Modding Decoding Mythic Slayer (KSoft Issue)

[Weesee 0]

I've been able to decode various gametypes to XML files, but whenever I do a gametype like Mythic Slayer or Mythic Infection, it gives an error: 

#0 is not a valid Player.Object variable index

What does this mean, and how can I fix it? The variants won't show up when trying to load them directly with z-scriptor, despite the fact I extracted them the same way as the other variants.

For the sake of detail, the command box also shows a list of what I presume is half-decoded XML with a bunch of question marks in lines. I am also using KSoft 5040.43099, using the batch files to decode (more reliable than z-scriptor, but it still works as an editor).

You need to enable the 5th switch in ksoft. so it would look like this: 

Quote

KSoft.Tool.exe -env=blam -tool=gvar -mode=decode -game=HaloReach "-path=%~1" "-name=%~n1" "-out=%~dp1\" -switches=10001
PAUSE

I have finally found the cause of the bug. 7ime never added ObjectObject0 to the Object variables section of the gametype. To fix this decode the gametype with the method posted above then scroll down to:

Quote

    <ObjectVariables>

Then add the following code

Quote

      <Objects>
        <Var name="ObjectObject0" />
      </Objects>

Additionally I discovered you can set a network state to these variables so you can keep track of megalo objects after host migration. example:

Quote

      <Objects>
        <Var networkState="HighPriority" name="ObjectObject0" />
      </Objects>

Currently 7ime deletes all megalo objects after host migration because all megalo objects would be forgotten by the objects that created them thus creating the object again. Using a high priority network state allows the game to properly remember these objects avoiding the need to delete them after host migration.

Also you need to do the same for player object variables. Scroll down to

Quote

    <PlayerVariables>

Then add the following code:

Quote

      <Objects>
        <Var name="PlayerObject0" />
      </Objects>
