I've got two questions concerning this code

COPY_EXISTING ~UHFARM03.cre~ ~override/MWAndia.cre~
SAY NAME1 ~Andia~
SAY NAME2 ~Andia~
WRITE_ASCII DEATHVAR ~MWAndia~
WRITE_ASCII DIALOG ~MWAndia~

I) Does WRITE_ASCII recognise DIALOG? I know it does DEATHVAR, but I can't find the list

II) The new death variable (and dialog) file name is shorter than the older one and WeiDu warns for this saying this:

Note, that if you?re WRITE_ASCIIing to say, the death variable, and the previous death variable entry is longer than the one you?re writing, then you?ll have spillover after WRITE_ASCII. To avoid this, embed a null character at the end of your string. So, if I have

WRITE_ASCII 0x280 ~Guy~

I would want to put a null character right after the y in Guy. You can do this by using a hex editor and inserting 00 after the y.

What are null characters? Sorry, to say this but are they simply using difficult language to say you ought to add two 0's (= zero) or am I missing something. I guess I do, for adding two 0's would just make the DV MWAndia00, or not? What am I exactly to do?

Thanks for any help in advance

1) WeiDU documentation has full listing of constants you can use (yes, DIALOG works).

2) What you want to do is add "#x" as another parameter to WRITE_ASCII, which will fill out the entire entry. Death variables are 32 bytes, so in this case, it would be WRITE_ASCII DEATHVAR ~Guy~ #32. DIALOG and the various SCRIPT_* are 8 bytes. You can't "type" null characters like a "0."

Thanks for the tip. The Read-me I got with the download (which where I found the warning), but the documentation I don't have.

[SConrad]

My URL is correct - are you perhaps behind a router or something?

[Deathsangel]

I am. However, I just figured out a trick

[Deathsangel]

Euh... okay now I am going to be the annoying boy. I am trying to parse stuff and I am horrible at tracking mistakes.
This file has one that says ought to be in the MWCONAndia9 line... Any help?

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN MWCONAndia8
SAY ~Here is ten gold. A small fee, if you will please be so kind as to forget it.~
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~If you insist.~ DO ~GivePartyGold(10)~ EXIT
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~I have no need of your money, I am just curious.~ GOTO MWCONAndia9
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Ah, that is a good deal.~ DO ~GivePartyGold(10)~ EXIT
END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN MWCONAndia9
SAY ~Curiousty killed the cat. If you are just curious and have no true need to know than I am sure you can leave it.~
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Okay, I will.~ GOTO MWCONAndia7
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Okay, I will. Can I still have the gold?~ GOTO MWCONAndia8
END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN MWCONAndia10
SAY ~I understand. I will simply live my life here and know you live.~
IF ~~ THEN DO ~ActionOverride("MWAndia",EscapeArea())~ EXIT
END

[Rastor]

What's the message WeiDU is giving you?

[Deathsangel]

Simply

parsing error,
line ...
near SAY
fatal error

and so forth. I really hope that I can nail this mistake.

Can you post, say, another 20 lines above the state before? Sometimes, it's buried pretty far back.

Here ya go. At least I am not the only one having problems witht his

[berelinde]

I don't see anything. Anybody else?

[berelinde]

What exactly is the message WeiDU is giving you? If you quoted it verbatim, it might provide a better picture of what is going on.

[Deathsangel]

Here is the WeiDu error. Sorry it took so long but I was at work

Oh! This is during traification, not compilation!

Please, please, oh please, make sure everything compiles properly before traifying. Because it's really a pain to make changes afterward. Just a hunch, but you might need a THEN before the DO ~GivePartyGold(10~.

[Deathsangel]

Okay after many many fixes by me and my wonderful debugster It installs!!!!

However, it isn't good yet. I get a lot of warnings! I have to look at the HAEGAN warning. I just saw it for the first time.

But more importantly It is complaining about the "ArienaRedemption" and "ArienaFallen" Globals, see attached .debug. Now these globals are set in the file of a NPC via an APPEND to ArienaJ and the complains are from other files... what I can do/must I do to get rid of these warnings? (And yes checked spelling is correct)

trigger should be not

~("ArienaRedemption","GLOBAL",1)~

,
but

~Global("ArienaRedemption","GLOBAL",1)~

.
And really, register your prefix for variables etc. You can do it at BWL

Thanks for the explanation.

I wonder why I have to do this perse at BWL? It is already announced that I will take 'MW'. I will try and see if I can find the right topic at BWL. That not all of my globals work with that for the moment is because I will clean up later.

because the list is mantained at BWL). I don't know where did you anounce it, but I doubt anyone would look if prefix is already taken in any other place then the list. Topic is hard to miss, but here you are, anyway: http://forums.blackw...p?showtopic=113
