Quote from: TwinkleToes on 25 Aug, 2015 20:57you could possibly use retimer to extend that animation to last for longer, or break it up into a starting animation and a looping animation, which could be too much work.I could probably use Retimer to make the loop animation from the normal, and see how it works. If it still doesn't quite look right, I could make a specific start animation (specifically using Retimer).Of course, Retimer would need to work in my locale for it to be worthwhile to use (those pesky floating point separators, anyway); otherwise, I'd simply have to do it manually. It'll probably take about as much time for the developers to find the locale issue and fix it as it would take for me to change all those animation values separately.

Quote from: Kva3imoda on 25 Aug, 2015 20:24You must use a point in  Format Float "0.######"...And you do not need more than 5# in Format Float. 0.00001 = 10 nanoseconds.Made sure it had a point there (it does). I only adjusted the float format to six places because the animation had six places, so I erroneously thought it might fix the error.Quote from: Kva3imoda on 25 Aug, 2015 20:24Here there are some problems in the encodings in different languages. In Russia we always use a comma for Float.Ah. Assuming this is a C# program (it looks like it easily could be), there should be some locale settings that Microsoft provides that (theoretically) should prevent the need for hardcoded commas. I haven't used them ever, so I don't know how good they are, but I know they exist.If its not a C# program (it doesn't appear to have a managed assembly, so I still don't know), there might be locale wrappers somewhere by someone, depending on the language used, but I know even less at that point.

Nope, it didn't change it .The animation should be the stock animation, but I'll put it here just in case (and the XML of it, too).

Hmm... when I use this tool on the Bloatfang Boss's Special_Eat animation, I get an error saying Code: [Select]'0,16667' is not a valid floating point value.I set the Format Float to "0.######" (six pound signs instead of the default five) and tried * and / by 2 for the action. All attempts produced the same error.When I searched the XML file (using Notepad++) for an instance of "0,", it failed to find any; the comma is likely arising somewhere in the code.EDIT: The program crashes whenever it tries to handle a floating point number (somehow it seems to be converting decimals to commas).

I just noticed this when I went to go fetch some tools for a solution to my forum question (at this time the first and only, but probably not for long ). I logged in to the Torchmodders forum directly, so the main page and wiki do not have me authenticated.Then I authenticated on the main page and got this error upon entry to the wiki:Code: [Select]Warning: mdecrypt_generic() [function.mdecrypt-generic]: An empty string was passed in /home/torchlig/public_html/torchmodders.com/wiki/inc/phpseclib/Crypt_Base.php on line 915Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/torchlig/public_html/torchmodders.com/wiki/inc/phpseclib/Crypt_Base.php:915) in /home/torchlig/public_html/torchmodders.com/wiki/inc/auth.php on line 542Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/torchlig/public_html/torchmodders.com/wiki/inc/phpseclib/Crypt_Base.php:915) in /home/torchlig/public_html/torchmodders.com/wiki/inc/actions.php on line 217My guess would be this is something related to Single Sign-On, but I'm not 100% sure.Also, those error messages look quite revealing. I see a Linux box, for one, is running this site. Those errors should be kept to a log (I'd assume they are already) and a user-friendly version should be output to the screen that doesn't tell me the username of the Linux server running this.

I lightly edited this so it didn't have unit types that don't exist outside my experimentation mod, so it should work out of the box (I think).The intent was to make the Bloatfang Boss damage the player and heal itself by "eating" the player (damaging, not fully eating, but, well, close enough). It was intended for practice/learning more than anything, so its not balanced at all (just the scale effect by itself makes the skill become ridiculous; the boss becomes unreasonably big and hard to target).Last I checked, the damage and healing both didn't work, but that's something I'll address once I get the animation and timing to work right.Code: [Select][SKILL] <STRING>NAME:BloatFang_Heal_Eat_Player <STRING>SKILL_TYPE:OFFENSIVE <STRING>ACTIVATION_TYPE:NORMAL <STRING>TARGET_ALIGNMENT:EVIL <STRING>TARGET_UNITTYPE:PLAYER <STRING>ANIMATION:Special_Eat <STRING>ANIMATIONLOOP:Special_Eat <FLOAT>RANDOMRANGE:0 <FLOAT>RANGE:0.5 <FLOAT>TARGETRANGE:10 <BOOL>REQUIRES_TARGET:1 <BOOL>DONT_TARGET_SMASHABLES:1 <BOOL>STOP_ON_TARGET_DEATH:1 <FLOAT>SPEED:2 <BOOL>CONTINUOUSLOOPING:1 <BOOL>IGNORES_CAST_SPEED:1 <INTEGER>COOLDOWNMS:1200 <FLOAT>FINDTARGETANGLE:360 <INTEGER>DURATIONOVERRIDEMS:1440 <FLOAT>TURNRATEOVERRIDE:-1 <BOOL>INTERRUPTABLE:1 <BOOL>CAN_BE_SILENCED:0 <BOOL>STOPSWHENOUTOFRANGE:1 <STRING>TARGET:TARGET <INTEGER64>UNIQUE_GUID:2670047190211345000 [TARGET_SPECIFIC_UNITS] <STRING>UNIT:HUM_ARBITER_F <STRING>UNIT:HUM_ARBITER_M <STRING>UNIT:HUM_BERSERKER_BASE <STRING>UNIT:HUM_BERSERKER_F <STRING>UNIT:HUM_BERSERKER_M <STRING>UNIT:HUM_ENGINEER_BASE <STRING>UNIT:HUM_ENGINEER_F <STRING>UNIT:HUM_ENGINEER_M <STRING>UNIT:HUM_WANDERER_BASE <STRING>UNIT:HUM_WANDERER_F <STRING>UNIT:HUM_WANDERER_M [/TARGET_SPECIFIC_UNITS] [EVENT_START] <STRING>FILE:media/skills/monsters/boss_bloatfang/consume_start.layout <BOOL>PLACEONTARGET:1 <BOOL>DAMAGESHAPES_HIT_ONCE:1 <BOOL>APPLYEFFECTS:1 [/EVENT_START] [EVENT_TRIGGER] <BOOL>NODAMAGEREFLECTION:1 <BOOL>PLACEONTARGET:1 <BOOL>DAMAGESHAPES_HIT_ONCE:1 <BOOL>APPLYEFFECTS:1 <BOOL>APPLYEFFECTSALWAYS:1 [EFFECTS] <STRING>TARGET:ENEMY [EFFECT] <STRING>NAME:Slow <STRING>ACTIVATION:DYNAMIC <STRING>DURATION:1.4 <STRING>TYPE:PERCENT SPEED <BOOL>EXCLUSIVE:TRUE <FLOAT>MIN:-100 <FLOAT>MAX:-100 [/EFFECT] [EFFECT] <STRING>NAME:Damage <STRING>ACTIVATION:DYNAMIC <STRING>DURATION:1.45 <STRING>TYPE:DAMAGE <STRING>DAMAGE_TYPE:POISON <BOOL>EXCLUSIVE:TRUE <FLOAT>SOAKSCALE:0 <FLOAT>MIN:100 <FLOAT>MAX:600 <FLOAT>MINFORCE:0 <FLOAT>MAXFORCE:0 [/EFFECT] [/EFFECTS] [/EVENT_TRIGGER] [EVENT_TRIGGER_TWO] <STRING>FILE:media/skills/monsters/boss_bloatfang/consume.layout <BOOL>NODAMAGEREFLECTION:1 <BOOL>PLACEONTARGET:1 <BOOL>DAMAGESHAPES_HIT_ONCE:1 <BOOL>APPLYEFFECTS:1 [EFFECTS] <STRING>TARGET:SELF [EFFECT] <STRING>ACTIVATION:DYNAMIC <STRING>DURATION:ALWAYS <STRING>TYPE:PERCENT HP <BOOL>SAVE:true <FLOAT>MIN:2 <FLOAT>MAX:2 [/EFFECT] [EFFECT] <STRING>NAME:Heal_Effect <STRING>ACTIVATION:DYNAMIC <STRING>DURATION:.5 <STRING>TYPE:HP RECHARGE <STRING>PARTICLE_FX:media/particles/events/BigHealthBonus.Layout <BOOL>SAVE:true <FLOAT>MIN:100 <FLOAT>MAX:600 <FLOAT>MINFORCE:0 <FLOAT>MAXFORCE:0 [/EFFECT] [EFFECT] <STRING>NAME:SCALE_EFFECT2 <STRING>ACTIVATION:PASSIVE <STRING>DURATION:ALWAYS <STRING>TYPE:SCALE <BOOL>SAVE:true <BOOL>EXCLUSIVE:true <FLOAT>STARTSCALE:1 <FLOAT>ENDSCALE:1.001 <FLOAT>TIMETOSCALE:0.1 <FLOAT>TIMETOSCALEBACK:0.1 [/EFFECT] [EFFECT] <STRING>NAME:SCALE_EFFECT1 <STRING>ACTIVATION:PASSIVE <STRING>DURATION:ALWAYS <STRING>TYPE:SCALE <BOOL>SAVE:true <FLOAT>STARTSCALE:0 <FLOAT>ENDSCALE:0.001 <FLOAT>TIMETOSCALE:0.1 <FLOAT>TIMETOSCALEBACK:0.1 [/EFFECT] [EFFECT] <STRING>ACTIVATION:DYNAMIC <STRING>DURATION:ALWAYS <STRING>TYPE:DAMAGE BONUS <BOOL>SAVE:true <FLOAT>MIN:10 <FLOAT>MAX:10 [/EFFECT] [/EFFECTS] [/EVENT_TRIGGER_TWO][/SKILL]

Wow. I don't think I've ever had this quick and thorough a solution to my forum questions anywhere. I thank you for your promptness.In the meantime, I've downloaded Retimer, but I'm not booted into Windows at the moment, so I'll give that a whirl later (hopefully later today). It sounds as though it will ease numerous processes involved with modding, so I expect it to do great things.

I was trying to make a monster skill that loops its effect if the target (player) is still within range. The animation speed is set to 2.When I test the skill (both in-game and in-editor), the skill animation proceeds at speed 2 for the first iteration of the skill, but each subsequent iteration operates at speed 1 (which affects the timing of various effects within the skills that otherwise work properly).Is there a way to make all iterations of a looping skill operate at the same animation speed?Using Code: [Select]<FLOAT>SPEED:2 in the main section of the skill produces the above issue. I've looked at numerous tutorials, forum posts, etc. and not seen any that explain my issue (or even mention looping skills, for that matter).
