh* I will be waiting here, but my patience isn't everlasting. (At this rate, I'm getting nowhere!)~

IF ~~ THEN EXIT

END

That they should be:

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN sky1.1
SAY ~Very well, goodbye.~ EXIT
END
...
IF ~~ THEN BEGIN RefusedAgain
SAY ~*Sigh* I will be waiting here, but my patience isn't everlasting. (At this rate, I'm getting nowhere!)~ EXIT
END

Faelan · May 22, 2009

It works now! Thanks a lot, I got no more errors at the moment. :crazyeyes:

Faelan · May 22, 2009

I have a question about kicking out the npc out of your group.

In one guide it is said like this:

IF ~Global("VondoJoined","LOCALS",1)~ THEN BEGIN KickOut

SAY ~You are now kicking me out.~

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Oops, I meant to boot that twit Anomen, not you. Sorry~ DO ~JoinParty()~ EXIT

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~That's right, I don't want you in the party.~ DO ~SetGlobal("VondoJoined","LOCALS",0)~ EXIT

END

While in the other it is formulated like this:

IF ~Global("JohnJoined","LOCALS",1)~ THEN BEGIN LeaveGroup

SAY ~What? You don't need me?~

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~My mistake, please stay.~ DO ~JoinParty()~ EXIT

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~You suck. Bye.~ EXIT

END

Which one is right, or do they both work fine?
