New Powered Unit Logic

[Gluk-v48]

Hi everyone, the problem is this:
If you use [UnitType] ► PoweredBy=, then the EVA will not play sounds RobotTankOnline and RobotTankOffline
It is not necessary to bind the logic PoweredBy= ActivateSound= and DeactivateSound=, since I do not want to hear the same ad >1 times.
I think that should be added to this logic, two new options:
[AudioVisual]►Powered.ActivateSound =
[AudioVisual]►Powered.DeactivateSound=

[mevitar (mevitar)]

You mean you don't want to hear the sound for every unit that deactivates/activates? You can just set the Limit= tag in soundmd.ini to 1 for that, no need to add any additional logic.

[Gluk-v48 (glukv48)]

Mevitar, I am leading that what sounds enable\ disable do not play at all, and when it will be fixed, I do not want to hear the sounds many times

[mevitar (mevitar)]

Huh?
How come i can hear them in my mod?

It definitely works, even for multiple different units at once. Do you still have RobotTankOnline and RobotTankOffline on the sound list in soundmd.ini?

Still, add Limit=1 to RobotTankOnline and RobotTankOffline sounds in soundmd.ini, then you won't be hearing those multiple times, just once every time the powering building goes offline/online. YR handles it already, so i think there is no need for any additional coding for that. Especially that unit-powering logic handles those sounds per-unit, not globally, and i don't know how hard would be to de-globalize this.

Mevitarit, only works for the old logic PowersUnit=

[mevitar (mevitar)]

I'm using it for 6 or more units with PoweredBy= and it works fine for all of them. I have ground units, hover units, and even jumpjet units, neither had any problem with it.

Which Ares version are you using?

And did you get rid of PowersUnit= on the building, and PoweredUnit=yes on the units? Those should not be there if you are using PoweredBy= logic.

[Gluk-v48 (glukv48)]

Version Ares 0.2RC1, the same problem I've seen in previous versions.
Tags from the old logic has been removed.

[mevitar (mevitar)]

I don't know what's the problem, then. I'm using 12.204.753, and it works fine here (same with older versions, including 0.2 RC1).
Even separate ActivateSound and DeactivateSound for each unit work without any problems.

Post your unit and powering building code here, maybe those will give us a clue why it happens. It doesn't seem to be the fault of Ares, though.

[Graion Dilach (graiondilach)]

Same thing... I couldn't confirm.

ActivateSound and DeactivateSound as VehicleType entries works for both old PoweredBy and new PowersUnit logics.

Also even if they wouldn't work, having it as a general tag would be bad if there would be more controller buildings and the modder would differ them.

[Gluk-v48 (glukv48)]

Now I re-checked it. I took the original rulesmd.ini, and sounds RobotTankOnline and RobotTankOffline reproduced normally. After I removed the line in rulesmd.ini PowersUnit=ROBO, and a string PoweredUnit=yes replaced the PoweredBy=GAROBO, then EVA not play sounds RobotTankOnline and RobotTankOffline.

[Graion Dilach (graiondilach)]

Post up a rulesmd... I am trying to reproduce it with no avail.

[mevitar (mevitar)]

Perhaps there is something wrong with the .inj file you have? Try updating all Ares files to the 12.204.753 version, and check if it works with it.

[Gluk-v48 (glukv48)]

No, what has changed (

[mevitar (mevitar)]

Last thing, then... Did you use NPatch, and did you uninstall it before using Ares?

[Gluk-v48 (glukv48)]

Of course

[Gluk-v48 (gluk-v48)]

Sorry for the confusion, but I had not introduced ActivateSound = and DeactivateSound =.
I had, I will give notice EVA EVA_RobotTanksOffline and EVA_RobotTanksBackOnline.

[Graion Dilach (graiondilach)]

Let me try to understand you... the bug was caused by your evamd which missed the entries?

[Gluk-v48 (gluk-v48)]

EVA entries EVA_RobotTanksOffline and EVA_RobotTanksBackOnline from the file evamd.ini doesn't work with new Powered Unit Logic.

Enclose amended PoweredUnitClass.cpp

Established on the basis https://github.com/Ares-Developers/Ares/blob/master/src/Misc/PoweredUnitClass.cpp

Thank you for your work on this issue. I've taken a look at the file, and I found some issues that need some fixing before I can commit it to Ares:
* EVA_RobotTanksBackOnline and EVA_RobotTanksOffline would play for every unit on the map, not just once per type.
* EVA_RobotTanksBackOnline will be played continuously for every unit on the map that needs an operator.
* The EVA sounds are still not customizable.

The second one would be a simple fix by moving line 28 after 33. The third would be nice-to-have. The first one would require some more work, otherwise the EVA messages would be very annoying.

[Gluk-v48 (gluk-v48)]

"The second one would be a simple fix by moving line 28 after 33. The third would be nice-to-have."

So you can not do, in this case, you will hear the sounds EVA_RobotTanksBackOnline after canceling attacks RobotTanks of weapons from EMP.

[Gluk-v48 (gluk-v48)]

The only problem I found it repetitive sounds EVA_RobotTanksOffline if you build units with PoweredBy = at the time of power failure.

I'm still working on it. I work slowly, as I have just recently started learning C + +, and this is my first language.
