Looks like a bug in the default_skeleton.txt script - I'm a bit short for time though, so I'll take a proper look later. Any chance you could pm me the file and I'll take a look at it?

Your mphq nick is grey fox, right? Kendo said you needed a hand, so I sent you a pm, but you didn't reply. images/icons/confused.gif

You've got an extra ">" laying around in your default_skeleton.txt file. Try going to line 1237 (I think that was what line it said it was one). Look for bits of code that either:
a) Are incorrectly used
b) Are missing an ending "}" or
c) Have something along the lines of a typo, like ->> or something.

I don't know what you've done to the default_skeleton.txt file exactly (as far as what you added or modified), but you could also try looking for code blocks that shouldn't be in there. MP is picky.

Joe should just re-name this forum to "Ask Maddieman" or "Maddieman's Max Payne advice" or something much clever then that. Almost every new thread lately has started of with "Att: Maddieman, need help plz!!" images/icons/smile.gif

Almost every new thread lately has started of with "Att: Maddieman, need help plz!!" Yeah they should just make him moderator or sumthin, he's always friggin here(is there moderators at this forum? I forget havn't seen one in a looong time if there is).

And in answer to your question id say sir plague is right looks like you've put a > instead of a } or a ).

Check your email - I think I’ve fixed it.

It was more complicated than I expected, though. It looks like you moved an animation (reload sawed shotgun) to the bottom of the script (in max payne.txt); and for some reason, I think it upset the Max engine. Everything else seems fine, but I didn’t get a chance to test it properly.

Hopefully it'll work for you now. images/icons/cool.gif

Oh christ...another one.

Ok, I take it you tried the obvious and that the square bracket isn't a typo. Have you changed the scripts much since I last saw them?

Anyway, I'll take another look.

EDIT:

Got it. images/icons/smile.gif

There's a */ on line 1094 in ..\database\skins\maxpayne.txt/ graemlins/doh.gif

The tricky aspect is that the two files (skeleton and max_payne) refer to each other, so line 17 in the error is refering to the skeleton.txt where as line 1066 is referring to the code in max_payne.txt.

So you fixed it!?! GREAT!!!

Yeah I hate that damn txt thing. What is really odd is that in the max_payne.txt file, it allows you to edit the weapons effects and prjectils, BUT it doesn't do anything unless you do it in the default_skeleton.txt Odd isn't it???

Right now I am busy ripping Oni and James Bond Nightfire files images/icons/tongue.gif

MaddieMan, I need to talk to you sometime about something. images/icons/cool.gif

OH!!!!!! YOU DIDN'T FIX IT. Sorry!! hehen just got exited. Hmmm.....that's ood. it is saying that
[Movement] EndPosition = (0,0,-1); Rotation = (0,0,0);

is wrong in line 1066. BUt maybe that's the wrong line. Maybe C++ has a diffrent line as compared to the notepad. So I don't know. Cause when I copy the entire .txt into DreamWeaver UltraDev, it showed it as........sh*t ( graemlins/nelson.gif ) just tried it in DW4 and it points to the same thing.... graemlins/doh.gif Never mind. I'm just going insane...... images/icons/rolleyes.gif ...........I will try to figure it out somehow.....odd though. What could be wrong with that part????

Really I belive it's the leadpipe. ShootLeadPipe.

Because when I renamed an old default_skeleton and max_payne txt's, it still did the first error. Maybe somehow I goffed. Also another thing you may what to know is that I fixed that first error by meesing with the leadpipe.........see what I mean? I am starting to think that somewhere (OVER THE RAINBOW!!!! images/icons/grin.gif ) in default_skeleton, the leadpipe has affected other lines of code. I'll try a completely old file tonight.

AH HA!! I modified the old txt's and it works again. Now to test the new stuff ONE BY ONE to find out what's going on......

Annoying...I thought I had this sussed. graemlins/tinyted.gif

I decided fairly early on in k2's development (well, a month ago actually images/icons/blush.gif ) to make the katana an individual weapon, instead of replacing the leadpipe - thankfully Zer0 managed to clear that mess up. It solved a lot of problems and opened up a few possibilities.

As for text/script editors, try 'ultra edit'. That's the one recommended by Remedy and it has syntax hightlighting which can be useful.

I'll look at your code again tomorrow. images/icons/rolleyes.gif

AH HA!! I modified the old txt's and it works again. /me bangs head against desk.
