| Post subject: | Crippling Error in First Mod |
This is my first mod and I've been bug fixing and rewriting code for the last 3 hours. Nothing I do seems to work, I simply get a "Could not match property" error. The error always occurs in the first line of the code that the index calls. I even tried to route it through a useless Devices.ini file as well. I also split the round and the magazine into different files instead of simply declaring them earlier in the original rifles.ini. I have also reinstalled the game more than once with no effect. This is probably a simple error born out of lack of experience in coding in general so if someone could simply point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. This is a link to the entire mod directory in a RAR Archive. |

Your tabbing is ♥♥♥♥ up. Use the TAB key on your keyboard, it's much easier to use and it actually works compared to the spacebar. So it would be like Code: DataModule ModuleName = Haloz! IconFile = ContentFile Path = Mod.rte/ModuleIcon.bmp IncludeFile = Mod.rte/Devices.ini |

I may not be a professional programmer but I've been coding long enough to know to use the tab key. Maybe the conversion from txt to ini or the switch from notepad to notepad++ f***ed up the spacing |

The spacing in the other ini's seems to be tabbed. Fixed the Index but it still throws the same error. Did you test it? |

I got it to work but at some point I must have accidentally reset all the values to AK. Dammit... |

Yeaaa I is a forum noob  I got past the initial wave of fail but now I'm getting an error that says something along the lines of "cannot load file: Mod.rte/Devices/Battle Rifle000" even though the file Im trying to call is Battle Rifle.bmp. Ive moved the snippet of code that calls it around. I've moved the file, renamed the file, and made a new file with the exact same image in it. Any help would be much appreciated (thanks for putting up with my noobiness). Here's the new one.

The FrameCount is set at two. You have only one battle rifle sprite. Find this area of code, then change "FrameCount" to 1. Code: AddDevice = HDFirearm PresetName = Battle Rifle AddToGroup = Weapons Mass = 12 HitsMOs = 0 GetsHitByMOs = 1 SpriteFile = ContentFile FilePath = Mod.rte/Devices/Battle Rifle.bmp FrameCount = 2 |

Can't thank you enough. It's still running really poorly with tons of visual glitching, but I don't wanna take up anyone else's time. Thanks a ton guys

Is it in palette? |

Ah, I saw a few references to that in the past. That's probably my issue. |

Yeah, look into Base.rte. There should be a file aptly named 'palette', you can only use colors from there when making sprites. If you use GraphicsGale and open a sprite that has been made using the palette it will automatically swap the normal palette window with the CC palette, which is pretty kickass. |

Thanks for the help. Just got sidetracked by getting an M2 rocket, filling it to the brim with incendiary grenades and instantly winning by crashing it into the enemy base. Almost as fun as dropping a drop crate with thousands of crabs in it. The shockwave kills everything on the map XD |

It's not actually the shockwave, that bomb abuses the MOID limit, in other words, the max cuantity of movable objects in game. When it reaches the limit (255 MOs) it starts gibbing the oldest MOs in game. |
