Flag problem

I edited the BINACJBOFlag file for level19 and tried to convert it back to ONI.  I choose the proper destination folder, select the file, click convert then click run.  It says "press any key" in the prompt like it worked, but in the destination folder there is no file.

I tried converting the BINACJBOCharacter file for level 19 from XML to ONI in the exact same way, same destination and everything, and it worked.  So.......  Any idea?

Re: Flag problem

Nevermind!  I put commas between the dimensional coordinates for some reason.  I deleted them and it works now.  smile

Re: Flag problem

It's possible that you made a typo and OniSplit is rejecting the file.  Have you tried using OniSplit on the command line to import the file?  That way you will see an error message, if there is one.  Also, if you have a program that displays XML files in a nested tag format, it will help you find errors like improperly-closed tags.

Edit: Heh, never mind here too then.

Re: Flag problem

Man, this makes no sense.  First of all, I thought "movetoflag" would make them actually run to the flag, but instead it just...moved them there.

So I took that out and instead just tried to have them teleport into the room where the GrifElites appear in the final fight and then I made them "makeaware" of me...  But for some reason some of the characters still appeared at the flags I originally had the "movetoflag" to, but now those flags don't appear anywhere in the script so I have no idea why they're still appearing there...

So I tried to start it fresh and just had some other characters spawn in the GrifElite spawn room, but now it's saying that all the flags I added don't exist...

I made the FlagIds 997, 998, 999, and 981 through 989, and I can't "chr_teleport 0 0997," for instance, myself to ANY of these flags using developer mode...  Says they don't exist....


Here, let me show you guys ALL the flags I added and see if anyone can see anything wrong.

Re: Flag problem

At work, no access to my files, but going from memory, I think, the flag numbers should go here:
<Flags>981</Flags>

Take a look at the original flag data.

Re: Flag problem

In the original all the flags had "0" in the <Flags> tag, and the flag number you use to teleport guys to in the <FlagId> tag, so that's how I set mine up.

It was weird because I know it at least PARTIALLY worked because I got guys to teleport to a few of them at first, but now the game is saying that none of the new flags exist.

I don't know what you did either. Is it possible you forgot to convert back to .oni and recompile the dats after making these changes?

Re: Flag problem

I definitely did convert it back because, like I was sayin', for a while there guys WERE being spawned at my custom flags.  But hey, maybe I should just try a fresh conversion.  Hang on...

...No...  Still same problem.  It says something along the lines of "Flag '989' does not exist," "Flag '988' does not exist," etc...

Re: Flag problem

Oh, alright...  I gotta read up on how to make it a package first real quick smile

...

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.  I combined my modified BINAFLAG and BINACHAR files into a package and installed and tested it...  It seems to ALL be working now.  Dudes appeared at my custom flags, and the cops were there jumpin' off the helicopter.

Sweet.   big_smile I pretty much literally never end up solving problems by having any idea what I'm doing.....  But thanks, Gumby.   smile

Re: Flag problem

Leus any modifications u make to oni files have to be made into a package tongue
the game reads its data from the raw and dat files in the game data folder not from the .oni files ... once u make a package and hit install the installer will gather all the oni from the different packages and combine them to the dats and raws ... the .oni that are in the game data folders are also used by the installer to complete the dat and raw files.. I advice u not to make permanent changes to these ones tongue copy the .oni files u need, edit them in a different folder then put them in a package folder ... Note : demos_k Onisplit Gui easily makes packages smile

Re: Flag problem

New flag problem:

I have the AI take control of the player and then have the player chr_facetoflag 0 xxxx, but no matter where the player is standing and no matter what flag is in the script, the player always turns to face the same direction.  If you're looking from the satellite to the door in the final fight setting, it's about ten degrees to the left.  Assuming that the line from the satellite to the door is the "default" direction to be facing, no matter where the player is and no matter what flag they should be facing to, they always face about ten degrees left of the "default" direction.

Re: Flag problem

Okay I "figured it out," in that I figured out what was happening but it still really doesn't seem like what SHOULD be happening.

So instead of actually making the character face TOWARDS the flag, apparently it makes the character face the direction the character is facing in the BINACHAR file.............  Which, doesn't make any sense.  But whatever, I think I made it so it works well enough for me now.

Hm.

Re: Flag problem

well then all you have to do is create a new flag with the rotation that you want, and input that command

Re: Flag problem

Yeah I had to change the rotation in the BINACHAR file...  It doesn't actually seem to have anything to do with flags, despite the implications of the script.
