Title: Extended Version v1.5.9 - mod for KS & Level Editor
Post by: GrayFace on October 31, 2010, 21:33:11
Here is my mod for KS: https://sites.google.com/site/sergroj/ks
Extract it into your KS folder. You'll also find 3 levels on the page. The first is just an example level with comments in the script, GrayFace - Ball Tutorial (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=4741) is a real level introducing the bouncing ball game mode and Platforms Room (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=5652) is a little test chamber with falling platforms.

1. First, changes that may be helpful for any player:


To use bouncing ball mode in a regular level, press Ctrl+Shift+C, then press Space+B. 8) I've finished all Nifflas' levels in this mode, they were much harder than usually.
Spoiler: Ball Controls (click to show/hide)

2. Now, changes that level designers can take advantage of:


With Lua scripts you can make a lot of things, even completely new game modes, as demonstrated by the BouncingBallMode.
Play through the example level, then go to its folder and open Script.lua file. That's what powers all the unusual stuff.
Information on Lua can be found at http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/ and http://www.lua.org/pil/
Information on XLua interfaces can be found here: https://sites.google.com/site/sergroj/ks/XLuaInterfaces.rar?attredirects=0&d=1
Yet, I haven't done any documentation on my stuff, so feel free to ask.

The simplest thing to do is to add BouncingBallMode() line into your Script.lua to make a level played with a ball. Here are some other similar one-liners that may help you:
Code: [Select]
FixCutscenes = trueLets you use cutscenes that don't autosave, but don't reset to the last save point.
Code: [Select]
LoadGhostsWhenEyeIsTaken = trueWhen the Eye is taken, ghosts would immediately show up. You'll also need to set "NeedObjects = true".
Code: [Select]
NoWalkOnAir()Animals would respect platform edges and won't walk on air anymore. This includes ground-walking enemies.
Code: [Select]
NoFishInWalls()Fish won't swim through walls.
Code: [Select]
NoLoadScreenDelay = trueThis would remove the 1 tick delay that happens after screen tiles are rendered, but before objects are created. However, in object-intensive screens combined time to load tiles and objects becomes too big, so you may want to turn it on and off in BeforeLoadScreen event.

Gave this a very quick look (very late here), nice what you made out of this :)

"Bug fixed: If Tileset B was selected and the tile (0,0) of tileset was in selection, Tileset A was used instead for painting."
From what I recall that's not a bug. 0,0 is always empty, you should write a 0 value to the data file in that case.

Not with a rectangular selection :) I've changed the description of bug in the 1st post, so now it should be a bit clearer. In fact, in flood fill it was the opposite - 128 was written for (0, 0) of B, although I never checked the actual file and there's no other way to tell the difference.

I've found a bad bug caused by my recent change of signs. Sometimes signs stop updating, always showing the same message. It's not easy to reproduce, so I wasn't able to fix it yet. Game restart fixes this when the bug happens (F2 should be enough).

It first triggers X warp on this screen, then Y warp on the screen to which X warp has lead. Before the fix it just added the deltas of two warps together resulting in a totally wrong screen. And I've just realized I haven't completely fixed this in v1.1.

Doesn't seem horrible to me. It's MMF2, after all.
The horrible thing is my extension, which is basically a slightly modified extension template. It does its thing well, but from MMF2 it looks similar to the template. So, for example, a check that the window has focus looks like this: "Condition example: 0 + 0 = 0" :D

I just heard you are still working on this. I finally tried it out a short while ago, and I was really impressed with the capabilities. However, I don't think it'll see much use without a manual. Also, I was wondering if the level editor could be used to make normal KS 1.2.1 levels. The auto-reloading of the World.ini sounds extremely helpful.
Title: Re: Extended Version v1.1.2 - mod for KS & Level Editor
Post by: GrayFace on April 15, 2011, 10:32:47
Yes, it creates normal 1.2.1 levels, but the uploaded version is still buggy, because the world.ini editor kicks in here and there. The new version will be out as soon as I fix diagonal scrolling (yes, it still works incorrectly) and a small bug in the editor.
It would be cool to have a manual, but I'm too lazy to write it.

Meanwhile I'm thinking of which Video Games Nerd quote would be appropriate to describe working with MMF.
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3821/mmfi.png) (http://img29.imageshack.us/i/mmfi.png/)
As expected, nothing works right and "Number of <> 0" is triggered. Can anyone tell me how to destroy objects so that they are actually destroyed? :sick: My only guess so far is that destroying is deferred until the frame ends.
Edit: I've settled with a work-around.

MMF has so many hidden quirks it's a wonder anything worthwhile can be made with it. When I read through Nifflas' code I can see that he's learning and improving as he goes, and considering how difficult MMF is to work with he probably could have learned game making in C++ from zero knowledge in half the time. Then I think, now I'm learning MMF to make mods of Nifflas' games when I ought to be learning something more valuable.[/rant]
Title: Re: Extended Version v1.1.2 - mod for KS & Level Editor
Post by: GrayFace on April 15, 2011, 22:51:09
I feel the same. The real problem isn't learning, but developing a big application without any ways to compare two versions, find&replace stuff, no real debug etc. When I was making the first version of KS Ex I had one bug for which the cause was completely unclear. To fix it I had to look at my modifications and do them in Nifflas' unmodified sources, even copying was impossible at places where groups are activated/deactivated. I still don't know what caused the bug, because after I've copied everything I wanted it just worked.
As for learning MMF, it's an interesting experience, I feel good about having spent my time on it.

Sure, I've stolen the idea of scrollable signs from you BTW.
Back then I did experiments with changing appearance of things using custom objects and it worked fine, but the custom objects was late by one frame. After adding a callback at the very end of frame cycle

In the new version the only bug I'm aware of is a minor graphical glitch that happens with tilesets with transparent bottom line. Also, the "Level -> Script" didn't work for me one day, but I couldn't reproduce it today.

I've forgot about an important change in the editor:

Now I've added it to my posts.

... I'll try to create an object called something like 'ZZZZ' and place the callback in it. ...

The last object created is the first object to execute commands. So, if you create an object at start of frame --attach it to an object bar in the frame editor-- it will execute it's behaviors after all of the rendered objects execute theirs, afaik.

On the subject of stealing ideas, I was inspired by your no-fish-in-walls concept and put it in my mod. The play button in the install dialogue, I thought it would take you directly to the newly installed level. I now know it just takes you to the level selection menu, and I think you said you got the idea from Bloxmaster, but I want to steal what I originally thought it did. Bwahaha!

Post by: GrayFace on April 28, 2011, 14:15:50
Turns out my assumption was right. Behaviors are executed on all object 'classes' and probably in order of creation of those 'classes'. When I added the behavior to the last of my new objects it worked. The synchronization of graphics is still not perfect, because the animation is done after all behaviors are done, so custom object is displayed in the right place, but is late by one frame.

Interesting.

I found this quote on the Click Team site
Quote from: Yves
It's an internal order (it's sometimes the creation order, but it's usually different if you have deleted objects and created new ones).

Well, that's clear as mud. I think "created" means "added to the frame", not "spawned at runtime". Anyway, kudos for working it out in your mod. I doubt one frame will be noticeable, especially if position is accurate.

Thanks, that makes it clear. In case an object is deleted, the next one created would probably take its place.

When "Extended Version Objects" is ticked (not sure if that's the right word, I mean when there is a V), it seems like the extra objects disappear, and when it is not ticked, the objects appear in the list. That should probably be the other way around.

Sorry, my bad, It was from another mod, everything is alright then.

How does the screenshot thing work? Where are they saved?
I would really like to have a feature to easily take screenshots of one or more screens without Juni in them, it would be really useful for me.

Again thank you for the amazing work :)

EDIT: I'm still getting an unusually high level of CPU usage, every now and then, even when it's just there in the background, the editor starts using 50% of the CPU (probably because this is a dual core and it can only use one core).

I have the same problem with Looki's Level Editor Mod. My guess is it's a behavior from the original editor. It would be nice if the whole program paused itself when it lost focus.

To answer Raicuparta's question, I don't think the mods can be merged. We've both changed the game engine in very different ways. It would probably take as much work to join them as either of us have put in already. More importantly we're going in different directions. GrayFace's mod focuses on Lua scripting and alternate modes of play, like ball mode. Mine relies on ini instructions and built-in objects, like collectibles. To put it another way, his is powerful, mine is simple. I'm not saying you can't have both in one mod, but it would require an awesome level editor.

I have considered making a World.ini editor similar to the 3rd Party Tools. Don't know if it will happen though.

Thanks for clarifying.
And I'd love to see that World.ini editor happen, right now it is pretty much preferable to edit the ini directly, at least for me.

Howdy,

I installed 1.4.1 and the game works fine, but if I try to edit/view the screen info in Third Party Tools / Knytt Stories Manager (current screen), none of the page info (shifts, etc.) show up.  Now I realize that it's in script.lua.  Where can I get a tutorial on how to use the programming language?  Is a point and shoot interface in the works?  I still haven't completely mastered world.ini and objects (especially animated), etc.  There are several references on the web which have helped me, but this new script is Greek to me.

@ peterarev: Everything is working fine for me, and your installation sounds correct. (The Knytt Stories.exe and Knytt Stories Ex.exe should be in the same folder.) I have two questions. Does the manager work any differently when launched from the normal level editor? Do you realize all the fields will be blank until you select something?

If the manager doesn't work from the normal level editor, then the most likely culprit is that your directory address is too long. The manager can't digest long addresses. Try moving your entire Knytt Stories folder to a location like c:\Games\.

See my post again.  I edited it for the second time as I get the jist of 1.4.1.  Thanks for the coaching.  I'm pretty good with the Editor and just expected it to work with script.lua which it doesn't.  Is there a repository somewhere for Levels that take advantage of 1.4.1?  I could learn a lot by comparing script.lua to the screens and behaviors.

This thread (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=5133.0) lists levels made for all the Knytt Stories mods. I can't help you with the script.lua. I believe there are resources on GrayFace's site, the place you got the mod from.

My site does contain 2 levels with scripts, but that's about it. Writing Help is too much work. I prefer consulting people about things they want to do.

3rd Party Tools - Run Knytt Stories doesn't seem to be working. Actually a good thing for me, since I accidentally click that way too often, but thought I should report it.
It will work in 1.5 >) I added it in 1.4 or 1.4.1, but forgot to implement the functionality.

After considering for quite a long time, I've decided to port my currently in progress level to this mod (I have been using the better editor for a long time but now the level will actually require the mod), which will actually give me a lot more work but at least I'll get rid of tons of awkward workarounds and unnecessary screens.
What I'm saying is, you can hope a few questions to pop in here from time to time, I hope you don't mind :P
The first one is: is there a way to bind a different key to scroll the signs? Pg up and Pg down are ancient keys that no one uses anymore, I bet there are people who actually don't know what they are and would have to look for them in the keyboard.

Post by: egomassive on April 20, 2012, 12:38:17
We've discussed linking to each others mods from the level selection screen*. I've now implemented that function, but where should the links point? For upgrading, Nifflas linked to a redirect.php on his website. This would probably be a good method for us, but only as long as we keep our sites up for all eternity. I originally planned to read the links from the settings.ini because that would allow the easiest method for updating the links. The problem with that is it's too easy for someone to abuse, redistributing with malicious addresses.

What are your thoughts?

*For people who are not GrayFace: In the same way that KS provides a link to Upgrade if the version you're using is outdated for the level you're trying to play, our mods are going to provide links to each other if the level you're trying to play is built for the other.

Yes, if you uncheck Screen -> Extended Version Objects, you'll only see standard objects and objects of other mods if there are any (their objects are hidden in Extended Version Objects mode).

Hooray, I found the way to make it zoom without much trouble! It's surprisingly simple. Well, not in pure MMF, but with some WinAPI.
This technique may also help solve issues with full-screen in Night Sky.
Edit: I already love to play fullscreen in native resolution (1280x1024 for me). Now I can make zoom option for the editor too.

 I've shifted my abnormally complicated game to every mod since the beginning, this one is the one that will make it happen. You are a fantastic dude. I can hardly wait for the native resolution and the level-editor's adjacent screen previews. But no hurry man. (yes hurry, haha)

 I drew you a picture of Juni trying to script her own game. She is not very good at it.

(http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mckv53Lvzx1rxu9xfo1_1280.png)

 I was wondering though... is there a glossary of the various game-specific functions and parameters you're messing with in the scripts?

 I barely understand scripting as it is, but after me and a programmer buddy read all the lua scripts in the level and for the monsters and current effects, some of them look like you'd need to know some engine-specific variables and function calls to affect certain changes. I was wondering if you had a list of them that you used, or be willing to post in one of your threads?

 Also, I have a very minimal understanding of programming, so ignore what i said if it doesn't make any sense. :P

Awesome :) 2 things left before I can release the new version are the example level and ReadMe updates. There are more things I wanted to do, but they can wait.
Writing help is a hard task that I decided not to do. With the small number of KS Ex users it's easier to help individually with particular scripts. Also with what is possible and what isn't (most things are possible :)). Most functions and variables can be found in Data\Lua\main.lua and some in Data\Lua\Functions.lua. Search for "local ObjectProps" in main.lua - these are 2 variables common for most objects. Then there go variables specific to various objects. These variables are used like "o.Permanent = 1".

 Flawless! I'm honored you used the picture I made in the demo level, and then demonstrated how to move an image in a makeshift cutscene in the script. That's going to be very useful for me when I can figure out how you did it.

 Native resolution is crystal clear, and was such a good idea. And the biggest help is that resolution-changer for the editor. Sprite based projects always did needed some kind of a zoom for the building process.

 Question: ScreenScrollDetectionDelta. I can't find a solid definition on what that is.

 I suppose the only thing you need to add now if you're still interested in doing more, is a way to help all of us laymen figure out all the basic scripting in this game so we can more fully appreciate what you've done here. Maybe add some heavier notation to your scripts to break things down more. (Took me a day to be sure of what hotspotX and Y were used for, hahaha.)

 No pressure. You've done one hell of a lot already.

KS didn't move you to a new screen when you're at x=600 or y=240, that is one pixel outside of the playing frame. I've fixed this, but than discovered that in Gaia this changed gameplay in one place a bit. There was layer 3 grass on one screen and the Juni got stuck in a bit due to the change. Thus, this became an option.

 Speak of the devil, I'm almost up to a bossfight and would consider a scripting crash-course to be highly helpful. Better hurry up and plan it out, though.

 I also think I found a bug...

 If you try to flood-fill a single tile (Shift+click) in the editor, you cannot use tiles from tileset B. It will use the identical selected position from tileset A and flood fill that tile instead.

 Also, when selecting multiple tiles to stamp, then shift+clicking that range of tiles for a flood fill, the top left tile is always from tileset A.

How come Avira recognizes the editor as a virus? I tried to exclude it but it still detects the editor whenever I open it up.

Also, what are the standard sounds? Does it include walking, jumping and climbing sounds? I was thinking if I should just use your mod for my levels.

Title: Re: Extended Version v1.5.1 - mod for KS & Level Editor

Yes, it includes all Juni sounds and save spots sound.

After you add the exe to Avira exceptions it would probably detect some .mfx module. The modules and actual exe are extracted into different locations each time the game is run, so it may be a problem.

Now that we know big World.ini files cause slow loading, I was recently wishing I'd used the map system from KS Ex in KS+.

I'd suggest the additional solid shapes from the Invisible bank. Having these would make it easier for designers to upgrade a KS+ project to KS Ex. Being able to write "invisibly" to the collision mask is a bonus to designers anyway.

Why?
Because it's easy to inflate the size of the file by adding false locations and user defined colors for most of the rooms in a level. It'll only be an issue for large levels, but that's what I'm interested in making. The way KS Ex can define areas seems much more economical. My original goal was a designer friendly map system. I didn't realize large ini files could be such a burden.

If I were to design KS from the ground up, like a true KS 2.0, I'd add a z-depth to handle duplicate locations. I'd add a bank for map icons, and I'd reserve bytes in the Map.bin for map color and icon. [/offtopic]

I didn't know KS+ allows custom map colors. Maybe I'll add this too. I got interested in collectables (coins, artifacts, new keys) so I've started working on them for KS Ex. Though, expanding KS Ex is not at all a priority. If I gain interest for WoG or KU editor, I'll abandon the work on collectables :)

I stole ideas from you too. I only added color to the map because you did. User defined colors was a request by SecretGlitch anyway, iIrc. Creating our mods at the same time has strengthened both products.

You can rip the Collectibles code right out of my source if that's possible. It was a ton of painstaking work. You'll have to erase all the OCO instructions. And, you can use the graphics too. I'm rather proud of the coin and artifact animations.

Say GrayFace, having no background knowledge with programming :oops: , does the linked Lua manual contain all the functions, statements, etc. that are associated with your mod?
Also, is there anything in the manual that your mod doesn't utilize. Just wondering because the manual is a lot to read.
Just so I wouldn't ask in the future, but are the codes that you've given us, such as the "simple one-liners" are the only ones this mod uses? If there are other ones, where can I find them all? 
Title: Re: Extended Version v1.5.9 - mod for KS & Level Editor
Post by: GrayFace on May 05, 2015, 09:46:57
Documentation is always a big issue for me. Documenting all functions would almost double the work, so I didn't do that. It's easier for me to write some code for people who need it.
By linked documentation do you mean Lua manual or "XLua Interfaces.chm"? Lua manual describes the Lua language itself and general-purpose functions. "XLua Interfaces.chm" describes functions of XLua binding for working with MMF objects, but doesn't contain any information about my KS-specific stuff. Simple one-liners may barely scratch the surface. Almost all functions and all events are implemented in Data\Lua\main.lua and Functions.lua. Best way to learn is to ask me :)

Post by: juste on August 19, 2015, 01:35:16
Hi, I've really enjoyed this mod. It's really awesome. I finally got around to getting it on my new computer, but I just have one concern.

When I start the .exe for the level editor (Level Editor Ex.exe), a Trojan is detected -- more specifically, "TR/Offend.6945595" somewhere in my Temp folder. This is detected whenever I try running the .exe and I must remove it every time, and, moreover, I'm not able to start the program due to this detection because it's being blocked (of course, I just disable my antivirus and run the program happily).

I don't doubt you or anything, and I can hardly see a Trojan being injected into a peculiar .exe such as this (a level editor for a really nice game..), but I'm just wondering why I may be detecting a Trojan in the program? Like, just a rational explanation as to why it's happening, because I know stuff like this is detected and it's nothing but I'm just curious as to the "third party" source to its detection.

It seems as though the detected "Trojan" is more specifically connected to the stdrt.exe process running thru the temp files. Just want to confirm.

Also, I downloaded the same mod previously and there were no problems (although, the computer I previously used didn't have an antivirus).

Once again I'd like to iterate that I do not believe you injected a trojan into stdrt.exe, Level Editor Ex.exe, or any other app affiliated with the download -- I'm just curious as to why this is happening. Thank you.

I've discovered what appears to be a minor bug. In areas where the music is only supposed to play when you have the eye, it plays even if I don't have it yet. For example, the creepy music in the dark area in The Machine starts playing right away, even before I collect the eye and can see the ghosts and invivible blocks. I'm not having this problem with the unmodded version of Knytt Stories.

@juste: Many virus protection programs find exception with the stdrt.exe sub-program. Level Editor Ex and many other Nifflas related programs were written with a software development program called MMF2. When you run a program written on this software it launches it's core functionality as a separate process which is similar to the way Trojans are deployed. At some point in history someone made a virus and disguised it as the strdt.exe. Most virus protection softwares therefore blacklist it. MMF2 is a somewhat widely used development software, but not wide enough for most virus protection software makers to care that they are blacklisting thousands of benign programs.

TLDR: It is safe. Try to teach your virus software to ignore it, but be as specific as you can since there are real viruses out there named strdt.exe.

The next version won't run from Temp folder, so adding an exception for it in AV shouldn't be a problem. I found that "Compress the runtime" is causing the executable to be unpacked and run from Temp.

kilicool64, thanks for report

Sorry for the sudden bump, but I just noticed that the latest build of KS Ex (v1.5.9) seems to always use the default skin color for Juni, even when a custom color value is set in the World.ini file. This is particularly noticeable in levels that rely on this feature to make Juni invisible or give her a silhouetted look. Custom clothes colors are displayed correctly, though.

Few questions:
1. Is there something like a console? If I do print("example"), does it go somewhere that I can read?
2. How well-sandboxed is this?
