AI Scripting

[limey BSc.]

I have recently decided to try some mission scripting and i am using the tutorials on BCU. However, when i get to the AI part, it doesn't seem to work properly.

After much fiddling, i manages to get 'AIEditor.py' to run properly, but when i create a 'Scripted (simple)' box and right click, the Python closes. I managed to get a screenshot just as the dialogue box was closing, and it seems to suggest something in wrong with a file in PMW, line 1751. However, the file in question only had 64 lines in it!

Does anyone know what it going wrong?

Thanks,
Stephen

Care to put up the screenshot?

Also, did you install the right versions of the various components?

[limey BSc.]

I installed the latest version of PMW.

It's entirely possible that you need a specific version of it for it to work, just as you need Python version 1.5.2 (or something like that).

And it isn't entirely usefull to resize a 1600x1200 picture to 800x600 if you want people to be able to read it.

Use Alt+Printscreen to just copy the window (and not the entire desktop).

alt+print screen would not work, as you have about a third of a second to get the screenshot and the box on the right is the active window during that extremely short time.

The message that comes up is:

Thanks to USS Sovereign, the problem is fixed!!

Do let us know what the problem/sollution was.

[limey BSc.]

Everything was in "C:\Utopia\Tools\..."
Instead of "C:\Utopia\Current\Tools\..."

Me not reading the instuctions properly was the problem and the solution was simple!
