Blue screen or Red Map = problems

Hi!
I have here a COG that changes a custom made 256x256 blue MAT file into stars2.mat, and tints the room red. But it crashes when I try!

Code:

# See the inside of the tie from a screen!
#
# By Edward
flags=0x240
symbols

message		startup

message		activated

surface		screen

thing		cam

surface		window0
surface		window1
surface		window2
surface		window3
surface		window4
surface		window5
surface		window6
surface		window7
surface		window8

sector		room1
sector		room2

material	type0
material	type1

int		cmp=0		local
int		z=0		local

end
#
code
startup:
	SetColorMap(room1,cmp);
	SetColorMap(room2,cmp);
	for(z=0; z<9; z=z+1)
	{
		SetSurfaceMat(window0[z],type0[cmp]);
	}
return;
activated:
	if(GetSenderRef()!=screen) return;
	If(cmp==0)
	{
		cmp=1;
		SetCameraFocus(0,cam);
	}
	else
	{
		cmp=0;
		SetCameraFocus(0,GetLocalPlayerThing());
	}
	SetColorMap(room1,cmp);
	SetColorMap(room2,cmp);
	for(z=0; z<9; z=z+1)
	{
		SetSurfaceMat(window0[z],type[cmp]);
	}
return;
end

Help?

I block out Color map, it crashes. I block out Set Mat, it doesn't crash, BUT it doesn't change to red map! I'm using 01narsh, and I got that piece of code from 16fall.

Hi there

[http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Well after a cursory glance, your array usage/assignment is wrong in the final "for" loop of activated - "type", where (in your symbols section) you have declared only "type0" and "type1"... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

maybe try setsectorcolormap instead of setcolormap

and are you sure that the cmp should be an int? (would seem the most logic to me too, but juat asking)

No change when I had SetSectorColormap.
I checked DataMaster, but it just said (sector,cmp) and no indication on what it should be, nor did I find a cmp symbol thingy... And:

Something should work if I got it from a working COG.

I don't have Jed right now, so I can't check this out for myself:

Does the level that uses the cog you based your cog on use a different cmp than 01narsh? If so, you might check out the cmp that is right after it. If it redmap or something, then you need to count how many cmps from 01narsh.cmp the redmap is, and use that integer. (Like if it's 5 cmps down the list, use a 5 for your second integer.). If not, then I don't know.

It is only one, and you seem to have forgotten what 16fall is... 16fall = 16 - The Falling Ship.

Think... Why did LucasArts call the CMP files for 01narsh, 03home, 09fuel, etc.
Level 16 = 16fall.cmp

I know, but they sometimes used the same cmp for 2 (or sometimes even 3) levels. I wish I had a list (in the right order); I might be of more help.

01yellow.cmp Yellow team side of NS places
03house.cmp  In the house places (seen only in 03)
04farm.cmp   In the aqueducts places
06baron.cmp  In the Baron levels ( ) (05 06, and 07 & 08 I think...)
09fuel.cmp   In fuel places
10cargo.cmp  When on the Cargo Ship
11pic.cmp    For Gorc & Pic
12escape.cmp When escaping the Cargo Ship
12redmap.cmp I think, in the big reactor thingy...
15maw.cmp    In the place before Maw and when Maw comes.
16fall.cmp   In the falling cargo ship
16red.cmp    For falling ship Red Alert
17sarris.cmp When fighting Sarris
19descent.cmp For Levels 18 & 19
20val.cmp     For Boc & Jerec

Ok, here's what I'm trying to point out. Notice that 16red.cmp is right under 16fall.cmp. That's why the cog uses 0 (the current cmp) and 1 (the next cmp). Since you're using 01narsh.cmp, you'll have to use 13 instead of 1 to get to 16red.cmp. 0 will represent the level's master cmp, which cannot be changed via cog, as far as I know.

One potential problem is that 16red.cmp might be adaptive specifically for 16fall.cmp, so you might need to make a redmap for 01narsh... but I leave that for you to decide if it's neccessary or not.

Hope this helps. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Well, I tried to set it for 13, but it crashed (simply because I didn't have a MAT 13). So I tried to set a MAT 13 (replace type1 with type13), but it still crashed!
And so I'm stuck...
Any experts out there?

Try replacing the variables with the numbers (instead of "[cmp]", at least in your mats).

It did not work!
I set an i for 13 each on time, and set it for the cmp for sector. Then I added Sector in the SetColorMap.
Maybe I should send the level to someone to see what the problem is...

try this:

Code:

# See the inside of the tie from a screen!
#
# By Edward
flags=0x240
symbols

message		startup

message		activated

surface		screen

thing		cam

surface		window0
surface		window1
surface		window2
surface		window3
surface		window4
surface		window5
surface		window6
surface		window7
surface		window8

sector		room1
sector		room2
sector        hintSec1
sector        hintSec2

material	type0
material	type1

int		cmp=0		local
int		z=0		local

end
#
code
startup:
	SetColorMap(room1,GetColorMap(hintSec1[cmp]));
	SetColorMap(room2,GetColorMap(hintSec1[cmp]));
	for(z=0; z<9; z=z+1)
	{
		SetSurfaceMat(window0[z],type0[cmp]);
	}
return;
activated:
	if(GetSenderRef()!=screen) return;
	If(cmp==0)
	{
		cmp=1;
		SetCameraFocus(0,cam);
	}
	else
	{
		cmp=0;
		SetCameraFocus(0,GetLocalPlayerThing());
	}
	SetColorMap(room1,GetColorMap(hintSec1[cmp]));
	SetColorMap(room2,GetColorMap(hintSec1[cmp]));
	for(z=0; z<9; z=z+1)
	{
		SetSurfaceMat(window0[z],type0[cmp]);
	}
return;
end

hintSec1 can be any sector that uses your master cmp, or the one you want the rooms to normally be.
hintSec2 needs to be a sector that has 01redmap.cmp as its colormap, if you dont have one normally in your level then just make a little one off in the middle of nowhere and give it that cmp.
i worked for me, hope it helps you.
