I'm getting this fatal 2.08 error message now and then when testing my WIP. I've seen it happen when doing nothing, or when doing a specific action (like turning off a light switch). Has anyone seen this, and does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug it? The error message doesn't give any information about which script might be causing the problem. I have tons of scripting work in this WIP, so it looks like it'll be a big job trying to find the culprit. Thanks.

I started WS2:Home Again using the latest SVN (15447/7824) and got this error: "ERROR: Error: file maps\ws2_homeagain.script, line 59: Type mismatch on redeclaration of length" The line in question is: float length = gybbsPlayer.startSoundShader(recording,1); startSoundShader returns a float to the thread where the line in question appears. The odd thing is the claim that the line redeclares "length" when this is the only declaration of "length" in the script file. Anyone been fiddling with types lately? Thx.

[Let me know if this isn't the right place for this post] This is a thread to discuss this issue: I created a bug here: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=5236 As for duzenko's comment in the bug tracker: Either of those would be acceptable, from my point of view.

Not so long ago I found what could make a pretty good profile picture and decided to try it out on these new forums. But I couldn't find a button anywhere that would let me change it. I asked on Discord and it seems Spooks also couldn't find anything anywhere. So I logged into an old alternative account and, lo and behold, that account has a button. This is on the first screen I get when I: 1) click on my account name in the top-right of the browser -> 2) click on 'profile'. Compared to my actual account: Are you also missing this button on your account? It'd be very much appreciated if that functionality could be restored to any of the affected accounts.

Hi, I need to know what the code is to use Spoiler Tags. I am using my tablet and I don't have the options to use anything, like spoiler tags, quote tags, text changes etc. Thanks

I just made a test with script here from darkmod but i put $player1 and not work after $info_player_start_1 and nothing. If possible help me. please. Create the script file If your map is called for example maps/mydir/mymap.map, you must create a text file maps/mydir/mymap.script. The contents The map script needs to contain a main function. This function is called at the very start of your map, e.g. when the map is loaded for the first time. So if you want something to happen later, you need to pause the script and then do something. Here is an example:

Hi all, some time ago SteveL gave me a python script, that can search files in the TDM installation (also inside pk4-files), which is very handy for playing around with definitions, materials, etc. Unfortunately, the script does not work with the latest Python distribution. Could someone, who in contrast to myself knows python, be so kind to correct the script, so it works? Idle gives an error that the print part is wrong; I am not sure if they have changed anything in their syntax. Any help is appreciated!

I,m trying getHealth () from enemy with script but without sucess. If possible help me t = sys.getTime(); sys.print(t); if (t > 5) { //Code for spawn enemies Wherever you wish on the map float killed = 0.0; sys.wait(1.8); entity new_monster = sys.spawn("monster_zombie_fat"); // example monster_zombie_fat or any class enemy name new_monster.setKey("name", "monster_zombie_fat_3"); new_monster.setOrigin('-136 -120 11'); if ($monster_zombie_fat_3.getHealth( ) < 1){ // Not Working cant get value of health killed += 1; string myStr = new_monster.getKey("name"); // Retrieve the value of the "name" spawnarg of the player entity myStr = "The name of zombie_fat is " + myStr + "killed = " + killed + "\n"; sys.println(myStr); // Print the text to the console } }

Hi guys, through the "cheats" topic I got the idea, that it would be quite useful, if there were tags for missions (the post was about removing the killing restriction in some missions to suit the prefered play style). I don't know how easy or difficult this is, but with them, it would be quite convenient to pick missions with playstyles, environment, etc one does want to use. This could also be expanded to other mission properties. I remember a discussion about climbable drains, handles on doors, that cannot be picked and other things the map author chooses for himself. That way these things would be clearer and as I said before, it is easier to choose missions with playstyles that suit oneself. What do think?

Has anyone gotten the blend ase export script to work in the latest DR? I've tried exporting a func_static as a blended model to the Desktop, and it doesn't show up. (I had tried to put it into the proper mission folder, but it didn't show up there either.

I'm trying to write a couple of scripts to walk the graph and tweak every light entity. Trying to make sure the script will do the right thing first by just printing changes instead of making them. But DarkRadiant is crashing every time I run the script. The script itself, the darkradiant log, a test map I had that it crashed on, and the crash dump itself are all at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xi5sf4adyzkmpyu/darkradiant_crash.zip?dl=0 I'm running DarkRadiant version: 2.4.0 (x64) on Windows 10 64 bit. I'm using it here to make a Quadrilateral Cowboy map.

Well I'd talked a tad bit about starting a tram with my splines thread but I thought I'd post something a little more direct now. For you script junkies I hope this can be a fun little project to collaborate on! So here it goes. The tram I'm making for my mission will be a self powered mode of transportation that rides along a railway. It should basically be a small box car of sorts with a view panel that stretches around all sides. It should have a single door that is automatically closed while the tram is in motion. It should have three buttons for controlling it. Forward, backward and a brake. The directional levers should only be able to change direction when the brake has been applied (so no changing directions while in motion!). The tram brake should probably be it's own script function so that it can be called by other modes of command (from end of path splines or triggered events). It also should have a single state that (when enabled) should make the controls inoperable. This function is only needed so that the tram may carry out it's last defined spline path without player interference. Lastly, I wanted to have a true/false active state available. This is just so that the tram can remain inactive until the story/objectives define otherwise. I will be modeling a entirely new detail mesh from scratch, and I'm hoping that I can eventually get a pretty compact def file established for it. The end goal of mine is to have a nice tram that practically anyone can pick up and use after it ships in my FM. Also for your convenient referencing I already grabbed the original script for the D3 tram and tried to gut most the features I was sure that we wouldn't be needing for this. Such as vertical and lateral movement functions. Hoping we can reuse some functions from it but I'm a script novice so I need some parental advice.
