interresting problem

ok so I used this link http://www.disastrousconsequences.com/dcforum/posts/list/1238.page to try to make a skill for ut2004 rpg. after about 3 hours of trying and a look one my face some thing like this one :/ I figgured it might be easyer just by first editing an ability. so i picked this one DruidMonsterMasterArtifactMonsterSummon.uc

ok so i figgured out i think how to make 4 monsters just to see if i could make it work. but after I changed that and named the folder ImALumberJackRPG and i kept getting an error. All I did was change a number from 3 to 4 :/ so i thought it was my ucc and it was messed up some how. so I thought if i could put the druid file back the way it was that i might of messed up but now i get this error every time i try to put that file back and it has no files changed :/

heres that error

it said this at the bottem

compile aborted due to errors
Failure - 1 error|<s>, 0 warning<s>

and when i scrole i i found this

DruidsRPG200.DruidMonsterMasterArtifactMonsterSummon: Missing '"' in string Default Properties : ItemName=

so I tryed to fix that one :/ so i open that up and i add found a itemname= in a nothere file and copyed that and changed the name to summon and put the 2 " one on each side.

so it looked like this

ItemName="Summoned Monster"

and now i get this error :/

Error opening file
history: UObject::SavePackage <- UMakeCommandlet::Main

Exiting Due to error

and it said nothing about what to fix :/ so i think i realy realy messed it up that time :/

maybe i just cant have more then 3 monsters at all ??? is it posible to have more ??

thanx for your help and time in advance

Try either:

Removing the ItemName line

Making it: ItemName=""

As, if you look at the default RPG.ini that comes with the download off of the DC website, the monster summoning stuff is configured via INI.

Also realize that your monsters are going to have to have a class associated with them from either the default monsters, or a monster mod you've included.

I suggest you look at:

hmmm ok i have to be doing some thing so wrong its scairy here.
ok I looked in the rpg ini file and I couldnt find eny thing to make the monster master have more then 3 summons. So I went to a nothere pc in my house and tryed to use ucc to take apart a .u file and put it back.
It will take them apart but I cant get them to put it back. i type the commands like this

cd\ut2004\ system

then i type

ucc batchexport DruidsRPG200.u class .uc \DruidsRPG200\Classes

and hit enter

it does its thing and then I take the folder from C: drive were it ends up

and I put it in system were the ucc file is. then with out doing eny thing to it just to see if I can make it go back to how it was I change the folder like in the faq and I put a B at the end of the folder name. just to see and I add this line to the ut2004.ini EditPackages=DruidsRPG200B I use the command ucc make.

it does its thing but it wont finish cuz it ends with this error.

Analyzing Superclass RPGAbility of class AbilityEnhancedDamage not found
History: UMakeCommandlet::Main
Exiting Due to error

well i got that one after I took out the rpg from the game both rpgs druids and the othere one 2 so I think that might of fixed the othere error i was getting cuz that one there is new to me

I also seem to get this error when I put the folder in the ut2004 folder also.

thanx for your help and time in advance

Do you have UT2004RPG installed?

I'm pretty sure RPGAbility is part of UT2004RPG and the AbilityEnhancedDamage is part of Druids.

[edit]
I need one of those thumb drives lol

In your UT2004.ini file, in section [Editor.EditorEngine], you need the line

EditPackages=UT2004RPG

do you have it?

thanx for your help every one !!! I fixed it i was doing every thing right :/ it was my copy that was the problem. So I pulled out my cd's and did the game on my computer from the ground up. now my 20 gig ut2k4 folder is back lol I play alot of mods. but either or ya its fixed was a very interresting problem on why it wasnt working. but now that it works I gues it turned into an interresting mystery

PS. continuum lol you like the thumb drive 2 eh found it on a website selling funny usb tech toys lol also found one were when you rip barbie head off she turns in to a 1 gig jump drive forgot the site I got it off of though.
