WHo uses Mission.exe from DevTools?

Need help testing contributed art or code or having trouble getting your newest additions into game compatible format? Confused by changes to data formats? Reading through source and wondering what the developers were thinking when they wrote something? Need "how-to" style guidance for messing with VS internals? This is probably the right forum.

WHo uses Mission.exe from DevTools?

Post by ezee »

Hi .
I just built that tool , Mission v 1.0.0.1 works fine !
> https://sourceforge.net/p/vegastrikevo/ ... 9/mission/
It is neat to have that to debug missions , i think every modder should use it .
But it is also a quick launch tool for every player .

If some of win32 users need it but don't know how to compile etc ... , i could make
a release in vegastrike evolved site .
Just let me know ?
:wink:

EDIT : Hey ... wait ... i could try to tweak it also , and make a 1.0.0.2 ?
Just ask for features ?

Code: Select all

 if (!track.HasWeapons())
            {
                // So what are you going to threaten me with? Exhaustion gas?
                return ThreatLevel::None;
            }

So i made it as a tool release for windows users at my vegastrike evolved site :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vegast ... r-Windows/

Instruction :
Unrar the .exe into the Data folder ( where vegastrke.exe is ) , then launch !
Some ( a lot ? ) of missions are unworking but some are :
Try test->Quest-tutorial to see if it works .

Enjoy .
:wink:

Code: Select all

 if (!track.HasWeapons())
            {
                // So what are you going to threaten me with? Exhaustion gas?
                return ThreatLevel::None;
            }

That's the missions i think because the " official " tutorial is working .
In fact , the game works but some initialisation fails ( the hud is flashing red ) .

Code: Select all

 if (!track.HasWeapons())
            {
                // So what are you going to threaten me with? Exhaustion gas?
                return ThreatLevel::None;
            }

But it has a download button on the front of Vegastrike Evolved main page. I bet most people who hit that button is expecting to take Evolved for a spin and not edit game files.

Correct .
I've seen that too , will try to fix .
Thanks for the report !

Edit : FIX DONE , new link -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/vegast ... r-windows/

bUT THE BUTTON IS AUTO GENERATED EVEN IF APP IS NOT ON A RELEASE folder ..., so people will have to use their brain this time .
:lol:

Code: Select all

 if (!track.HasWeapons())
            {
                // So what are you going to threaten me with? Exhaustion gas?
                return ThreatLevel::None;
            }

I suspected something along those lines. All those little details...

I just picked up this book so maybe soon I'll be able to chip in on the python side of things. 8)

very nice !

The last book that i have bought is :
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Examp ... 1556220782

A very good book , with maths explained with art , the author is really clever and cool .

:idea: I just updated my dev's hands book with the tutorial for mission scripters :
https://sourceforge.net/p/vegastrikevo/ ... ds%20book/

Code: Select all

 if (!track.HasWeapons())
            {
                // So what are you going to threaten me with? Exhaustion gas?
                return ThreatLevel::None;
            }

:mrgreen:

I have created a " Tools page " in my wiki where there is a screenshot of the mission selector :
https://sourceforge.net/p/vegastrikevo/wiki/Tools/
Also one picture in the download section of tools to help users to know what is it about :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vegast ... r-windows/

            {
