Edit: I reread the post and saw where you get the error. Im headed to work, and will check it out this evening for you. For nor, i can only suggest to double check the spelling/syntax on the SE's you placed to make sure they are exactly correct. And place the onDraw hook at the END of the init. If those are both okay, let me know and ill be around in 7 or 8 hrs and run through it with you
I may need to put the script in a sample dungeon.dat file, so it can be copy/pasted from there, in case taking it from wordpad is causing any syntax malfunctions during transposition. A new, niftier version will be released in the next couple of days, and in that version, i will put the script in a dungeon.dat SE. You are getting the error when another script adds a line to the journal, yes?

Also be sure that any line you try to add to the journal has quotations " 's before and after, like a hudprint. It needs to create a string out of it.

I have my line
Code: Select all
elseif count == 0 then
dungeon_door_wooden_11:open()
mdConversationList:addItem("The party found themselves in Steeprock Old Towne.")
end
I have my init.lua
Code: Select all

cloneObject{
name = "party",
baseObject = "party",
onDrawGui = function(ctx)
mdConversationList.onDraw(ctx)
end,
onDie = function(deadPlayer)
knocked_out_script.knockedOut()
end,
}
Only thing I did here was copy my onDie hook and added a comma at the end of your onDraw hook
I have a script entity named mdConversationList
The error has to do with concatenation a table value.

You are using it correctly, the scripts are fine
Try placing the onDraw hook very last in the init, I had to place it after an onMove hook i use, it would not work when placed before. (And it broke the onMove). If you still get the error, a newer version will be released in the next couple of days, and it will have extended features. You are using it correctly, so at worst, remove it and install the new version. I am interested to see how you end up using it!

You should use a dot before addItem, not a : sign of which I don't remember the name
sent from phone - I'll expand later

Just a little thing I came up with (took 2 hours to get it right, pathetic I know).
Place a script entity in your mod and name it time_played_conversion
put the following code in,
Code: Select all
-- convert seconds to hour minute format
function timeConversion()
local time_played = getStatistic("play_time")
local hours = 0
local minutes = 0
local seconds = 0
hours = math.floor(time_played / 3600)
minutes = math.floor((time_played - (hours * 3600))/60)
seconds = math.floor(time_played - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60))
local total_time = ("Journal time: "..hours.." Hours, "..minutes.." Minutes, "..seconds.." Seconds.")
return total_time
end
and substitute the line
mdConversationList.addItem(getStatistic("play_time"))
with these two lines
Code: Select all
local total_time = time_played_conversion.timeConversion(total_time)
mdConversationList.addItem(""..total_time)
and you no longer get a big huge number of seconds, but an hour / minute display.
