Help? Huh

RE: Memento won't show up - 4WalledKid - 10-08-2012

Try removing capital letters on the Quest_RockPadlock_Text in the .lang file. Why? because you didn't use capital letters in the .hps! Tell me if it worked Smile

I removed the spaces in "<CATEGORY Name = "blah">". Try replacing yours with mine. Also added a quest name.

RE: Memento won't show up - The chaser - 10-09-2012

It must be a .lang problem, the script adds a memento correctly. THere should be something from there that escapes from my sight.
Ok: You have it wrong. Here's the structure of the script:
AddQuest(string& asName, string& asNameAndTextEntry);


And here is what you have:

("rockpadlock", "RockPadlock");

So, you should change it to this:
void GetRockPadlockQuest(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

{

AddQuest ("RockPadlock", "Journal");

}

<Entry Name="Quest_RockPadlock_Text">The padlock looks rusty enough to be easily broken.</Entry>

This may work.

RE: Memento won't show up - Ongka - 10-09-2012

If you're starting your map in dev_mode, the .lang file won't load. You can't read notes, mementos etc..
Try to start it the classic way, via main menu.

RE: Memento won't show up - Adny - 10-09-2012

One thing I feel is being overlooked is that there is no /Language at the end of the file; if that truly is the case and not just an error copy/pasting it into the page, then try this:

<LANGUAGE>

<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">This is where I test my maps.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

<CATEGORY Name="Inventory">
<Entry Name="ItemName_stone_hammer_1">Stone Hammer</Entry>
<Entry Name="ItemDesc_stone_hammer_1">This might just break the padlock!</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
<Entry Name="Quest_RockPadlock_Text">The padlock looks rusty enough to be easily broken.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

</LANGUAGE>

The lang file is fine aside from that; any further error can be attributed to mismatched names in the .hps file.

Hope that helped...

RE: Memento won't show up - Your Computer - 10-09-2012

The only thing wrong with the LANG file is that it lacks a closing tag for LANGUAGE. As for the script, the use of AddQuest is correct. If the user was playing in developer mode, they should consider testing the story with a non-developer profile.

Meh? Ninja'd twice?

You should definitely use this to edit your language file with
http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-12213.html

It saved me constantly from spelling errors and will make your more comfortable making notes Smile
