Problem with new 1.3 Readables Objective

[grayman]

I want to use the new Readables Objective feature (thanks for that!) to set a new objective once a letter has been read.

 

Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but . . .

 

1. Bring up the Objectives Editor.

 

2. Add a new objective.

 

3. Edit it.

 

4. Change its description.

 

5. Uncheck "Visible".

 

6. Add a component and edit it.

 

7. Select "Readable is closed" from the type list.

 

At this point, I get an error window that says "Exception occurred: SpecifierType not found."

 

Hit the window's Close button and another window comes up: "Runtime Error".

 

Hit the window's OK button and another window comes up: "unknown software exception".

 

Hit the window's OK button and DR dies.

 

 

 

Am I doing something wrong?

I can confirm the crash. I'll fire up my debugger.

 

Could you add this to the bugtracker, please?

Yup, should be fixed in SVN. Strange that I didn't run into this earlier, I tested this several times before release.

I'll have to have a good play with this, this was the feature I most wanted to see in 1.3.0...

Expect a bugfix release in the near future. I'd like to address a few other issues and then we're ready for a bugfix release, I think.

[grayman]

I verified in 1.3.1 that we can now set an objective after dropping a readable.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for confirming it - please close the bugreport then.

 

(This used to be good practice in mod development, btw. Any person can report issues, and any developer can claim the issue and fix it, but it's the reporter's responsibility to confirm the fix and close the issue.)

If we say it often enough, people might start to catch on. Early on, I said "I didn't want to step on toes", so I'd leave others' issues alone for them to close themselves. In retrospect, looking at how many greens have piled up, I doubt anyone would have minded.
