  Another undoubtly easily fixable broblem...Hi again.
This time, I was making an grenade that explodes into acid. When i try to run the mod it gives me an ´´Failed to load datafile with the following path and name: PowerPack.rte/Devices/AcidBomb`` error. The weird thing is, that the abortscreen shows that the game has already loaded the Grenade and that the error message doesn't have an INI. file Not the best explanation. Hope you have some idea what i'm talking about. Files and the abortscreen Attachments:

Re: Another undoubtly easily fixable broblem... It seems like you're .ini is referring to a file that doesn't actually exist. You should make sure your file extensions are all in order. Are you able to upload the whole .rte, just so we can get a better idea of how all the files work together. The problem might be in the Index.ini itself.

I Didn't find anything wrong in the files and yes, it is the exact error The basic file with the bomb itself appears to be fine. That's not the problem. The problem is you have to include the file extension when using IncludeFile to load things. It's trying to find an extensionless file named 'AcidBomb', which - as should be evident - does not exist. Even if your system is hiding file extensions, you still need to include it in the index file. |

EDIT 2: Fixed EDIT 3: Howdo you make the acid particles NOT to fly hundreds of meters in the air??????? Attachments:

Re: Another undoubtly easily fixable broblem... Probably change the velocity at which the travel. Something like...
Code: MaxVelocity = X MinVelocity = Y ...should be in your code. |

Re: Another undoubtly easily fixable broblem... If you don't mind doing it with lua then putting the following as the update function should work fine.
Code: function Update(self) if self.Vel.X > 20 then self.Vel.X = 20; elseif self.Vel.X < -20 then self.Vel.X = -20; end if self.Vel.Y > 20 then self.Vel.Y = 20; elseif self.Vel.Y < -20 then self.Vel.Y = -20; end end Edit: Yeah do what Arcalane said. In my defence (perhaps not the best defence) I don't really know my way around the ini code. Last edited by Bad Boy on Wed Feb 22, 2012 11:55 pm, edited 2 times in total. |

Re: Another undoubtly easily fixable broblem... ...or you could code the gib effect properly. Why on earth would you use AddParticles? I've never seen a grenade coded like that before!
Instead, replace all of that AddParticles nonsense with this; Code: AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOSParticle CopyOf = Acid Grenade Explosion Count = 1 AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOPixel CopyOf = Spark Green 1 Count = 20 MinVelocity = ## MaxVelocity = ## AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOPixel CopyOf = Air Blast Count = 30 MinVelocity = ## MaxVelocity = ## AddGib = Gib GibParticle = MOPixel CopyOf = Acid Spray Count = 150 MinVelocity = ## MaxVelocity = ## Remember to replace the ##s with the desired minimum and maximum velocities, which is pixels per frame IIRC. Also, reduce the lifetime of the Acid Spray particle - it's currently set to 3000 milliseconds, or 3 seconds. |

Re: Another undoubtly easily fixable broblem... Exactly! I assumed he wasn't using AddParticles.
