So it seems no one is working on it

When translating in the wiki I noticed that there's no es column for the Aircraft and Aircraft Equipment sections, is there a reason for that or can them be added? And if they are absent will the sync script use the english source, the ES_es version or nothing at all for updating the .po file?

Newbie Coding / Scriptable character templates

« on: August 15, 2010, 07:26:35 pm »

My second experiment with the code, I wanted to make the templates used to generate the character atributes to be scriptable so I made some changes:

new script header:

Code: [Select]

chrtemplate <template-id> {}containing a list of attributes (speed, mind, sniper... etc.) with min and max values and a rate: the chance of this template to be used for character generation.

and a new section for the team def:

Code: [Select]

templates {}with a simple list of templates-ids for this team
if more than one template is given a random one will be chosen excluding those with a rate of 0 (if all rates are 0 default to the first one), the chance of a template being choosen is: rate of this template / sum of the rates of all templates for this team (so rate is not a percent)

I split the patch in three:
Part 1: changes needed to parse the templates from script files
Part 2: changes to the script files
Part 3: actually use the parsed data to generate the character attributes

So what do you think?

Windows / Re: UFO:AI 2.3 WindowsXP SP3 start crash

you have to open a cmd, then type your path to the game, add the paramters to the path. press enter.

Or you can add the parameter to your shortcut (right click - properties and type the parameter after the target) if you are using Windows that is, I've never need to do this in Linux but there should be a way too

From ufo folder: \src\game\g_reaction.c

Hehe, I could have found it myself, I meant point me to what needs fixing, what is missing or lacking or new features to be implemented

There is a bug fix posted Here
It's in the tracker here: 3027802
So I guess you have something different in mind?

So... is anyone working in the spanish translation (es not ES_es)? It seems to be in a very bad shape.

applied to trunk https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ufoai/changeset/31313

I see most things I left over (had plans for Sunday afternoon so I didn't completely finish it) were corrected, but seems we both overlooked extending the description in team_humans.ufo to account for the new options - just a tiny detail

What about the rf fix? You should work on that.

I was thinking to go back to translating now (that i might have some time), but if you point me in the right direction I might take a look

Ok patch has been updated(I'm attaching it here as well), resistance/weakness should now be scriptable in the team_* scripts, it might need balancing tough, but it should be easier to do it now.

in general the data should go into the scripts

That is what I think as well, now the question would be: Add a new script or integrate it with an existing one (maybe the armor team definition script?)? I was also thinking that this is related to the character creation templates (at least they seem related to me) but that's another matter. Unfortunately I don't expect to have a lot of time and my coding is very rusty but will see what can be done

Ok, managed to test it successfully (tough only used skirmish mode for now), tried some balancing but still needs more testing.
Added it to the patch tracker:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3041597&group_id=157793&atid=805244

I must admit that since I haven't touched C since I was at school I didn't expect this to be even considered to be included in the project

Newbie Coding / Alien Resistance

So I was thinking about adding resistance/weakness to the aliens in my game, (at least until it is oficially implemented) so I made some changes in the code (see attachment), now the question is: Wich is the best way to make sure it´s doing what it´s supposed to? The values I used are probably too low to see any conclusive result in game (need to work on that) and I´m not getting any thing from the console log (I compiled a debug version and used +set developer 1) so any ideas? (Or maybe you can test it for me?)

(Note that I haven´t coded anything that requires compiling in several years)
