(I'm using Blackbird and Liberty Lad as placeholders for you-know-who and you-know-who. ;) )
The first encounter goes off without a hitch, but neither of the next two encounters will trigger:
If the Ally dies, the mission immediately ends, instead of going to the "Not Another Dead Robin" encounter.
If the Ally is saved, the "Allies Saved" cutscene plays, but then the "Every Cop A Criminal" encounter never starts.
Help?
Hey JKC, welcome to the joys of EZScript! ;) Here are a few pointers. First off, you'll probably want to post in the Scripting area, you'll likely get more replies by EZScripter veterans. Now, I haven't gone through this script really closely yet (I'll try to give it a better look this afternoon), but I have noticed a few things that might help you out. First off, you're using Hero instead of names or numbers. I'd suggest calling the actual names, as it helps EZScript not get confused. If not, then do use numbers, so that you won't have things get too jumbled (Hero1, Hero2, etc.). Also, make sure to leave a blank line after each encounter, before the #-----. Also, I see you're missing a Start Cutscene: (or Alert Cutscene, or whatever) entry in your Not another dead robin encounter. That is probably why it isn't playing. In the Cop one, you'll want a Villain instead of a minion. EZScript doesn't like interrogating minions. I'd also encourage you to call it specifically, Villain1, so that EZScript won't get confused.
Ah I love your ezscripts. Thanks for this one. Are you old ones available anywhere? I lost them when I got a new puter.
Oops, sorry about posting in the wrong section. If a mod could move this over to "scripting", that'd be swell.
Benton: Thanks, I will try making those changes.
AA: You can get the "Party Peril" mini-mod here:
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/jkcfreedomforcestuff5
This one I'm working on now is somewhat more serious, but should be pretty strange...
Not the wrong section per se, JKC, just that you might get more responses in Scripting. :)
I've gone over it again, and I see that you also need a cutscene start in Divide and Conquer as well. "Start Custscene:" or whatever.
Those fixes did the trick, Benton! Everything's triggering correctly now. Thanks! :thumbup:
Now on to the next mission... stay tuned for more dumb questions... :unsure:
No problem man! I've had more than my share of maddening little errors like that, so I'm happy to help. Heaven knows M25 and Empithee both had to work hard enough to straighten me out! :D
I have an EZ script editor very close to completion that will help to point out problems. I'll add 'missing cutscene name' to the list.
Wow...that's the coolest thing ever M! That would save SOOO much time!
That does sound useful M25. Another reason I should try out easy script.

Done. ^_^
Still working on the mod... M25's awesome script editor has been keeping me out of trouble so far ;) but I've run into a snag I can't figure out.
Here's the script (still using generic templates as placeholders for characters to be filled in later, and I've removed most of the dialogue to make it easier to read):
Story: Strictly Business
#----------
Encounter: Run The Gauntlet
Type: Fight
Minions: legionnaire
Next: Ruby's Revenge
Alert Cutscene:
Cinematic Camera on liberty_lad to sky_king
liberty_lad says, "doesn't look like anything in the mansion has been disturbed."
Red Arrow on Minion1
Start Cutscene:
Cinematic Camera on sky_king to Minion1
sky_king says, "hold on... did that armor just move?"
liberty_lad says, "must be your imagination."
Minion1 plays animation power
sky_king says, "my imagination, my foot! look out!"
End Cutscene:
Cinematic Camera on sky_king to liberty_lad
sky_king says, "wayne sure has some interesting security!"
liberty_lad says, "this wasn't bruce's doing. alfred would never stand for turning priceless antiques into killer robots!"
liberty_lad says, "let's keep looking."
#----------
Encounter: Ruby's Revenge
Type: Chat
Allies: bacchite_red
Villains: thug_with_bat, thug_with_gun, thug_with_grenade
Next: Ruby's Retreat
Alert Cutscene:
Cinematic Camera on liberty_lad to sky_king
liberty_lad says, "i hear someone in the study."
Red arrow on thug_with_bat
Start Cutscene:
Cinematic Camera on liberty_lad to bacchite_red
bacchite_red says, "how unbelievably rude. doesn't anyone knock anymore?"
liberty_lad says, "ruby ryder! you're bruce wayne's biggest business rival. what are you doing here?"
bacchite_red says, "you're starting to bore me, teen wonder. and since you and your hairy friend are trespassing, i'm perfectly within my rights to have you ejected...forcefully."
bacchite_red says, "enough, already! get 'em, boys!"
Chat Cutscene:
Cinematic Camera on liberty_lad to bacchite_red
bacchite_red says, "<sigh> that's what i get for hiring the handicapped. you realize you still have nothing to arrest me for? this is all strictly business."
sky_king says, "i'm afraid she has a point."
liberty_lad says, "maybe, but i still..."
#----------
Encounter: Ruby's Retreat
Type: Remove Ally
Allies: bacchite_red
Next: Gentleman's Gentleman
Start Cutscene:
bank_manager says telepathically, "i say! is someone out there? i could use a spot of assistance here!"
sky_king says, "that voice sounds familiar."
liberty_lad says, "alfred!"
#----------
Encounter: Gentleman's Gentleman
Type: Rescue Caged
Allies: bank_manager
Next: End
Alert Cutscene:
Red arrow on bank_manager
Camera on liberty_lad
liberty_lad says, "it's coming from the next room. hang on, alfred!"
Start Cutscene:
Camera on bank_manager
liberty_lad says, "there he is!"
sky_king says, "we'll have you free in a jiffy, mr. alfred."
End Cutscene:
liberty_lad walks to bank_manager
Cinematic camera on liberty_lad to bank_manager
bank_manager turns to liberty_lad
bank_manager says, "thank goodness you've returned, master robin! things are in a dreadful state!"
In the "Ruby's Revenge" encounter, I wanted the head badguy (bacchite_red) to be in the scene, and be interrogate-able, but not actually take part in the fight. So I set her up as an Ally and made it a Chat Encounter. Then I have "Ruby's Retreat", a Remove Ally Encounter, to get rid of her. All that plays out fine, but then the next encounter, "Gentleman's Gentleman", never starts. Where am I messing up? Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Hmm, on a quick read through I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary. I'll try and give it a closer reading tomorrow.
bank_manager is not a part of FFvTTR, so that may be the problem.
It does play for me, but I had to add the bank_manager.
At any rate, you don't need the Remove Ally encounter. It is used to remove named allies that follow you around, not regular allies that are only a part of a single encounter. EZ script will remove the chat character automatically.

Aha, that's probably it. Looking at FFEdit, there is a template for him in my main FFX3 folder (which has all kinds of add-on clutter in it), but not in the "clean" install I did for my mod folder. I'll swap it out for something else.
QuoteAt any rate, you don't need the Remove Ally encounter.
Even better. Thanks!
You can change the dat files directory in the configuration window (under the Panels menu) to the actual mod folder you are using and it will point out when a character is missing.
D'oh! You know, I noticed that, but I thought that he was probably someone JKC had added in. You know what they say about assumptions. :P
A question about "Examine" encounters: I notice that after you've clicked on the object, it disappears a few seconds later. Is there a way to make the object stay around?
If you give an object or character a name, then they won't be culled when the encounter is over.
Objects: crate named bob
Great, thanks! Can't have that giant penny disappearing from the Batcave. ;)
So, playing the demo for "Arkham Asylum" put me in the mood to work on this again. ^_^ A couple questions:
1) How do you get your mission objectives to show up on the "Objectives" tab? I've got them called out in my script, e.g.:
Encounter: Every Cop A Criminal
Type: Interrogation
Marker: policestation
Villains: cop_crooked
Minions: cop_crooked
Primary Objective: "defeat the crooked cops!"
Next: Divide and Conquer
and I used the EZ Script Editor to generate the captions (and FFEdit to generate the language DATs). All the dialogue and talking heads stuff works, but the Objectives are blank. Is there something else I need to do?
2) Is there a way to get rid of that initial cut scene when you start a new campaign (the animated one that recaps the first game)?
Thanks!
2. You can't completely remove the opening cutscene like you could in FF1, but Lunarman made a simple fix for that sometime ago. Find it here: http://thedod.freedomforceforever.com/
Another Mod? Great!
The only thing I saw missing was the prestige and xp values to your objective.
Maybe something like this works:
Primary Objective: "Defeat the crooked cops" for 200 prestige and 10 xp
Hope it helps!
Previsionary - I'm getting a "Error 403 - Forbidden" when I try to follow that link.
John Jr. - Aha! That did the trick. Thanks! I wondered why there were prestige awards in the Legion mod, when they weren't actually levelling up (great mod, by the way). :lol:

I'm glad you liked the Mod, JK. I will use more of your creations in part 2 (i love your 70's Supergirl!).
I'm receiving the "Error 403 - Forbidden" message too, but I have the files you need. I'll send it to you.
Got the start files, thanks John!
You're welcome, JK.
Good luck with the Mod!
I'm having trouble setting up a "Heist" encounter. The encounter itself seems to work, but neither the "Item Lost" nor the "Item Recovered" cutscenes play. As soon as I beat the enemies (or they escape), it just jumps immediately to the next encounter. Here's the script:
#----------
Encounter: Z Marks the Spot
Type: Heist
Villains: mafioso
Minions: thug_with_bat, thug_with_gun
Item: zorro
Marker: museum1
Primary Objective: "recover the stolen painting!" for 1 prestige and 1 xp
Next: Crime Alley Reunion
Alert Cutscene:

narrator says, "normally, the masked crimefighter known as batman patrols these streets..."

batgirl says, "it's been over a week now since anyone's seen batman. OR bruce wayne."
batgirl says, "if anyone can take care of himself, it's the caped crusader."
batgirl says, "but i can't help feeling that something is seriously wrong."

batgirl turns to Villain1
batgirl says, "an alarm! sounds like it's coming from the gotham museum."
Red Arrow on Villain1

Villain1 turns to Minion1
Villain1 says, "shaddup and grab dat pitchur for the boss!"

batgirl says, "i'm happy you boys have an appreciation for fine art..."
batgirl says, "...but that doesn't mean you can take it home with you!"
Villain1 turns to batgirl
Villain1 says, "crud! it's the bat-dame! grab the merch and run!"
Item Recovered Cutscene:
Cinematic Camera on batgirl
batgirl says, "wait...this isn't a painting, it's an old movie poster!"
batgirl says, "'the mark of zorro'."
batgirl says, "out of all the pieces in the museum, why steal this?"
Item Lost Cutscene:
Cinematic Camera on batgirl
batgirl says, "they got away!"
batgirl says, "(sigh) all that time in washington playing congresswoman has made me rusty."
batgirl says, "i'm glad robin wasn't here to see that. he'd never let me hear the end of it!"

It may be a bug in EZ script. As a work around, you can put a Cutscene encounter in between Z Marks the Spot and Crime Alley Reunion
Z Marks the Spot
Next: if Item Lost: Painting Lost
Next: if Item Recovered: Painting Recovered
...
Painting Lost
Type: Cutscene
Next: Crime Alley Reunion
Start Cutscene
<the item lost cutscene>
Painting Recovered
Type: Cutscene
Next: Crime Alley Reunion

That worked! Thanks!
This isn't specifically an EZScript question, but I'll throw it out here anyway, since it relates to my mod:
I'm having trouble getting FFX swaps to work with my built-in characters. Here's the ffxcustom.py entry:
["batgirl","speedincrease","throw","batgirl judo toss"],
["batgirl","energise","grapple","batgirl wrestling hold"],
["robin","energise","tangle","robin bat bola"],
]
Instead of the swaps, they're just doing energize and speed increase.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Nothing looks wrong with your state swaps and nothing in the script.log points out any errors on that end (of course, I did just glance it). Have you tried running the powerID generator? Do your stateswaps work in rumble room at all?
Ah, I knew I was forgetting something. Running the Power ID fixed it. Thanks!
My first mission is working well, so I moved on to mission 2...and of course, ran into problems right away. :angry:
My hero isn't spawning. When you go to select your squad, he's right there on the list (there's only one hero available for this particular mission), but once the mission starts, it skips the initial cut scene and goes right to the first encounter, with no hero present.
It might be a map problem. The one I'm using (the "Witness" mission from the FFv3R campaign) wasn't EZScript-ready, so I had to add the "skirmishspawn" and "encounter1", "encounter2", etc. markers myself. I also deleted all the Centurions, Nazis, and other enemies, as well as some objects that I didn't want on there. Maybe I messed something up in the process?
I'm using the same map for the base screen as the mission. Is that a no-no?
Here's my EZScript:

Do you have a "hero_1" marker laid out anywhere? That has to be placed for heroes not directly placed on the map so that they have somewhere to spawn. Also, yes. You can use the same map for both the base and actual mission with no problems.
The map had the "hero" markers on it, and I took them off, because I thought that's what the "skirmishspawn" was for. :doh: It's working now, thanks again!
Stay tuned for more dumb questions... :unsure:
In a "Disarm Bomb" encounter, what's the proper syntax for marking the bomb with an arrow? I tried "Yellow Arrow on Bomb", "Yellow Arrow on Bomb1", "Yellow Arrow on Object1", and even "Yellow Arrow on alarmbox" (the object template name), and none of 'em worked. I guess if all else fails, I could just put the arrow on the villain guarding it, but I was wondering if there was a correct way to do it.
You can't attach an arrow directly to the bomb. Yeah, put it on one of the villains or on a nearby object.
That'll work. Thanks, M25!
A question about EZ Script Editor: When I tried to generate captions for my latest mission, I got a pop-up box with the message:
Manager.Notify: Unable to invoked notify for generate captions --- '"speech"'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 171, in captions
File "<string>", line 183, in Notify

Any idea what that means?
Urk. The caption generator didn't work for some reason.
There should be more to that error message if you look back a number of lines in the script.log. Can I see the rest?

Make sure you have the editor pointing to the right directory where the language files are stored. Make sure you don't have any : (colon characters) in the speech.

I did some more testing on this. Apparently, it's the "batman says telepathically" lines that are causing it to choke. If I take those out, the captions generate fine.
One more update on the captions thing: I copied my mission file over to the ffx3/stories directory, ran the "Generate Captions" Rumble Room mod, and that worked fine. So I have a workaround, even if the EZScript Editor problem can't be figured out. ^_^
The one time I've used that command (says telepathically) it just played as a normal X says.

Will a normal "X says" still work if the character isn't otherwise in the mission? I'm using it here to represent a tape recording being played.
No. You would either have the put character X somewhere out of sight on the map, use the narrator or you could play an actual sound file.

Hmm, there's an idea. "No wonder we couldn't find Batman, he was stuck in the wall!" :lol:
Ok, with some
nagging encouragement from Benton, I pulled out my dusty mod files and started working on this again. And of course, ran into brand-new errors! :wacko:
On a particular encounter, as soon as the Alert Cutscene starts playing, I get the following message printing out on the screen:

NEW CIVILIAN/TANK:ALFRED.RUN DATFILES.CAMP
(this repeats a few times, followed by)

and the game starts stuttering, hesitating every couple of seconds.
Here's the EZ script for that encounter (with cheesy dialogue removed):

Check out the "HeroIndexData" and see if these characters are listed with individual numbers. If you classified them as civilians before you run Control Center they won't have "complex numbers" and the game won't be able to load them correctly.
You can check it out in FFEdit too, just open the "Templates" tab and look for "complex" in the "Attributes Overrides" list.
Hope it helps.
Wow.........that is SUPER helpful. Why didn't my game give me that info when I had those types of errors? That hardly seems fair. Anyway, ASSUMING that your issue is indeed what the game seems to be telling you, JJ is right. You've run into the nefarious civilian error. Templates set as civilians are ignored by the CC, so you'll need to make sure you have them set as minion, cop, hero, or what have you, in order to ensure they get branded. You can always change them back to civilians later.
Ack! I almost forgot! I'm thrilled to hear you're coming back to it, JKC. I can't wait to play your mod! Definitely post if/when you run into any errors, and we'll see you through.
Thanks, John...the "Civilian Bug" was the problem, and switching the object type fixed the encounter.
Now, of course, the next encounter is bugged. :doh: As soon as the Alert Cutscene starts, the screen goes into "cutscene mode", but then the game locks up before the dialogue is delivered. Here's the script:

So what'd I screw up this time? :lol:
Alright, there isn't anything in the script.log that jumps out at me, but when I get an error like that, it is usually because I've forgotten something. My first piece of advice would be to check on the animportraits of all characters involved. Are they all there? Do the all point to the right place? I know I've changed meshes some times and forgotten to update the path, thereby causing just such a problem. Let me know if that leads to anything. If not, we'll go from there.
Geez...wasn't even the animportrait, just a missing head.nif. :doh: Working fine now, stay tuned for more goofball mistakes...
Ha, don't feel to bad about it, JKC. I've had tons of experience with this stuff by now, but I still make those mistakes EVERY SINGLE TIME I start a project! :P
There's so many things we have to do to create a mod that's almost sure we'll forget something, JKC. Please feel free to post here any other problem, after all two or three heads are better than one.
I'm glad to hear you're making a mod, it's great to have other EZScript modder around.
Question about "Switchable Power Trap" encounters: Is it possible to specify where on the map the switch will appear (the way you can control the placement of Villains, Minions, etc.)?
Yes, absolutely you can! All you have to do is specify a marker for the encounter: place1, and then just like you do with place1_villain1, etc, you can do with switches: place1_switch1. I hope that's clear!
Awesome. Thanks!

Any ideas?
I've only got time for a very quick look at the moment JKC, but this caught my eye:
SyntaxError: invalid token
m25obj_14 arkhamthug howard1_minion1
m25obj_16 arkhamthug howard1_villain1
I'm guessing that the game is choking on something related to your thugs or those markers. I'm not entirely sure.
Arlight, after a bit more reflection, I think that Batgirl's dialog MIGHT be breaking the encounter. Send me the unedited mission.txt, JKC. In the meantime, though, it might be a good idea to double check the markers for that encounter.

I've tried messing around with EZscript, but it seems like my own attempts at original dialogue also tend to break encounters or prematurely end cutscenes. Any tips?
Haha, yeah, EZScript can be rather picky at times. Check out the sample missions I posted on The Greylands: http://bentongrey.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/the-anatomy-of-an-ezscript-adventure/
That gives you some general advice, and there are a few more related stories there as well. As for things specifically relating to dialog, there are a few rules that it is wise to follow. First, always make sure to do your composing in the EZScript Editor. It will make your life a thousand times easier. Second, make sure that all the names and markers in your encounters are correct. If you've got a line of dialog being spoken by Shredder, but Shredder isn't in that encounter, the game will choke. Third, never use esoteric punctuation. Stick with periods, commas, question marks, and exclamation points. Don't use colons, semi-colons, or anything else in your dialog. The same goes for underscores and other symbols. Fourth, names are important, so make sure to simplify everything as much as possible. If you're working with a built-in character called Awesome Guy the Unstoppable!!, then you'll want to simplify that, both for EZScript's sake, and your own. The simpler something is, the easier it is to remember and check. So, you'd want to change Awesome Guy's name to awesomeg, or something equally easy. For built-ins you can always create a string entry that will give them a different display name anyway.
Feel free to post your EZScript drafts, Winters. We'll be happy to look them over and give you some pointers. :)

Thanks, I'll double-check the markers. What's your email?

Which turned out to be my problem as well. Thanks for helping me sort it out, Benton!
Awesome, so glad I could help JKC! Feel free to bring me simple problems like that any old time, my friend. Ha, mine are usually layered with about five problems like that, and maybe something inexplicable too! ;) I just knew it had to be more complex. I'm glad to hear it wasn't.
Hmm...I should do a new blog post about things NOT to do with EZScript, because things like adding in a colon or other symbol can cause tons of trouble, and no-one knows about it.
Good idea, Benton. I had an entire cutscene go crazy because of a ":" in a sentence. EZScript is very sensitive about the way we write our speech lines.
