[Resolved] Find mistake in ruleset ?

[Human Ktulu]

Hi all,

I try to make a modpack with some craft. I have succefully modify the Raven, Alloy Skyranger, Thunder and Raven, but I have a problem with "Sentinel" mod. I want modify ruleset for include research and manufacture. But the game (last git) would'nt activate it. And no error message.
Of course, I use Notepad++
Can you help me ? (my base idea is make a complete and well balenced modpack with French translated strings)

Thanks !

Hmm... I can see nothing bad in the code you attached. It might be a matter of syntax (like wrong number of spaces or whatever), but I'm not exactly a master coder either, so it could be something code-related (though my Sentinel is virtually the same, and it works).

What I would do is to add a costBuy flag to check if it comes up on the equipment purchase screen. If it does, then the mod is activated and there's something wrong with research or production. If it doesn't, then the problem is something else.

And last question, what is "listOrder" command ?

Thanks a lot, again

[Solarius Scorch]

Thanks, but it wasn't my mod... The Sentinel was made by Warboy, I said "my code" referring to the one I have on my disc. (Which I, admittedly, modified a little in an attempt to balance several craft mods.)

The listOrder command places your new item - a grenade in this case - in a particular position on various in-game lists, such as purchase/selling list or craft equipment list. I highly recommend reading this article for more information on flags, and ruleset in general. It may also solve your main problem.

[Human Ktulu]

Ah ! I just understand how work YAML Parser !
All work now !

I will read the Ruleset wiki ^^

[Human Ktulu]

I have another question :p

I begin french translation string for few mods, but I see specials caracteres (é,è,à,ç, ...) are don't show in-game. Exemple :

Code: [Select]

      STR_COMBAT_KNIFE: Poignard de combat
      STR_COMBAT_KNIFE_UFOPEDIA: Arme de combat rapproché qui permet d'éliminer une cible légèrement protégé.{NEWLINE}Son utilisation délicate est réservé aux unités spécialement entrainés aux techniques d'infiltrations.
Edit : I see that :

It's because your files are in ANSI and OpenXcom uses UTF-8. I've fixed this on my end, for future reference, you can change this in Notepad's Save As.

[Solarius Scorch]

I think it causes trouble if you add more than one non-English language to the same .rul file. I had the same problem with Polish. It's mostly speculation though; I remember someone said something like this, but I need to find it again. I'll try
