djh269 264 Posted February 26, 2017 Okay, I've hit a little snag. Basically what I want to do is modify a placeable to have a unique appearance, and then have it patched within a .mod file. The file gets placed within the .mod file, but the object doesn't appear when I spawn into the module. This is for the small Jolee mod I've recently released, everything seems like it's working until I walk into the module. Strange. I've looked at quite a few tutorials so far. I've posted the changes.ini file below: [TLKList] [installList] install_folder0=Modules install_folder1=modules\kas_m24aa.mod [2DAList] Table1=placeables.2da [GFFList] File1=joleebed00.utp [CompileList] [sSFList] ; =================================================================== [install_folder0] Install0=kas_m24aa.mod Replace1=kasm99.mod [install_folder1] Replace2=m24aa.git Replace3=kas99invis.utp Replace4=spawnkas99.ncs [joleebed00.utp] Appearance=2DAMEMORY1 !ReplaceFile=1 !Destination=modules\kasm99.mod [placeables.2da] AddRow0=placeables_row_Jolee_bed_0 [placeables_row_Jolee_bed_0] label=Jolee_bed strref=571 modelname=Jolee_bed shadowsize=1 bodybag=0 preciseuse=0 hitcheck=0 canseeheight=1.5 hostile=0 noncull=0 ignorestatichitcheck=0 2DAMEMORY1=RowIndex Edit: I have placed an unaltered joleebed00.utp file within the tslpatcher folder.

Fair Strides 509 Posted February 26, 2017 1. Is your model named (exactly like so, character for character) "Jolee_bed.mdl" and "Jolee_bed.mdx"? 2. Are you using a save from before ever entering kas_m99aa? 3. I really, really, really recommend against just replacing the .git file in kas_m24aa, since that would invalidate any and all changes any mods installed before this make.

djh269 264 Posted February 26, 2017 It was in fact the worst possible answer haha, number one. In regards to the .GIT, I have modified the previous .changes.ini and also added the .GIT file under the GFFList.

Kexikus 994 Posted February 26, 2017 Is it working right now? I'm wondering because I always thought that 2DAMEMORY tokens have to be set before they can be used and in your changes.ini it's the other way around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djh269 264 Posted February 26, 2017 Everything bar the .GIT part, it's really not recognizing the lines. I'm having fun playing around with it all though!

Fair Strides 509 Posted February 26, 2017 Is it working right now? I'm wondering because I always thought that 2DAMEMORY tokens have to be set before they can be used and in your changes.ini it's the other way around. Order of operations. TSL Patcher does things in this order: 1. Process and add to dialog.tlk file. 2. Install files 3. Install/patch 2da files 3. Install/patch GFF files 4. install/patch SSF files 5. Process and compile scripts @djh: Shall I assume your GIT stuff was entered in manually? There is a compare function for GFF files, that relies on selecting the original .git file (the version you used to make your edits) and then your edited version. Just eyeballing it, the format is all wrong as it relies on the fields already being there instead of being added. I recommend making a copy of your .git file and then removing your stuff from the copy. Then compare using first the copy and then the original.

I recommend making a copy of your .git file and then removing your stuff from the copy. Then compare using first the copy and then the original. It was entered in manually, I've used the compare function before, I'll have to play around with that tool. Upon Kexikus instruction, I changed the replace function as per the below to Install0 for the original kas_m24aa.mod. I installed a base copy of that within the tslptacher folder as instructed, it's now compatible if you don't have K1R installed. [install_folder0] Install0=kas_m24aa.mod I guess my question is, do I have a fresh m24aa.git file or one that I've editted, placed within the tslpatcher folder? Edit: Obviously I'd then have to change the below to !installfile-0 m24aa.git] !ReplaceFile=0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fair Strides 509 Posted February 26, 2017 No, there is no "!InstallFile=0". The "!Replace=0" is simply "If the file already exists at the destination, does it get replaced before any changes are made? 0 means No and 1 means Yes.". As to your question of whether to use a fresh or an edited .git file in the tslpatchdata folder, keep this in mind: the file in the tslpatchdata folder is grabbed, then the changes in the changes.ini file are applied, then the file is put where it belongs. So if you use an already-edited file to apply the edits to, what happens? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djh269 264 Posted February 27, 2017 So if you use an already-edited file to apply the edits to, what happens? It would add redundant cells to the .git file. My previous changes.ini file was trying to replace cells that weren't there, I now know to place a blank .git file in the tslptacher folder. I've now been able to update my changes.ini file by comparing a blank m24aa.git file with another blank m24aa.git file with my placeable and waypoint additions. Many thanks for the assistance everyone!
