Missing resources

[dberkompas]

Found the following while learning how to write extensions.

I did a /console, then /reload ruleset

Runtime Notice: Reloading ruleset
Ruleset Warning: Could not load framedef resource (frames/bonus_mod.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/button_tracker.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/button_tracker_down.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/button_cct.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/button_cct_down.png)

There's a button_ct_down.png
There's a button_ct.png
There's a bonus.png

The other two I couldn't find anything similar.


Hmm, maybe I should have done a search to see if this had already been reported, my apologies.

Are you using the latest ruleset extension update? It's in the first thread in this group, and patches the ruleset to be version 2.8. I know there are a number of bug fixes in it.

[dberkompas]

Odd:

I downloaded the 2.081 extension, clicked to add it in my game.

Now when I do the same steps, it got worse:
Runtime Notice: Reloading ruleset
Ruleset Warning: Could not load framedef resource (frames/bonus_mod.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/button_tracker.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/button_tracker_down.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/button_cct.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/button_cct_down.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load framedef resource (frames/borderlesssheetgroup.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/indicator_checkon2.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/indicator_thrown.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/indicator_casterbonusspell_hide.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/indicator_casterbonusspell_show.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load icon resource (icons/tab_horizontal.png)
Ruleset Warning: Could not load framedef resource (frames/borderlesssheetgroup.png)


Now I'm really confused.

[dberkompas]

I guess that's not a good gauge of testing.

Something can be fixed in an extension, but if you reload the ruleset, you're still going to get the original messages, because the extension probably hasn't been parsed yet?

Just guessing.

[dr_venture]

Hmmm... not sure what to suggest. It's a relatively old ruleset at this point. The replacement ruleset is being actively developed, and should have no errors like that. It's possible that those graphic files are being called but actually aren't used by the ruleset anywhere. Does it play and look OK? Also, I assume that you're not using any skin with the game, just the default graphics, correct?

[dberkompas]

That's what I was thinking, they're defined, but not used, so nothing is noticed during gameplay. Not that I'd know, I've never played a game in FGII. Sad, I know.

I hope to soon, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Well, I've got an opening in my game if you're interested - the deets are in the Guild House forum.

Those warnings mean that it couldn't find the files to load them. It usually means that the if the graphic is specified that it won't show anything there so you likely wouldn't even realize it was missing.

[S Ferguson]

When writing extensions that call graphics, they must be included in the extension. That's where it will look for them first, and it's good practice to maintain the directory structure. If you include frames, for example, you should put a frames directory in the extension that calls them.

dr_venture, re the game, thanks, I'll check it out. Don't have time for campaigns, but one-shots are in my future.

Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure if I ever get off the ground w/ Lua coding that I'll pay strict attention to established norms.
