Change Mission Target

[Hammerkraft]

Hi guys,

 

In my Campaign is now the time, where I have to change the goal conditions of all mission.

 

For Example: In Level01 I want that you have to collect 10 Energy-Cristals.

 

Normal is to collect 5 Cristals.

 

I try to find out, what I have to do, and changed some texts with the npl scripter, but thats only for the green box In-Game.

 

I want to know, how to change the goal in a level.

what green box in-game are you referring to?

the npl file IS where the Level win/lose conditions are set.

[Hammerkraft]

I mean the green In-Game box, when you are in a level. The Box under he O² display.

Left of the four yellow arrows and right of the Info-List, where you see :" A Monster spawned" or "Rock Raider save teleported" and many more.

 

 

 

Example: If you find a new cave, there is a text:"You find a new cave" and a picture on the right end of the box.

Edit:

Oh I see now, the NPL  Scripter only open .nrm and .txt ,  not .npl 

But it names NPL Scripter.
Didnt I see where the "Open .npl" is?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next Post:

 

Okay, I found a other way for the npl files.

That work now, but now I test the first Level.

Now, when the BriefingPanel is seen, I press Space to continue.
But the Briefing Panel only change for a milisecond to the second side, and than turn back to the first side.

So I can't start the Level.

Did you know what I mean?

I had the same problem once but I'm not sure how I fixed it. There is probably something wrong the the code in the CFG so maybe if you send the code to me I'll look through it.

 

Edit: By the way you don't need nrm and txt files. The game only needs the npl file for the mission. To open and edit npls afterwards you need to have the nrm or txt file because the npl scripter cannot open npl.

 

Edit2: I once had the problem when I tried to remove the power path from the Tool Store. When I tried to do this, I wasn't able to start any mission because the mission briefing console did not disappear. But I had an idea what the problem could be and (for me) my idea has been confirmed: the OL (Object List file) is empty or the Tool Store or (at least) a Rock Raider for the start is missing.

Und damit du mich richtig verstehst, auch auf Deutsch:

Ich hatte mal das gleiche Problem, aber leider weiß ich nicht mehr, wie ich das repariert habe. Wahrscheinlich stimmt was nicht mit dem Code in der CFG. Wenn du mir den mal schickst, könnte ich mal drübergucken.

 

Edit: Übrigens brauchst du die nrm und txt Dateien nicht. Das Spiel braucht für die Mission nur die npl Datei. Zum Öffnen und Nachbearbeiten der NPLs braucht man aber die nrm oder txt Datei, weil der NPL Scripter npl nicht öffnen kann.

 

Edit2: Irgendwann hatte ich mal das Problem gehabt, als ich die Stromverbindung von der Bauhütte entfernt habe. Dabei konnte ich dann gar kein Level mehr starten, weil diese Einsatzbesprechungskonsole nicht wegging. Aber das hat mich auf eine Idee gebracht, was das Problem sein könnte und meine Idee hat sich bestätigt (bei mir zumindest): Die OL (Object List Datei) ist leer oder die Bauhütte oder wenigstens 1 Rock Raider für den Missionsstart fehlt.

[Hammerkraft]

Okay, thank you alan.

 

I will show in the Map, maybe I dont have a Rock Raider in it.

Existiert nun eine txt Datei von der NPL? Wenn ja, stimmt es so, wenn nein, kannst du diese Zeile löschen, weil die Datei, wie oben geschrieben, für das Spiel nutzlos ist. 

 

You don't need to have a Rock Raider in the OL if there is a Tool Store. One of these two must be present to start the level. A camera starting position is necessary for the Map Creator but the game can start without the coordinates for the camera in the OL. To be sure whether everything is alright you could also post the content of your OL file here.

[Hammerkraft]

Okay, it works now.
I can start the Level, I only have now the Problems, that I dont have Rock Raiders or the Toolstore.
I try to fix it.

Normally you place RRs (and a Tool Store or only one of both) while creating the level in the Map Creator... so why are you missing them?

[Hammerkraft]

I placed Toolstore and RRss in all Levels, and when I show in Map Creator, there is toolstore and such. 
Hmm I get an Idea, maybe I forget to write the structures in the Config file.

 

Hammerkraft

[Hammerkraft]

Hmm, I cant find the reason.

I write some in the config, I make new npl file and more...

Remake the Map..

But nothing works

 

Does anyone have an Idea?

[aidenpons]

Hmm I get an Idea, maybe I forget to write the structures in the Config file.

Objects only need to go in the .ol, which is exported with Map Creator.

 

Have you tried simply recompiling your WADs or are you using the Data method?

 

Also, something about encoding NPLs: I've noticed that if you stuff something up in the coding it will come up as 0 bytes and nothing will work. If that's the case (just check how big it is: if it's only 40 bytes that's fine, it just can't be 0) then re-check your coding.

[McJobless]

What you need to do is locate the source of the problem.

 

Backup the files for Driller Night (Level 01). Replace the .dugg map with your one. Then delete the other maps and remove their lines in Lego.cfg.

 

If it loads, add another map. Keep doing it until you know your maps work. Then try the script files.

you need to quadruple check that in the config you have all the map file diretories and names correct in the config it sounds like your problem is definitively an error related to the .ol file. Also make sure that you do not have the objects/buildings/raiders placed on the  outer most squares of your map as doing so would likely cause them to be covered over by solid rock automatically. In fact if you have your npl scripted right (aka set to fail if no raiders or toolstore) and you don't get a mission failed then that is almost surely the problem.

[aidenpons]

No, he doesn't need to do that; the game will crash if it can't find what it's looking for.

Of course, he could have accidentally left it out completely...

 

Also, if there's an error in the OL the game will crash AT THE END of the loading bar WHEN YOU GO INTO A LEVEL. It also won't come up with any error messages.

Ah my bad. I was thinking back to when I accidently had it load the wrong .ol because I named the wrong one....

Anyway it wont always crash if there is an error in the .ol. some minor errors won't always crash it.

[Hammerkraft]

It dont crash.
I only cant see or cant get RR or see the toolstore.
I write all Map files in the Config.
And in the map creator I placed a toolstore on a free place and RR near it, also with enough space.

The best way for us to help you would be if you could upload copies of your lego.cfg and the level files so we can see if we can find the problem.

Heres a Copy of my cfg. Level 01:

And this is in my Level01 folder:

 

 

I hope you can find the mistake.

Edit:

 

 

Oh, I see now: "OListFile LevelsGameLevelsLevel0101.ol" but the map creator makes a "ObjectList.ol".
I have two .ol.

I try to start with OlistFile [...]ObjectList.ol.

 

Hmm, I answer if it works... or not work

 

 

Hammerkraft

[McJobless]

I'm sure there's other things, but just quickly, you have an extra '}' at the very end of your config.

[Hammerkraft]

EDIT:

 

It Works!

Its a bit buggy with the camera, but for the first time, it works. I finished the Level

[RockRaiderWolf]

Cool congratz!
