• Change to the combat hook?

Posted: **Thu Feb 08, 2007 12:37 pm**

I'm trying to run 097 on linux, and I can't seem to get the combat hook to work properly. The same code runs fine on Windows, but it never seems to run on linux. I figured it was something to do with case-sensitivity, but the cases seem to match up okay. Here's the syshook.cfg:

Code: Select all

SystemHookScript newcombat.ecl
{
	Attack AttackScript

}

This is in the same directory as newcombat.src/ecl, which is simply:

Code: Select all

exported function AttackScript( mobAttacker, mobDefender )
print( mobAttacker.name + " attacking " + mobDefender.name );
	return 1;
endfunction

(there actually is custom combat code, but I just commented it out for now and only have that print statement there)

As far as I can tell everything seems correct, but that print statement never get called. However, if I run the same files on Windows it does call the print statement...

Have you made sure there was no Case Sensitive issue here? (aka, all lower case for the actual file's name, like in your cfg ? )

Is it print or Print ?

I think hes talking about the file name tek... I never had a problem with case sensitivity of the function names themselves...

I bet it's something like MuadDib mentioned. The newcombat.ecl/src is often spelled as newCombat.ecl/src in older distro versions or by other people. That's always a problem if you use windows and linux versions. I personally changed all filenames to lower case a few years ago and of course do the same in scripting. I think it is perhaps the capital C in combat.
