Add-On Not Showing In Add-On List

[Truce]

Is your description.txt file formatted the right way?

Well, description.txt's can have anything inside them, unless you're running it through RTB's checking system. I'm often too lazy to make one for my personal scripts so I just hurl in a blank one.

So do yal know what is wrong?

[Rynst]

This sometimes happens to me, what I do to fix it is:

• Create a folder with the same name of the .zip file (Without the extention, duur).
• Extract the contents of the .zip file inside the folder.
• Enable ingame.

I'm not too sure if this is a permenant fix, but it usually works for me :)

[ryanb31394]

Well, that made it show in the menu, but it still doesn't show up ingame.....

[Rynst]

It is probably a problem with the script then.

Can you post your console log now?

When I try to check off which Add-Ons I want Blockland to load, my add-on is not there. Could you take a look at my script and figure it out?

Oh Cool xD

[ryanb31394]

erm....why are you here? And quoting very long posts?

[Fordmany]

does anyone know where i can get the city RPG Script

[ryanb31394]

Get Out. Seriously. You have no use in this topic. Unless you are going to help me, which is doubtful judging by your post, then get out of my topic.

[Space Guy]

Code: [Select]

shapeFile = "./Add-Ons/HHTaser_Weapon/HHTaser.dts";
That won't work. That's looking in Add-Ons/Weapon_HHTaser/Add-Ons/HHTaser_Weapon/HHTaser.dts. Try this instead:

Code: [Select]

shapeFile = "./HHTaser.dts";
Do the same for the sound files, assuming your model is actually located there.

Code: [Select]

AddDamageType("HHTaser",   '<bitmap:add-ons/ci/sword> %1',    '%2 <bitmap:add-ons/ci/sword> %1',1,1);That's using a nonexistant file. If you really want it to show a sword message, then use Add-Ons/Weapon_Sword/CI_sword, otherwise you should be making your own one and using that instead.

[blocklander59]

how do you even get add-ons and get add-on list

I planned on changing it. I was just trying to get it into the game. Hopefully this works! :D
EDIT: Okay, now it is saying something about the damage type:

Code: [Select]

Loading Add-On: Weapon_HHTaser
Executing Add-Ons/Weapon_HHTaser/server.cs.
WARNING: AddDamageType() - HHTaser file "add-ons/ci/sword.png" does not exist!

6 datablocks added.
Here is my script in that area:

Code: [Select]

//projectile
AddDamageType("HHTaser",   '<bitmap:add-ons/Weapon_Sword/CI_sword> %1',    '%2 <bitmap:add-ons/Weapon_Sword/CI_sword> %1',1,1);

   //projectileShapeName = "~/data/shapes/arrow.dts";
   directDamage        = 40;
   directDamageType  = $DamageType::HHTaser;
   radiusDamageType  = $DamageType::HHTaser;
   explosion           = HHTaserExplosion;
   //particleEmitter     = as;

   muzzleVelocity      = 50;
   velInheritFactor    = 1;

   armingDelay         = 2;

Apparently it isn't updating or something. I have saved it and even unchecked it in add-ons, exited blockland and re-checked it...still didn't work...

[Kalphiter]

You will be able to see description.txt or w/e messages when the client is first started, it will say "checking add-on" than all the add-ons you have.
