how does one change the name of the "use item" button when clicking on an item, such as when you can "mount" the horse. Oh, i see you can feed it too. thats 2 custom buttons.
also, how do you edit the "details" button for items?
thanks

sets the text to replace 'Use Item'.
replaces the 'details' button.
When doing the latter on an item, you then need to script the response to that button press in an "ItemDetails" event.
e.g. If your item 4 is water, you might do something like..
then to your script add
Code: Select all
Event( "ItemDetails", "Water" )
{
*msg %PLAYER% You sprinkled the water on the ground
*grantitem %PLAYER% -1 Water
}
For more details see the thread here :

The event
Event("ItemDetails","Clay")
{
*msg %player% Take this clay to a ceramics studio so it can be fired into bricks or bottles.
}
doesn't appear to do anything when i go in the game and click on the details button.

also, I noticed that the buttons I renamed (like use item, and itemdetails) have all reverted into their default button name. perhaps this could be a clue? I'm pretty sure I always run things as administrator. it happened after the galaxy went offline last night... (lemme check n see if there's an update)
nope, no update. well I'm stumped.

Still trying to figure out whats going wrong.
Checked my namesfile and it shows all the changes I made to the itembuttons, yet they still don't register in game. funny thing was, it worked for a few days, through server restarts and everything. but mysteriously stopped working.
Here's a sample of some of the text in my names file:
(null),234= Weild
(null),235= Party
(null),236= Unveil
(null),237= Unveil
(null),238= Unveil
(null),239= Unveil
(null),241= Read Map
(null),242= Drink
(null),243= Read Map
(null),244= Weild
(null),245= Read Map
(null),246= Read Map
(null),247= Pray
(null),253= Eat
(null),58= Dress
(null),59= Dress
(null),60= Dress
(null),61= Dress
(null),62= Weild

is that (null) supposed to be there?
I haven't tried messing with it yet, but it doesn't look right to me.

you wouldn't happen to have 2 different server EXEs in the folder, do you?
If so, maybe the wrong one is being opened and breaking it.

Ok, so after some testing, i discovered that if you dont set the command *itemdetailstext, it wont acknowledge the itemdetails event in the script.
the only thing i dont understand is why my namesfile lost the information i set. but I am continuing forward.

Bad news: Namesfile mysteriously got chopped again.
good news: I have a backup saved this time.
Anyone have any clues as to whats happening?

I think there's a problem with the buildings editor. When i open the buildings editor, I get an error. then i try again, it opens. then i restart my server, itemslist chopped.

using the 63.2 buildings editor?
I just opened zoric's bdat and saved it and the namesfile still reflects the changes I made when testing the stuff earlier.
