Any idea why my respawns don't work? :'(

[ket]

Title says it all guys. I know nothing is wrong with my code... the respawns just don't seem to work These spawns are the last aspect of TK before I can finally give it the fabled "final build" tag so I really need to get the issue ironed out. Ok, I'll go through everything in hopes somebody will see what I'm missing. All work is being done with the all.spawn unless somebody can provide a script I can use. Apologies for the mammoth wall of incoming details

My one off spawns look like this;

[935]
; cse_abstract properties
section_name = controller_tubeman
name = esc_controller_01
position = -166.770004272461,-18.3899993896484,-128.830001831055

level_vertex_id = 420394
object_flags = 0xffffffbf
custom_data = <<END
[smart_terrains]
esc_small_home3 = false
END

; cse_visual properties

; cse_alife_creature_abstract properties

upd:o_model = 0
upd:o_torso = 0,0,0

; cse_alife_monster_abstract properties

upd:next_game_vertex_id = 65535

upd:distance_from_point = 0
upd:distance_to_point = 0

; cse_ph_skeleton properties

; cse_alife_monster_base properties

; se_monster properties

These types of spawns all work fine.

My respawns;

[940]
; cse_abstract properties
section_name = respawn

custom_data = <<END
[respawn]
respawn_section = cat_weak
;max_count = 8

max_spawn = 8
idle_spawn = often

shape0:type = sphere
shape0:offset = 0,0,0
shape0:radius = 1

; cse_alife_space_restrictor properties

; se_respawn properties

For some reason, these types of spawns don't work at all :'( Strange thing is, I use that exact code in the all.spawn for respawning NPCs and it works fine.

This is what my modded general_lair.ltx looks like;

[l01_escape]
chimera = weak
cat = weak
boar = weak, normal, strong
bloodsucker = weak, normal, strong
burer = weak
controller = weak, normal, strong
dog = weak, normal, strong
flesh = weak, normal, strong
giant = weak, normal, strong
poltergeist = weak, normal, strong
pseudodog = weak, normal, strong
pseudo_gigant = normal, strong
snork = weak, normal, strong
tushkano = normal
zombie = normal, strong

Repeat that list of mutants for all levels.

This is what my respawn.ltx looks like;

[respawn]
GroupControlSection =
$spawn = "ai\respawn"
class = RE_SPAWN
script_binding = bind_respawn.bind

AFAIK nothing stopping my mutant respawns here.

This is what my smart_terrain_presets.ltx looks like;

chimera = weak
cat = weak
boar = weak, normal, strong
bloodsucker = weak, normal, strong
burer = weak
controller = weak, normal, strong
dog = weak, normal, strong
flesh = weak, normal, strong
giant = weak, normal, strong
poltergeist = weak, normal, strong
pseudodog = weak, normal, strong
pseudo_gigant = normal, strong
snork = weak, normal, strong
tushkano = normal
zombie = normal, strong

Repeat that list for all levels.

This is what monsters.ltx looks like;

#include "M_flesh.ltx"
#include "M_chimera.ltx"
#include "M_bloodsucker.ltx"
#include "M_dog.ltx"
#include "M_boar.ltx"
#include "M_pseudodog.ltx"
#include "M_burer.ltx"

#include "m_cat.ltx"
#include "M_Rat.ltx"
#include "m_crow.ltx"
#include "m_tushkano.ltx"

AFAIK nothing wrong here.

Thats everything... I'm not missing anything here surely.. am I? Help someone

Hey, Ket. Very long work, I can only have a look at those on Monday, visiting family this weekend. Not a good time for thinking.
Meanwhile, from top of my head as an attempt for some thinking gymnastics, are you sure that there is nothing in your mod -in other scripts, or other files- that somehow restricts the re-spawning of those certain elements in any probable way?

[ket]

Hi nightwatch As far as I can remember and have checked there shouldn't be anything restricting the respawns of the mutants I have added back into the game. The only files I haven't currently checked are the gulag files _maybe_ if theres some specific smarties the game expects to find but aren't being referenced is causing the respawns not to happen.. but even that is a long shot as all my spawns use generic or no logic depending on what I feel is more natural for that type of mutant. Eg; tushkanos have no logic and just wander where they please.. as animals like that tend to do, other mutants like zombies (well, some of them) use generic logic as a-la resident evil, zombies are typically "pack hunters".

Had chance to have a preliminary look at what you posted above. Before starting, noting that I'm not good at all in proof-reading at all (concentration wavers quickly) and there are really professionally good people around for it, and therefore there still may be something that I'm missing while staring, now I can tell my impressions.

First of all, your se_monster.script is "vanilla," replying your question there, and also, self.ini_initialized = false, self.spawner_present and self.smart_terrain_conditions_initialized need setting are ok, you can leave them as they are.

Apart from a few questions that I'm going to ask you, which I suspect may appear due to cut-and-paste problems, all seem to be ok, as far as the posted sections concerned.

In orderly fashion: your left indent alignment seems off-line, but this may well have caused due to cut-and-paste process. Still, checking them with notepad++ always shows better than ms notepad, but you know that of course.

Next: on your se_respawn file, the last bracket on "local idle_spawn_preset" after the "often" is missing. But, that can be a cut/paste symptom as well, of course.

-------------

As you mention that you use the same scripts to respawn NPCs and all work fine, but when it comes to creatures things don't work. From this, it may be deduced that there's something wrong about the "creatures" in some other parts of the mod, the same arrangement does not work for the creatures.

One problem though to start with, as the way it seems on the post:

=====================================================
>> First of all, in your all.spawn example of, your "respawn" sections, as in:

[940]
; cse_abstract properties
section_name = respawn
name = esc_cat_01

Now, below there, there's an entry:

conditions = 100
END

which is not correct. (100 cannot be a condition here. This is an example of conditions in all.spawn: conditions = {+agroprom_military_case_done} 80, 0 ---but please do not use it as it is, for it's just an example)

Therefore, please CANCEL OUT the "conditions" and change it to:

;conditions = 100
END


(Quite probably, this is what's been stopping your creature respawns.)

=====================================================

++++Still, let's check other options as well, while on the matter.

---Also, please check your name protocols, like in name = esc_cat_01
so that they do not conflict with other entries in the mod.


>> There may be parallel or contrasting creature entries in various files which then would stop the process.

>> Question: Have you edited your "gulag_general" and/or any of the relevant "gulag" files?

>> your switch_distance is compatible with your spawn/respawn values?


Meanwhile you may try a few lines of attempts:

a) In your se_respawn, let's try setting "local idle_spawn_preset" to vanilla values as:

local idle_spawn_preset = {
seldom = 60*60,
medium = 60*60,
often = 60*60
}

and then see if original level respawns have started working or not.


b) Only if any of the above does not respond positively, then you may try this script on your "se_monster.script " in the corresponding, replacing that part:

Code: Select all

As a last resort, as this may not work on your mod if there are any conflicting files/values with it in your mod, which of course I cannot know from here; you'd know it.

Thanks nightwatch, I'll try replacing that section of se_moster. Now, for your questions;

Yes, those issues are a result of copy/paste.
The conditions in the spawn code, AFAIK, when replaced from a script condition to "100" tells the game the probability of the spawn. I'll comment it out though and see what happens.
gulag_general.script hasn't been changed, its in the mod, but if I recall correctly its a remnant from long ago when I was attempting to permanently stop the "stalling" x-ray has when AI goes on/offline. Heres what the gulag_general looks like though;

Switch distance in the mod is set to 600, so there shouldn't be any problems there.
There has been some editing of gulag scripts, but if I recall correctly they were all part of bardaks BFA so there shouldn't be any issues. I'll upload copies of the gulag script files for if anyone wants to triple check them.

I downloaded the file and copied the gulag_general. I'll try to see if I can spot anything. Can't look at anything before Sunday, though, sorry.

On another note, 600 meters switch_distance, imo, seems a bit too much to me; may cause engine to stall at times, or may not, all depends of course on the bigger picture and the hardware that handles it of course,anyway. Just a thought.
As a further comment to the "options =" reference in my above post, let me rephrase it. As everybody agrees, the all.spawn is nasty piece of work, no doubt about it. Like all nasty things, it's always better to keep hands as away as possible from it. This is my opinion that, giving specific values, i.e. spawning percentage/randomization etc in all.spawn can later clash with various randomization orders given in upper level code in the game, and may behave rather like anchors. Even info_portion based conditions in all.spawn give a lot of headaches many times. So if possible, one would be much happier by refraining from giving percentage/randomization orders in all.spawn. Having said that, nothing stops anyone doing exactly what they want, just like in life. Consequences... Well, that's another matter

Yeah I got tired of the all.spawn work, it was easy enough but such a pain to make so many new entries, so I cheated. Tied everything to blowouts via script
