sry for consoleing this but my question is so minor its not worth its own topic, how do u reload an empty humv 50 after its empty?
Are you looking for a script or the default process in-game?
Make sure you only run one copy of the SCP at a time (no multiple pbos or folders etc). I don't think you have to re-pack the SCP for it to work.
I only have one version of the SCP .pbo in the ArmA addons folder. How do I add/edit scripts without packing the .pbo again? Wouldn't they need to be in the .pbo in order to work correctly?
Anyway, I am having trouble getting SCP to work in SL. Nothing in my chinit.sqf is showing in the action menu, and it doesn't seem like anything works when I type it into the SCP script command prompt. I've also noticed that the exit button in the SCP command prompt doesn't work. Is my copy faulty?
I know that it is more than likely just my lack of experience. Thought it would be best to stress that.
I've searched the forums, browsed the SCP threads (pressed the print button in the threads and searched for keywords), and I know I must be overlooking something, because I see the pro's constantly stressing the answers are out there and we need to search for them. Maybe I am searching for the wrong thing. I've searched for:
- SCP
- SL
- Sahrani Life
- Scripts
- Tutorial
- Walkthrough
...and combinations of the above where applicable.
I have done some basic server-side modding in BF1942, but am new to scripts. I am trying to get SCP to work, and I am ultimately trying to get SCP to work in Sahrani Life with the additional scripts Easy_Tiger made specifically for SL. Again, I know that SCP works, so I am doing something (or many things)wrong...
UPDATE 1: Ok, I reinstalled the SCP and
it works before I screw with it. I've just noticed that
when I make the changes and re-pack the .pbo, the file size is about half what it used to be. This is when the exit button doesn't work in the SCP command prompt, and when the chinit.sqf doesn't display the scripts in the action menu.
I have been using Total Commander with the .pbo plugin. I have compared the directories, file sizes and structure and everything appears to be the same, so I don't know why there is a file size difference. Maybe Total Commander is compressing something that it shouldn't?
Should I be using another .pbo extractor/packer?UPDATE 2: Learning has occurred! After trying several .pbo programs, I figured out what was causing all of the problems. Apparently I'm
not supposed to unpack the ENTIRE .pbo if I am only going to add/edit a couple of files! I was unpacking everything, working on one or two files, then packing it all up again. Although I don't understand why that causes problems, it does. So, after thinking about what Mullah Omar said,
I used Total Commander to view the .pbo, edit the chinit.sqf file, and add the .sqs files Easy_Tiger made. After that, the scripts were right where they were supposed to be, and the exit button in the SCP command prompt worked like it should.
Unfortunately it wasn't all roses, though. The scripts I added didn't work. I literally input the code exactly as Easy_Tiger presented it into new .sqs files, and added the paths to chinit.sqf. The script options showed up in the action menu, but they didn't do anything. Is there a script format that I was supposed to put the specific code into, like some info that goes before and after the specific code, and is present in every script as their basic setup?
I perused several of the .sqs files contained within the .pbo and they are all different, and some of them are very involved, so I couldn't narrow down exactly what I am missing that way. I also looked at the BIS Wiki information about
SQS Syntax, but I didn't notice any specific mention to required code that goes before or after the specific function...
