Re: Alteisen Arsenal Labs MOD without units? What you want to do is comment it.
There are two ways to do that, either would be reasonable for that amount of text. A) You can put two slashes at the beginning of each line, like this. Code: // IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Runner/Runner.ini // IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Pilot/Index.ini // IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Slayer/Index.ini // IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Marine/Index.ini // IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/MPAM/Index.ini // IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Tank/Tank.ini B) You can put a slash followed by a asterisk on the blank line before that bit, and a asterisk followed by a slash on the blank line after it, like this. Code: /* IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Runner/Runner.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Pilot/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Slayer/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Marine/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/MPAM/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Tank/Tank.ini */ Method A is inline commenting, sometimes called single line commenting, which is the simpler choice, but a hassle when you're dealing with a lot of lines. It comments out the rest of the line after the slashes; anything to the right. Putting the slashes at the beginning of a line makes the entire line commented Code: //Line, whole thing is commented. Code: Line that isn't commented, until // now, after the slashes Method B is block commenting, sometimes called mass commenting, which is less of a bother for cases where you need many lines commented because it's just four characters with as much as you want put in the middle. It seems most organized when you give the starting and ending things their own lines, but that isn't necessary. Code: /*Mass = 0 RestThreshold = -1 LifeTime = 600 Sharpness = 0 HitsMOs = 0*/ Code: /* Mass = 0 RestThreshold = -1 LifeTime = 600 Sharpness = 0 HitsMOs = 0 */ throw on wiki y/n Last edited by Azukki on Wed Mar 25, 2009 12:33 am, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: Alteisen Arsenal Labs MOD without units? y, but put a note about how mass-comments don't count towards linecount when CC is sifting through the .ini. It can mess you up when you're trying to work through errors that list a linecount. Nicely written.

It can mess you up when you're trying to work through errors that list a linecount. Right, that. I'll make some other revisions too. I initially had the names of both methods wrong; that's certainly no way to go about creating informative resources. |

Re: Alteisen Arsenal Labs MOD without units? So numgun did indeed use code between .inis. Unless you want to go reference mining, you'll have to live with the robots being referencable, though you can put "Buyable = 0" in the same tab line as GoldCost in an actor definiton to make it not buyable during the game.

Re: Alteisen Arsenal Labs MOD without units? Yes, and Duh is telling you how to remove them.
You'll have to go into the code for the units you want removed and add the line "Buyable = 0". This will make them not buyable. Also kudos numgun for horrible code referencing. :P |

Re: Alteisen Arsenal Labs MOD without units? well, everyone knows nummy isnt the neatest of coders. i suppose it gets the job done though. mostly.
in any case, also comment out all the drop-ships, and this should work. im assuming you can live with normal dropships? use "method B" on section {3} aswell, and then see where you get. |

Re: Alteisen Arsenal Labs MOD without units? What youre facing here is the pilot that gibs out of the crafts. You'd have to disable him too if you want to use the crafts but not the actors.
So the only craft you'd be able to use without going through the trouble of removing the pilot coming out of the craft is these: AAL Materializer, TIC Container, TTR and AAL Crash. And Geti and Grif, ♥♥♥♥ off both of you. My code is superior and organized and there was no other way of having the pilot be included with the ships when they are destroyed. This is how its supposed to look like if you want the units gone: Code: DataModule Author = Numgun ModuleName = Alteisen Arsenal Labs IconFile = ContentFile Path = AAL.rte/ModuleIcon.bmp ////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // -Alteisen Arsenal Labs- // ======================= // // // Author: Numgun, aka Alteisen // (Anton Temba) // ////////////////////////////////////////////////// //AAL INDEX: All the stuff in listed nice and tidy. //-Section {0}: References IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Common/Index.ini //-Section {1}: Weapons IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Tool/Antimass/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Tool/SpaceDigger/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Weapon/Pilot/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Weapon/Slayer/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Weapon/MPAM/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Weapon/Marine/Index.ini //-Section {2}: Units /* IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Runner/Runner.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Pilot/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Slayer/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Marine/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/MPAM/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Unit/Tank/Tank.ini */ //-Section {3}: Crafts IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Craft/Droppod/Droppod.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Craft/Rocket/Index.ini // IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Craft/CargoRocket/Index.ini // IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Craft/Dropship/Dropship.ini // IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Craft/Fighter/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Craft/Container/Container.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Craft/TTR/Index.ini //-Section {4}: Base IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Base/Modules/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Base/ThermalGrid/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Base/Amber/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Base/Novastar/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Base/BlastDoor/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Base/Harvester/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Base/Reactor/Index.ini //-Section {5}: Cheats IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Cheats.ini //-Section {6}: Activities // IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Activities.ini //-Section {7}: Test and Scenes IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Test/MapMats.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Scenes/Index.ini And if you want the weapons buyable, you'd have to go inside each .ini file of every gun and set these 2 variables: Code: Buyable = 0 -> Buyable = 1 And Code: GibImpulseLimit = 1 -> GibImpulseLimit = 3000 You will those lines at the end of each weapons .ini file at the "HDFireArm" labeled part. |

Re: Alteisen Arsenal Labs MOD without units? Sorry if you took it badly, numgun. The pod could have been moved into its own .ini however.
i cant imagine why the method numgun described wouldnt work though. if it loads and there are no guns, you didnt do the part about changing Code: Buyable = 0 -> Buyable = 1 |

How would you pull that off without using the actors that just got unconviniently disabled? Superior code, ♥♥♥♥♥.  |

Re: Alteisen Arsenal Labs MOD without units? if it was in its own .ini you could still reference the pilot, and it would be more easily located and turned off. and you do code messily usually, but this rendition of AAL is much neater; i commend you for that.
now, are we going to make this work? makeone, do the weapons work? if they dont, open up the .ini files containing their code, assumably at the locations referenced in: Code: //-Section {1}: Weapons IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Tool/Antimass/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Tool/SpaceDigger/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Weapon/Pilot/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Weapon/Slayer/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Weapon/MPAM/Index.ini IncludeFile = AAL.rte/Device/Weapon/Marine/Index.ini now, on windows, press ctrl+h and fill in the first line with Code: Buyable = 0 and on the second line enter Code: Buyable = 1 and then click on "replace all". if you have notepad++, you can also open all the .inis and use the "replace in all documents" function. if numgun has used any TDExplosives, they'll show up in the menu now, but whatever. its going to be messy anyway. if nothing shows up, not even the bunkermodules, move the AAL.rte folder out of the cortex command folder and back in, this is an extraction error. failing this, you've ♥♥♥♥ something up badly in the process of trying to accomplish this, redownload and try again; if you still care enough |
