How TXD image work in-game?

[skatefilter5]

I was testing the txd image and the game freezes or crashes when I type "txd"

I did load dictionary with 0390 first without another wait after 0ACD.

 

{$CLEO .cs}


0000: NOP

:START
wait 0
if
0ADC: test_cheat "txd"

jf @START
wait 0
0390: load_txd_dictionary 'TEST/VC1.txd'
0ACD: show_text_highpriority "TEST" time 2000

038F: load_texture "vc1" as [email protected] // Load dictionary with 0390 first
038D: draw_texture [email protected] position [email protected] [email protected] size [email protected] [email protected] RGBA 128 128 128 255

wait 4000
0391: release_textures


end_thread

[fastman92]

'TEST/VC1.txd'

 

the TXD must be inside of models\txd and only a name without an extension must be passed to the command 0390.

 

 

end_thread

It shouldn't be used in CLEO scripts.

 

You've got a long road of learning ahead of you before you can confidently say you know basics of coding at least.

Also the content of the local vars aren't given, so the game should display a texture with size of 0.0 x 0.0

ZAZ and fastman92 have a point.

Go through your code multiple times and try to find what's causing the error yourself. This will significantly improve your script writing, as it's very likely you won't make a mistake twice after having figured out what caused it.

 

The script below is not tested, but I think it might work. Please take your time to read through it and compare it with your own. What's different and why. Also read the comments.

Another hint for the future: Stick close to your scripting tutorial and try everything new in small testing scripts and play around with it. This will improve your coding and broaden your knowledge. SCM Coding for Dummies and ZAZ's CLEO scripting tutorial are excellent choices.

 

I hope i could help out (and the code actually works )

cheers

You don't need decorate your code with WAIT. Use it only to avoid infinite loop.

 

0390: load_txd_dictionary 'TEST/VC1.txd'

The parameter of this opcode can't exceed 8 chars. And... you should be sure this file exists. If you don't obey these limitations, the program behavoir is unexpected.

 

038F: load_texture "vc1" as [email protected] // Load dictionary with 0390 first

This opcode doesn't return a value. You should push a ordinal number of a slot in array of sprites.

[TheSiggi]

The wait for two and four seconds are just there to provide enought time to spot the differences in rendering, when he plays around with the values. There is no reason to use a loop checking for a local script timer over a wait for these purposes.

That comment (about WAIT) has been to topic's author.

[skatefilter5]

Okay I'll try that code, I didn't know I can't only put it in models/txd only but good to know

[spaceeinstein]

If you're working on III/VC, here is a short example code for VC that slides the KChat icon across the screen:

 

0390: load_txd_dictionary 'HUD' // loads from .\models for III/VC, .\models\txd for SA038F: load_texture 'RKCHAT' as 1 // use " (double quotes) for [email protected] = 100.003F0: enable_text_draw 1 while true    wait 0    if        00E1:   player 0 pressed_button 13  // camera key    then        03F0: enable_text_draw 0        break    end    038D: draw_texture 1 position [email protected] 100.0 size 64.0 64.0 RGBA 255 255 255 255    [email protected] += 1.0end

"HUD" refers to .\models\hud.txd. III/VC and SA has some differences but the concept should be the same. Like 033E that draws text on the screen, you should use 03F0 when drawing textures on the screen. This will likely conflict with other mods or parts of the game that does the same thing so be aware of that. Edited September 13, 2017 by spaceeinstein

Also the content of the local vars aren't given, so the game should display a texture with size of 0.0 x 0.0
