Freedom Reborn Archive

Howdy guys, I'm still a few days (or weeks, depending on work) away from starting on my 'comics,' but I had a question that I figured I needed to ask while I was thinking about it.  That way, I should have an answer for it by the time I'm ready to work on that mission.  This, plus the fact that I'll need a help thread eventually, and you've got this:

So, I want to go on an adventure where you've got to free imprisoned allies, is that do-able?  Specifically, I'm thinking the League are prisoners, and Batman's got to free them one at a time, or something similar.

Yep, very doable with EZScript, as there's a special encounter just for that. Here's something to get you started--you free Minute Man from a cage:


#-----------------------------------------
Encounter: Cage Traps
Type: Rescue Caged
Villains: nuclear_winter
Allies: minute_man

Alert Cutscene:
Yellow arrow on Villain

Start Cutscene:
Cinematic camera on Hero to Villain1
Hero turns to Villain1
Hero says, "Hold on hero, I'll save you!"

Ally Thanks Hero Cutscene:
Cinematic camera on minute_man to Hero
minute_man says, "Thanks for the assist, friend!"

End Cutscene:
Hero says, "So much for Nuclear Winter."
#-----------------------------------------


(For best results you'll want to user the special EZScript markers for allies on the map, so you control exactly where the allies show up.)

Perfect HT, thanks man!  That is deffinetly what I was looking for, even down to the cage object!

Nevermind, I figured it out.  Man!  I finally finished one of these, hooray!  This is so ridiculously awesome, thanks guys!

Watch this space though, ha, I'll be going back to work on the first mission shortly.

:EDIT:

Okay, this sucker has been giving me headaches for a long time, but now, with the new encounter types, I believe there is a way to do it, I'm just not sure how to go about it.  Alright, here is what I WANT to happen.  Batman interrogates a thug to find out about a museum heist, he intercepts the Penguin on his way out.  Then, the Penguin and his thugs try to flee with a museum piece and Batman has to stop them.  This all works decently well, but THEN I want Mr. Freeze to show up, it would actually be nice if he showed up halfway through all of this, and he and his men assault Penguin.  He freezes Batman and escapes with the object.

Now, I know I can use the new 'rival' type of encounter to force villains to fight each other...but can anyone help me with the mechanics of this?  I'm just not quite sure how to do it all.

:EDIT2: Okay, now I've just about finished the second mission, but I'm having trouble getting the last encounter to trigger.  Nothing is happening, no-one is spawning, and the cutscene isn't playing, so I'm not sure what's wrong.  Here's the story:

that could have made them a fortune, and they had the gall to laugh at me!  I'm

afraid I've got something rather unpleasant planned for them...You on the other

Pretty Poison is working like a charm, and so is the mugging, but Riddle Me This is falling flat.

Sorry to double post, but that darn character limit makes it difficult to do some of these things.  Here's the script.log, it's got a few errors in it, but I can't make heads or tails of them:

Which to me looks like a syntax error in the Python behind the "Save Civilians" encounter type.

Whoops!  Well, I think I figured it out, Civilian, singular, not plural.... :unsure:

:EDIT:  Err...maybe not.  Well, I changed Civilians to singualr, I don't THINK I changed anything else, and all of a sudden, it doesn't work at all.  Nothing, nadda, not even the first alert cutscene.

I'm not sure what's up, but make sure there are are no carriage returns or line breaks in the middle of a line.

In other words, check that you have:

Hero says, "Make sure there's no carriage returns or line breaks within a single line of EZScript!"

and not:

Hero says, "Make sure there's no
carriage returns or line breaks within a single line of EZScript!"

Hmm, I fixed all of those that I could find, but still no dice.  I wonder what I did to break this... :wacko:  Anyroad, I did notice that Ivy's minions are spawning, but she's not.  However, that's the only thing that spawns, the mugging doesn't spawn ANYTHING.

It's choking trying to spawn poison ivy.  Did you change anything on that character?

If you open up m25config.py in your missions/scripts directory there's a line to turn reporting on (M25_USE_REPORTS or something like that - I don't have it in front of me.)  If you set that to 1, it'll spit out more useful information.

Hey M25, yeah, I upped her endurance...but I can't figure out how that would cause this...I think I also added a prestige value, but I'm not sure.  I'll turn that report and and see if we can't see what's wrong.

Alright, so it tells me that the FFX Bushman is missing either a mesh or an HF, and that DoEncCustom has some sort of problem.  I'll look into the first thing, but I'm afraid the second has got me stumped.  Ohh masters of EZScript, can you decipher it?

Okay, I've fixed the bushman thing....turns out it was 'busman,' whoops.....anyroad, that seems to have fixed the Ivy part, I've got to test the second encounter later.  It's our anniversary today, and I just had time to do this little bit while the wife was getting ready.  Anyroad, we're off, and I'll mess with this again tomorrow.  Thanks M25!

Hurray!  Everything works!  Thanks for the help guys, apparently it was just that one glitch.  The first three 'comic' missions are finished!

Alright, since everything seems to be working again, I've gone back to trying to improve the first comic mission, and I need some help.  Here's the script as it looks now:

First off, it's not working, the Penguin and his men are spawning, but the CS doesn't play.  Secondly, I can't help feeling like there is a better way to do this.  Is there any way to force a character to use a power through EZScript?  Thanks for looking at these guys, I'll be out of town for the next two weeks, but I'll be checking in.  I hope y'all can help me smooth this out.

i guess i'm your answer man....(i hope):

1) EZ Script seems to like consistency.  Use specific names (i.e. penguin, mrfreeze, etc.) whereever possible. In "unexpected" you mix and match "mrfreeze", "penguin", and Villain1.  That might be causing a problem

2) In "unexpected", you refer to "Villain1" but you do not list a Villain1 among your variables.  I think you can take out "penguin is revived" and just list "penguin" as a Villain.  (did that make sense?  :unsure:).

3) In "Big Bird", you start with "Remove arrow from Villain1".  You might need an Alert Cutscene with "Red arrow on Villain1".  Not sure if this is a deal breaker, just something I noticed.

4) Minions: I noticed in "Big Bird", you have 15 minions listed.  Did you want 15 opponents, or for EZ Script to chose from the 15?  If you just want it to choose, you only have to list the minions in the ratio you want it to select.  For example, you have 10 f_f_gang and 5 f_f_gang2 listed (a 2:1 ratio).  Just use 2 f_f_gang and 1 f_f_gang2.  EZ Script will still pick them randomly and you'll be twice as likely to get f_f_gang members as f_f_gang2.  This is not a deal-breaker either, but seems to make missions run smoother (for me, anyway).

5) Which CS isn't running?

Thanks for the response man, I can certainly use all the help I can get!  Anyroad, let me answer your points one at a time:

1) Alright, I will definitely change this.

2) Whoops!  I had the Penguin in there, but removed him because I'm not quite sure how this will behave.  What I WANT is for the first encounter to flow into the second, but I'm afraid that this will give me two Penguins running around.  Is there a way to destroy the first one?

3) Once again, this is something of a Frankenstien script, so I removed the alert cutscene to see if it was causing problems, forgot to remove that.

4) This is in an attempt to get EZScript to give me more minions, because it's only been giving me a handful, I might revise the numbers, but at the moment it's still only spawning two.

5) Neither, the Penguin and two men are spawning, but nothing is playing and Mr Freeze and co. aren't even spawning.

I won't be able to work on this until I get back home on the 10th, but maybe I can help narrow things down before then.  Ohh, and do you know if it's possible to force a character to use a power through EZScript?

1) hope it works

2) Once the first encounter ends, all minions, villains, etc. will disappear.  Maybe m25 can clarify on this one.  This means you'll either need to combine the two

encounters or start the second with another penguin.  2 encounters cannot run at the same marker at the same time.  If you use the same marker for both encounters,

the second encounter will not (cannot) begin until the first one completes.  You'd need to write each encounter as self-contained sequences ("scenes" in a movie) and make sure you use the same villains and minions for both encounters.

Your other option is to combine the two encounters and teleport mrfreeze (i.e. your "Rival") off camera somewhere until you need him later.  I don't know where I got the idea (I think it was a Conduit post), but basically, you pick a point off map (this prevents him from moving to the encounter), teleport him there, and then bring him back when you're ready.  (an easy way to do this is to move an object (building, car, character, etc.) off map in ffedit and make a note of its position.  You can use those coords and "teleport mrfreeze to x,y,z" in the Alert Cutscene.  Then use "teleport mrfreeze to hero1" to bring him back (I always fade in/out when I teleport characters).

To do this, remove "Villains are invulnerable" and replace it with "Villains can be interrogated" or "Villain stops at one quarter health".  Mr Freeze would enter the picture during the "interrogation" (or "villains stop") cutscene.  You could also revive penguin to full health at that point

3) I think this may be a sticking point.  It looks like EZ Script can't find an arrow to remove and won't do anything else until it does.


4) Your minions are too tough.  They spawn at levels based on your characters, so EZ Script is only spawning a couple.  Name them as "villains" and refer to "penguin" by name for any of his custom actions.


5) see #3


I don't think you can force a certain power, the best you can do is simulate it by playing the animation, then playing the effect (or fx) on the target.  The only hang up is that any animation/effect you play will end before the next one starts.  Looks a bit awkward at times, but hardly a deal-breaker.

B92

Thanks for your answers, Boalt92.   It's great having other people that know EZ script.




There's a plug-in that got included with FFX3.2 (cutscene_power) that allows you to force the use of a power during a cutscene

<name> uses power <power> on <target>


EZ script does automatically do a 'clean up' to remove all of the characters involved in an encounter so they don't clutter up the map.  If you want a character to continue past an encounter you can give them a name.

Villains: nuclear_winter named chilly, ice_queen

In that case, the nuclear_winter character is flagged as being able to move from one encounter to the next (the ice_queen isn't).  If you have another encounter that uses the same character with the same name, then EZ script will use the same character.

Encounter: First
Type: Custom
Actions: Villain stops at half-health, villains fight heroes
Villains: nuclear_winter named chilly

Encounter: Second
Type: Flee the scene
Villains: nuclear_winter named chilly

In the above setup, nuclear winter will fight until he reaches half health, then the second encounter will kick in and he will try to flee.


Minions:  EZ script spawns minions based on the difficulty level the player has chosen and the number of heroes the player has.  It doesn't base it on point totals at all.   (I used to do that, but it didn't work well and was too slow).

If you want a lot of characters to spawn regardless of difficulty level, then put them as villains and not minions.

Thanks guys, that actually makes a lot of sense, I think I'm following you.  I'm glad you included a way to force powers M25, that'll be a big help! :D

I can't wait until we get back to try all of this out...it's going to be torture not being able to see if it works or not!

Hey guys, I took your advice and combined the different encounters, and I am really happy with the results.  I have a few more tweaks to make, but I'm still having one problem.  The final cutscene isn't playing.  Everything else is working wonderfully, but when you knock out Mr Freeze and his goons, the game ends.  (I tried using 'Rival stops at quarter health,' but that didn't work and caused an error in the script.log.)  The only error I'm seeing is 'custom_template93 not found.'  Anyroad, here's the script.

I don't think there is a 'Rivals Gone' cutscene.   Maybe call it End Cutscene instead.  That should play when everything is done.

Hmm, I see now that I must have misread your documentation, whoops!  I'll try and replace it with that and we'll see what happens.

Okay guys, everything is working perfectly now....except for that blasted end cutscene.  I just can't get it to play.  Here's what it looks like:

[spoiler]Interrogation Cutscene:
Fade for 2 seconds
Hero1 teleports to museum1
Villain1 teleports to museum1
Rival1 teleports to freeze2
Rival2 teleports to freeze2
Rival3 teleports to freeze2
Rival4 teleports to freeze2
Rival5 teleports to freeze2
Rival6 teleports to freeze2
Rival7 teleports to freeze2
Rival8 teleports to freeze2
Rival1 moves to Villain1
Unfade for 2 seconds
Cinematic camera on Villain1 to Hero1
Hero1 turns to Villain1
Hero1 says, "I hope you enjoy your time at Stonegate, Penguin, you're going to

be there for a very long time."
Villain1 says, "Cage me up again like a canary if you like Batman, but you

know I'll be back soon..."
Rival1 turns to Villain1
Rival1 says, "Everyone freeze!"
Villain1 turns to Rival1
Hero1 turns to Rival1
Cinematic camera on Rival1 to Villain1
Rival1 says, "Penguin, I believe you have something I want..."
penguin plays animation melee
penguin says, "Back off you petulant icicle, this is my robbery!"
Rival1 says, "It was your robbery..."
Rival1 uses freeze freeze ray on Villain1

End Cutscene:
Rival1 is revived
Hero1 moves to Rival1
Cinematic camera on Hero1 to Rival1
Rival1 turns to Hero1
Hero1 turns to Rival1
Rival1 says, "Well fought Batman, but a colder head prevailed."
Hero1 says, "Freeze, wait!  Why are you doing this?"
Rival1 says, "We must all obey our hearts Batman.  My heart is cold, but not

dead...not yet.  I will do what I must...but I've said to much!"
Rival1 uses freeze freeze ray on Hero1
Rival1 moves to freeze2
Fade for 2 seconds[/spoiler]

Could it be that End Cutscene doesn't work in this kind of encounter?

The End cutscene is not playing because EZ script can't find a living Rival.  Unfortunately, the 'is revived' command won't fix that.  I would just make the last cutscene a separate encounter.

Encounter: The End
Type: Cutscene
Villain: mr_freeze

Hey guys, let there be rejoicing!  Almost everything works perfectly, thanks M25!  There is just one last thing, and if it doesn't work, I can live with it.  Mr. Freeze still isn't using his power when the script calls for it.  Here's what it looks like:

Villain1 uses power freeze freeze ray on Hero1

It's not causing any problems in the mission, he's simply not using.  It's a shame from a visual standpoint, but I can live with it if we can't figure it out.

I've checked the spelling and spacing of the power name, and other than that I don't know what to do.

QuoteVillain1 uses power freeze freeze ray on Hero1

Couple thoughts from one who knows little...

A) Is the power actually named "freeze freeze ray"
B) Is a power name (or any name in EZScript) allowed to use spaces? I know if you were scripting or programming something in a traditional language this would be a no-no.

Yes, the name is "freeze freeze ray" (because of using a hero editor to add the character in, and not doing it by hand).  I know that all of my powers have spaces in them, and none of them give me trouble....hmm.

OK.. I'm Out.  :D

Space in the power name shouldn't be a problem.

Do make sure you have FFX 3.2 gold or later.  The beta version had a bug in it that prevented cutscene plug-ins (and the 'uses power' thing is a cutscene plug-in) from working properly.

I've got the latest version, or at least I'm pretty sure I do.  I did combine my info from an earlier version with the new FFX folder.  I wonder if I accidentally re-introduced that bug.  What file was it in?  I can replace it and see if it makes a difference.

You know...it's funny, this is the very first mission I started working on, and it's the only one that's given me a substantial amount of trouble.  I've already finished two others and a base.txt, but this one still has to be peculiar. :P

The file to replace is m25event.py

Also make sure you have a folder with the path  missions/scripts/ffxplugins/active/m25cutscene_power

Thanks M25, I've checked those files, and replaced them, so I'll test in a bit and see if it works.

Meanwhile, I'm setting up the next mission and I could use a little advice from the EZScript elite.  I've got Batman and Robin patrolling Gotham, they come across the Joker robbing a bank.  Now, what I'd like to happen at this point is two-fold, and I know how to do each part, but I don't know how to integrate them.  So, I'd like the Joker and his minions to flee with a bag 'o cash, while at the same time, somewhere on the map, Harley Quinn appears with a bomb that starts counting down.  Any advice?

Hmm....well, I had a thought that using a start when command and "Clown Prince at Start" might work, but I didn't get a chance to see if I was right, as I had some kind of error with the heist encounter:

I'm going to try removing the Joker and seeing what happens.

Well, Joker seems to be doing something, since when I removed him that encounter ran, but I can't figure out what, as when I tried him in the rumble room, he worked fine.  The bomb encounter doesn't seem to be starting as I'd hoped.  Here is the script as it stands:

To get two encounters to run at the same time, you can branch to both using the Next: part of a lead-in encounter.


Encounter: kitty cat
Next: Clown Prince, Tick Tock


As to the other issue, something is triggering a problem with an ffx attribute.  Which ones does joker have?

Yeah, I was hoping for the counter to start only once the Joker makes his threat...but I suppose I can do it that way and just add extra time in. 

Joker has hatemonger customized to acid burnt, but I suppose I'll just change it back to the default.

Okay, monkeyed around with it some more tonight and I think it's the effects that are causing some of my problems.  I'll experiment with them more tomorrow.  However now that the bomb encounter works, I can't disarm the bomb.  There's no command to do so, and when the timer runs out, it simply recycles.

You must be running the beta version, since the disarm bomb problem was fixed in the final release.  Be sure to use the latest versions of m25enc.py and m25cutscene.py

Hmm.........I could swear that I've completely updated....I suppose I'll re-download and tripple check.

:EDIT: Okay, I've re-installed FFX 3.2, so that's all set.  I think I was up to date, but you can't be too careful.  So, I've also removed all of the 'play effect' and 'teleport' entries, as one of them was giving me trouble, and I didn't particularly care to chase it down.  Now, all of my cutscenes work, and the problems I have are pertaining to the boom.  For one, the disarm still isn't working.  Now, I think that this may be a mesh issues, as I can't effect the bomb in any way, but it shouldn't be since I added a bounding box to the nif.  I'm going to try a different mesh tonight and we'll see if that's the issue.  Still, we also have to problem of the timer.  It seems to reset after I complete the Joker's encounter.  Any suggestions?

Did you run the FFX Control Centre after updating? The absence of FFX CC branding could cause these log errors.

The mesh is a problem if you can't interact with it.  That's not an EZ script issue.

The Tick Tock encounter is restarting (or more likely starting twice), due to the flow of the mission.  Since there is no Next: line in the Clown Prince encounter, EZ script just runs the next encounter in the text.  You need a Next: line to explicitly tell EZ script what to do.

I would do it this way:

Encounter: Clown Prince
Next: None

Encounter: Tick Tock
Next: None

Encounter: Knock on Wood
Starts When: Clown Prince at end, Tick Tock at end

Thanks M25, that solves that problem at least.  Yeah, I know the mesh thing would be its own problem, and I'm going to try and test it tomorrow. 

Hmm...I THINK I've run it Em, but I'm not sure.  I've run it now, so my next test should tell me.

Okay guys, I've tested a good deal more and the bomb's problems are fixed, everything is working like a charm now, so I decided to go back and investigate the whole effects issue.  Apparently, whenever EZScript tries to play one, it chokes, and the cutscene freezes.  Here's what the script.log looks like:

[/spoiler]

As you can see, it can't find the FX, even though I've tried custom, built in, and FFX versions.  What's up?

Is "ffx_blank" listed in FFEdit when opening your mod's files?

Yep, it and all the others I've tried I looked up in the fx tab of FFEdit.  I tried that one, aff_boom_orange, generic_fire_explosion, and fire_minion_detonation.  These are all area effects, if that makes a difference.

The fx tab is only for powers.  If you want to play an effect in game on a character you have to use one from the resources tab (res.dat).  Yes, it is confusing, but that is how the game defines it.

And the "effect_ffx_blank" is also there under the resources tab, I suppose?

If it's there, please open the console from a RR mission and type:
Object_PlayEffect("hero_0", "ffx_blank")
The first hero should play the blank FX once.

(EDIT: Ninja'ed by M25)

Thanks guys, this is now working!  On a related note, is there any way to force a mission to end if you fail an encounter, or, on the other hand, force it to end once a certain encounter is completed succesfully?

To force the mission to end use

Next: End


You can also use

Next: Win

or

Next: Lose

Thanks M25, I'm slowly but surely working my way through these.  Can anyone here tell me how to add FFX weapons onto a map?

> Can anyone here tell me how to add FFX weapons onto a map?

If you haven't found it already, you can check the Mod-Making: Special Objects page of the FFX manual?

Ah-ha!  Thanks Em, I went through the manual, but I didn't think to look there....doh!  I knew the answer had to be in there, thanks again!

Okay, back on Batman, and having another spot of trouble.  I've got a mission where Batman and Robin have to search for clues while assassins hunt them.........or that's what SHOULD happen.  Instead, they spawn in and nothing starts.  Here is the script:

In FFvTTR, you can set a map to spawn a special 'target object' that is used (I think) for multiplayer missions.  Look in the directory of the map you are using... the danger.py file (or one of the py files) on line 10 is an Object_Spawn command.  Comment that line out (put a # in front of it), or delete the file completely and it should work.

Thanks M25, I figured it was something outside of my script! :)

Alrighty, well I fixed that issue, and now the spawn error no longer shows up, but the encounters still don't start.  It gives me a report about error storyfile name or something along those lines.  I've double checked the names, everything seems to be in order.  Well, I'll do some more testing and get back with more info.

Okay, I'm sick of that Batman story for the moment, so I'm working on the Question adventure at the moment.  Things seem to be working well, except the first Alert Cutscene doesn't seem to want to work.  Here's the story, and there's nothing in the script log, not much help:

Villain1 says, "You can find him at the 'ol night club, 'dats where we meet."
Hero1 says, "Thanks for the directions, now you wait here until the police pick you up, or I'll be back..."[/spoiler]

Eureka!  I figured it out, I was calling for FOUR minions to move, when there were only THREE spawning....d'oh!  It's all fixed up now, and it plays like a charm!

Alright, I've repaired two of the five broken Batman missions, but the first one has got me completely stumped.  The script.log shows nothing, no error messages.  The mission starts, but nothing spawns or initializes.  This worked perfectly last time I played it, without a single hitch.  Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it?

If you haven't made any changes to the story since you last played it, then you've likely made changes to the map and/or the .dat files, or maybe you're playing it on a different map.

Make sure the map you are using has a marker called oprea1 or oprea on it and make sure a character called lenny_weasel exists in the .dat files.   (Do you mean opera instead of oprea?)

Thanks for the response M25.  I'm afraid that I've checked all of those things already.  Perhaps I changed something without realizing it, but I certainly can't figure it out.  I checked over the map, it's got everything it needs.  I also checked on the template and character entires, and they are all solid.  Ahh, well, maybe when this is released someone would be willing to give this a closer look.

Also, can one of y'all give me an example of how the whole win/lose thing works?  Say I've got this encounter:

Encounter: Grab
Type: Snatch
Villains: thug_with_gun, thug_with_bat
Allies: civilian_female

How would I go about setting it up so that if they get away with the item, you lose the mission, but if you recover the item, you win?

Do you do something with the cutscene?

Item Lost Custscene:
Lose

Item Returned Cutscene:
Win

Or what?

For more specific things as you want to do, I'd use actions instead of standard encounters. They give you more control.

Something like this:

-------------------------
Encounter: Benton's_snatch
Type: Custom
Actions: Villains Fight Heroes, Item Exists, Item is Invulnerable, Villains Start With Item, Heroes Pickup Item, Heroes Return Item To Allies, Villains Want Item, Villains Flee
Villains: thug_with_gun, thug_with_bat
Allies: civilian_female
Item: ger_crate
Next: If All escaped: End2
Next: If Item returned: Next_encounter
---------------------------

In this encounter, a pair of thugs are fleeing from a snatch. You must knock them out, pickup the item they'll drop and then return it to the civilian female. I don't know if it'll work as it's written here, but I think it may give you the idea. If they get away with the item, the next encounter will be End2. If you recover the item and you can give it to civilian_female, it'll go to another encounter.

You may also include 'Villains fight allies' if you want them to fight the civilian_female, but if you do so you must change the ending conditions because the ally could be ko and you couldn't return her the item.

P.S.: End2 should be a cutscene encounter with the heroes saying something like 'Oh, no! The mission is lost!' (or something more imaginative) with a 'Next: End'

Quote from: BentonGrey on September 10, 2007, 09:03:14 PM
Also, can one of y'all give me an example of how the whole win/lose thing works?  Say I've got this encounter:

Encounter: Grab
Type: Snatch
Villains: thug_with_gun, thug_with_bat
Allies: civilian_female

How would I go about setting it up so that if they get away with the item, you lose the mission, but if you recover the item, you win?

Do you do something with the cutscene?

Item Lost Custscene:
Lose

Item Returned Cutscene:
Win

Or what?

You can choose to immediately win or lose a mission from the Next: section of the encounter.   Next: works on the end conditions (not the cutscenes), so you'd put them there.

For Snatch, it has three end conditions:  Item Lost, Item Recovered, and End.

If you want to lose the mission if the villains get away with the item, then use Item Lost

Next: If Item Lost: Lose

If you want to win the mission if the hero stops the villains, then use Item Recovered

Next: If Item Recovered: Win


If you want to win the mission no matter what happens, use End

Next: If End: Win


Of course, you can also use the more fine-grained actions as Imalonsof suggests, but you have to be careful to look up which end conditions are available based on which actions you use.



Also remember, that if EZscript reaches the end of your story file, it will automatically win the mission.

Thanks guys, that's a big help.  I should be able to refine several of my stories now.

I should also mention that you can, and should, have multiple Next: lines in the same encounter if you are using the If notation.


Encounter: One
Next: If Item Recovered: Win
Next: If Item Lost: Lose


or you could have:

Encounter: One
Next: If Item Recovered: Talk to the Police
Next: If Item Lost: Track Down the Villains

Encounter: Talk to the Police
...

Encounter: Track Down the Villains
...

Thanks M25!  I can use all the help I can get ;)

EZ script is having trouble spawning the characters for one of the encounters.

In the Vandalism encounter, check to make sure you have a template called thug_with_bombs.  Perhaps you mean thug_with_grenade.

D'oh!  Yeah, that's what I get for naming characters from memory.  Thanks M!  I'll fix that and see if it runs.

Okay so........you know how Batman#1 just "started" acting funny, all of a sudden?  Well......I figured out why.  It's because there is no OPREA1, but there is an OPERA1........I'm an idiot.  Well, Green Arrow1 and Batman1-4 all seem to be working.  Thanks guys!

I've got a question though.  I have a recurring issue that's not by any means hurting my gameplay, but is a bit annoying none the less.  Often, when I play a mission, the characters will speak in opposite order than I want them to.  For example, the script looks like this:

Hero1 says, "blah blah blah"
Hero2 says, "extra blah"

But what happens is, Batman is in slot one, Robin in slot two, and we get this:

Robin says, "blah blah blah"
Batman says, "extra blah"

It's a little creepy when Catwoman starts flirting with Robin, or when Black Canary starts calling Green Arrow "Pretty Bird." 

What causes this?  What's REALLY weird is, it will do this, then the next time I run the game, I'll switch the character's places to adjust, and the game will still give them the same lines as before!

The game doesn't provide a guarantee that the heroes are stored internally in the same order that you choose them, and EZscript just works with what the game gives it.

*Edit: removed the first way of doing this, as it was incorrect.*


You can use a more complicated form of the 'says' statement.

Hero1 says, if Hero1 is minute_man, "I am Minute Man."     <- only for minute_man
    if Hero1 is liberty_lad, "I am Liberty Lad."                    <- only for liberty_lad
    "I am some generic hero."                                        <- for everyone else
Hero2 says, "Good to meet you."

In other words, you can test to see if the Hero/Villain/whatever is the character you are looking for (if Hero1 is minute_man) and have them say a specific line, and then provide a generic line if they aren't the character you are looking for.

Thanks M!  That will be a big help, and I can even get fancy with it if I have the energy. ^_^

Alrighty, I'm putting together my patchwork campaign, starting with my Batman missions.  Now, I'm working on the base sceens specifically.  I've figured out most of the snags I've hit so far, but here's one that's keeping me stumped.  I've got my intermission to play fine, but the briefing won't play.  Here's the way it looks.

[spoiler]#--------------------------------------
#
#  Sample Base cutscenes for EZ script
#
#--------------------------------------


Story: My Story

#
# The base encounter will set up the camera
# and take care of any campaign housekeeping
# e.g. right after the base loads.
#

Encounter: Start
Type: Base
Marker: batcomputer1

Start Cutscene:
Camera on batman
batman says, "that's right, the Puffin diamond was worth a few million, but that's hardly enough to bring freeze out of hiding and into conflict with other members of the underworld..."
robin turns to batman
robin says, "hmm...it doesn't seem to make much sense batman, but what was it he said to you again?"
batman turns to robin
batman says, "my heart is cold, but not dead," but in the past he's always said that his emotions were frozen.
robin says, "well, maybe he's found something else to care about. maybe something 'warmed' his heart up. ha! you don't suppose ol' blue-in-the-face has found himself a girl?"
batman says, "a girl, robin? i wonder..."
Narrator says, "ALERT!"



#
# The briefing cutscene will play when the player
# selects the briefing button on the base screen.
#
# Notice the 'Starts when: Briefing' line.
# That must be there or it won't play as a briefing.
#


Encounter: Briefing
Type: Cutscene
Starts When: Briefing

Start Cutscene:
Cinematic camera on robin to batman
commissioner_gordon says, "batman? we've just received a message from the riddler, apparently he's holding the board of executives of the gotham games corporation hostage. he's demanding that they start producing a 'riddler' line of boardgames! i've got my men spread out all over town, but we can't find any trace of this maniac."
batman says, "has his usual riddle arrived yet?"
commissioner_gordon says, "yes, we recieved it just a few minutes ago. it reads, 'look for me where gotham's flowers bloom in summer, sleep in winter, and the vines are always green.'"
batman says, "Thank you Commissioner, we'll see what we can do."
comissioner_gorddon says, "We'll keep working it on our end, good luck!"
batman turns to robin
batman says, "Hmm...summer flowers blooming..."
robin says, "Well, we've got that big flower show at the Gotham Greenhouse, Babs has been trying to get me to take her all week."
batman says, "Yes, but in a greenhouse the flowers bloom year-round...and what about the 'vines?'
robin says, "I've got it! Gotham park, there's a flower garden in the center of the old maze, along with a gazebo covered in ivy!"
batman says, "Good job Robin, you head to the park, I'm going to follow up a hunch about freeze...watch yourself!"

[/spoiler]

Gordon is not actually in the base map, but as I understand EZScript, he's supposed to be able to speak anyway.

If you don't specify the marker for an encounter, it will use the default 'encounter1' marker.  If you don't have an encounter1 marker on your map, the encounter won't play.

You can just add the
Marker: batcomputer1

line to the briefing cutscene.

D'oh, thanks M, that is the problem, I'm sure. 

Okay.......this is weird.  I'm working on my first Brave and the Bold mission, and I've got something I've never seen before.  Here's what's SUPPOSED to be happening.  I spawn to 'allies,' the heroes in their civilian identities, who are meeting in a cutscene that plays before everything else.  They have a dialogue, hear a cry for help, and run off.  Now, the camera fades out, and opens back up on the actual heroes (spawned on the other side of the map by the skirmishspawn marker), who then proceed to kick some butt.  However, what is ACTUALLY happening is, the cutscene starts, Ray turns to Carter, says his first line of dialogue or so, and then they both disappear!  I don't have a clue where they go, and, more importantly, I don't know WHY they go.

Here's the script:

Ally1 says, "Wait, do you see those guys over by the market?"
Ally2 says, "Hmm, they don't look like tourists to me, and I'm guessing those bats aren't for a friendly game."

[/spoiler]

Also disturbing, the second encounter, in the square, doesn't play, and neither does the final one.  I don't really know why, but I haven't tested them very much as I've been trying to figure out why my civilians vanish.

Intro:  change Alert Cutscene:  to Start Cutscene: 

tough2:  if you are going to name a character specifically (the_atom) in a cutscene, then stick with that name throughout the cutscene.  You can't use Hero1, Hero2 and the_atom in a single cutscene as EZ script will try to find THREE different heroes to fill those roles.  Either use Hero1 or the_atom, but not both.

trap:  you wrote  1000_soldie r  instead of 1000_soldier

Thanks M25!  You never let me down man!  Alrighty, I was trying to follow your earlier instructions about setting a certain character's place in the dialogue, as both civilian identities were being read as "M250bj2," or "M250bj4."  Any clue how to change that?

EZ script looks a number of things to try and identify the characters you want in a cutscene.  The template is one of them. 

If you want to reference ray_palmer and carter_hall, just use ray_palmer and carter_hall instead of Ally1 and Ally2.  Be sure to replace Ally1 with ray_palmer everywhere in the cutscene, including camera and movement commands.

I should have mentioned this, but I tried that first, and it read all the lines with "ray_palmer" speaking, even though (and I double checked this many times) Ally2 had been replaced everywhere with carter_hall.

Hmmm, it should work.  I've re-tested it and it works fine on my end.  What version of FFX are you using?

It should look like this:

[/spoiler]

I installed your mod to see what was going on, though it looks like you have a different version already.   ^_^


For the ray_palmer issue: are you sure you haven't used the same portrait for both characters (ray and carter)?

The other issues you are having relate to naming.   In your mod you use the name 'atom', and NOT 'the_atom'.   Change 'the_atom' to 'atom' and that should fix a lot of things.

Ahh, they are probably using the same portrait, as I'm using a stand in until I can get a skin for those two!  If that's the issue, I can fix it as soon as I get what I'll actually be using.

D'oh!  Yeah, I confuse myself some times, as the names in FFEdit are usually simpler than their display names.  That should be an easy fix.  Thanks M!

Alright, another quick question.  Is there any way to force the player to use a given character for a given task?  For example, I want the Atom to investigate an object, since he'd be able to shrink down and look inside it.  Is there any way to do that with EZScript?  All I can think of right now is to fade out, teleport the Atom to the object (in case he's not already there) and have him speak the dialog.

No, you can't force the player to use a specific character.  Teleporting atom to the object and having him speak is a good way to handle the situation (I've done a similar thing myself).

Okey doke, thanks M!  I figured that was the case, and this is a pretty good work around anyway.

Alright guys, everything in the Brave and Bold mission is working, EXCEPT the second to last encounter.  The encounter itself actually plays fine, but the start cutscene just won't play.  I've tried dissecting it to see what's wrong, but nothing seems to work.  I'm hoping y'all will spot something I can't.

Double-check the markers (office2 and office3) to make sure they exist on the map and are not capitalized. 

If you are using villain markers such as office1_villain1, make sure you have all of them in an unbroken sequence up to office1_villain7 (add an extra office1_villain8 to be sure).  If they aren't all spawning, then the cutscene won't play.

D'oh!  You know, I could swear that I had already double checked this, but apparently, I'm just retarded.  Well, I only had office1_villain1-6.  I added in a 7 and 8, and that solved the problem.  The whole thing works like a charm now, thanks M!

Alrighty, all my missions are working at the moment (crosses fingers), but my base scenes are giving me a bit of trouble.  I don't really have enough experience with these to spot the simpler stuff that might be messing them up, so I'm hoping someone else can see something obvious I'm overlooking:

Neither portion is playing

The simplest thing that can cause base cutscenes not to play is not having an encounter marker to play at.

Make sure you have a marker called encounter1 on the map.

Check, I've got all the positional markers referenced in the script, plus the standard encounter markers.  Is it possible it has something to do with the object?  I'm trying to remove it from the cutscene while the camera is off of it, but I'm not sure I can use the teleport function like that.

Hmmm, on a quick read through it looks fine.  The teleport shouldn't cause a problem.  As long as all of the characters you reference exist on the map they should play. 

Did you put the ezscript campaign  base.py script into your mission directory?

Yep, it's the proper file.  Earlier, the briefing was playing, but not the intermission.  I think I may have changed the camera directions, and then even the briefing didn't play.  I can't remember exactly what I did, but it shouldn't have caused it to break.  Both jewler1 and customer1 exist, so I'm not quite sure what to do.  Here's a question though, should I call them by their name on the map, or by their template?  You know, I bet that's the problem, let me check.

:EDIT: Alright, I've just finished a lot of testing, and here's what I've got:  I had forgotten to run the Control Center after I added in the last few characters, so I figured that might have something to do with it (especially considering that jewler and customer were two of the latest).  So, I ran the CC.  I also remembered what you said about characters possessing the same portrait can give EZScript fits, so I set up an alternate civilian_male directory IN the DCUG, complete with custom portraits, same for civilian_female.  So, Ray and Jean should be set, right? 

Nope, I load up the base screen several more times and I get A) A repeating message telling me I've got duplicate values in the 'complex' entry and to run the Control Center, no matter HOW many times I do it.  I even took precautions, renaming DCUG to FFX3, because I heard the CC has issues with other mods some times.  So, the the intermission still won't play.  B) After renaming the jewler1 and customer1 to just plain old jewler and customer, the Briefing cutscene plays, BUT ray_palmer is not the ray_palmer I placed on the map.  The game picks any random civilian around the place, and makes HIM ray palmer, who proceeds to have his discussion with empty air, since Jean, wherever she is, doesn't happen to be near him.

It does sound like issues with the tags that identify each character.   The FFXCC doesn't properly generate ids for characters with the GAME_OBJ_CIVILIAN class set in their template.  If they don't have an id, then chances are EZ script won't find them correctly.

The easiest way around this is to make them some other type (such as police or hero or whatever).  Then re-run the FFXCC.

The all powerful stumpy has a somewhat more complex, but more comprehensive fix for this issue, reproduced below.  You could probably just do step 5.

[spoiler]
It can happen if the objects.dat file has duplicate complex values set for characters.  (I have not checked, but I am thinking this shouldn't happen with HERO files.)  Here is a procedure for getting what I hope is a set of clean complex values in the built-in characters.

   1. Load the datfiles module in the game or at whatever python you use. Keep in mind that from the game command prompt, the filename isn't needed (assuming you are working on the DATs for the current mod), but you will have to quit the game and restart after all this is done to have the DATs re-read.

   2. Call datfiles.Campaign_RemoveObjectAttrib() on your objects.dat file to get rid of all complex template attribute values.  The call will look something like

datfiles.Campaign_RemoveObjectAttrib('complex',r'C:\Program Files\games\Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\ffx3\objects.dat')

      (Keep in mind that, unless you are letting the game find things for you, your DAT path will likely be slightly different from mine.)

   3. Open FFEdit and click on the Templates tab.  Click Save and quit FFEdit.  FFEdit makes sure the template attributes are written one after another, with no blanks in the attribute list for an object.  Those "holes'" can cause trouble with FFXCC.

   4. Run FFXCC on that mod to tag all the regular characters.  Quit FFXCC.

   5. At the python prompt, run datfiles.Campaign_SetMissingComplexAttribs() on the objects file to tag all the characters (civilians and tanks) that the FFXCC missed.  The call will look something like

datfiles.Campaign_SetMissingComplexAttribs(r'C:\Program Files\games\Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\ffx3\objects.dat',r'C:\Program Files\games\Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\ffx3\characters.dat')

      Once again, make sure you use the right paths for your DAT files, unless you arre running from within the game.
   6. Now, for good measure, re-open FFEdit and click on the Templates tab.  Click Save and quit FFEdit.

That should be it.  The FFXCC doesn't clear the attributes for the civilians and tanks, so there should be no need to go through this again unless you add more civilians or tanks to the mod.

You should have an objects.dat with unique complex attribute values set for all characters, with no duplicates.  If you run the game and still get the message at the status window, let me know.

Thanks M25, I didn't realize that!  I will have to set them up as police from now on, so that I can get them branded.  I'll try Stumpy's fix sometime tonight, as I've added in a good number of civilian characters.

:EDIT:  Alright, I'm not quite sure I understand Stumpy's instructions.  I typed in the command (minus the directory) in the game, using the debugging mode that you can pull up with ~, but nothing happened.  Am I supposed to put it in somewhere specific?

I did it by hand, changing all the characters I can remember, including all of those involved with this scene.  However the intermission still won't play.  The briefing seems to be playing correctly now, though.  I'm still getting the 'duplicate characters' message, so I need to do the full thing that Stumpy suggests.

Yes, you do the fix in debugging mode.  You may have to type

import datfiles

to get datfiles loaded. 

Ahh, okay, that makes sense.  Thanks M!

Alrighty, well, that's taken care of, but we've still got that intermission cutscene not playing.  I can't figure out what's wrong.

It looks like there was a bug in the ez script base.py included with ffx 3.2 final.

Make sure your base.py file has this for OnPostInit()


def OnPostInit():
m25minimod.OnPostInit(campaign=1, base=1)



Your mission.py file should similarly have an OnPostInit() like this


def OnPostInit():
m25minimod.OnPostInit(campaign=1)


Thanks M, I was indeed missing those entries.  I would love to test it out and see if this works but.....something else seems to have broken.  This is weird.  You know that message you get after you accidentally open the campaign tab in FFEdit?  You know, when you go to play a rumble room mission and the game crashes, saying something about your campdef file?  Well, yesterday, after getting all those complex attributes assigned, my game started doing that to me.  Now, I didn't just open up the campaign tab and not put anything in it, I had already design the campaign of my EZScript missions, and it was working just fine earlier that day.  So, I go into FFEdit, and I check my campaign, nothing has changed.  I rename the campdef file, and the game plays fine.  So, I delete my campdef file, but now FFEdit won't let me create a new campaign!  The tab is completely grayed out, and it says read only in the bottom right corner.  What the heck is going on?!

FFedit needs any campdef file there to be able to edit it. I don't believe it has the ability to just create it's own blank copy (read-only is an attribute of a file that you can turn on and off). As for campdef/rumbleroom...in FFVTTR, the campdef needs to have a certain number of missions for the rumbleroom to work correctly. I don't remember the exact number, but I believe it's around 8 or so missions.

That's so weird Prev, 'cause I've got four, and it was working fine earlier.  Anyway, at least I know how to make it edit-able now, thanks.

Nevermind, I'm retarded.

Howdy guys, I imagine I'll be posting here a lot in the next few days as I try and whip everything into shape!  First off, Atom#2 is giving me some troubles.  The first encounter is working like a charm, but the second one doesn't want to start.  The characters all generate, but the item does not.  The start cutscene never plays either, and they all just stand there.  As always, here is the mission:

Villain1 moves to Hero1
Hero1 turns to Villain1

Villain1 says, "I...I didn't know about that. I invented a device, which can control insects, and it seemed like the perfect answer to man's pest problems...but all of the investors I approached laughed at me..."
Villain1 says, "To continue its develompent I...needed money..."
Hero1 plays animation ranged
Hero1 says, "So you decided to steal what you needed?"
Villain1 says, "You have to understand...it's my dream..."
Hero1 says, "And this gadget is worth killling for?"
Villain1 says, "A dream is always worth killing for..."

Hi Benton,

I don't know if your problem is in this encounter, but I don't understand this:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------

Encounter: Packing2
Type: Fight
Villains: league_assassin, league_assassin, league_assassin, league_assassin
Marker: pack2
Next: None

#------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why aren't you asking the script to go to the next encounter?

D'oh!  I had both Packing1 and Clue starting at the same time, so I didn't want Packing2 to start it over again.  When I changed the mission layout, trying to see what was broken, I forgot to get rid of that.  Still, Clue didn't work to begin with, so I doubt that is the problem.

Once you get rid of the Next: None line, Clue should start.

Make sure you have some encounter markers on your map.

It looks like there is a internal problem with EZ script.  You can't have two or more heroes in an examine cutscene, but as a quick fix, change the Examine Cutscene in Clue to an End Cutscene

Thanks guys!  Okay, I tried your quick fix M, and it seemed to work, after a fashion.  I set the Examine scene to a particular marker in an attempt to make sure the object was spawning.  It did, the scene played, everything worked like clockwork.  So, I put things back in the order I wanted, with the third and fourth encounters starting simultaneously, and the Examine encounter sans marker, so that it's position would be random.  I have 10 'encounter' markers, each with a specific object marker.  So, I've got encounter1_object1, etc.  However, now the Examine encounter refuses to start.  Everything else is still working, though.

Quote from: BentonGrey on September 10, 2007, 09:03:14 PM
Also, can one of y'all give me an example of how the whole win/lose thing works?  Say I've got this encounter:

Encounter: Grab
Type: Snatch
Villains: thug_with_gun, thug_with_bat
Allies: civilian_female

How would I go about setting it up so that if they get away with the item, you lose the mission, but if you recover the item, you win?

Do you do something with the cutscene?

Item Lost Custscene:
Lose

Item Returned Cutscene:
Win

Or what?

You can choose to immediately win or lose a mission from the Next: section of the encounter.   Next: works on the end conditions (not the cutscenes), so you'd put them there.

For Snatch, it has three end conditions:  Item Lost, Item Recovered, and End.

If you want to lose the mission if the villains get away with the item, then use Item Lost

Next: If Item Lost: Lose

If you want to win the mission if the hero stops the villains, then use Item Recovered

Next: If Item Recovered: Win


If you want to win the mission no matter what happens, use End

Next: If End: Win


Of course, you can also use the more fine-grained actions as Imalonsof suggests, but you have to be careful to look up which end conditions are available based on which actions you use.



Also remember, that if EZscript reaches the end of your story file, it will automatically win the mission.

And yet another post by me....sorry guys, I'm just trying to make up for lost time here.  I'm curious about this win/lose function, as I've followed your example there, but in both missions I use it, if you lose the encounter, nothing happens.  For example:

[spoiler]#----------------------------------

Encounter: Guard8
Type: Flee the Scene
Villains: freeze_lackey
Marker: cave1
Primary Objective: "Sneak past the guards."
Next: If All Escaped: Lose
Next: If None Escaped: Win
Next: If Some Escaped: Lose

Start Cutscene:
Hero1 says, "We've been spotted! We have to take them out before they can alert the others!"

Villain1 Escapes:
Villain1 says, "It's the Bat! Raise the alarm!"
Hero1 says, "We've been discovered, now Freeze will evacuate the base!

None Escaped Cutscene:
Hero1 says, "Now to get a closer look at this operation..."[/spoiler]

In this encounter, I let the guy escape, and I didn't lose the mission.  Nothing happened.  I haven't tested the win thing yet, but it is the last encounter in the script, so it's probably not an issue.

I don't really know about this but,
Next: If All Escaped: Lose
Next: If None Escaped: Win
Next: If Some Escaped: Lose
[/quote]
Why is there a Next: If ALL Escaped: Lose, When there's already an Next: If SOME Escaped: Lose or vice versa?
Although I don't know what I'm talking about so carry on... :unsure:

For the Win/Lose question: 

the Win and Lose worlds aren't being translated correctly internally under certain conditions.  What does that mean?  You did it right, but you found a bug.

As another quick fix, you can use __lose__  and __win__ instead of Lose and Win and it will work.  (That's two underscore characters on each side of the word).


Your Villain1 Escapes cutscene is incorrect though.  It should be labelled Villain Escapes Cutscene or freeze_lackey Escapes Cutscene


Encounter: Guard8
Type: Flee the Scene
Villains: freeze_lackey
Marker: cave1
Primary Objective: "Sneak past the guards."
Next: If All Escaped: __lose__
Next: If None Escaped: __win__
Next: If Some Escaped: __lose__

Start Cutscene:
Hero1 says, "We've been spotted! We have to take them out before they can alert the others!"

Villain Escapes Cutscene:
Villain1 says, "It's the Bat! Raise the alarm!"
Hero1 says, "We've been discovered, now Freeze will evacuate the base!

None Escaped Cutscene:
Hero1 says, "Now to get a closer look at this operation..."




For the Examine Encounter, I haven't been able to replicate the problem.   Make sure your object markers in this case end with 1  (encounter1_object1, encounter2_object1, encounter3_object1)

Thanks for the help guys!  I haven't tested the __lose__ thing yet, but it seems like it should work.  I have been testing the other mission with the Examine cutscene, and I've established that everything works beautifully when I specify a marker.  However, when I leave it up for random encounters it refuses to play.  I can't figure it out, I seem to have the positional markers for encounters1-10 set up appropriately, along with their particular object markers.  Still, it's not a problem, I'll simply specify a marker, and people will just have to get over it not being random.

Howdy guys, the base scene of the first Atom mission is still not working.  As a matter of fact, now it isn't even unfading.

jean_loring says, "The strangest thing happened today, and I wanted to tell you

about it."
ray_palmer says, "Well, I'm not making any progress here, let's hear your

story. What happened?"
jean_loring says, "A man named Greg Adams came into my office a few hours ago,

and asked me to defend him in court. Apparently, he is accused of stealing a

valuable diamond."
ray_palmer says, "Well, that doesn't sound particularly strange, what's his

alibi?"
jean_loring says, "That's where it gets weird, he claims that the gem just

'disappeared.' He says the clerk walked away, looking for another stone, and

Mr. Adams himself was looking at something else in the display case."
jean_loring says, "The next thing he knew, the clerk had returned and was

calling him a theif."
ray_palmer says, "And neither of them saw anyone take the stone?"
jean_loring says, "No, and neither did anyone else in the store, isn't that

bizarre? Whoever the theif was, he was very clever."
ray_palmer says, "I suppose so, that is very strange, so, how does the case

look?"
jean_loring says, "Ohh, it should be simple enough, the evidence against Mr.

Adams is all circumstantial, but if he's not the thief, who is?"
ray_palmer says, "Yes, that is the question, isn't it?"
jean_loring says, "Well, thanks for listening darling, but I suppose I had

better let you get back to work, I'll see you for dinner tonight?"
ray_palmer says, "I wouldn't miss it for the world dear..."
jean_loring moves to firstdoor1
ray_palmer turns to seconddoor1
ray_palmer says, "Hmm...this is quite a pretty mystery...I wonder if the Atom

might be able to find something the police might have overlooked?"
ray_palmer moves to seconddoor1

[/spoiler]

Any suggestions?

Go into m25config.py and set

M25_USE_REPORTS = 1

Then post the script.log


Other than that, make sure you have an encounter1 marker on the base map.

Thanks M, I'll try and do that when I come back to the Atom missions.  In the meantime, I'm trying to finish the JLA campaign, but I'm stuck on the second mission.  I'm having trouble with one encounter in particular.  What I WANT to happen is, Batman has to leave the room he's in and go to another room, where a new encounter will start, spawning villains BEHIND him.  I've tried using Local Cutscene, but the cs didn't play when he neared the designated marker.  I'm assuming that you can't designate a marker for those.  I suppose I need to use a custom encounter, but I'm not really sure what I need to have in it.

EZ script triggers encounters when the hero nears an object/villain/minion/ally etc. that belongs to the encounter.  Just having a marker isn't enough (though I can see how that would be better in this case). 

Have the Local Cutscene spawn some sort of object (even a ffx_tiggot should work) and it will trigger when the hero gets near it.

Thanks M, that makes perfect sense!

Howdy guys, I've been working on the JLA campaign again, and everything seems to be working well this time.  Bats died before I could finish the level, and I don't have time to go through the whole thing again just now, so I glanced at the script.log to see if everything was copasetic.  I noticed this error, and I was wondering if it means anything:

I have EZScript doing a 'wait' with a minute and a half as the minimum time before Superman shows up and the mission ends.  Here's the code:

[spoiler]#-------------------------------------------------------------

Encounter: Timer
Type: Wait
Minimum Time: 160

#-------------------------------------------------------------
[/spoiler]

Just wanted to make sure I hadn't screwed up something apparently simple.

Add in a maximum time as well.

Maximum Time: 170

Oh, and a minute-and-a-half would actually be 90 seconds, but I'm sure you knew that. 

Thanks M!  D'oh!  I meant to say two and a half (about).

Okay, JLA#2 is done, and JLA#3, of course, has hit a snag in the very beginning.  I've got Superman searching for Jimmy Olsen, and encountering a number of traps.  What's happening is the opening cutscene plays fine, then Supes is stuck and cannot be moved for several minutes.  When I finally got him moving, I found that the first encounter had spawned, but the cutscenes did not play.  Here's my script:

[spoiler]#Heroes: Superman

Camera on Hero1
Hero1 says, "Jimmy, have they harmed you? Why don't you say something?"

End Cutscene:
Camera on Hero1
Hero1 moves to Ally1
Hero1 says, "A little X-Ray vision solves this mystery, you're nothing but a hologram, are you?"
Hero1 says, "But where is the real Olsen? If I concentrate, maybe my super hearing can find him..."
Hero1 plays animation stunned
Hero1 plays animation ranged
Hero1 says, "Ah, found him!"

Hero1 says, "I was hoping you could tell me Jimmy, I came back to town and got a distress call from your watch."
Ally1 says, "Well, gee Superman, I don't know...I was trying to get some shots of the new display at the museum when these military guys walked up, said something about how I needed to come with them...and that's all I can remember."
Hero1 says, "Well, you better get back to the Planet Jimmy, there might be more of these things around."

#-------------------------------------------------------------

Hero1 says, "I've got to find that bomb!"

Bomb Exploded Cutscene:
Camera on Hero1
Hero1 says, "No! I failed, I was too slow...but I'm never too slow!"
Fade for 2 seconds

End Cutscene:
Camera on Hero1
Hero1 says, "Well, that should teach them to stay out of Metropolis! Now on to S.T.A.R. Labs for some answers..."

If you haven't, go to


http://ezscript.wikispaces.com/Plug-ins

and grab the update to EZ Script.   I believe it should fix the problem.

Thanks for the response M, but I downloaded all of those updates and installed them, only to find the same error:

I'm calling for two of the same item in each encounter, could that be causing problems?  Plus, Supes is still stuck for a time in the beginning of the level.

Yes, you're right.  The multiple items is causing the problem.  It's only set up to allow one item per encounter.  Try using a single item.

Okay, it's been a while since I had time to work on JLA#3, but I've finished the map for it today and have been trying to put it through its paces.  Tons of problems, as usual, meet my efforts.  First, Superman is still stuck when the level initiates.  I realized that the level didn't have a skirmish spawn and thought that might be the cause of it...but nope, still stuck.  I can free him by clicking 'turn on AI' which doesn't actually turn on the AI, but does seem to allow me to move him.  The first cutscene is still not playing, even after I've changed a lot of stuff and gotten rid of the extra items.  I'm thinking it might have something to do with the teleportation I'm calling for, but it's the same code that WORKS in my first Batman mission....I'm sort of stymied here guys.  Plus, my latest attempt crashed the game.  Here's the script.log, with no discernible errors.

I've tripple checked the marker names, so I don't believe there the problem.

This is the most Newbiesh question you'll get at this stage in this thread and it's coming from a vet! Any who does EZScript work for the 1st :ff: game also? And if it does can you point me in the right direction for a beginner to start one?

Cutscene problem:

Could it be waiting to start?  Meaning, is it waiting for you to reach the marker for it to begin?  Maybe you should tie the cutscene to a marker and teleport the hero there.  You could also try using an alert cutscene with a yellow arrow or something to get the hero to where ever the cutscene is firing.

Just some thoughts.

B92

Thanks for the response Boalt, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.  I placed the marker myself, so I made sure to move Supes right on top of it. 

'Fraid EZScript is FF2 only, Style, but I couldn't tell you why.  You'd have to ask a better brain than mine!

Forgive my confusion, but which cutscene isn't playing?

I wonder if the pain animation is causing superman to be stuck.  Try removing that line.

Ohh, sorry, I guess that wasn't very clear.  The first cutscene with Superman is playing just fine, but the cutscene fronting the first encounter is not playing at all.  I'll try that with the 'pain' line, thanks M.

Normally, if a cutscene doesn't play it has to do with EZ script not being able to find all of the required elements for the cutscene.  There must be a character to match up with each Villain, Hero, Ally, marker, etc., or there is an error in the cutscene itself.  Nothing jumps out at me though.

Please go into m25config.py and set
M25_USE_REPORTS = 1

It'll be easier to see what is going on in the log then.

Okay, I had some time to do this today, so:

The problem appears to be the marker trap1_ally1.  EZ Script thinks it is a character and not a marker since it has ally in its name. 

Villain4 teleports to trap1_ally1

The easy fix is to use a different marker.  Just trap1 should do.

Ahh, thanks M!  This has been giving me fits.  I'm really glad you were able to sort through all that stuff.  I tried, but couldn't find anything that I could recognize as a problem.

Hello again guys, I'm back in the saddle again now that the semester is over, and of course, that means I've dived right back into my buggy missions.  I've managed to solve all of the problems with my third JLA mission except one.  The final encounter is not starting, and I can't see anything amiss.  The scirpt.log is no help either, as it simply stops once the previous encounter finished.  Here is the script for the encounter in question:

[spoiler]#-------------------------------------------------------------

Encounter: Boom
Type: Disarm Bomb
Villains: disguise_martian, disguise_martian, disguise_martian, disguise_martian
Bomb: nazihq_temporal_amplifier
Next: If Bomb Disarmed: __win__
Next: If Bomb Exploded: __lose__

Alert Cutscene:
Camera on Hero1
Hero1 plays animation pain
Villain1 says telepathically, "Kryptonian! We know who you are, we know what you are!"
Hero1 plays animation stunned
Hero1 says, "A voice...in my mind!"
Villain1 says telepathically, "We possess a bomb powerful enough to vaporize this miserable little collection of primitve hovels. If you wish these morsels you call humans to survive, you have two minutes to surrender to us, and we shall spare them!"
Hero1 says, "I don't think my surrender would save Metropolis...but can I take that risk? I've got two minutes, that should be enough time. I've got to find that bomb!"

Bomb Exploded Cutscene:
Camera on Hero1
Hero1 says, "No! I failed, I was too slow...but I'm never too slow!"
Fade for 2 seconds

End Cutscene:
Camera on Hero1
Hero1 says, "Well, that should teach them to stay out of Metropolis! Now on to S.T.A.R. Labs for some answers..."



[/spoiler]

An encounter doesn't start because:
1. there are no markers available - make sure there is an encounter1 marker on the map
2. one of the villains/minions/etc. don't exist.  Make sure disguise_martian and the nazihq_temporal_amplifier are in your dat files
3. The previous encounter didn't end properly.  What was the previous encounter?

Well, encounter 1 and his friends are definitely in place, and I've double checked the names of the villains and tripple checked the object name.  That was my first thought, especially since it was long and peculiar enough that it was very likely that I misspelled it.  Ha, figures that I was actually careful enough this time.  The previous encounter seems to have concluded well, but perhaps I've missed something.  The last line of dialog plays, and Jimmy runs the direction he is supposed to.  It is as follows:

[spoiler]#----------------------------------

Encounter: MTrap2
Type: Custom
Actions: Item Exists, Villains Fight Heroes, Item Starts On Ground, Item Has Power, Item

Uses Power on Heroes, Item Can Be Switched Off, Switches Exist, Allies Can Be Freed,

Allies In Cages
Villains: disguise_martian, disguise_martian, disguise_martian, disguise_martian
Allies: jimmy_olsen
Item: nazihq_hypno_sphere
Switches: switch
Trap Power: martianw gauntlet
Marker: trap2
Next: alien2

Start Cutscene:
Camera on Hero1
Hero1 turns to Villain1
Hero1 says, "If you've hurt him, you'll regret it...whatever you are!"
Camera on Villain1
Villain1 turns to Hero1
Villain1 plays animation power
Villain1 says, "<The kryptonian survived our first trap, the yellow sun must give him

more power than we anticipated. No matter, destroy him!>"

End Cutscene:
Ally1 moves to Hero1
Hero1 turns to Ally1
Ally1 says, "Su..Superman? What...what happened?"
Hero1 says, "I was hoping you could tell me Jimmy, I came back to town and got a

distress call from your watch."
Ally1 says, "Well, gee Superman, I don't know...I was trying to get some shots of the

new display at the museum when these military guys walked up, said something about how I

needed to come with them...and that's all I can remember."
Hero1 says, "Well, you better get back to the Planet Jimmy, there might be more of these

things around."

#----------------------------------[/spoiler]

You know M, I've been testing some more, and it seems like it MAY indeed be my other two encounters not ending properly.  I'll post with an update in a few minutes.

Okay, I've confirmed it.  The bomb encounter works just fine by itself, as do the other two.  The problem arises when either of the trap encounters activate, and then somehow whatever is after them refuses to start.  I am assuming it has something to do with the traps themselves, and I noticed some slightly odd stuff at the bottom of the script.lot, but I'll be darned if I can make heads or tails of it!  Please forgive the multiple posts, but this is quite large:

In your encounter you have the line

Do you have an encounter called alien2?

Should it be
Next: Boom
?

(The log is showing that the trap ended correctly and everything played.)

Shoot!  Ahh, that's what I get for reusing my working script to try and cut down on errors......haha, that was left over from my Batman JLA mission, and I forgot to erase it!  Thanks for putting a fresh set of eyes on that M, I just did not notice at all.  I know you must get really sick of me making all these stupid errors and asking y'all to figure them out, but I want you to know that I really appreciate it man!

*Knocks on wood* Everything is going well for the moment, no major foul ups, but I do have a quick question for the EZScript gurus out there.  If I'm doing my JLA campaign, is there any way to track which characters the player chooses for one mission, and disallow those for the following mission?

:EDIT: I knew it, I absolutely knew it!  As soon as I said that, something went wrong.  JLA mission 7 was working perfectly, except for the opening cutscene.  I fixed that cutscene, and now none of the actual encounters are initializing.  I'm getting a very odd error message for each of them:

:EDIT2: Apparently its not the opening cutscene, as I removed it and got the same error message.

I would guess that martian_walker doesn't exist in your game files.

EZ script doesn't currently have a mechanism to disallow a character from participating in a mission.

All encounters translate to custom encounters internally.  Of course it doesn't make for a very illuminating error message.   :doh:

QuoteIf I'm doing my JLA campaign, is there any way to track which characters the player chooses for one mission, and disallow those for the following mission?

Could you add a simple python script to that Mission that fired off during onMissionWon()... it could cycle through the list of heroes and then un-recruit them?

Though doing it this way would mean re-recruiting them at some later mission to get them back in the available character rotation, but it seems to me that it would be pretty doable.

Hmm.......well...what this makes me think is that all of a sudden my EZScript is broken....I'm fearful that my files have gotten corrupted somehow!  Also M, what makes you think the martian_walker doesn't exist?  I'm sure it is spelled right, and that I've got it set up correctly.  Also, in the interest of self-diagnosis, what part of the error report made you think that, because I'm afraid I completely didn't see it.

Interesting Goggles, and I suppose that would be do-able.

From the log, it looks like all of the minions spawned, but none of the villains did.  The last part of the error message refers to m25_spawn, which is the part of the script that puts the characters on the map. The first villain in the list is the martian_walker (in the script.log you posted - not the EZ script encounter!), so I'm guessing that it didn't spawn correctly. 

I didn't realize that the encounter is not the same one that produced the error message... if you are getting that error on multiple encounters, then it may be that the markers are not set up correctly on the map.  Are you using encounter1_villain1 style markers?

Thanks for the response M, and yes, I am.  I didn't think about it, but that IS something else I changed.  I added villain1-8 and ally1-7 markers to each encounter marker.  I'll check over those this afternoon.

Okay, as far as I can tell, everything is set up properly on the map, but I DID recycle markers, could the settings of the individual markers be screwing things up?  I'm using one of the campaign maps, and many of the markers have different settings from the default positional ones.

I thought I replied to this already...

I'm guessing from the error log that one of the villain markers isn't set up correctly.  Make sure it is of the form <mymarker>_villain1 and that you have at least as many villain markers as villains in the encounter.  Add an extra one to be safe.

Hmm......I've double checked my markers, but I suppose I'll triple check them.  It's always possible I missed something.

As for having already replied, when the boards came back, we lost the most recent of posts, so maybe you did! ^_^

Three cheers for M25!  He figured out the problem, and now I have only one more level (plus base scenes) to go for the JLA!

Woo-hoo!  I'm working on the final mission for my first JLA campaign!  Anyway, I've got a question about how I should go about this.  If I want all of the Leaguers to participate, is there a way to incorporate Epic mode into EZscript?  If not, what would be the best way to incorporate the other Leaguers into the mission as allies?  I want them to fight alongside you for the entirety of the level.  Thanks guys!

P.S.  Sorry for the triple post, but I wasn't sure people would notice if I just edited my last one.

No epic mode I'm afraid.   :(

To get allies to join for the whole mission, just set up an Alliance encounter containing all of the allies you want.  They will follow you around for the entire mission.

Cool, thanks M!

Quick question, can I have multiple objects in a Destroy Object encounter?  I'm assuming so since the guide says "objects," but we all know what they say about assumptions.

Yes, you can have multiple objects, and all of them will have to be destroyed.

Thanks for the response M!

Okay, the final JLA mission is coming along quite nicely.  So far everything is working. *crosses fingers, knocks on wood, and hangs a clove of garlic about his neck*  However, I do have a question for the script masters around here.  For the first time I wanted to make use of the 'Banter' cutscene, to allow the final boss to reveal a bit more of the story without having to slog through one LOOOONG cutscene.  However, what I didn't realize is that the banter cutscenes constantly recycle.  Is there any way to have the banter scene play just once?

I probably shouldn't be answering because I'm not a scripter, but I think you can simulate this using EZ Script in one of two ways:

1) Break up the final encounter into a string of encounters.  When one of the small encounters ends, trigger a cutscene (using Boss says telepathically) to have the boss say something.  For example:

Encounter: Boss_start
Type: cutscene
Next: boss_thug1, boss_thug2

Start Cutscene:
Boss says, "your pitiful skills are no match for the power of the dark side!"
hero says, "you'll find i'm full of suprises!"


Encounter: Boss_thug1
Type: fight
...etc
Next: none

End Cutscene:
Boss says telepathically, "Mentor has taught you well."

Encounter: Boss_thug2
Type: fight
...etc
Next: none

End Cutscene:
Boss says telepathically, "Impressive."

Encounter: Boss_final
Type: fight
Villains: boss
Starts When: boss_thug1 at End, boss_thug2 at End
Next: none

Alert Cutscene:
boss says, "hero, mentor never told you what happend to your father!"
hero says, "he told me enough!"
boss says, "hero....I am your father!"
hero says, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"



I've been doing this another way using "Encounter Type: none" as a placeholder/status marker.  For an example, please check out this thread: http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=46445.0 (scroll down to the bottom)


2) Tie the comment to a "villain" KO cutscene.  I would suggest identifying the template instead using the generic "villain" or "minion" because you don't want the cutscene to trigger every time a villain goes down.  Otherwise, try using "minion1", "minion2", "minion3", etc.
For example:


Encounter: boss_start
Type: Fight
Villains: boss, boss_thug1, boss_thug2


Alert Cutscene:
Boss says, "your pitiful skills are no match for the power of the dark side!"
hero says, "you'll find i'm full of suprises!"

boss_thug1 KO Cutscene:
Boss says telepathically, "Mentor has taught you well."

boss_thug2 KO Cutscene:
boss says, "hero, mentor never told you what happend to your father!"
hero says, "he told me enough!"
boss says, "hero....I am your father!"
hero says, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Of course, this option requires the hero to kill off the thugs before taking out the boss.

Hope that helps.

There's no way to only play a banter scene once.  They are intended to be random bits of color.

You could also try the villain stops at X health custom encounters.

Encounter: BF1
Type: Custom
Actions: villains stops at three quarters health, villains fight heroes
Villains: myvillain named bob

... cutscenes...

Encounter: BF2
Type: Custom
Actions: villain stops at one half health, villains fight heroes
Villains: myvillain named bob

... cutscenes...

Encounter: BF3
Type: Fight
Villains: myvillain named bob

... cutscenes...



By naming the villain (bob in this example) you tell EZ script to use the same character in each encounter.  You can set cutscenes to tell your story when the villain is down to three-quarters health, half-health, etc.

Thanks guys!  Those are both excellent ideas.  I'm going to try and slap something together this evening. :D

Okay, so I'm reworking my last two fights to incorporate these ideas, but I'm having trouble with the second to last one ending (meaning I haven't even been able to test the last one)....as in, its not.  What I want is to have the villain give out a warning as she falls, but I'm fairly certain that me trying to have her talk after being KOed is what is causing the problem.  Here's the final cutscene, so how should I go about it?

:EDIT: Nevermind, I'm changing formats.  I am however getting that DoEncCustom error again.  I'm going to do a bit more testing, then I'll post.

:EDIT2: Okay, I've fixed a couple of typos, and actually thought I had this liked...but I'm still getting that same error message.  I do not have FFX 3.3 installed yet, as I'm dreading the work involved in merging everything together and backing everything up.  Here's the script.log in my next posts.

Looks like a bug.  I'm sending you a trial fix.

Thanks M!  Looks like I'm discovering all kinds of bugs.  That's just my luck! :P

Well, I seem to have hammered out some of my problems for the final JLA mission, but I'm still working on it.  I've also gone back and added in a Flash solo mission, which was fairly simple and straightforward, so of course, it didn't work correctly.  At first I had four rescue fire encounters set up, two to activate once the first two were finished, but one would finish, and the other would not, even though I had saved the civilians and defeated the enemies for both.  Then, I changed the troublesome encounter into a Building Rampage, thinking to sidestep my troubles, and it began to work perfectly.  The encounter that had previously ended properly then ceased to finish.  I'm stumped.  Here is the script:
