Pod Racer Issue (Help Lasko!!)

[oostos]

Hello All,

I was following lasko's guild on adding a barc, but I applied it to a pod racer.  I can generate the Deed, spawn the pod, see it in my datapad, but when it spawns in front of me it only has the words...anyone ever see this?
Did I miss something in the .tre files?

I was thinking I missed something in the crc table.

I added references to the pod here:

object/intangible/vehicle/shared_pod_racer_two_pcd.iff
and 
object/mobile/vehicle/shared_pod_racer_two.iff
and
object/tangible/deed/vehicle_deed/pod_racer_two_deed.iff

Here is a picture of what I am seeing on Test server

Invisible Pod Racer!!

Any help or ideas would be GREAT!!

Thanks!

Hey Arioch, I did go back and doublecheck all the datafiles and made sure they were in there, now, not sure if I did that part correctly, I would assume I did because I can see it in the datapad.  Hey get on IRC

Hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread Oostos but peeps looking at this may also be able to help me too.

The only issue I have with the pods are that when I use '/object createitem' the deed is named 'system generated' that's expected so cool. Problem is I must have missed something because if I generate it via the Frog or a Screenplay the deed is named 'pet_deed:[pod_racer_one]'.

Anyone spot what I've missed?

Sounds like a string file you need to edit, or an lua maybe is missing the name

Hi Arioch.

Thank you for looking at this.

I have checked everything and all checks out ok. I have compared the Reb & Imp Barc files against the 'neutral' Barc as the 'Neutral' Barc is named correctly when obtained via the frog. I compared the entries in the 'object_template_crc' and all the LUA files and are all the same.

BTW. I have the same problem with the Barcs as I do with the Pods. I know it must be something I'm doing wrong or missing as It's only happening to additions I'm making.

All my additions below work and look perfect. Only problem is as stated above. When generated via frog or screenplay the item name is borked.

Reb & Imp Barcs
2 Pods
Reb & Imp Mandalorian Armour

:S

Which data tables and string files are you using? After we check that, we can look into the luas. Ive had the same issue, a few things can cause it.

 

[billyblair]

Appreciate your help mate.

This is how I'm approaching adding content/items to my VM.

I have exported all my Tre's into a folder on my HD. Then I go see what I would like to add. I first chose the Reb & Imp Barcs.

I checked the crc and the necessary files were there (barc_speeder_rebel.iff, deed.iff & pcd.iff)

I then went to each of the 3 folders (Mobile, Tangible & Intangible) copied the Barc LUA's and edited them by just inserting '_imperial.iff' and renamed files to reflect. In each folder I also edited the object & serverobjects LUA's

You mentioned data tables. The above is all I do. Is that what I'm missing?

Thx again...

 

[Arioch]

Ah. Hold on, ill get you some info soon as i have some time. Youre missing a few things. In the meantime,look up laskos barc guide on this site and check that out too.

 

[billyblair]

Sorry. In my haste to make the post short I didn't mention that I have also done the client/server bits regarding adding the actual TRE file and edited the swgemu_live.cfg and the config.lua in the correct manner.

I did in fact use Lasco's guide as this is what showed me how to get them in game. They work perfectly just have a borked deed name...

 

[Arioch]

Here are the stf files you need to edit in the 'string/en' folder -

pet_deed
monster_name
monster_detail

and the datatables files from the 'datatables/mount' folder -

logical_saddle_name_map
rider_pose_map
saddle_appearance_map
valid_scale_range


Just study them a bit and follow suit as far as editing goes. If no typos/whatever, it should fix the problem.

Thx mate.

All 7 files needed to be created/edited

Taken me all weekend but got there in the end learning other stuff as I went along

Thx again!!

Np, if it doesnt fix the name, its an lua issue.
