Custom character that can finish adventure mode?

[NikMik]

I've noticed no custom character I've used can finish adventure mode - the camera just zooms in indefinitely without the character or throne even appearing.

I thought adding my character to the list in the puppets.lua, but still nothing. Is there any way to make my character able to finish adventure mode and appear in the throne?

Hook me up with a Dave file with a custom character about to finish adventure mode and I'll take a look

Dave file? I don't know what that is. Probably heard of it, sometime. But my memory sucks.

[Cheerio]

Save file. I typed to quick with my ipad

[NikMik]

Is there any way to send the file without uploading it to a different website? My computer hates dropbox and the websites like it.

 

Sorry if I'm being a pain with this.

You can upload it directly here if you zip it up (really zip, no other format is allowed)

Found it. Just hard to think and see in the 'Strayan summer heat.

 

I'm not sure how much of these files are necessary. But I only have the one save file requested. I also included the mod character the save file uses.

Did you add something like the following to modmain?

GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTER_NAMES.mycharacter = "My Character"table.insert(GLOBAL.CHARACTER_GENDERS.MALE, "mycharacter")

(possibly with "MALE" replaced with "FEMALE")

[NikMik]

I didn't think of that. I'll give that a try. Thank you!

[NikMik]

No, it didn't work. I'd think it would have something to do with him having to be created into a puppet. I've tried adding him to the puppets.lua, with no luck. How many other scripts could there be? Or is this simply an impossibility?

I'll try to tinker with it. As a side note, if you take my Old School Teleportato mod and change the second line in modmain.lua from

local DEBUG = false

to

local DEBUG = true

then pressing N will teleport you to the closest teleportato part, and to the teleportato itself when there are no parts left to pick up. This should help with speeding through adventure mode to test things out.

[NikMik]

That sound easier than debug-spawning the teleportato/divining rod base. Thanks.

Would there be any scripts I could add to the modmain.lua that would make William able to complete adventure mode and sit on the nightmare throne? Or is it just out of the question?

[TheDanaAddams]

In my tests, Link was able to sit on the throne... not sure what I've done differently... but I think it's definitely possible.

[NikMik]

I'll have to take a look. If he can when I play, this will be a first.

 

Love his motto, by the way.

[NikMik]

Got it!  Just had to add

 

 

local require = GLOBAL.require
--
require "class"
--

local ACTIONS = GLOBAL.ACTIONS
local Action = GLOBAL.Action

to the top of the modmain.lua.

 

Thank you for telling me that Link worked, Dana, probably wouldn't have figured it out without you!

[TheDanaAddams]

Not sure why that fixed it, but I'm glad it's working for you now. ^^

[simplex]

That... that fix doesn't make sense. It's not doing anything. Either you did something else you haven't noticed, or the game's behaving erratically on this issue.

[NikMik]

It's the only thing I changed. I don't get it, either.

[NikMik]

Now I want to find out if it's possible to make him use a different build when in the throne. I was planning to make him look super evil, like this:

 

 

I just reskinned his default build to look like that for the screen shot.

You should be able to call ':SetBuild' and switch to your other build at any time.

[NikMik]

I know this. But there's no character-specific state or any other script for the nightmare throne. At least I couldn't find one in the stategraphs and a few other files, such as the ACTIONS file. I've probably missed something, though.
