1. Use the attach function instead of pasting files in the body of your post.
2. You are on the right track by using the Vaca+ con instead of the original one, because the original used nasty hacks to support v1.3D, which I removed in Vaca+ in the name of modularity. In addition, Vaca+ supported Duke Plus for a time until it added the Super Trooper in a non-modular fashion, so you have a better chance of it working right off the bat.
3. Remove the block Trooper Dan posted from your code; you won't need it. I added it to assist in taking screenshots: "vaca_pose" is a gamevar that is never changed during normal gameplay; I would set it from the console.
4. Be sure you defined all the sounds the beach babe uses. These come in two parts: a "define" for the label, which assigns the sound an ID number, and a "definesound", which gives the sound a file name and a few properties.
5. Be sure all the states that the code calls are included in the cons. For example, I don't see where you included "state stopbeachbabebathersounds".

[1337DirtAlliance]

I added the defs to the def.con,user and my own custom con for my custom content. After defining the sounds and reverting back to the beachgirl you wrote and removed that bit of code. It's still throwing the 'Error on line BEACHBAB.CON:48: expecting '{' ..ect codes. Beachbather has her own con file. I'm not adding her con files till I'm done modeling her. I didn't write any of the beachbab.con. I just grabbed it straight from your svn filesource.

Also for following the wiki in making new breakable objects. I'm not getting anywhere. I wanted to start on adding the girls but for some reason it's not working. I already defined the girls in the def.con but still it cries about those stupid brackets when they are there. Something so simple and still it doesn't work. For the sake of compatibility issues I made a new folder to test the beacbbitch in and my new Girls.con and still it doesn't work. Didn't add the log file here this time with beachbitch cause she's still throwing the same tears over brackets.

Am I seriously thee only one who has tried to implement the wiki con examples and they not work???

[Danukem]

Maybe I'm just really rusty with my CON coding, but I don't understand why it says it is expecting '{'

Usually when those errors happen it is the RIGHT bracket that is missing, not the left. The code you have attached looks like it should work. It could be a compiler bug, but, in my experience the cause is usually something that is not being shown. There's a lot of stuff being loaded that you aren't showing us, including your custom def file.

You might want to try typing the girl code into a new CON file, just in case there are hidden characters in your file that are messing with the compiler. I have actually had that issue (long, long ago). While you are at it, replace the defined labels with constants.

[1337DirtAlliance]

Whats a constant??? I'm far from being a CON coder myself.


I deleted the girls con and made a new one to see if that would help and it's still crying over the brackets when they are clearly there. I even deleted all the duke files and did a fresh install of everything and it still bitches.

Use just 5225 instead of BEACHBABE1.

[1337DirtAlliance]

Tried that for both the beach and my custom girl and still nothing. Same { errors

Have you tried using a debug build to see if it gives you more information in the log file when it fails?

Speaking of, are these ALL the CON files you are using?

[Helixhorned]

^ Yup, that's an important point.

GIRLS.CON compiles fine as a module for me ("-mx GIRLS.CON"). It may really be helpful if we could see all CON files that get translated. From the log, it seems like GAME.CON is the root file for you. I don't understand why the error spam appears long after the script has been compiled. Also, r4410 is somewhat outdated; please try the most recent synthesis build.

I have never done that before nor have I ever heard of it.

I'll go update that. Ahh theres the debug files I don't have. I'll run those 'n see what happens.







Also I wasn't aware that you need to use the command line to call out con files.

This is my def layout it's a txt because it said i wasn't allowed to upload a def

Now if I use the '-x girls.con' tag in the target line I get whats in the log file and it wont even load. It says there are errors in the con file and ask me if I want to load internals and if I say yes it says I don't have a grp file lol.

-x uses girls.con as your main CON file. -mx includes it in addition to whatever's defined in GAME.CON. Also you should include your CON files in GAME.CON, not in the def.

[1337DirtAlliance]

This is with -mx. It throws a message saying there are errors in EDUKE.CON now. I really hate con code this makes php look easy

You have such an odd assortment of CON files. When debugging CON you strip everything down to the fewest number of CON files/last known "good" state and then add things in until it breaks.

And that log actually says you don't have palette.dat.

[Fox]

Do you have a copy of DUKE3D.GRP in the directory?

[1337DirtAlliance]

I have all the core DN3D files so thats odd it'd even echo false remarks of my physical files.



This is with no extra con files and just my own added

I deleted all game data and did a fresh install and it appears that the game con right out of the box has issues.

And then when I add a include in the game con for my con it wont even launch anymore and says there are errors in game.con and wants to load internals. When I say yes. It says error compiling con. So it looks like this ain't happening for me if my original con is trash right from the cd. I blame dosbox.

True. But it doesn't break the game.

The original cons have warnings, yes, but they don't affect the game.

[1337DirtAlliance]

Why did it work for Helix?? doesn't make any sense.

[Mblackwell]

it says in the warning you have a stray "ends". You probably wanted "enda".

[Fox]

No, it's more than just that. Apparently there is an open actor prior to his CON.

[1337DirtAlliance]

Changing ends to enda and having the -mx param and sprite being called out as tilenum works.


Changing ends to enda and having -ms param and sprite being called by its def name FEM20 fails. Says it's not defined.

[1337DirtAlliance]

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAH


I added the beachbab.con into the mx param and it worked but instead of it being the girl I had a still of one my tv's following me.




If I try to use the one Hendricks wrote vbeachbabe.con it:

The vanilla con 'beachbab' works but doesn't show the proper tile. Tv following me telling me to watch were I point that thing lololol

[Lava Grunt]

Just asking if dev build 5118 is capable of loading USER.CON, as I have it in my EDuke32 folder but it isn't used at all when I launch the game.

Nevermind, latest release on the port's webpage fixed the corrupted save game problem and also seems to load my con file again.

[xenoxols]

Is there a way to add recoil (view tilting upwards) to weapon firing?

[Fox]

Yes. But it depends on how you want to do it.

[xenoxols]

Well I'm kind of a noob and I don't know how to find an example of duke3d's EVENT_DOFIRE, so I can't find any firing states. They're not in the weapons.con.sample included with eduke32, as far as I know.
