I like the update but.... Tue Nov 18 14:02:48 2008 : ...shakey\Desktop\micromacro\scripts\zs_shaiya/main.lua:22: cannot open C:/Users/shakey/Desktop/micromacro/scripts/zs_shaiya/scripts/zs_shaiya/lib/utils.lua: No such file or directory it's adding an extra folder into the path somehow. Saying ther...

Hmm, it's just the process name, so just entering "game" should work if the executable is "game.exe". Make sure that a map is created first. The user should be marked with a black "x" if it works. The whole process attaching/reading feature is still buggy, and it was sl...

Apologies, when using external references, it's usually good manners, to let others know that with everyone's help I managed to solve the issue.

Sounds like the old script is more trouble than it's worth. :D I have uploaded a new version 0.31b which should not have the issues you have described. I've only briefly tested it for about 10mins or so, so I can't be certain everything works (obvious errors usually crash it after killing a couple o...

@shakey It looks like it hasn't included "./lib/utils.lua" which is why you received the debug_message error, and the is_number error. In main.lua what are the lines 19 & 20? g_script_dir = "./scripts/zs_shaiya/" --g_script_dir = getExecutionPath() .. "/" Should be ...

I was using 0.98 during testing, the Deprecated line was active, though the new line has been added, for compatibility to 0.99 it's just a matter of commenting the old line, and un-commenting the new: In main.lua, line 19 & 20. --g_script_dir = "scripts/zs_shaiya/" g_script_dir = getEx...

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to modify and fix it up.

How's it going for everyone, any issues they have come across? Most of the skills in './data/skills.xml' need adding, and a bit of fixing. Here is my latest: skills.xml For my next release I am experimenting with Finite State Machines, so functions like flee, and other functions that are time impera...

Yeah I understand, ZS Shaiya is up to about 3500 lines of code now, and there is quite a bit of cleaning up, error handling and optimisation to do (it's all a learning experience for me). Hey I found that I need to parse XML data and convert a value or an attribute from a string to a number or boole...

It was only because I had modified the XML and broken it, that's why I added it.

It gave me a chance to look at the code a bit, so I'm more than happy to help. Over the holiday season, I might start taking a look at the Micromacro source, and familiarising myself with the code base.

Hey Elverion, I've been using the mod XML Parser as u know, I ran into a parser error, which had me stumped for a bit, so I decided to add error handling for the parse() call in the open function, here it is: function open(filename) callbacks = { StartElement = startElement, EndElement = endElement,...

Here is the Waypoint Editor I created if ur interested.

edit: Apologies, I keep on deleting the thread by accident. Description A Simple Tool to edit Two-Dimensional Waypoints on an Image. Can edit the waypoint.xml file that belongs to the ZS Shaiya Script v0.03b and up. http://solarimpact.servegame.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=145 Here are the Sh...

thanks elverion.

I'm glad that the code is going to good use, I tried to make them fairly general so they can be applied to other games that have keyboard based movement. Check out the ZS Shaiya version 0-03b, the move_to, rotate_to functions were improved somewhat (now in avatar_actions.lua), so it corrects itself ...

I've just released a new version 0-03b that uses XML for most of the data. The benefits are that character scripts are much easier to understand. :D See Top . edit: Here is the link for the ZS Waypoint Editor for those who want to edit the waypoint.xml file. http://solarimpact.servegame.com/phpBB3/v...

Ahh I get what ur saying now. I had some code which produced the same effect so I had to have the timer call a function, that in turn calls the class function. I think this is because using self:some_function(), is actually just syntactic sugar for my_class.some_function(self), and the registerTimer...

Yeah I often accidentally use "." instead of ":". And the error that it generates doesn't isolate the issue down easily.

the Avatar_class functions need to be polymorphed, with user created functions. I only briefly looked at it but I think loadString() should work, thanks. edit: ahh yeah xml special characters, hmm maybe the lua is better left in the separate file, when I get the new version out perhaps u can take a ...

I've migrated a few data based things over to XML, Waypoints, Skill, most Character Data (except the Avatar_class overidden functions), and some global values. One question I do have is there a way I can place Lua in XML, and have it read a load the XML, so I can have all Character data in the one f...
