Code: Select all
r_item_name "Iron Buckler"
r_item_icon "items/ironbuckler"
r_item_mdl "tentus/moneybag"
r_item_description "A small very light shield. Hardly slows you down at all."
r_item_use_new_armour // 0
r_item_use_name "Iron Buckler"
r_item_use_description "Weaker, but lighter than other shields."
r_item_use_new_status 5 1
r_item_use_slots (| $SLOT_LHAND)
r_item_use_skill $SKILL_ARMOUR
Code: Select all
\\base shield status for iolar
r_status_friendly 1
r_status_addgeneric $STATUS_PIERCE_R 1 -1
r_status_addgeneric $STATUS_BLUNT_R 1 -1
r_status_addgeneric $STATUS_SLASH_R 1 -1
r_status_addgeneric $STATUS_MOVE 1 -1
First one is my shields item code and second is it's status. The game says I put something in item_use that is incorrect. It's not specific and dosn't exactly help to find the problem. Do you know what I did wrong?

Looks right to me, though you'll probably want to change the invocation of r_item_use_new_status to the following so it follows the "status element multiplier" rule.
Code: Select all
r_item_use_new_status 5 $ATTACK_NONE 1
I only have 2 ideas right now for what's wrong.
1) the status group is not in 5.cfg
2) you're not using 2.7.1 or newer

Says I', trying to set an unavailable use property. And my pierce/blunt/slash resistance didn't increase.

I see... That's just the HUD.
I'll make a fix for that later today.
I'm not getting the resistances to increase either, this warrants further investigation, I'll let you know what I find later today as well.
EDIT: I just remembered, the GUI currently doesn't show that information.. I'll fix the HUD ater anyway

you should see a line in hud_standard.cfg that looks like this
Code: Select all
if (&& (>= (r_item_use_type_get) $USE_WEAPON) (r_item_use_cost_get)) [
Change it to this
Code: Select all
if (&& (>= (r_item_use_type_get) $USE_WEAPON) [r_item_use_cost_get]) [
You're right though, the status changes weren't taking effect properly... well they were but they were reset after the character entity's update cycle.
This isn't a huge problem though, as incoming damage and stuff is queued for your update cycle and they won't take effect until after the deltas have been properly updated.
so.. in effect it just meant the wrong values were reported... (unless your spells affect hp/mana regen)
Thanks for the reports, I've fixed both in SVN.
EDIT:
if the latter's a huge issue, open rpgchar.cpp and look inside the update() function. move the following which you'll find at the very end
up several lines and put it right before "loopv(equipped)", ie
Code: Select all
//handle equipment
equipment *eleft = NULL, //primary
*eright = NULL, //secondary
*quiver = NULL;
base.resetdeltas();
loopv(equipped)

So basically, the armor dosn't have an effect until you are hit? That's not a problem, as long as the armor works.
