Custom Res Prob... (ITS NOTT OVER!!!)

class RscPicture

   type=0;

      movingEnable=0;
      duration=18;
      name="credits2";
      controls[]={"credits2"};
      class credits2: RscPicture
      {
         text="credits2.jpg";
         x=0.200000;
         y=0.200000;
         w=0.600000;
         h=0.600000;
      }
   class presents
   {
      idd=-1;
      movingEnable=0;
      duration=18;
      name="presents";
      controls[]={"presents"};
      class presents: RscPicture
      {
         text="presents.jpg";
         x=0.200000;
         y=0.200000;
         w=0.600000;
         h=0.600000;
      };
   };
};

That's my des.ext. For some reason none of the cutRSC's want to show up... How come? I call it using:

cutRSC["title","PLAIN"]
~6

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance


Tanks!

class cut2a
   {
      idd=-1;
      movingEnable=0;
      duration=18;
      name="Title";
      controls[]={"cut2a"};
      class cut2a: RscPicture
      {
         text="cut2a.jpg";
         x=0.200000;
         y=0.200000;
         w=0.600000;
         h=0.600000;
      }

If you're using:

cutRSC["title","PLAIN"]

Then you're trying to reference the resource I've put up above right?

While the 'name' of that resources is "title", the class name is cut2a.
If you want to use the cutrsc command on it, you'll need to use the class name, rather than the 'name' name

[Captain Winters]

no no no! that was just an example. I'm using the correct name...

Tanks!

[Sui]

Righto... so either the file is not being found (the actual resource file I mean), or you might be using a cuttext command too soon after you call the resource.

Try putting a pause after you call the resource, or use titlersc instead of cutrsc...

Anyway, I should probably stop forum whoring and get to work... ;D

[Captain Winters]

Damn it. ODesn't work either  
This is how i call them in my cam script...

...? I don't havethe slighest clue to whats wrong?

Tanks!

[Sui]

hmm... maybe try putting a space in between the RSC and the ["... eg.

cutrsc ["credits1","PLAIN"]

?

[MI_Fred]

Ok, I'll throw in some too.  
colorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
size=0;
The pics wouldn't obviously show if those infact had some effect. But I doubt it's that. Double check that type=0; and style=48; are valid ones for this. I'd grab a file where they are defined and use 'em.

* MI_Fred hammers titleRsc down Captain Winters' throat

they are titleRsc's... (class RscTitles)  

[Captain Winters]

Okay, I tried calling it with 'titleRSC ["",""]' but that didn't work. I aswell tried with 'cutRSC ["",""]' that too didn't work.
When I try to call it I get the error you can see on the attachment.
I think it may have to do with me defining which RSC's I'm gona be using, sorta like when you define your music tracks...
(credits1 is the first RSC I pull up...)
Any more ideas?

Tanks!

[Gameer_77]

Here's a snippet from my .ext in a mission:

Code: [Select]


class RscTitles
{
   class Gameer36
   {
      name = "Gameer36";
      duration = 1;
      idd = -1;
      movingEnable = false;
      fadein=0;
      controls[]=
      {
         text
      };
      class text:RscText
      {
         style = ST_LEFT;
         lineSpacing = 1.0;
         text = "Sweep-Stake";
         x = 0.34; y = 0.27; w = 0.6; h = 0.4;
         colorText[] = {0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1};
         font =  FontBOOK;
         size = 2.25;
      };
   };



That works when you do "cutrsc ["Gameer36","plain"]".

Try that as a template.

Also, remember you need to have all the defines etc. at the top.

Gameer

[Captain Winters]

Hmmm, is that defing a custom picture or custom text?

Tanks!

[Gameer_77]

Oh, text...but you can change it so it's a picture by replacing the "text" with pic.jpg or what-not.

It was really to give an idea of how to lay it out.

For example, 2 have two seperate pics:

Code: [Select]


class RscTitles
{
   class Picture1
   {
      name = "Gameer36";
      duration = 1;
      idd = -1;
      movingEnable = false;
      fadein=0;
      controls[]=
      {
         text
      };
      class text:RscText
      {
         style = ST_LEFT;
         lineSpacing = 1.0;
         text = picture1.jpg;
         x = 0.34; y = 0.27; w = 0.6; h = 0.4;
         colorText[] = {0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1};
         font =  FontBOOK;
         size = 2.25;
      };
   class Picture2
   {
      name = "Gameer36";
      duration = 1;
      idd = -1;
      movingEnable = false;
      fadein=0;
      controls[]=
      {
         text
      };
      class text:RscText
      {
         style = ST_LEFT;
         lineSpacing = 1.0;
         text = picture2.jpg;
         x = 0.34; y = 0.27; w = 0.6; h = 0.4;
         colorText[] = {0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1};
         font =  FontBOOK;
         size = 2.25;
      };
   };



Then to show the pics would be "cutrsc ["picture1","plain"]" and "cutrsc ["picture2","plain"].

For pictures, you might have to mess around with the height ("h") and width ("w") values.

okay this is what i put together:

class RscPicture
{
   type=0;
   idc=-1;
   style=48;
   colorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
   colorText[]={1,1,1,1};
   font="tahomaB24";
   size=0;
};
class RscTitles
{
  class cut2a
  {
      name = "cut2a";
      duration = 16.5;
      idd = -1;
      movingEnable = false;
      fadein=0;
      controls[]=
      {
        cut2a
      };
      class cut2a:RscPicture
      {
        style = ST_LEFT;
        lineSpacing = 1.0;
        text = cut2a.jpg;
        x = 0.200000; y = 0.200000; w = 0.600000; h = 0.600000;
        colorText[] = {0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1};
        font =  FontBOOK;
        size = 2.25;
      };
  class credits1
  {
      name = "credits1";
      duration = 16.5;
      idd = -1;
      movingEnable = false;
      fadein=0;
      controls[]=
      {
        credits1
      };
      class credits1:RscPicture
      {
        style = ST_LEFT;
        lineSpacing = 1.0;
        text = credits1.jpg;
        x = 0.200000; y = 0.200000; w = 0.600000; h = 0.600000;
        colorText[] = {0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1};
        font =  FontBOOK;
        size = 2.25;
      };
  class presents
  {
      name = "presents";
      duration = 10;
      idd = -1;
      movingEnable = false;
      fadein=0;
      controls[]=
      {
        presents
      };
      class presents:RscPicture
      {
        style = ST_LEFT;
        lineSpacing = 1.0;
        text = presents.jpg;
        x = 0.200000; y = 0.200000; w = 0.600000; h = 0.600000;
        colorText[] = {0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1};
        font =  FontBOOK;
        size = 2.25;
      };
  class credits2
  {
      name = "credits2";
      duration = 16.5;
      idd = -1;
      movingEnable = false;
      fadein=0;
      controls[]=
      {
        credits2
      };
      class credits2:RscPicture
      {
        style = ST_LEFT;
        lineSpacing = 1.0;
        text = credits2.jpg;
        x = 0.200000; y = 0.200000; w = 0.600000; h = 0.600000;
        colorText[] = {0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1};
        font =  FontBOOK;
        size = 2.25;
      };
  };

but i still get a 'Resource title credits1 not found' error. I have all the pictures in my mission folder, if I read what Sui wrote a long time back, everything should work fine... but it isn't  

Tanks!

[Gameer_77]

Why don't you try it with just one for now?

I can't read through all that right now, so try this and tell me what happens:

Code: [Select]

class RscPicture
{
  type=0;
  idc=-1;
  style=48;
  colorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
  colorText[]={1,1,1,1};
  font="tahomaB24";
  size=0;
};

class RscTitles
{
  class credits1
  {
      name = "credits1";
      duration = 16.5;
      idd = -1;
      movingEnable = false;
      fadein=0;
      controls[]=
      {
        credits1
      };
      class credits1:RscPicture
      {
        style = ST_LEFT;
        lineSpacing = 1.0;
        text = credits1.jpg;
        x = 0.200000; y = 0.200000; w = 0.600000; h = 0.600000;
        colorText[] = {0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1};
        font =  FontBOOK;
        size = 2.25;
      };
  };

Have you got all the defines at the top?

[Captain Winters]

Yea I have that....  :'(
