Don't, there were still basic errors in the KNI event file of the 1.7 patch for example... (Though I do not blame them either, I am too lazy to parse all the event files too ).

Think of all the new post you can create reporting bugs to reach the magic 3000 number for a custom avatar...

Did anyone run it against all the base EU2 event files to find all the remaining bugs for Paradox ?

I did some testing against the stock 1.07, as a source of mostly correct syntax. Most of the errors it caught were there since 1.05 and already reported, and I didn't want to annoy people with repeat bug reports. But here's what comes out (but reformatted for easier viewing):

Very nice tool!
Will you report the bugs?

 

[Jester]

I am getting a error message when I am trying to vlaidate my event file thru the eventaparser.

It says

System.nullreferenceException: object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at eventparser.validator.error(string s, Xmlnode xn)
blah blah blah
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any idea what this is all about?

Th event parser seems to work fine on another file that I had it check.

ANOTHER Issue I just found is that apparently the Eventparser has a problem with negative values -1/-2/-3 in the domestic actions. The program beleives these are all errors.

Late,
Jester

Maybe I'm stupid, but I can't get this to work... I want to use it on my mod (run through moddir), and I tried to alter the AoN batch file to serve my needs for it.

If someone has the time for it, I would very much appreciate a little help here.

any more word on my requests?

I think you are referring to a different program. Is this Coder's event checker? The error sounds like from java or .net code. Also, I allow -10 to +10 for domestic command actions.

Hive, did a console window appear when you ran the file? If so, then there should be some kind of output in C:\Temp\output.txt.

What OS do you have? There are slight differences in the command console between win95/98/Me and NT/2000/XP. I only tried the BAT file on win2000 and XP, so maybe it doesn't work on win98, the way I wrote it.

Another possible problem: in the last of the 3 commands in the command_aon.bat file, it is looking for specific files called DB\aon_events.txt and DB\Events\aon, which may need to be edited for another mod. It's at the end of a rather long line, so it's not obvious.

If Perl itself is the problem, try this:

- download http://www.katica.org/cer28/eu2/EU2EventParser/EU2Lint_Perl.zip and unzip the files into the existing EU2Lint directory.
- Modify at the file in win32\command_moddir.bat (redefine the SET commands as necessary)
- click on the BAT file to run the program. It uses a self-contained version of perl, so that it is no longer necessary to install the full ActiveState version of perl (if this experiment works, that is). It's the first time I've tried this, so I don't know how well it will work.

you are correct, sorry

@Recess Monkey

I tried doing what you described, but I still can't get it to work... nothing appears in the output.txt...

 

[Kasperus]

The online version shows that the tool now recognizes the flag-triggers and set/clrflag commands, but when I try it I always get syntax-errors like the following:

Syntax error in object Event, state <action_command>, at line 32 char 38, with buffer 'thcrusade } } action_b = { name = Decline. command =

The parser seems to complain about the 'name' I use for the flag (I think?) but then I do not understand why as events like that do work (for me, I checked the file up to find another kind of errors). Well, am I wrong or does this just don't work very well (yet) with these commands?

 

[Khephren]

Has anybody had any luck with this?? (the downloadable version, not the online one) With all the new tags supposedly opening up this would really be a godsend for checking id conflicts.
