The Reformed (Bug Thread)

[C4]

Please post bugs and errors here and leave the other thread for discussions and feedback etc.

PLease post up your script.log files to help me identify the problems

[Gremlin]

I get through the blackout fine, but then it just cuts to Avian spawned on the rooftop and the camera is on the goon and the civilian. Nobody's moving and Avian is stuck as character 2. I can fly around and there are only two enemies on the map, the goon and a Centurion. The script.log is huge, and I don't know what's relevant, but I think it's this...it goes through step 1 it seems, but doesn't move beyond 2.

I realize not everyone is having the same issues, but I thought that I would let you know a couple of the ones I was having and the fixes i made so that you could look into them if others have problems.

1. Cutscenes Failing to play (All Missions) - for whatever reason, any cutscene that specify the position (i.e. "CAPTION_TOP_RIGHT") causes the cutscene to break as the game is seeing this as a 3rd variable when it only wants 2. If I remove the positional value from the cutscenes everything works.

2. cshelper.py - there is a script error in the cshelper.py around line 334. The indentation of the "return minion" line is wrong, and it causes python to error. This is what caused the issue experienced by myself, IPS and Baroness

3. ffx.py - there was an error on line 19254 in the "GRENADE TRACKING HEURISTICS" code. The script was calling the cshelper function 'getAll()'. It seems to need to specify the namespace or else it errors i.e. 'cshelper.getAll()'

These kinds of bugs always seem to be unique to just certain people or certain installations, so these may not be an issue for everyone. But thus far, its what has caused it to break for me and the above fixes are what made it work.

Other than that its looking really impressive. The visuals and mood are top notch.

From Goggles in PM will see into this as soon as I can.

[C4]

Gremlin you are on the intro which is just an intro to start the story and not even playable. It seems for some reason it is having a problem with me defining where the caption must be top right. In the first blackout part there was no caption defining.

But I will have to look into why it has a problem with this since it should really not.

[Gremlin]

I just deleted the caption locations from the intro mission.py and it worked fine. Then I deleted them all from the other mission.py files and I'm gonna see if it'll play. I think it'll be alright.

That is a quick fix but not really the way its supposed to be. I will though get the solution as soon as I can.

IPS could you try to copy cshelper.py in your ffx scripts folder and override the one in this mod. Then let me know how that works out. You see I don't use or change cshelper but maybe mine is outdated compared to what you guys have

its in missions scripts

Okay. It does work quite well, though. Except for the fact the ninja mission is freaking hard. Heh.

[C4]

that worked. everything seems working now. the cutscene opener is BRILLIANT! this is a REAL mod. thankyou. ok now i'm gonna go play

Ok that is the fix. Not the quick fix off removing Captions since it will degrade the storytelling experience.

Copy cshelper.py in your ffx scripts folder and override the one in this mod. You see I don't use or change cshelper but maybe mine is outdated compared to what you guys have. FFx use this file.

I will do an update with an updated cshelper.py through the day.

[C4]

Spoiler

It should be really easy actually. Just check the map for portions where the civilians are less. The range of their sight has been dropped as well so as long as you aren't close.

Actually I didn't remove the captions themselves, just the location tags. So all the "dialogue" still plays, it's just switching between top left and top right.

Spoiler

I know, I was doing that. I was almost finished, and we were almost at the last red arrow, when I shot a guy, the bullet missed, and I killed her. >.< Each subsequent time I screwed up the first bit.

[C4]

Oh heh. Another suggestion I can give to people is SAVE. This mod is challenging I think and some of the missions are long. So even myself when I play mods neglect to save because its so easy normally but save.

[C4]

hmmm it happens on step 5 of the cutscene. Lemme have a look. Did you/she start to talk to the masked thug?

[C4]

I am guessing its one of two things :

1 I called killthemall to remove all guards etc to not interfere with the cutscene to follow. This might be overloading your system.

2 I spawn back the flesh version of Silhouette. maybe the system spawned her in some way that harms the system.

In my 30 or so plays this never happened but that is on my computer so the variables.....  You don't possibly have a save game to re-enter and see if this was a one time thing?

[AfghanAnt]

I didnt get a cutscene or explanation of the objective and I got two Avians (one on a roof and in the black area of the map).

[The_Baroness]

ips i had a similar problem in that mission i restarted it and simply played it stealthy without attacking or  anything until i reached some workers that hinted me  something

Spoiler

You need to put the crane on fire, then 2 special thugs will appear creating a new  objective...

[C4]

i saved just before i got to the red arrow and retried it with the same result.

incidentally i killed all the security guys but not the workers and i took out most of the lights on the map. (i work best in the dark bay-beee) but it didn't clear the 2nd optional objective of killing the goons.

That check is done when you finish and only then does it give you the check and extra exp. You only have to take out all the guards to get this so it should give you your reward once you finish.

We will have to do tests then. maybe if we take out the killthemall and you try then. In mission 3 folder

  reachfactory_cs = [
(
       "startCS()",
       "see()",
       "peace()",
       "removeArrow('factory_arrow')",
   "Object_Destroy('silhouette')",
       "Object_SpawnAt('silhouette', Get_ObjectPos('silhouette'), 'silhouettef')",
   "teleport('silhouettef', 'si_cs')",
   "Camera_LookAtPos((-505,-674,80), 120, 10, -20, 1, CPM_SNAP, CA_MOVE)",
   "ff.killthemall()",
   "playTransition()",
   "wait(.02)",
),

take out killthemall by adding a # infront of it. like this

   "Camera_LookAtPos((-505,-674,80), 120, 10, -20, 1, CPM_SNAP, CA_MOVE)",
   #"ff.killthemall()",
   "playTransition()",
   "wait(.02)",
),

I didnt get a cutscene or explanation of the objective and I got two Avians (one on a roof and in the black area of the map).

Yes Ant copy cshelper from your ffx missions folder and into Reformed missions scripts. I will put this fix up tonight in any case.

[C4]

dren what is crashing you. Ok I am going to recreate what you just told me exactly and see what happens.

[C4]

http://starlockforfreedom.bravepages.com/Reformed/Reformed%20Bug%20Fix1.rar

There is the bug fix. right now its a rar file. I will still set it up as an exe file tommorrow morning for easy install. And load it onto the website. 

All it does is replace the cshelper.py file in your scripts folder.

[Xenolith]

The new cshelper (?) worked for me.  I ran into another problem, though.  After the "hooker" cutscene in the first mission my character would not move and I could not activte him for a while.  Well, the goons beat the snot out of me and I had to use a hero point.  Perhpaps this is just a glitch with the game? 

Also, there are quite a few typos in the text to this point.  I did have trouble following the story because I was trying to figure out what was going on. 

Spoiler

Was the kid the hooker's, and what was going on with a hook and a grandma?

Anyway, the captions come and go fairly quickly and because I was trying to figure out what was written I couldn't read the entire script in such a short time frame.  I'm not a slow reader, either.

One more thing:

Spoiler

Am I supposed to kill everyone I meet on my way to the building in the first mission?  I could not figure out how to reach the building othewise.

The atmosphere is great.  The character is fun to play.  The game screens look really cool.  I look forward to playing this some more.

[AfghanAnt]

I tried both IPS' suggestion and C4 rar and still no go.

This happened to me too. Somehow Avian's portrait got moved from the #1 slot to the #2 slot. His character wasn't selected and therefore couldn't do anything. Once you click on his portrait (or hit "2" on the keyboard) he becomes selected and you can move and fight normally. After the next cutscene, he was back in the #1 slot.

I also ran into a problem with the Silhouette "Cause a distraction at the factory" mission. I killed everyone on the map, and destroyed the crane, but I never got any red arrow or new objective.

Ant post up your script.log so I can identify and solve your problem

No you must not be seen. If you check the map a bit there is a very easy road.

Spoiler

Yes the hooker is the mother of the child and the grandma of the child so the mother of the hooker

You can point out typos if you want and I will fix them. I can't stop the bubbles from going that fast. Only voice acting will solve that issue but I am still sorting that out. 

[Gremlin]

My game just crashed in the first mission with powers after the cutscene on the roof with the thief, my first cutscene after the new objective. I cracked open the log and just noticed something...my script.log says this a whole lot. Like. A WHOLE LOT.

The error is in the file location, "Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\.\Reformed". That period shouldn't be there, methinks. Where does one fix that?

[C4]

It looks like I will have no choice but to upgrade to the new ffx release. I believe this is my ffx clashing with yours. You probably have the newest release?

[Gremlin]

Indeed I do.

[JKCarrier]

Spoiler

Did you get the hint cutscene of the workers? You where not supposed to destroy the crane

Spoiler

I did get the cutscene where they said something about the crane catching on fire. I shot the barrels next to the crane, but that just damaged it a little, so I finished it off with kicks and stuff. What was I supposed to do?

[C4]

oh boy. you did the right thing. would it be possible to post up a script.log something is wrong.

[JKCarrier]

Here's the script.log. I had to edit it down to make it fit... a lot of it was the same lines repeated many times. If you need to see the whole thing, I could email it to you.

[C4]

I know what is the problem.

Spoiler

You killed the workers at the warehouse that is suppose to be "distracted" and go take out the fire.

I have to add if object exist.

[C4]

I will put the fix with improvement to new ffx release and fixing the errors mentioned here either today or tommorrow. I must just make sure the merge to new ffx does not bring new errors which is exactly why I was afraid to do it in the first place.

So for those waiting for this fix I will get it up as fast as I can.
