Error with MissionWeights After deleting missions
« on: November 07, 2021, 08:08:44 am »
I tried to delete Vanilla aliens missions. I deleted them in AlienMissions and MissionScript, but i get following error:
Error with MissionWeights: Region: STR_ANTARCTICA: alien mission type: STR_ALIEN_BASE not defined, do not incite the judgement of Amaunator.
I downloaded clear region ruleset using Flako's world redactor, which contains no Mission Weights, but i still get this error.
How do i fix this?

It's still there.
How exactly did you delete it? In the original file? By a mod? Using delete command or just redefined? Just ommitted the mission list in the redefined ruleset or by specifying an empty list?

I deleted it by using delete command in ruleset, like this:

  - delete: STR_ALIEN_HARVEST
  - delete: STR_ALIEN_ABDUCTION
  - delete: STR_ALIEN_INFILTRATION
  - delete: STR_ALIEN_BASE
  - delete: STR_ALIEN_TERROR
  - delete: STR_ALIEN_RETALIATION
  - delete: STR_ALIEN_SUPPLYs
missionScripts:
  - delete: gameStart
  - delete: recon
  - delete: invasion
  - delete: researchRetaliation
  - delete: beginnerRetaliation
  - delete: experiencedRetaliation

You also have to delete the references in the missionsWeights for regions:

Code: [Select]
regions:
  - type: STR_NORTH_AMERICA
    cost: 800000
    areas:
      - [195, 305, -70, -55]
      - [230, 305, -55, -30]
      - [240, 300, -30, -10]
    regionWeight: 18
    missionWeights:
      STR_ALIEN_RESEARCH: 14
      STR_ALIEN_HARVEST: 17
      STR_ALIEN_ABDUCTION: 20
      STR_ALIEN_INFILTRATION: 20
      STR_ALIEN_BASE: 20
    missionZones:
...

that's because the file of Falko is only a differential file as in it will not modify these values if missionWeights is not in them. You can delete a region and redefine it without the missionWeights or you create a diff file with a missionWeights list with different missions or an empty list. Interestingly enough this only works if you set the weight for current missions to 0.

Spoiler:
Code: [Select]
regions:
  - &STR_NO_MISSIONS
    type: STR_NORTH_AMERICA
    missionWeights:
      STR_ALIEN_RESEARCH: 0
      STR_ALIEN_ABDUCTION: 0
      STR_ALIEN_BASE: 0
      STR_ALIEN_HARVEST: 0
      STR_ALIEN_INFILTRATION: 0
