Trouble comes again and hits hard

Post by toms »

Anyone has an idea what´s wrong?
It is very hard to find and the error just says "unknown scenario". :(

Please list every little thing, and especially typos, as I´d not find them for ages.

Thanks in advance to everyone who dares to seek in this mess. :P

Code: Select all

If it says "unknown scenario" perhaps the scenario is in the wrong place or there is a typo in your campaign .cfg ?

After the really basic errors (files in wrong place or not included, typos in id's etc) it's usually a case of using macros while giving them the wrong number of arguments. It's probably fastest to cut away pieces of code and see when it stops to give errors. Then you have the part where the error most likely is, and you can go through that checking for every detail.

Also, you seem to use at least AI_CHECK before it is defined. That shouldn't cause visible errors, but worth noting anyway.

Thank you. I got it already working with all macros cut out. Then I´ve put some in again and it still worked. After putting all in, this suddenly caused errors:

Code: Select all

[if]      <-computer says this if is not closed
 {VAR turn numerical_equals 2}
  [then]
   [if]
   {VAR moves greater_than 0}
    [then]
     [message]

   # {HUMAN_CHECK}
   # {AI_PLACE}
    [/else]
   [/if]
  [/then]

No, that works now. Now there are just errors where I find the reason earlier or later.


Current problem:

What can be the reason why [variable] works and the macro {VAR NAME OP ARG} not? Only in some parts of the file it does not, and the macro is right.

It's quite frankly a bit difficult considering the amount of unfamiliar macros you're using. Some seem to be defined earlier in the thread, but it's still quite tedious to start expanding all of that in one's head...if you'll isolate the problem as much as you can and also tell whether that causes an error or if it just doesn't work as it should (and if so, how should it work?), I can have a look at it tonight (5-6 hours from now).

Well. I tried to cut some pieces out.
But always somewhere else appeared a "bug" and nothing was wrong. It had all to do with variables. ( [/set_variable] missing)

I suspect, no I fear it´s a typo hiding somewhere...

My suggestion:

Save another copy somewhere, and then strip the in game one down to the basics, that works, and then add bits of the code to it untill it breaks, and check that section.

I bet it's a case of a wrong number of arguments being given to a macro, a macro missing the ending } or some other pretty similar typo. It's usually the case when an error is reported on an ok part of the WML and when that is removed, the error (usually a missing end tag error, like you said) appears somewhere else...

I have found one: {VARIABLE i add 1} should use VARIABLE_OP. That´s fixed now, but there is still a problem. With experiments of outcutting parts, I figured out that the following part causes the problem (in unkwon relation)

Code: Select all

[while]
  {VAR have numerical_equals equals 0}
   [do]
     #this checks if a unit has already been tried
     #format the variable name for each type
    {VARIABLE_OP randunit random (Orcish Grunt,Elvish Fighter,Footpad,Skeleton,Fencer)}
    {VAR_IF_FORMAT randunit (Orcish Grunt) checktried (tried[$i].orc)}
    {VAR_IF_FORMAT randunit (Elvish Fighter) checktried (tried[$i].elf)}
    {VAR_IF_FORMAT randunit (Footpad) checktried (tried[$i].footpad)}
    {VAR_IF_FORMAT randunit (Skeleton) checktried (tried[$i].skel)}
    {VAR_IF_FORMAT randunit (Fencer) checktried (tried[$i].fencer)}
    [if]
    [variable]
    name=$checktried  #variable name already formatted. Yea.
    numerical_equals=0
    [/variable]
     [then]
     {VARIABLE have 1}
     [/then] 
      [else]    #low chance to mistake
       ##ifdef EASY
       #{RANDOM 0..3}
       ##else
      {RANDOM 0..4}
       ##endif
      [if]
      {VAR random numerical_equals 0}
       [then]
       {VARIABLE have 1}
       [/then]
      [/if]
     [/else]
    [/if]
   [/do]
  [/while]

Code: Select all

{VAR have numerical_equals equals 0}
This looks a bit suspicious.
