Funny error!

[Harley]

I have copied a server 095 on 096 version, and have started. The beginnings testing, and here one of mistakes which I cannot understand, it when I press on какуе a thing, to me writes "You must wait to use something again". I don't know, what script can use this function, and I'm don't know how fix it. I'm use scripts of Zulu Hotel Scandinavia. If you know, and can, help me please. Thanks!

[Harley]

Have been fixed! Thank all for viewing this topic!

[Shinigami]

we love requests like this and closed using such statements without public solution... maybe someone else gets in trouble with same problem and could learn using your posted solution?

[Harley]

Oh, off course! My problem have been fixed at hooks/shilSkill ; hooks/newParry & hooks/newCombat.

That was my error when. I destroy title "exported" at all functions, because there was AwardPoint, - this is not right(error is: "Function AwardPoints: Parameter gainrate was not passed, and there is no default.
")! Must be "AwardRawSkillPoints". And, when I fix this, every thing is now all right!

[Shinigami]

thx

[Harley]

To not create new topic, I have decided to write in this. My problem here in what. When I create spellbook(with spells, or when I insert some spells) spellbook shows me one spell "Clumsy" at many many cells down. I don't know, why it, and I need your help!

[CWO]

Find which itemdesc.cfg contains the entry for your spellbook. The entry should be something like:

Code: Select all

Container 0x0EFA

change it to

Code: Select all

Spellbook 0x0EFA

and add within the entry's braces

Code: Select all

Spelltype			magic

[Harley]

Oh, great! Thanks, but I have new error!
Problem is big. When I clicked on spell, and when I get some weapon, this weapon is not blocking this spell, but must! Mana not down, words not say, and I'm cast any spell at one second! I have look for what script is working at spells and it is scroll.src(at Zulu Hotel directory opt/zulumagic/scroll.src) and look please, why it work at spellbook not correctly?!

You didnt read the 096 changelog then...

Code: Select all

	Added: Extra 'spell_id' parameter is now passed to spell scripts which relates to
		'SPELLID' in the spell's entry in '::spells.cfg'.

		Example:
			use uo;
			program spellscript( who, spell_id )
				SendSysMessage(who, "Casting SPELLID# " + CStr(spell_id));
				// "Clumsy" has spell_id = 1, "Create Food" = 2, etc..
			endprogram

Changed: Casting from the default spellbook:
               * It no longer checks if you are dead, says the words of power,
                 performs the animations, checks for free hands, performs a
                 skill check, does any delaying at all or checks for 
                 or consumes mana or reagents. 
                 All these things must now be handled in scripts.

                 This should allow greater flexibility and also
                 simplicity in spell systems and scripts. 

thats a cut-up and pasted version of the changelog all put together so its better understood.

Thats a MUST to go through and make sure your scripts are up to date. Many wierd and different things will happen if you dont look at everything in the changelog and figure out what that means for your scripts.

[Harley]

Oh, yes! I didn't read change log, and this is my error. Thanks, but I'm not realy understand, what I have to do. I mean, at all scripts of spells I must add:

Code: Select all

use uo; 
         program spellscript( who, spell_id ) 
            SendSysMessage(who, "Casting SPELLID# " + CStr(spell_id)); 
            // "Clumsy" has spell_id = 1, "Create Food" = 2, etc.. 
         endprogram

that or at scroll.src.

I'm very sorry for that's stupid post, and my questions because I'm not master scripter, I'm Novice! Thank you!

[CWO]

its better to make a starter script and change your spells to go through that starter script, then add another entry in your config to where the actual spell script is. This way, the core starts the starter script, you can do everything there that you have to do (all of the checks. The function I posted was an example of only 1 addition, not everything that was removed from the core. You'll have to script that out) then afterwards, use start_script and grab the scriptname out of the config entry for the spell. You can start to see what I'm trying to say if you go through the distro development in the top forum, look up their magery package at the script called "SpellStarter.src". It might actually do more than needed but doing more is better than nothing.

[Harley]

Oh... To many things and to hard! I have edit this problem too ease! I have add:

Code: Select all

//MY CHANGES
                if( TryToCast( caster, SPELLID_[b]SPELL[/b] ) != SUCCESS )
			EraseObjProperty( caster, "#Casting" );
			return;
		endif
//END OF MY CHANGES
//addd these lines after caster:=parms in that if/else

thoose lines, and my problem has disappeared. But, thank you for help! If I will be have some problem, I'll post it at my topic. Thanks all!

Hey! Hallo all! :lol: I have new error, but, I don't know, how it has arisen. When I start pol, with scripts is all right, but, right at the end, there is:

armor zone? I guess it's refering to the item layer.
Each Item equipable will be equiped to a certain layer on your character.. e.g. Helmets are put on Layer 6, Body armor on layer 17 afaik. For each layer there's a corresponding entry in /config/armrzone.cfg - likely you're missing that, but layer 0 is definitely the wrong layer for armor....

see here:
http://www.welt-pergon.de/poldoc/config ... mrzone.cfg

I've sadly got no complete list of which layer is which here.... but maybe someone else can help with that.

If you're running on pol096 then after using uoconvert you must copy multis.cfg, tiles.cfg and landtiles.cfg to your %poldir%/config/ .

[Harley]

Firedancer, thank you too, but AsYlum have told right(thank you)! This error have been, because I have no uoconvert my multis, tiles & landtiles .cfg Thanks, but! I have got new error!

I have script, that is spawnet. And, at my console, he got me error.
Look please:

Code: Select all

Runaway script[178]: pkg/systems/spawnet/bloodremover.ecl (60000 cycles)

 39: Func(2,1): ReadGameClock
 40: <=
 41: &&

[CWO]

Look a few lines into your script for a ListObjectsInBox(). Its probably in a foreach loop. Just add a sleepms(5) there or something to stop that. Its not really an error, its more of a warning that your script is running extremely long without resting so POL can go to other scripts and pay attention to them.

[Harley]

CWO, big thanks! It is realy help! But, I have new error. Look please:

I'm very scary when I saw this error!

[Shinigami]

I'm very scary when I saw this error!

[Harley]

Shini, bigest thank you! There are was syslog(newpacket), and this were scary me! Thanks, if some thing were scary me, I'll post here!

New interesting error. I have re-writing my shard to 097 core, and, I have a problem with my guilds scripts. Script is: WebSiteTimers. When I compile it, there are error:

Code: Select all

Token '(' cannot follow token 'ListGuilds'
Function ListGuilds() is not defined.
Error compiling statement at C:\pol097~1\pkg\items\guilds~1\websiteTimers.src, Line 146
Error in function 'Guilds', File: C:\pol097~1\pkg\items\guilds~1\websiteTimers.src, Line 146
Error in function 'Guilds'.

Line 146 is:   
foreach guild in ListGuilds()

When I add new module *use guilds;* I have a new error.

Look:

Code: Select all

Error in USE statement: Expected identifier, got 'User Function guilds'
Error compiling statement at C:\pol097~1\pkg\items\guilds~1\websiteTimers.src, Line 3
Compilation Error:

File: C:\pol097~1\pkg\items\guilds~1\websiteTimers.src, Line 3

This is very fun because modules look:

use uo;
use os;
use guilds;

I don't know how fix this error and I ask u for help.

Thanks.

[Pierce]

I don't know what your script look like, but did you perhaps have a function call "guilds" in it? If so, rename that function. If not perhaps you can post the script cause more people can help you finding the error then.

[CWO]

Error in function 'Guilds',

yep. Rename the function and the calls to the function.

[Harley]

Pierce & CWO thank you, guys! I have renamed this function and it's all right now! Thanks!

[Harley]

Hm... I don't know, what is this, and I need your help. I have re-change Pol Core for 096 to 097. Compile all scripts and, when I start server, after this lines:
