I'm going to call it a night until tomorrow

obtuse zinc Jul 14, 2023, 1:59 AM

#

If you never got the displayBanner to show up then either you're editing the wrong EMEVD, or the emevd you're editing is not the one the game is using

#

...or event 0 doesn't work with displayBanner 🤔

nova prawn Jul 14, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

I just put DisplayBanner(4); in and nothing showed up

obtuse zinc Jul 14, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

supposedly ds3 displayBanner does work in event 0 so it's one of the other two

nova prawn Jul 14, 2023, 2:05 AM

#

I guess the main question would be getting darkscript to work with the mod

#

its prolly cus I'm using a older Darkscript 3 because the newer ones refuse to work

obtuse zinc Jul 14, 2023, 2:10 AM

#

it should be working. are editing the unpacked EMEVD that is not in your mod folder, so it never gets used

#

and you probably did not download asp.net that newer versions of darkscript 3 need

nova prawn Jul 14, 2023, 2:12 AM

#

I'll download it after I get hit in bb, can you send me a link here or in dms

#

@obtuse zinc just in case you missed it

#

found it

#

still not working

#

I got the source code for 3.4 and trying to find the error and the intended page its trying to send me to

nova prawn Jul 14, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

As of right now, I am trying to figure out why Darkscript 3.4 isn't working, I've tried downloading 7 different .NET shit, inside of the engine, the fog gate I tried adding doesn't show in game but has collision in game

Event(13805841, Restart, function() {
EndIfEventFlag(EventEndType.End, ON, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13800830);
IfCharacterHPRatio(MAIN, 3800830, ComparisonType.LessOrEqual, 0.5, ComparisonType.Equal, 1);
SetEventFlag(13805832, ON);
});

This is the phase transition script?

#

I wish I knew what this did
Event(13805859, Restart, function() {
InitializeEvent(0, 13805857, 13800830, 3801830, 3802830, 13805835, 3801830, 3800830);
InitializeCommonEvent(20005801, 13800830, 3801830, 3802830, 13805835, 3801830, 13805836);
InitializeCommonEvent(20005820, 13800830, 3801830, 4, 0);
SkipIfEventFlag(2, ON, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13800831);
InitializeCommonEvent(20001836, 13800830, 13805835, 13805836, 13800831, 3804831, 3804832, 13805832);
SkipUnconditionally(1);
InitializeCommonEvent(20005831, 13800830, 13805835, 13805836, 3802830, 3804831, 3804832, 13805832);
InitializeCommonEvent(20005837, 13800830, 3800830, 1094713344, 5290, 5290, 13805835, 13805836);
InitializeCommonEvent(20005810, 13800830, 3801830, 3802830, 10000);
});

#

I figured out how to find the meaning of events

#

InitializeEvent(0, 13800830, 0);????

#

$Event(20005710, Restart, function(X0_4, X4_4, X8_4, X12_4, X16_4) {
EndIf(PlayerIsNotInOwnWorld());
WaitFor(EventFlag(X0_4) && EventFlag(X4_4));
RequestCharacterAICommand(X8_4, 10, 0);
RequestCharacterAIReplan(X8_4);
WaitFor(InArea(X8_4, X16_4));
RotateCharacter(X8_4, X12_4, 60060, true);
time = ElapsedSeconds(3);
WaitFor(InArea(X8_4, X12_4) || time);
RestartIf(time.Passed);
RequestCharacterAICommand(X8_4, -1, 0);
RequestCharacterAIReplan(X8_4);
SetNetworkUpdateRate(X8_4, true, CharacterUpdateFrequency.AlwaysUpdate);
});

Might be fog gate code

#

I am attempting some code

#

InitializeCommonEvent(20005840, 3801831);

#

also known as

#

$Event(20005840, Restart, function(X0_4) {
WaitFor(CharacterType(10000, TargetType.Alive) && EntityInRadiusOfEntity(10000, X0_4, 5, 1));
Unknown200459(10000, Disabled);
WaitFixedTimeSeconds(1);
RestartEvent();
});

#

might be a dud

#

dud

#

I'm going to attempt to copy all common events over to my entity

#

if this doesn't work gonna fuck it, go nuclear

#

fuck it, we ball

Reverse engeineering Boss code for DS3

#

I have renamed this thread to my current project, as I am Reverse engineineering the boss code right now to understand what everything means

#

currently focusing on fog gates

#

Event(13805840, Restart, function() {
    GotoIfEventFlag(Label.LABEL0, OFF, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13800830);
    ChangeCharacterEnableState(3800830, Disabled);

    EndUnconditionally(EventEndType.End);
    Label0();
    SetCharacterAIState(3800830, Disabled);

    IfEntityInoutsideRadiusOfEntity(AND_01, InsideOutsideState.Inside, 3800830, 10000, 22, 1);
    IfDamageType(OR_01, 3800830, 10000, DamageType.Unspecified);
    IfConditionGroup(OR_01, PASS, AND_01);
    IfConditionGroup(MAIN, PASS, OR_01);
    SetNetworkconnectedEventFlag(13800831, ON);
    ForceAnimationPlayback(3800830, 1700, false, true, false, 0, 1);
    GotoUnconditionally(Label.LABEL2);
    Label1();
    IfEventFlag(AND_02, ON, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13805835);
    IfInoutsideArea(AND_02, InsideOutsideState.Inside, 10000, 3802830, 1);
    IfConditionGroup(MAIN, PASS, AND_02);

    DisplayBossHealthBar(Enabled, 3800830, 0, 903050);
    SetNetworkUpdateRate(3800830, true, CharacterUpdateFrequency.AlwaysUpdate);
});```

#

I deleted this from the area script entierly
lets go through what changes

#

more readable for instances later on

Event(13805840, Restart, function() {
    GotoIfEventFlag(Label.LABEL0, OFF, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13800830);
    ChangeCharacterEnableState(3800830, Disabled);
    ForceCharacterDeath(3800830, false);
    EndUnconditionally(EventEndType.End);
    Label0();
    SetCharacterAIState(3800830, Disabled);
    GotoIfEventFlag(Label.LABEL1, ON, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13800831);
    IfPlayerIsNotInOwnWorldExcludesArena(AND_01, false);
    IfEntityInoutsideRadiusOfEntity(AND_01, InsideOutsideState.Inside, 3800830, 10000, 22, 1);
    IfDamageType(OR_01, 3800830, 10000, DamageType.Unspecified);
    IfConditionGroup(OR_01, PASS, AND_01);
    IfConditionGroup(MAIN, PASS, OR_01);
    SetNetworkconnectedEventFlag(13800831, ON);
    ForceAnimationPlayback(3800830, 1700, false, true, false, 0, 1);
    GotoUnconditionally(Label.LABEL2);

    Label1();
    IfEventFlag(AND_02, ON, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13805835);
    IfInoutsideArea(AND_02, InsideOutsideState.Inside, 10000, 3802830, 1);
    IfConditionGroup(MAIN, PASS, AND_02);
    SetSpEffect(3800830, 10575);

    Label2();
    SetCharacterAIState(3800830, Enabled);
    DisplayBossHealthBar(Enabled, 3800830, 0, 903050);
    SetNetworkUpdateRate(3800830, true, CharacterUpdateFrequency.AlwaysUpdate);
});```

#

First noticable change is that the boss will always be active, this is because the first line of code is never ran

Event(13805840, Restart, function() {
    GotoIfEventFlag(Label.LABEL0, OFF, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13800830);
    ChangeCharacterEnableState(3800830, Disabled);
    ForceCharacterDeath(3800830, false);
    EndUnconditionally(EventEndType.End);
    Label0();
    SetCharacterAIState(3800830, Disabled);
    GotoIfEventFlag(Label.LABEL1, ON, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13800831);
    IfPlayerIsNotInOwnWorldExcludesArena(AND_01, false);
    IfEntityInoutsideRadiusOfEntity(AND_01, InsideOutsideState.Inside, 3800830, 10000, 22, 1);
    IfDamageType(OR_01, 3800830, 10000, DamageType.Unspecified);
    IfConditionGroup(OR_01, PASS, AND_01);
    IfConditionGroup(MAIN, PASS, OR_01);
    SetNetworkconnectedEventFlag(13800831, ON);
    ForceAnimationPlayback(3800830, 1700, false, true, false, 0, 1);
    GotoUnconditionally(Label.LABEL2);

#

the second thing that you might notice is that the fog gate still works? and going through it plays music, but no boss healthbar? this is because Label2 is never played

Label2();
    SetCharacterAIState(3800830, Enabled);
    DisplayBossHealthBar(Enabled, 3800830, 0, 903050);
    SetNetworkUpdateRate(3800830, true, CharacterUpdateFrequency.AlwaysUpdate);
});```

#

you might also notice that hes not on fire? or cindery?

#

#

Image 1 shows the boss without the code enabled, image 2 has the code enabled.

#

this could be because of Label 1


    Label1();
    IfEventFlag(AND_02, ON, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13805835);
    IfInoutsideArea(AND_02, InsideOutsideState.Inside, 10000, 3802830, 1);
    IfConditionGroup(MAIN, PASS, AND_02);
    SetSpEffect(3800830, 10575);```

#

so lets break down as much of this code as I can on my own

#

lets start with the shortest and easiest to understand line of code

#

that will be Label 2

Label2();
    SetCharacterAIState(3800830, Enabled);
    DisplayBossHealthBar(Enabled, 3800830, 0, 903050);
    SetNetworkUpdateRate(3800830, true, CharacterUpdateFrequency.AlwaysUpdate);
});```

break down

```js
Label2();
    SetCharacterAIState(3800830, Enabled); //this turns on the AI for the boss
    DisplayBossHealthBar(Enabled, 3800830, 0, 903050); //this displays the health bar, I don't know what 903050 means
    SetNetworkUpdateRate(3800830, true, CharacterUpdateFrequency.AlwaysUpdate); //this seems to be network code saying to up the update rate for other players
});```

#

this makes the boss seek and kill you, and display the boss healthbar

#

but it only goes off when Label 2 is enabled by Label 0

#

Event(13805840, Restart, function() {
    GotoIfEventFlag(Label.LABEL0, OFF, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13800830);
    ChangeCharacterEnableState(3800830, Disabled);
    ForceCharacterDeath(3800830, false);
    EndUnconditionally(EventEndType.End);
    Label0();
    SetCharacterAIState(3800830, Disabled);
    GotoIfEventFlag(Label.LABEL1, ON, TargetEventFlagType.EventFlag, 13800831);
    IfPlayerIsNotInOwnWorldExcludesArena(AND_01, false);
    IfEntityInoutsideRadiusOfEntity(AND_01, InsideOutsideState.Inside, 3800830, 10000, 22, 1);
    IfDamageType(OR_01, 3800830, 10000, DamageType.Unspecified);
    IfConditionGroup(OR_01, PASS, AND_01);
    IfConditionGroup(MAIN, PASS, OR_01);
    SetNetworkconnectedEventFlag(13800831, ON);
    ForceAnimationPlayback(3800830, 1700, false, true, false, 0, 1);
    GotoUnconditionally(Label.LABEL2);

#

to note: 380 numbers are entity ids, 138 is the alive state to a character, and anything that starts with a 9 is boss text

#

this is grossly simplified but its just for notes

nova prawn Jul 16, 2023, 5:43 PM

I'm going to look into this code while I wait for some responses on the other

    SetEventFlag(9317, ON); //setting flags for living or dead

It’s easier for us (maybe just me, i dunno) if you ask one very particular question

#

Like why one or two lines or commands aren’t working

#

It’s hard for me to look over a ton of different scripts and find out what’s going on, it’d be easier for me to just rewrite the whole thing

Right, but it’s more of a blog documenting what you’re making than something we can jump in and give an answer for

nova prawn Jul 16, 2023, 7:28 PM

as of right now I'm confused on this code I wrote. I know that I activate a "AND_01" and theres mentions of a "AND_02" but I straight up don't understand

📎 test_code.txt

Seems way over complicated to me, just simplify the script into something where you understand everything line by line

nova prawn Jul 16, 2023, 7:35 PM

#

if I write something I can understand it won't work lol @ebon panther

ebon panther Jul 16, 2023, 7:36 PM

#

Then you should write something simpler first and work your way up to your larger goal imho

#

Writing / copy pasting code you don’t understand is not a good idea

#

If there’s a single line you’re adding that you don’t understand, you could be screwing up a lot of stuff or creating some wild side effects

#

Try this, Terra

#

I'd recommend writing emevd this way, at least until you feel comfortable writing things and understanding commands at first glance

#

Justify every line you write and if you can't justify why it is there or what it is doing, delete it

nova prawn Jul 16, 2023, 8:11 PM

ebon panther Justify every line you write and if you can't justify why it is there or what it...

let me try it

@ebon panther they're all just dead now

Turn off flag 13800831 and revisit the area

I'll check it

#

@ebon panther still corpses

ebon panther Jul 16, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

Something else must be killing them then, are you killing them in any other script?

#

Or did you not fast travel or fully reload the game?

nova prawn Jul 16, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

I restart the game between saving code and stuff

ebon panther Jul 16, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

Please understand that absolutely nothing in that script will kill them unless 13800831 is on, so either some other script is setting 13800831 to ON before this runs, or something else is killing them

#

Please go to a bonfire or fast travel, their death state might be maintained in between quitting the game by their instanceids

nova prawn Jul 16, 2023, 8:23 PM

#

looked it up

#

13800831 is a common tag

#

prolly need to push they're ids up?

ebon panther Jul 16, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

No idea, you'll have to find proper unused event flags to use, I can't do that for you

I'll look in a second

@ebon panther for the most part, 2/3 bosses are alive, and active

ebon panther Jul 16, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

Whelp, poke around and compare what you have to vanilla instances of those enemies and see what’s wrong

#

Make sure the entityid for the broken enemy is unique so nothing else is interfering with your enemies

tyty @ebon panther
I've been kinda tapped out, its been a lot

ebon panther Jul 16, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

Take it easy, it’s just a hobby like cross-stitching or knitting, you mess up a few knots or tangle some strings and you take a break and come back to fix it

#

Go handle some other aspect of modding you have a better understanding of and come back to the area you are having issues with occasionally

#

It shouldn’t be anything that feels like a stress or headache imho

nova prawn Jul 16, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

@ebon panther there is literally nothing else going on in my life, this is all I am able to do besides crying and worrying, I will do this until it kills me, or I get bored.

ebon panther Jul 16, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

Honestly, I've been in this community for about a year and I would recommend against going about modding that way, at least from my personal perspective, I think that's how a lot of people burn out and give up on projects

#

Play another game, watch a show, play someone else's mod, do something in between banging your head against the wall

#

Because many other people enter this community for a week or two with very ambitious plans, go insane trying to implement it (usually start on some really cool projects) and then burn out and never come back

nova prawn Jul 16, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

ebon panther Because many other people enter this community for a week or two with very ambit...

I will prolly finish what I set out to do, mostly cus this is the hardest part
