Yet another one of the 100's of problems.

Post by **Yukiko** » Fri May 05, 2006 12:26 pm

I'll look for it and post it on my website. Might take me a day or so. Had a HD fail on bootup two days ago and I am still re-installing stuff.

ya sorry yukiko.. for makin an ass of my self... yet again :? and ya.. ima give up scripting.. cuz im not smart enough probally and theirs no point..

Post by **Yukiko** » Sat May 06, 2006 1:04 pm

Now don't give up. You just have to keep plugging away.

There's no shame in asking for scripts either despite what some others who post here might think. I ask all the time and I've been around for ages.

Sorry if I came off a bit harsh. I was having a bad day.

A weeee bit off-topic ya think?

Post by **Yukiko** » Sun May 07, 2006 12:08 pm

Poi did you try the new script yet. I updated it.

Poi · Post by **Poi** » Sun May 07, 2006 2:54 pm

"Pol version 96 is required but 95 is present" Im using 95.. not 96 so that script justs crewed me up more.. And i cant find 96 anywhere

Poi, its a sticky in the POL 096 Development Discussion forum.

http://forums.polserver.com/viewtopic.php?t=186

a link at the bottom of the first post.

But let me just tell you that if you have an 095 base and you want to convert it to 096, its not the easiest thing to do.

OK Poi. Sorry about the 96 requirement. I will post a 95 version for you.

I really apologize for that. I get confused now that we have the test core forum combined with the released core.

I should have it posted later today.

Post by **Yukiko** » Mon May 08, 2006 3:21 pm

OK Poi. Go to the Custom SCript Releases forum. There is now a POL 95 version there. You will need to create a directory under \pol\pkg named runebook. Unzip the files contained within the zip file to that new directory.

Is what i got in start.log..

Testing ingame, result:
You cannot insert that item into the container

Wow this is so annoying and frustrating

Post by **Yukiko** » Mon May 08, 2006 6:07 pm

OK Poi I think I finally got it all there.

Somehow I didn't get the control script in there for the runebook. That was the error you got about runeconversion.ecl not being present. That script is a conversion system for older runes created under different runebook systems. It is or was assumed by the original authors of this package that folks might install it on existing shards. I do not believe that control script is even necessary on new shards. I will test to see if it is needed. If you feel so inclined you can remove the line:

Code: Select all

	ControlScript	:runebook:runeconversion

from the itemdesc.cfg file in the runebook package and see if the book performs correctly. If it does then you won't need the runeconversion.src file.

You can try that before downloading the update I placed there. The shard should start fine. Then test the runebook. If it doesn't work then go ahead and get the update.

Sorry for all the problems. Most were errors on my part.

Poi · Post by **Poi** » Mon May 08, 2006 6:27 pm

Nope, still does not work.. Keeps aying "You may not place that item in this container"

Just a question, has anyone else ever had this problem? Or is it just my bad luck?

Post by **Yukiko** » Mon May 08, 2006 6:54 pm

Did you remove the original POL 95 runebook folder?

Post by **Yukiko** » Mon May 08, 2006 7:05 pm

OK Here are the only "rune insert error messages" in the runebook script I have provided:

"You can only put marked recall runes in runebooks."

"You can't put any more runes in this runebook."

"You can only put marked recall runes or recall scrolls in runebooks."

"Couldn't add the rune to the runebook."

"This runebook is full."

So assuming your quote above is accurate you are getting that error mesage from some other package.

Poi · Post by **Poi** » Tue May 09, 2006 1:17 pm

Well i disabled the pol 95 one and enabled yours in pkg/runebook
I have no idea how im getting that emssage but i just noticved, it give sme two messages in a row:
You can only place marked runes or recall scrolls in a rune book(or somehitng clsoe to that)
then:
You cannot place that item into that container

Deleting other runebook script...

Same error

Post by **Yukiko** » Tue May 09, 2006 6:19 pm

OK I guess you need to tell us what scriptbase you are using. I thought it was the POL 95 Distro but I searched the entire POL 95 Distro for that error and I didn't find it.

Post by **Yukiko** » Tue May 09, 2006 11:46 pm

Poi I have searched through my entire script library, which includes about 9 shards (some publicly released and some not publicly released), POL Distro 94, 95 and 96, gobs of optional packages and systems and even just stray and miscellaneous scripts and I cannot find any containing that error message you keep getting. My next step is to search the POL executable. I suppose it could be some internal error generated by the POL ECL interpreter, uhm... I mean virtual machine.

Post by **Yukiko** » Tue May 09, 2006 11:49 pm

Nope. It ain't in the POL.EXE file either. Would be interesting if you did a search to see what file contains that SysMessage.

*hint hint hint*

Then post it here.

Poi · Post by **Poi** » Wed May 10, 2006 4:49 am

I did a file search engine, it tells me its in pol.exe

Pierce · Post by **Pierce** » Wed May 10, 2006 6:58 am

Perhaps a stupid question:
Did you set DefaultContainerMaxItems or DefaultContainerMaxWeight
in the servspecopt.cfg to a perhaps strange value so that the 125/250 default values for containers are not set any more?
If thats a weight problem add

MaxWeight int weight
MaxItems int number

to the runebooks itemdesc.cfg or check if your runes for whatever reason have a strange weight. Perhaps you can post the itemdesc.cfg containing your runes here?

Pierce · Post by **Pierce** » Wed May 10, 2006 7:17 am

Forget the post above

I just take a look into that package you used. You have to edit
the runecaninsert.src and the runeoninsert.src

program can_insert(who, runebook, movetype, insmethod, item, existing_stack, amt_to_add )

program on_insert(who, runebook, movetype, insmethod, item, existing_stack, amt_to_add )

After that changes it should work
