I get this every time I try to activate the program: <item> element missing item attribute
All of my mods do this. Am I just missing something or am I doing it wrong?
Just trying my hand at tweaking things for my own purposes right now. but eventually i want to release things.

[sdw195]

firstly i see you have coustom armor armor unids i usualy &itMerovianArmor; not &unidMerovianArmor; (it just helps moders konw what type of object it is )
and you shouldnt need all these unids unless you are changeing them

Code: Select all

<!ENTITY itHelium3FuelRod "0x0000403C"> 

<!ENTITY rsZubrinShields "0x0000F004"> 
<!ENTITY rsZubrinArmor "0x0000F005"> 
<!ENTITY rsZubrinReactor "0x0000F00C"> 
<!ENTITY rsDriveExhaust "0x0000F10C"> 
<!ENTITY rsItems1 "0x0000F11D">

after a bit of testing i found that theres something wrong with this

Code: Select all

<Item count="1" item="itTargetingComputerROM;"/>

and it seems to be missing the & in front of it

Code: Select all

<Item count="1" item="itTargetingComputerROM;"/>

not

Code: Select all

<Item count="1" item="&itTargetingComputerROM;"/>

thank you

[Emoneg]

Thank you very much i see why i kept missing it. is there something you use just to test things or do you have to launch the program?

As far as I know, you have to launch Transcendence to test things (which gets hard if you want to trial things in end-game systems) but maybe George (the developer) knows something we don't.

*Over to you George?*

Nops... two ways of testing... learn to read xml and tscript like a machine, or boot up Transcendence... usually the latter yields better results ;)

If all you want to do is test scripting there is a miniature version of T that loads in ~1 sec, for your scripting pleasure. It is missing all game resources though, so not much use for testing xml that draws on the vanilla resources.

Miniature Transcendence 1.03

My not very original solution for testing end-game systems (possible SPOILERS, copy/paste to read 2-4):

1) create a custom playership with a sufficiently powerful reactor and armament (or use the god mod if it works with your mod)

2) equip it with a jumpdrive from start (or add appropriate Halo gems).
3) Add 28x system info and military map ROMs to the cargo hold to get around easier
4) Start a new game and jump ahead through Elysium by hovering over a stargate when activating the Jumpdrive (or using up the gem)


5) Optionally, override something in Eridani, St. Katherines or other scripted systems so you know where to look for new stations, events etc... and not rely on level frequency and random generation

6) put closed comment blocks between independent segments of your mod like:

Code: Select all

<!-- comment here -->

so you can switch them off by deleting the "--> " at will if something's broken

Excellent. That is very valuable info. it helps a great deal. I really appreciate the help. Ive gotten that mod working and i have gone through most of the rest and fixed some errors.
