Title: Yamaguchi Bridge + Auto Bridge Switch
Post by: Kirk on July 08, 2008, 04:09:53 PM

Whenever I transport over to a ship that has the Yamaguchi bridge set as its bridge, this error pops up and the bridge doesn't load.

Well, the Auto Bridge Switch thinks it needs to load the Yamaguchi Bridge (Enterprise-C bridge if memory serves), but you don't have that installed.

I do have it installed, it came with KM 1.0 and I can use it when I select it in the QB menu. Also, spelling isn't an issue because I copy and pasted the name into the plugin.

Actually, you did make a typo:

Code: [Select]

YamaguchiBridge

What?! The .py is lowercase, but the .pyc is upper case?!? I have never noticed this. Why isn't there two separate bridges then? Python is case sensitive.

I am not imagining things.

It's inside the plugin that matters. ;)


So far, there are no plugins in BC (except ship files, which aren't exactly plugins) that are filename based.

In fact, you can define 0, 1 or many bridges/ships/sounds in a single file.

Ah, now I see. The bridge name has always corresponded to the file name, so I never had a problem, but this changes things.

It corrisponds with the bridge file, not bridge plugin.

It's basicly the same with ships, I'm not too thrilled by it (I like to call it "legacy" code).

What is the difference? (Sorry python and scripting= not my strong point)

This has nothing Python specific (only BC). :P

I specificly used the same terms you would use for ships.

Ship files reside in scripts/Ships, while a Ship plugin resides in scripts/Custom/Ships/

A Bridge file resides in scripts/Bridge and a Bridge Plugin (not to be mistaken for BPCore, even though BP stands for Bridge Plugin, because originally BP created the first Bridge Plugin as we know it today) lives in scripts/Custom/Autoload/ the same file you attached.

Those files are both from scripts/Bridge. :/ Now I'm sort of confused.

Not on my install, but I only went with what the plugin said.
