UNID Override?

catfighter · Fri Nov 15, 2013 5:09 am

The Transcendence engine seems to be unable to tell the difference between UNIDs "0xD3100001" and "0xD3100009." Whenever I load both extensions, "0xD3100009" overrides "0xD3100001" and changes everything in saved games. It doesn't really do anything to the saved games, but initial classes from "0xD3100001" are replaced by initial classes from "0xD3100009."

This could be handy if I'm in a tight situation and I want to switch ships, but it gets pretty annoying if I want both ships in my game at the same time.

"0xD3100001" contains a warship, and "0xD3100009" contains a destroyer (both by Catfighter industries and each with their own special defenses and weapons). "0xD3100009" is a registered godmod, and "0xD3100001" is an unregistered part of larger mod.

Both xml files are below, though without gfx or sfx because of size/number limitations.

The problem is that each of them uses the same *numbers* assigned to the unid strings

Each unid has two parts in the <!ENTITY ... > element
The first is the string, the second is the number

BOTH the strings and the numbers must be unique:
If the numbers are the same, then it overwrites (two strings can point to the same pointer, it simply ends up treating all instances as the same number, pointing to whatever type of that number it loaded last)
If the strings are the same but the numbers are different, then it throws an error (one string cannot point to two pointers)

I think I figured out the error, if we're talking about the same thing. Do you mean that the ship gfx UNIDs in the two code blocks are the same?

If so, I caught the error after I posted it.

Sun Nov 17, 2013 5:26 pm

yes the numbers of the UNIDs were the same

catfighter · Sun Nov 17, 2013 6:40 pm

OK. I fixed the errors and I'll check them later to see if they work together now.
