need help with TSLPatcher

[LSaberDuelist]

Hi,

 

I wanted to use the TSLPatcher as installer for my first 'mini mod' which adds a Darth Sidious EP 3 style lightsaber and a placeable so you can find the saber in Korriban. In order to make it compatible with other mods like the very cool USM I used the patcher to update the upcrystals.2da, but here I ran into a slight oddity which I could'nt resolve on my own... I tested my configuration of the patcher on two different upcrystals.2da files with the first one everything went well, a new row with the correct entries was added. But then for the next test I used the upcrystals.2da which is included in the USM as test, I dont know what happened but the new row that was added now has the same row index as the one was previously the last row, so there are two rows that have the same index. So what can I do to get this right, so I can finally release this mini mod. Here is my changes.ini that i used:

[settings]
FileExists=1
ConfirmMessage=N/A
LogLevel=3
InstallerMode=1
BackupFiles=1
WindowCaption=Darth Sidious lightsaber mini mod

2 things you can do:

 

1) Don't worry about it, the same numbered line won't make a difference (for the upcrystals.2da at least)

 

or....

 

2) instead of using Add Row in the Patcher's changes.ini for the upcrystals.2da, use the Copy Row function, then use the high() token for your NewRowLabel value...

Nitpicking, but NewRowLabel only works when you copy an existing row. Just use RowLabel when you add a new row from scratch. (The terminology for those keywords are a bit messy, but it's too late to do anything about now.)

 

For the high() token to work when assigned to an AddRow RowLabel you'll need v1.1.7 of the TSLPatcher though, that I posted a few days ago in the TSLPatcher release thread.

Great, now it does work. I used the high() token and 1.17...and duh, I see this problem was discussed in the TSLPatcher thread on the last page, good thing I only read the first page...
