Need Help with Weapons!

Postby Abs » Sun Aug 10, 2014 11:52 pm

Hi all,

I am making a mod, and my weapons do not seem to be showing up in the UI.

Image

blueprints.xml.append

Code: Select all

<blueprintList name="STFTL_WEAPONS">
   <name>STFTL_PHASERS</name>
</blueprintList>
<weaponBlueprint name="STFTL_PHASERS">  <!-- 1 shot 1power-->
   <type>BEAM</type>
   <title>Phasers</title>
   <short>Phasers</short>
   <tip>tip_beams</tip>
   <desc>Standard Federation Phasers.</desc>
   <tooltip>Large beam with high damage.</tooltip>
   <damage>1</damage>
   <sp>2</sp>
   <fireChance>2</fireChance>
   <breachChance>2</breachChance>
   <cooldown>4</cooldown>
   <color> <!-- Color only works for beams -->
      <r>51</r>
      <g>204</g>
      <b>255</b>
   </color>
   <power>1</power>
   <cost>95</cost>
   <bp>2</bp>
   <rarity>0</rarity>
   <length>140</length>
   <image>beam_contact</image>
   <launchSounds>
      <sound>STFTL_PHASERSOUND</sound>
   </launchSounds>
   <weaponArt>phasers</weaponArt>
   <iconImage>beam</iconImage>
</weaponBlueprint>


animsheet.xml.append

Code: Select all

<!-- Define Anim Sheet -->
<animSheet name="phasers" w="20" h="54" fw="10" fh="54">weapons/phasers.png</animSheet>

<!-- Define Animation -->
<weaponAnim name="phasers">
   <sheet>phasers</sheet>
   <desc length="2" x="0" y="0"/>
   <chargedFrame>1</chargedFrame>
   <fireFrame>1</fireFrame>
   <firePoint  x="16" y="20"/>
   <mountPoint x="0" y="0"/>
   <chargeImage>weapons/phasers.png</chargeImage>
</weaponAnim>


Does anyone know what looks wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

Here, use a vanilla beam to compare:

   <type>BEAM</type>
   <tip>tip_beams</tip>
   <title>Mini Beam</title>
   <short>Mini Beam</short>
   <desc>Extremely cheap and weak beam weapon.</desc>
   <tooltip>One damage per room beam weapon</tooltip>
   <damage>1</damage>
   <sp>0</sp>
   <fireChance>1</fireChance>
   <breachChance>0</breachChance>
   <cooldown>12</cooldown>
   <speed>3</speed>
   <power>1</power>
   <cost>20</cost>
   <bp>2</bp>
   <rarity>0</rarity>
   <image>beam_contact</image>
   <length>45</length>
   <launchSounds>
      <sound>beam1</sound>
      <sound>beam1_2</sound>
   </launchSounds>
   <weaponArt>beam_1</weaponArt>
   <iconImage>beam</iconImage>


Code: Select all

<animSheet name="beam_1" w="192" h="33" fw="24" fh="33">weapons/beam_1_strip8.png</animSheet>
<weaponAnim name="beam_1">
   <sheet>beam_1</sheet>
   <desc length="8" x="0" y="0" />
   <chargedFrame>1</chargedFrame>
   <fireFrame>2</fireFrame>

Thanks, but the vanilla beam is already where I got the config from. ;)

I still do not see anything wrong. Does anyone else?

Could I see the download?

You could look at my thread: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=25837

I had the same troubles.

Unfortunately, not yet. I believe all the pertinent information has been included in the thread, however. If I am missing anything to make it work, please let me know and I'll provide the requested info.

It is...well, sorta. You hit the nail on the head, kartoFlane. Turns out it was called animations.xml.append.txt. DOH!

Thanks again, man!
