FKCheck Error's - I cant figure out the errror! Help!

Elwin · Post by **Elwin** » Sat May 28, 2005 12:48 pm

Every time I try to add a quest log section on my area I get a bad db error. Here is what I have down for the section. Any help is appreciated. I took it from the quests section on the builder's lessons.

You need a tilda at the end of each line.

Elwin · Post by **Elwin** » Sat May 28, 2005 3:24 pm

Added the tildas, but it's still erroring out. And it's erroring on the #QUESTS line, which tells me that it's not recognizing that as a valid section, but I'm not an experienced builder, so I don't really know.

downloaded what I think is the newest version of FKCheck from the builders lessons. It still gives me the same error. THis is what I have for my area.

<--------------- Dont put a whole question solution up on line like that!!!!! ----->

Send it to builders address if you need more help that gives away IC info.

I concur with Elwin... I DLed the AreaCheck off of the website link, and I still have to cut out my QUESTS sections to get it to run. Same error as Stayne posted a good while back if the QUESTS section is left in.

I also get error flags with all the new elf race flags on a mobile. Honestly it doesn't matter on a mobile, so I just find/replaced them all to RACE_ELF and that made it pass that part of the check.

I found it!

And OOOOOoooo! It's in java now! I can run it on my mac without having to use Virtual PC.

EDIT: And it works so much smoother, and gives me the error a lot closer to the problem!

I love you guys!

I've run this through the FK check numerous times looking for problems but cant seem to get it past this point.
I've added the version I'm using just in case it's an old or invalid version and should be upgraded.

Area Syntax checker v2.0 FKMUD v2.0
Loaded Area.
Boot_db: # not found.
LINE: 31
Finished.

And using FK builder I also recieve this..

ERROR: Area.load: # not found.(Line 31)

Line 31 below is in bold and the entire opening section of the area is below that, any help would be greatly appreciated

AREA and AUTHOR should both have a ~ at the end of the line.
So should RESETMSG.

RANGES needs a $ after it.

I get this statement in regards to a skill trainer the value(8%) is from the line %8 2 climb~

ERROR: Bit not found: value(%8)(Line 309)

This is using 'FK builder' FYI

The whole of the mob prog is..

I've run it against other mobs that pass fine though

Dalvyn · Post by **Dalvyn** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 10:13 am

I can't see the problem at first glance.

I spotted another small problem though... there are 2 lines with languages. The first one lists all the languages known to the mob; the second one lists the language the mob is currently speaking (by default) and should thus have only ONE language flag. Otherwise, it might create problems with PCs unable to understand the mob.

Japcil · Post by **Japcil** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:04 pm

Your missing the +2 after d10 or whatever number you choose, not sure if it has to be 2. Add that and you should be fine.

Rhytania · Post by **Rhytania** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:12 pm

That shouldnt affect the mobs training problems.

Dalvyn · Post by **Dalvyn** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:19 pm

That might be that... I think even "+0" have to be explicitly written.

Rhytania · Post by **Rhytania** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:34 pm

Hmm, so if thats the case would that also affect mobprogs, by not having the dx+x field populated?

Dalvyn · Post by **Dalvyn** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 5:51 pm

It might be the case (again, just guessing) that it expects 2 numbers. One for hit dice size, and one for hit dice bonus, as in the 10 and 2 in "d10+2". And if the 2 is not given, it simply reads the next number.

It would thus read

d10 450
15 15 13 13 13 13 13
0 0 0 0 0
LANG_COMMON|LANG_HALFLING|LANG_DWARVEN|LANG_GNOME
LANG_COMMON|LANG_HALFLING|LANG_DWARVEN|LANG_GNOME
RIS_NONE RIS_NONE RIS_NONE

as

d10+450 15
15 13 13 13 13 13 0
0 0 0 0 LANG_COMMON|LANG_HALFLING|LANG_DWARVEN|LANG_GNOME
LANG_COMMON|LANG_HALFLING|LANG_DWARVEN|LANG_GNOME RIS_NONE
RIS_NONE RIS_NONE ?!?

and finding a missing number in the ?!? spot. (Remember that all flags, like the RIS_ and LANG_ ones above, and all groups of flags separated with pipes | are actually replaced by numbers at some point).

For the missing ?!? field (the "susceptible" part of the resistance), it gets "%8", which it cannot interpret as a value / bit for resistances.

That might explain the "ERROR: Bit not found: value(%8)(Line 309)" error message actually.

It's sometimes kind of tricky to interpret error messages :)

Rhytania · Post by **Rhytania** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 10:20 pm

Ahhh now it makes sense. Kind of as a side note just for my own FYI, Since the mud interprets the alphabetical flags and puts them into the binary equivalent in the long run, would the mud also accept the binary equivalent, or will it mung itself trying to convert it?

Dalvyn · Post by **Dalvyn** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 10:43 pm

It would accept decimal values, yes.

But I wouldn't

Because, obviously, making a mob know "714" instead of LANG_COMMON|LANG_ABYSSAL|LANG_INFERNAL makes it a lot harder to read the file, and maintain it (fix bugs in it, modify it, and so on).
