SDT Loader question (6 Viewers)

[Zan]

I just downloaded the new Loader and I'm having some weird problems. Whenever I load a character with the "thickerassnlegs2.swf" mod, not only does the mod not load, but neither does anything for the character but the hair. No char code, no bg, no other mods. Any character without that one mod works fine. I thought maybe the thigh fix "Settings.txt" I was using got messed up, but I have the same problem with the old "thighpatch v2.mod".
Does anyone have any ideas what may be going wrong?

EDIT: Apparently if the first thing I do before loading any characters is load the thickerassnlegs2 mod, it loads (but with the weird offset it has without correction mods/settings). Curiouser and curiouser.

Those errors are the same issue AFAIK. I'll get it fixed eventually, I just don't like how it works right now.
I'll probably just implement some custom list control or whatever, but I have no idea where to start with that in AS3 so some crazy combination of nested movieclips will probably suffice.

...

I can't think about bugs at 3AM.

it is not a big issue, just wanted to make you aware of it.
i am probably one of the few people who actually use it anyway

Fixed for now.
Expect in next release.

weird problem

You know the score, upload the misbehaving files.

Here's the character folder that I noticed the problem with initially. It seems I was mistaken when I said none of the other swf's load. The masturbate mod seems to load fine, and the chubby mod loads sometimes. By which I mean if it doesn't load, I reload the char without changing anything and sometimes it loads, seemingly at random. Still though, the hair loads, but the code doesn't, the bg doesn't, and the dialogue doesn't. This is all with the latest version of the Loader, with this folder in the Mods folder and appropriately listed in Mods.txt.

And this is why I have people upload it, because they can be mislead by what they think is happening.
The Masturbate mod you're using is bugged:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
	at Masturbate_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
	at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
	at MethodInfo-1()

Use the updated one here:

I just replaced the old HerMasturbate mod with the new one, and it's still doing the same thing.

The reason I assumed it was the thickerassnlegs2 mod is that I have other chars with the same HerMasturbate mod that have no problems, and chars without it but with thickerassnlegs2 that have exactly the same problems. It may not definitely be the problem, but updating HerMasturbate definitely didn't fix it. :/

 

[ModGuy]

Well that's certainly odd, will have another look.

Some files fail because I've left out a bunch of properties and methods added in more recent loader versions. To help me add them in please do upload some misbehaving files.

Okay these are are few items that will not load in the Modder. There are actually quite a few more by Dante and by Mike but I'm not sure about more of Faceless' files yet.

Also, I've always wondered why the Modder seems stripped down. Would having it have the same features as the Loader make it break?

I mean, to test a mod out in my mind means to see how it works (or doesn't work) in different positions as well as taking screenshots for refs on the said items.

It is kind of frustrating for me as I'd like to test mods/swfs out before exporting the position for a Loader folder.

So things like mods and swfs not importing into the Modder and the time-saver shortcuts (ie screenshot, menu, etc) being stripped out doesn't make sense to me.

I guess as I am not a programmer, artist or modder I just don't understand why the Modder and Loader are separate anyway.

P.S.
But of course you made these resources for us for free so I guess I am half-frustrated with the programs and half-frustrated with my ignorrance on how to make it all work properly.

...? Fairies are working just fine for me.

Replacing the Masturbate.swf with "HerMas_v5.16a_Test.swf" fixes it.
You must have done something wrong.

The error is 100% happening in the Masturbate mod, as you can see from the previous debug log, so no other mod could possibly cause it.

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at Masturbate_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at MethodInfo-1()

Updated the modder, think it works fine now.
Cheers for the files tried one or two and it seems to work fine so I'm going to assume they all work.
Certain technical mods will still fail such as those that try to access debug functions as these do not exist in Modder yet.

Loader and Modder are separated because Modder just became a bit of a mess really.
The functionality used to be implemented together in the Loader but it was too much to consider debug usage and normal usage simultaneously as well as reserving too many shortcut keys.
It can handle the same features as the Loader but it would require me to rewrite a lot of Loader code to maintain compatibility and I can't be bothered.
Right now though I'm just focusing on adding in a bunch of reworked and null functions to fill in the gaps where a mod would expect something.
Expect in next release.


EDIT:
Released.

I've downloaded the new version of the Loader and I'm not having the issues with char code and such messing up any more. Whatever the problem with the masturbation mod was is fixed. Everything seems fixed, except thickerassnlegs2.swf is still not loading at all.

As a side note, all of the files zzaapp attached that I tried are working fine for me too.

 

[ModGuy]

Everything seems fixed, except thickerassnlegs2.swf is still not loading at all.

If the problem persists with a single mod I don't think that justifies the implementation of a fix.
Have the modder do something about it because outdated code that uses objects or methods that no longer exist aren't really worth fixing internally.

Thanks for the update and the info above. Makes sense. Heck, I'd code it if I could actually code. But I can't so I mooch and then mess around with the modder/loader like a bull in a china-shop.

been looking into the animtool ..

when trying to use the targettween stuff (mapped to keys 1,2,3,4), i can't seem to find the key to stop changing the location.

i believe the key is:

Spoiler

case 223 :
targTween = null;
break;

i would change the value myself, but i am not sure how to go about compiling just that actionscrit.
anyway, what key is that, or better yet, how do i 'place' the targettween after pressing 1,2,3 or 4?

 

[ModGuy]

I'd code it if I could actually code

You shouldn't really get away with saying something like that, most users here were completely new to AS3 programming before creating some basic stuff for SDT/Loader.
Well whatever, nice gesture.
You might want to remove the attachments from your previous post, they look messy.

I wouldn't bother asking questions about animtool, it's just a bunch of experiments that I never really did anything with.

 

[sby]

some very good experiments though. i put it in a project file, turns out pretty simple to compile now xD.

i tried it out with an older loader, i think it is certainly promising. i will most likely try to rig something up with it as a mod.

Looks like you never went 5.17c ^_^

It was almost as if I avoided it on purpose.

Had me nervous, looked like you were aiming specifically for it. Glad I don't have to commit to writing a new tutorial

 

[elwood288]

when will a new loader be posted? I cant get this one to work because it hasnt updated for the newest ver of sdt

Loader updates when it's worth updating, I don't really follow SDT versions.
I do however update the SDT before release to make sure it works.
I know, lazy of me. I'll see if I can upload something tonight.

EDIT:
Updated.

 

[elwood288]

still isnt working for 1.20.1b

to be specific the problem wher loading a mod makes another mod disappear happens making it impossible to use more than one mod at a time
