TF2 Extension

[brave palm]

Somewhere in your code, you're passing a function where you should be passing a string.

It's your deserialize load order function @weary bloom

On L125 and L113 you've passed different arguments to those required by the function on L199

Line 113 - You're passing the context objectt

deserializeLoadOrder: async () => await DeserializeLoadOrder(context),

Line 125 - You're passing just the API object.

currentLO = await deserializeLoadOrder(context.api);

Line 199 - The actual function you've written requires two arguments,

async function DeserializeLoadOrder(discovery, api) {}

This why I like Typescript 😛 It tells you if you're passing the wrong objects into functions.

Thank you, how do I use typescript, I have visual studio installed

Do I just rename the .js to .ts?

[brave palm]

It would require setting up the extension from scratch so probably not worth it at this stage

[weary bloom]

Well there's not that much code

Couldn't be that hard

I mean how different can typescript be to javascript

Plus I barely know javascript anyway

[brave palm]

Typescript include a "compile" step that basically converts it back to pure JS.

[weary bloom]

ohhh okay

You could use this as a base (strip out the Mass Effect specific stuff and start over)

[weary bloom]

thanks ill try that

[weary bloom]

why is the index a .tsx? and not .ts?

[weary bloom]

Btw do you any extensions that have a load order system where they sort by writing to a text file?

[brave palm]

TSX files include react components for the UI usually

[weary bloom]

cool

Baldurs Gate 3 is a recent but complex example

[weary bloom]

Okay cool, I only need to write the filepath to the mod.vpk

Shouldn't be hard to change that

(last words before insanity)

[weary bloom]

Okay so I noticed like all of the code is sperated into seperate .tsx. How do I use them? Well open them/merge them into so don't just have lists of redlines?

[brave palm]

You probably should use VSCode with the Typescript support built in. You'd also need to run npm install to set up the libraries to stop the red lines
