[Vassal]

[Verruckt]

What tutorial were you doing?

 

[Vassal]

The "Adding Characters in POTC"Tutorial

 

[NathanKell]

The General one, or the `Post-Build` one?

Re: error log.
Open POTC folder.
Open tools.
`Double-click` POTCModHelper.exe
Go to settings tab.
Check Debug Mode.
Click Start Game.
Wait for POTC to crash, then click OK to the box, then click Generate Report, and `copy-paste` it here.

I use the "Post build tutorial" <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

The one by scheffnow then, not me...

but, the problem could be that there was a typo in the code. Do me a favor, open the file CharacterUtilite.c and look for the "GetNewCharacter" function... se if it is typed like "GetNewCharacter" if not then fix it and report back with what it used to say...

 

[Vassal]

OK

@vassal, go back tot he wiki, in the `post-build` sectrion there is a tutorial by scheffnow, use that one. In his tutorial i ran into a problem, and i already explained which function:

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->but, the problem could be that there was a typo in the code. Do me a favor, open the file CharacterUtilite.c and look for the <b>"GetNewCharacter"</b> function... se if it is typed like "GetNewCharacter" if not then fix it and report back with what it used to say...<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

@jack sparrow jr, can you rephrase the question?

 

[Vassal]

OK

 

[NathanKell]

Verruckt: Remember, it's your tut that got us _all_ started adding characters. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

 

[Vassal]

The Function your talking is this <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />

ref GetNewCharacter(string Fullname)
{
int i;
ref Character;
for(i=0; i<TOTAL_CHARACTERS; i++)
{
makeref(Character,Characters);
if(Character.fullname == Fullname || Character.id == "0")
{
break;
}
}
return Character;
}

 

[NathanKell]

That'd be it, yes.
Crap, I can't remember whether that's supposed to be TOTAL or MAX. And I don't have my desktop (waaah). Well, either will work at the moment, so it's no trouble.
