FFX Problems

[darkphoenixII]

A couple of issues, the most pressing being that FFX3 isn't working, as in it's not initializing in the game. It's been working fine before hand; it didn't start acting up until I made a minor mistake in the ffxcustom2.py file under Bulk Teleporter, and then this message came up when I went to the Danger Room saying that it didn't recognize the script. I fixed it, and went back, only to be told that there was an error in the m25ai file, which I hadn't touched. As if this were not disconcerting enough, I replaced it with the original, only to discover that now it FFX wasn't working period. I tried reinstalling, which worked for a bit, and when I tried to save the custom settings for my hero files, it went back to not working. On the bright side, I've managed not to smash this computer in half out of sheer frustration. Anything?

Obviously, you want to start with the usual double-check that your shortcut didn't get messed up somehow and that it's still set up to start the mod. And, of course, that you've run the FFX Control Centre for the character in question.

After that, you probably need to post your script.log so that we can see what the game is trying to do and where it is getting an error.

It might also help to say more exactly what the symptoms are. That is, do none of the FFX attributes work (if you give a character the RESILIENT attribute, does he have the extra health?) or just certain ones? Are the FFX attributes even showing up in the attributes list in the character generator? Etc.

Hmmm...nothing amiss about the icon.

["C:\Program Files\Irrational Games\Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich\ffvt3r.exe" -game ffx3 -log]

And absolutely none of the FFX attributes are working. They show up in the editor. But I did find something unusual in the FF text doc:

...]

It continues for every single attribute included with the mod.

As for the script.log file...I'm not quite sure what to make of it:

I don't know if this is the only issue at play, but it appears that there is some problem in reading your fx.dat file. You may have a corrupt fx.dat and it may help to get a fresh copy.

It's also possible that there's an error in the DAT reading code (though I would hope that's not the case since it is only now showing up). If replacing fx.dat doesn't work, then it would be helpful to get a little more info on what is going on during the DAT read. Open the console and enter the following two lines (or paste them, but only one line at a time):

Code Select Expand

import datfiles
datfiles.Campaign_ReadFX(ForceRead=1,verbose=1)
And then post the result from script.log.
