"warning infolink not found"

[tactical_sword]

hi, I just joined to ask about a problem I am having. long story short, years ago I wanted to learn how to change JC Denton's textures in order to give him a different outfit (namely, a different shirt and coat, since I was bored of the one he always wears.) I asked on some site, it might have been dxediting, don't remember. More recently, I've tried to repeat what I did ages ago by creating a new package and custom player class. Did the making of new uc files, the ucc make, went into the game, and the changes I made worked. But there was a problem, when going onto the training and unatco island maps at the start of the game, the infolink no longer works...I've got some screenshots to show the error message that occurs instead.



also found this in DeusEx.log

You should post the code, but my crystal ball tells me you changed the BindName.

ConBindEvents() uses the BindName to load the Datalink conversations.

Set BindName to "JCDenton". Also I'm not sure if whitespaces in BindName are supported.

okay. how do I make that change to a package that's already been made? just do ucc make again? I just did it that way and it didn't make any difference.

Delete the old package you made, edit the code of myjc.uc then ucc make again.

I'd suggest just removing these from the defaultproperties:

Code: Select all

BindName="JC Denton"
TruePlayerName="JC Denton"
FamiliarName="JC Denton"
UnfamiliarName="JC Denton"

Since you're already extending to JCDentonMale, you don't need to put anything in there except the textures.

solved, thanks all. tried it out in game and...oops I got rid of his sunglasses! lol...the player class file I used was an example I got from elsewhere, just made the changes to it.
