 Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2007 1:29 am Post subject: Adding a new perk |
 |
|
Well, I am trying to add a new perk to the game. It seems to work good, but I have one problem: The perk is there from the beginning.
I made a new var in global.h.. the line is:
| Code: | | #define GVAR_EXAMPLE (697) |
Then I added this lines in the karmavar.txt:
| Code: | # GVAR_EXAMPLE
697, 100, 1026, 1126 |
After this, I opened the editor.msg file and added this lines:
| Code: | | {1026}{}{Example Title} |
and:
| Code: | | {1126}{}{Example Text.} |
I want to activate the perk with gvar +1 in a dialog, so I added this line to the specific dialog:
| Code: | | set_global_var(GVAR_EXAMPLE,1); |
I also tried "inc_global_var(GVAR_EXAMPLE);" but (and I don't know why) it won't work.
Then I added this to the VAULT13.GAM at the end of the file:
| Code: | | GVAR_EXAMPLE :=0; // (697) |
But like I said... the perk is there from the beginning. I started a new game and there is the perk.. :/
I tried it with Lich's tutorial. You can find it here. But I can't read the text, so I tried to orient myself with the file- and gvar names.
Does someone have experience with this?

Well, it seems you did everything well. I dunno what could be a problem...
I added a new perk to my Vault Rats MOD too, maybe you could check it out in the source scripts and other files:

OK, did you add the NEW GRAPHICS for the perk into the DATA/ART/SKILLDEX inventory and edited SKILLDEX.LST file?
Also, you can add a debug (I prefer regular display) message to map_update_p_proc, so you can track down your GVAR easier:
| Code: | | display_msg("GVAR=" + global_var(GVAR_EXAMPLE)); |

No, I don't want to make a new graphic for this perk, so I used a graphic, that already exist.
/Edit: Okay, with the "debug" I found out, that the gvar don't count up.. strange..

Re-compile the script which should set the GVAR once again... That might help.

Hmm this is a strange problem. I get it to work, but not like "normal".
At first I used this way to set the gvar:
| Code: | | set_global_var(GVAR_EXAMPLE,1); |
But it wouldn't work...
Then I tried it this way:
| Code: | | set_global_var(653,1); |
The number instead of the defined name.... and now it works. I checked the spelling of the gvar name too, but it was correct... so.. it is strange..

Good to hear you've fixed it 
So, the names in global.h and Vault13.gam are the same... This is a strange problem, I admit.
Check if the name contains lower case characters. They all should be upper case (but you probably know this already)... E.g. EXAMPLE is good, but EXAMPlE isn't, because of the "l" (lower case L)
