Problems coding new playertypes

[Bot man]

Hello all, I came here because I'm working on a series of playertypes called "Lightweight" players; players with 1/3 of the mass of a normal player in order to make better use of jets. Unfortunately, I've run into a problem with these: they refuse to appear ingame. I've tried several times to look for syntax errors and make the code the most like other playertype's I could, but still no result. So, as a last resort, I turn to the FORUMS!

Here's the contents of the Player_Lightweight.cs I'm using:

Code: [Select]

//3x less mass with jets

datablock PlayerData(PlayerLightweightJet : PlayerStandardArmor)
{
maxdamage = 55

mass = 40

runForce = 5 * 70;
maxForwardSpeed = 50;
maxSideSpeed = 40;
maxBackwardSpeed = 18;

minJetEnergy = 90;
jetEnergyDrain = 2;
canJet = 1;

uiName = "Standard Lightweight Player";
showEnergyBar = false;
};

//3x less mass with limited jets

datablock PlayerData(PlayerLightweightFuelJet : PlayerStandardArmor)
{
maxdamage = 55

mass = 40

runForce = 5 * 70;
maxForwardSpeed = 50;
maxSideSpeed = 40;
maxBackwardSpeed = 18;

minJetEnergy = 5;
jetEnergyDrain = 2;
canJet = 1;

uiName = "Fuel Jet Lightweight Player";
showEnergyBar = true;
};

//3x less mass with no jets

datablock PlayerData(PlayerLightweightNoJet : PlayerStandardArmor)
{
maxdamage = 55

mass = 40

runForce = 5 * 70;
maxForwardSpeed = 50;
maxSideSpeed = 40;
maxBackwardSpeed = 18;

minJetEnergy = 0;
jetEnergyDrain = 0;
canJet = 0;

uiName = "No Jet Lightweight Player";
showEnergyBar = false;
};

And here's the server.cs:

Code: [Select]

exec("./player_lightweight.cs");
If you can help, that'll be great!

Well first of all remove this nonsense

exec("./player_lightweight.cs");

And put the datablocks where they belong, directly in server.cs

And second, your code has syntax errors:

maxdamage = 55

mass = 40

1. If I place the datablocks in the server.cs, do I redirect the Player_Lightweight.cs to the server.cs?
2. So I put the "mass" and "maxdamage" values into the same stanza?

Just copy paste everything to server.cs and delete player_lightweight.cs

No.. you add the missing semicolons!

Ah, silly me! *Fixed*

There's this neat thing called the console. It'll show if your mod has syntax errors or not, and where the error more than likely is.
