Broken bandit camp spawn? (Couldn't find bandit_camp_1)

What are these mapgen hacks exactly?

Random_dragon · 2015-08-31T22:16:03.000Z

Overwrites for mapgen made to allow special vehicle spawns, which as you can tell borks quests that reference them.

The reason for these is, well…normally if you have multiple mapgen files of the same name, it will pick one at random instead of allowing overwriting.

Wait…I COULD use the weight entry to make the modded version massively more likely to be picked. This would be awkward for multi-map-tile items, like the bandit camp. Less hassle to just dummy it out, as forklifts are the only vehicles TOTALLY depend on mapgen to exist.

Hey Dragon, stop breaking our game man…

Random_dragon · 2015-08-31T23:23:11.000Z

In Soviet Russia, game breaks you!

Like what? Does this mean we won’t find tanks in the street? But my mini reactors!

Tanks spawn in the streets just fine, that uses vehicle groups.

In any case, found another solution to make the modded mapgen entries EFFECTIVELY override the norm, in a way that doesn’t break quests.

EDIT: I’m dreading the moment when SilverDragon discovers this bug’ll royally fuck up the bandit-hunting quest chain in his playthrough. ;A;

This just happened to me as well. Is there any way to fix it or does it mean anything to do with bandits or bandit camps is bugged for the entire playthrough?

Sadly, they’re fucked. With those mapgens spawned, just removing the overwrite for them will create loads errors, hence why my present PR is dummying out the overwrites in favor of adding a less broken way of getting the new vehicles to spawn there.

And…oh wait, Silver’s still using Series 2, now that I think about it…

sticks2681 · 2015-09-03T23:30:10.000Z

sigh I was doing really well on this playthrough too. Oh well, unless I’m misreading things, there hasn’t been an actual fix pushed through yet, is that right? If so, if I start a new game, should I leave the tank mod off for now or what?

Random_dragon · 2015-09-03T23:35:01.000Z

It’s not merged yet, sadly. Sorry. x.x

You can copy-and-replace via getting it off Dropbox though, as it should be updated with the version I have PR’d. Link is on the first post of the mod thread (http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=10771.0), or I can link it here. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89427928/Tanks.zip

Ok, thanks!

Random_dragon · 2015-09-03T23:52:52.000Z

And should even worked if dropped into an older save due to retaining the old mapgen files as dummied-out content, but I’ll want to test and further ensure it works as intended.

EDIT: Tested, seems to do so as intended.

sticks2681 · 2015-09-04T00:45:15.000Z

Sorry, I’m a bit brain-dead today so I’m not sure I understand. Do you mean if I update the files, and then go back to that save before given the bandit camp mission, it should work properly?

Random_dragon · 2015-09-04T00:51:50.000Z

In the sense that it’ll still load, yes. It won’t unbreak the already-broken quest though, because the modded mapgen has already spawned. ;A;

sticks2681 · 2015-09-04T00:59:36.000Z

Got it. Thanks again. I’ve only been playing for a couple weeks and I have very little knowledge of programming so I’m trying to learn more about the inner workings as I go along.

Random_dragon · 2015-09-04T01:04:40.000Z

Ah, hope that goes well. I’m still awful at PRing source changes, for example.

sticks2681 · 2015-09-04T01:32:32.000Z

Sorry to keep bothering you with this stuff. I downloaded the mod from the link you provided, unzipped it and moved it to the mods folder (I had deleted the previous version first). Now I’m starting a new game and I get a message saying: “DEBUG: init_vehicles: ‘Forklift (dummied out)’ part ‘forklift_fork’(21) can’t be installed to 2,0”. Pressing spacebar gives me a variation of that message with 2,1. Pressing spacebar a few more times will finally get me to the character creation screen. Am I doing something wrong?

Random_dragon · 2015-09-04T01:38:32.000Z

Um. Lemme see… double-checks dropbox

Ack. Now I see, the version on dropbox was from the first commit in the PR, when I’d dummied out mapgen edits entirely, and forklifts along with them. That version SHOULD’VE changed the forklift vehicle part to a removable vehicle anomaly, but it seems that only works for player-built vehicles that have the part installed beforehand. Vehicles that are supposed to have an no-longer-buildable part installed by default will fuck up.

Updated the dropbox’d version again, now it has forklifts existing again so the part is back to being buildable, and thus forklifts won’t create load errors. Could’ve sworn I’d updated that. x.x

sticks2681 · 2015-09-04T01:40:47.000Z

No problem, these things happen lol. BTW, thank you for all of the speedy responses!

Random_dragon · 2015-09-04T01:47:01.000Z

One advantage to being mucking about on the laptop, at least.

Still, should’ve made sure sooner that it was up to date with the PR. ;w;
