Mandalor POI/Badges

[oostos]

Hello,

Has anyone been able to get the granting of the badges and POI's to work on BATS Mandalore.

I have followed Lasko's little guide on badges and still no badges are granted and when I look in the character sheet I see this..

badge_d:[bdg_exp_man_mandalore_imperial_garrison]

Thanks for any help

The names in the datatable files differ.

For example:

badge_map.iff has entry:
bdg_exp_man_mandalore_imperial_garrison

name and description strings for the same badge have:
exp_man_mandalore_imperial_garrison

They should all have the same ID.

 

[oostos]

So Badge_n and badge_d the ID has to be the same in both areas?

Example:

badge_n = ID 152 bdg_exp_man_mythosaur_graveyard
badge_d = ID 143 bdg_exp_man_mythosaur_graveyard
badge_map.iff = INDEX 140 bdg_exp_man_mythosaur_graveyard


Should the ID value both be the same to include the INDEX value?


I also changed all the names to be the same.

Ok, I think I got everything working. Everything looks good..BUT..it still does not grant me a badge. I did change a name of a POI from the Shadow Collective Cave to the Beskar mine.

Here is my .tre file if you want to have a peek at it..

Mandalore Tre

Ok, tre looks fine to me..... next .....

Can you post here or on pastebin the spawn_manager entry for granting the badges.

The bit at the bottom of the file.

ok, looks fine....

Just the string entries in:

/string/en/clientpoi_n
/string/en/clientpoi_d

And the datatable entry in

/datables/clientpoi/clientpoi.iff

The names must match in a 3 files.

 

[oostos]

I am confused, I thought the .tre file was ok? There are errors that need fixed?

 

[oostos]

OK....I found another .cpp file that lists badges. The location is /srv/server/zone/managers/director/DirectorManager.cpp

The way I found it..there was a badge spelled wrong bdg_accolade_home_show it was spelled bdg_accolate_home_show in all the server files, but the tre had the "accolade" spelling. So i changed the spelling and then my build failed on the DirectorManager.ccp, i just removed that badge.

Could you please take a look at my files. I am not sure what is going on. When I goto The Darth Cadeus cave I get Clan Bralor Headquarters badge granted to me....

here are my files..

Thank you for looking into it for me

 

[Lasko]

OK.... one problem at a time...... remember that.....ALWAYS lol
Best way to learn tho tbh.

It's the cpp files.

Undo your changes (start with fresh unaltered files).

Forget the acolade/acolate thing for now.

Badge.h is fine if you had not changed the acolate entry. So just keep as is and change back to acolate. Your new badges were in the correct order.

Badge.cpp....

you've removed the acolate entry in the top "type" list and renamed it in the botttom "name" list, which has thrown the two lists out of sync. Names has one more entry.

The bottom name list has the badges in a different order from the badge_map.iff and the Badge.h files so its granting the wrong badge from that list.

 

[oostos]

Hello Lasko!

Thank's for the reply. I reverted the files back as you suggested. I have changed the order in the Badge.cpp as you suggested, but the wrong badge is still being granted.

The POI I am using is the Myosaur Graveyard. It is granting me the Accolate Home show.

Here are my new files.

Any ideas?

Oh...I also noticed that in badge.cpp at the top there is 159 entries, and at the bottom only 150. Not sure if that is the issue, just wanted to throw that out there, I don't think it is because POI's on other planets are working fine.

Thanks!

hey Lasko,

So using your suggestions from IRC. I made the two new files.

badge.cpp
badge.h

Now when I goto the POI, the onscreen messages is the wrong location, BUT, it does grant me the correct badge in my character sheet. I have enclosed a picture

Found the issue, in badge.h I had to set the... for (int i=0; i< 150; i++) I had to set that number to 1 higher then my last poi listed. My last one was 149. There is also a value just below this one that needed to be changed to 150. I did that and all worked!

It does mention this in the guide
