First, here is a new version. This build fixes a bug, that in some cases when an error occurred, the game simply crashed to desktop instead of showing the error screen.

Anyway, has someone actually tried the new (v3) version. There are over 50 downloads, but no comments on how it works or whether it works at all. I'm curious, are there any problems, something that you [don't] like, something you want to see in future releases?

Yes, BirdFlu did get the UB source code. What now?

This mod doesn't have flashy graphics or big explosions. Instead it brings features that could/should be useful to modders. And these features were requested often enough. Now you have them. And i'm asking again, what now?

@birdflu: Are there any additional files I need except the EXE? Any config or INI files??

EDIT: Can you provide some files that are configured already or do I have to copy/paste the config entries from this thread.

EDIT 2: I get the following error when I start the EXE. A message box pops up "Cannot init FONT file FONTS\LARGEFONT1.sti".

Well, i should have told that when you take the alpha v3.1 exe, you still need the data files from the v3 release. And you have to rename one of the vfs_config_*.ini file to vfs_config.ini (for the *_JDC_*.ini files you first have to convert the SLF archives of course).
RoWa21

"Cannot init FONT file FONTS\LARGEFONT1.sti".

This happens when fonts cannot be initialized, which happens mostly then when the archives aren't initialized, which happens when the archives aren't there or the vfs_config.ini wasn't properly configured.

My links seem to be working again. It was probably just a glitch on the server side.

Can you upload to Esnips without having to register first? I don't think Turboupload has an expiration date, as my older files (e.g. alpha v1) are still working.

As with the modding tools. That, of course, depends on the tools. There is, for example, no need to rewrite an slf brower/extractor/whatever when there is a better solution possible. Rewriting other tools may still be a reasonable idea, although you have to ask yourself, whether dealing with root of this problem would not be a more effective solution in the long run.

No, you have to register esnips to upload. But it works pretty good. No need to change if your happy with Turboupload. Smile

Smile

We don't need a .slf extractor, as Dragon Unpacker works very good for any of that. Just need some of the older "tools" brought up to date. Like StiEdit, NPC editor, stuff along those lines. Smile

Actually Stiedit works ok, it's mainly some of the other "tools" that need updating.

OK, here is a new version (Alpha V4). It is now based on SVN revision 2628. Other than that there is only one visible change.
In the properties of the ja2 exe in the Version tab, there is a new entry (Special Build Description - Ja2 v1.13.2628).

This release contains all the files you need, so you don't have to download any previous versions.

-----------

Can someone try to replicate a bug.

In "Tactical/Interface Items.cpp" in function "RenderItemDescriptionBox" there is this line

	INT8			showBox=DetermineShowBox();

It determines which image is taken to draw the Description box background image. In my case i have EDB disabled, resolution is 1024x768 (=2),
NIV is on, item is a simple gun, and i am in MAP_SCREEN. The image "INTERFACE\\iteminfoc.STI" is selected earlier in function
"InternalInitItemDescriptionBox" and it has only one image inside. But the function "DetermineShowBox" gives "1" as a
result, and as a consequence i get a crash. In the function "DetermineShowBox"

	else if(UsingNewInventorySystem() == true)	//NIV
	{
		if(gpItemDescObject->IsActiveLBE(gubItemDescStatusIndex))
			return (gpItemDescObject->GetLBEPointer(gubItemDescStatusIndex)->lbeClass + (guiCurrentItemDescriptionScreen == MAP_SCREEN ? 1 : 0));
		else if(Item[gpItemDescObject->usItem].usItemClass == IC_LBEGEAR)
			return (LoadBearingEquipment[Item[gpItemDescObject->usItem].ubClassIndex].lbeClass + (guiCurrentItemDescriptionScreen == MAP_SCREEN ? 1 : 0));
		else if (Item[gpItemDescObject->usItem].usItemClass & (IC_WEAPON|IC_EXPLOSV|IC_AMMO|IC_ARMOUR|IC_PUNCH) && UsingEDBSystem() > 0 )
			return (guiCurrentItemDescriptionScreen == MAP_SCREEN ? 6 : 5);
		else
			return (guiCurrentItemDescriptionScreen == MAP_SCREEN ? 1 : 0);
	}

i end up in the last statement

return (guiCurrentItemDescriptionScreen == MAP_SCREEN ? 1 : 0);

Can someone who is familiar with this code verify that this is either correct or wrong.

@birdflu: I downloaded V4 and put that in my JA2 root folder. Then I renamed "vfs_config_JDC_STI.ini" to "vfs_config.ini".
I also put the following lines in my ja2.ini:

[RII]
#WIDTH = your preferred window width
#HEIGHT = your preferred window height
#for example
WIDTH = 800
HEIGHT = 600

Now when I start the EXE in windowed mode, I see the boarder of the window a few seconds, but then the EXE terminates. Is there anything missing what I have done?

EDIT: If I just want to play 1.13 (Data-1.13) do I have to create a folder called "v113" in the "Profiles" folder? What files should I put in that "v113" folder?

Can you look if you have a new file "exception_init.log" either in the executables directory or in exedir/Profiles/UserProfile.

First I expect the normal configuration, that is the directories Data and Data-1.13 have to be in the executables directory. For any other configuration you would have to modify vfs_config.ini.

If you want to use vfs_config_JDC_STI.ini you need to have the converted archives. To convert the slf archives you have to start the batch file convert_nopng.bat. This "script" will create a new directory batdir/Profiles/libs and put the new archives in this directory. Convert.bat would create the directory batdir/Profiles/libs_png, convert the slf archives and while doing this also convert the sti files. Once you have the archives, the game should start.

If you don't want to convert the archives, use the file vfs_config_SLF.ini

BirdFlu, if you have time would you please take a quick look at the ja2tileset editor? it was created in 1999 and the instructions are cryptic at best. i believe you could modernize this utility in just a few minutes an many people would use it as this is another roadblock for modding. Thanks very much if you can help.

Actually the way the tilesets themselves are arranged is very restricting and needlessly complex. If someone could make one directory for all tilesets instead of having them grouped into several folders mdders could use any tile in any map and we could really start to see some interesting maps. This is likely a huge amount of work since the game would also have to be told how to assemble the default maps but the payoff would be immense.

But this isn't what OLDNOOB was asking. The tileset editor is located at Kermi's site (just look for any post he made and there is a link in his tag). It is a way to assemble new tilesets using the existing flawed structure. I am sure there is a good reason for why they did it the way they did (reducing the resources used to run the program is maybe why?) but I am pretty sure those reasons only apply to systems circa 1998. Reorganizing the tiles into one all encompassing set would make mapping so much better while increasing the modding potential and making life a little easier for mod makers.

But at the very least a better tileset editor and .jsd tool would be very cool.

There is a very good jsd tool called Blackdragon's JSD Editor I believe is also on Kermi's site but this is written in Russian and could really stand an English version if not complete overhaul.

You are right. Very cool!

I remember now the issue I had with it. In the old editor it was quite easy to visualize the '3d' aspect of the jsd but this editor uses layers that I just can't get my head around. I asked one of the guys (mAN I think) who recommended this program to explain it but he didn't have much luck making it sink into my dense skull.

If someone could explain how the layers of that program correspond to the actual 'structure I'd sure like to know.

Also, in the old editor you had to match the shadow sti to the image. I have not seen such an application with Blackdragon's editor. But the fact you can do so much more with this editor makes it a lot better.

I believe it still lacks the ability to make roof tiles, ground tiles and maybe a few other things but it is way better than the old editor.

OK, i'm off for a couple of days. But before i do that, i will ask for one thing.
In Multiplayer code (Multiplayer\client.cpp and Multiplayer\server.cpp) there are some WinAPI calls (GetPrivateProfileString()). These calls are the main reason why my mod doesn't support multiplayer. This is because i have an own ini Parser, as the WinAPI can't read from my generic VFS files, but requires a real file(name) instead. So, what i'm asking for is that the WinAPI calls are replaced with IniReader::Read* methods, as i already modified it to work with my VFS. I think it is the logical thing to do and the changes also should be checked in into the main repository.

As for the tileset editor, i can look into it, but don't expect it too soon, as i plan not to be dragged away to another project leaving the previous one in an unfinished state (again). I want my mod (for now only VFS and PNG stuff) to be properly implemented and tested and eventually being included in the main branch. But, until now, i haven't seen many reports or about it, being them good or bad. Questions are also welcome.

I mean, the VFS and PNG stuff is mostly finished so there is probably not that much to do anymore, but i still need some feedback to see, whether it works on other computers at least. I would like people to look into the configuration files and modify them, play with them. I want to know if the concept is even understandable by other people than me, and whether they can achieve what they want to achieve. And if you think that something should be done in a different way, i would also want to know that.

Frankly, I don't even really know what you are trying to do.

I heard mention of changing file types and that really seemed more an unnecessary complication than anything that would help a modder so - I'm sorry - but I really have not been following this at all.

I really wish you could have got something done with the prof.dat externalization and they wouldn't have got so fancy with the sprites project.

I mean, at least that one could have been in pre beta by now if they just used the exiting graphics structure instead of getting all fancy with it.

But what do I know? I'm on the outside looking in these days and that is where I want to be.

What might have seemed overcomplicated was the discussion about giving a "meaningful" extension name to converted files. The conversion itself was simple, slf -> 7z and STI -> png@7z. So, no need anymore for slf and sti tools.

There is a program with my release, Ja2Convert.exe

Call

Ja2Convert.exe slf Data/archivename.slf out/archivename.jdc.7z

to convert a slf archive into an 7z archive, that you can open with your regular archiving program (as long it supports 7z archives).

Call

Ja2Convert.exe slf -sti2png Data/archivename.slf out/archivename.jdc.7z

to convert a slf archive into an 7z archive AND additionally convert sti files to 7z archives that contain a series of png images.

Call

Ja2Convert sti Data/imagename.sti out/imagename.jpc.7z

to convert a sti image into an 7z archive that contains a series of png images (and in some cases an additional xml file).

You can replace ALL sti images with such uncompressed archives right now, no need to wait for other releases. The batch files convert.bat and convert_nopng.bat do just that (well, .. they convert only the slf archives).

OLDNOOOB

and then we can move them wherever we like?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. The new files have to be in the same place as the old files, unless you want to play with vfs_config.ini.

Does this batch file work on multi paged sti's?

I mean will it extract all images from a multipage automatically instead of the mind numbing manual method?

The batch files (for now) convert only slf archives and sti files INSIDE these archives. If you want to convert sti files in the Data and Data-1.13 directories you have to call Ja2Convert.exe for every file separately. It is theoretically possible to convert all sti files in a directory automatically as the program contains the complete VFS code, but it is not fully implemented yet.

Oh, and yes it does convert a multipaged sti image into a 7z archive with a series of png images inside it.

Just try it out for yourself. All you have to know it how to work with the command prompt.

@RoWa21
Are you sure that your Data directory is "exedir/Data", because the file exception_init2.log says "font is NULL", which is usually an indicator that the fonts weren't initialized. The other message "Profile is supposed to be writeable!" is a little strange, but it is probably a problem with the vfs_config.ini. Could you give me the location of the Data directories relative to the exe.

Could you try this new version (only exe, requires all other files from alpha v4).

Has anyone succeeded to start the v4 release at all???

EDIT: With the latest EXE the game goes a little bit further until the SIR-TECH splash screen occures. Then an assertion is shown:

RUNTIME ERROR

File: Init.cpp
Line: 592
Location: [InitializeJA2]
* Loading external data failed *

The locations look OK. But the game still fails in the function

BOOLEAN LoadExternalGameplayData(STR directoryName).

Unfortunately it does a lot, but when it fails, it doesn't say where. Can you try this new version. It should print a useful error message, i hope.
