Configurations

[Dawsonsa]

Hey, wondering if u can give some guidance on configurations , I know how to do the 1 simple one from giants but I want to use the add configuration script, I got a mod that already had it working ect and in the coding all I changed was the keyword so instead of bar it said plate , to name it but it completely broke the mod lol, was wondering why it’s not working? Cheers!

I have not used the configuration script itself I have only added config options used in default equipment. I will point someone here that is familiar with it. 
Sorry for the delay. I keep urging individuals to use this forum however we are all stuck in our comfort zone of using discord.

Even though I’m not familiar I may be able to look at the lines you edited and see if I see an issue. Either copy the lines here or share the mod in a private message and I can always take a look. That and looking at your log would be a start as well.

did you change the word in the vehicle xml or in moddesc/<l10n> ? 

[bdbssb]

Good question 

[MkM]

Wumpscut here btw bdbssb 😉

the quick and dirty change that would not messup anything would be in the <l10n> for the config  name itself , lets see if i can explain with a example

so i have a edit of the cherry smartbox and have the addconfig script in that one.

In this example the addConfig script by Ifko[nator] was used for personal use and as always if you want a release a mod to the public then make sure you get the approval from the creator.

parts in moddesc:

    <specializations>
        <specialization name="addConfig" className="AddConfig" filename="specializations/AddConfig.lua"/>
    </specializations>
    
    <vehicleTypes>
        <type name="cherryBox" parent="implement" filename="$dataS/scripts/vehicles/Vehicle.lua">
            <specialization name="addConfig"/>
        </type> 
    </vehicleTypes>
    
    <newConfigurations>
        <newConfiguration configName="smartBoxDesign" isColorConfig="false" />
        <newConfiguration configName="smartBoxWeight" isColorConfig="false" />
    </newConfigurations>

i use a separate file   for the  l10n but can ofcorse be in moddesc directly

 

<l10n>
    <annotation></annotation>

    <texts>
    
        <text name="configuration_smartBoxDesign"                     text="Smartbox Design" />
        <text name="configuration_claas"                              text="CLAAS" />
        <text name="configuration_cherry"                              text="CHERRY" />
        
        <text name="configuration_smartBoxWeight"                     text="Smartbox Weight" />
        <text name="configuration_smartBoxWeight1600"                 text="Weight: 1600kg" />
        <text name="configuration_smartBoxWeight1800"                 text="Weight: 1800kg" />
        <text name="configuration_smartBoxWeight2000"                 text="Weight: 2000kg" />
        <text name="configuration_smartBoxWeight2200"                 text="Weight: 2200kg" />
        <text name="configuration_smartBoxWeight2400"                 text="Weight: 2400kg" />


    </texts>
</l10n>

and last the vehicle xml part (yeah i was to lazy to make a new smaller example )

Ok now when when have all the part to make it work lets say i wanted the menu in the shop say Cherry Design instead of smartbox design i would just change this line in l10n

<text name="configuration_smartBoxDesign"                     text="Smartbox Design" />

to

<text name="configuration_smartBoxDesign"                     text="Cherry Design" />

and that is applicable on all parts referenced in  l10n, you can change everting to have a new name but that can be a lot of work and really not needed as long you don't lose track of what is what 😉

but if i changed in viehcle xml what would happen ?

well if something changed there that have connection to moddesc/l10n it would break if not also changed in there
