TresCom Forums

I changed the overall attachment limit for the forum to see if it was rejecting files from 3+ MB because there was no space left, but it appears there's a limit of 1MB per attachment which isn't configured in the forum (which is set for larger filesizes), but rather, somewhere in the web server itself. Only Paul could do something about that.

In the meantime, Lee, could you upload your files to dropbox so that I (or tatu) could download them, upload them to the TresCom server, and then post the download links here?

I zipped the larger archives in ~1Mb split-volume zips so I can attach them. The real archives for posting/uploading are inside. 7zip can open/extract the split volume files as-is (not sure how winzip/winrar etc. deal with it).

Let me know when you've downloaded the files so I can delete the attachments again.

Edit: except the files aren't getting attached, despite showing no error message when I upload...

Uploaded the files to sendspace instead.

(edit: url removed, files are now found in the first post again)

I'll delete them again once you downloaded.

I think if thay are renamed like .001, 002, etc. you won't be able to attach them... there probably was a message like "extension not supported" which you didn't notice right at the top.

Got them. I'll upload them as soon as I'm back from the supermarket.

EDIT: don't delete them yet... I found out I can't access the server through FTP anymore, and from the control panel I get the same error regarding filesizes... so I can't update them on the server, either. Sendspace will have to do for the time being.

Sounds serious

He IS serious. And don't call him Shirley.

So are we now having major problems with attachments and uploading to the main download server? The files we have uploaded are still accessible, though, right..?

Yes, but currently we can't upload anything new over 1MB...

We could switch to posting downloads to small viruses which infect people's computers with Tres mods and other content

Hmm, NedryLand.exe, perhaps...?

With the forum attachments hiccups going on I forgot to post a few comments about the update.

After much deliberation I opted to leave the CreatureTrigger as-is regarding EvaluateAll, because the code and code comments leave the original intention up for interpretation. Instead, as hinted at and mentioned in the change list, I added the ability to make custom trigger types through scripts. In the spirit of "... Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime".

In the script samples I already included two custom triggers. One that triggers when all creatures are dead, which effectively is the working replacement for what a CreatureTrigger with "fixed" EvaluateAll would've been.

The other is location style trigger that supports multiple creatures, based on an example machf posted earlier. That was only an example not necessarily a request, but I thought that was as good as anything to demonstrate the possibilities.

If you need something similar but slightly different logic then you can just copy that script and modify it. You can also ask and I'll try help if it's not some super complex trigger code that takes hours

Once you have a trigger script, the use is very simple. It works like any other trigger in terms of T-scripting. The only difference is that the class is CScriptTrigger and you have to specify a Script param with the script name.

Yes, I had noticed. Thanks for the additions!

Good to know.

Guys, can you give me little recap, please? What is Trespasser CE? I remember just one fan-made patch called trespasser ATX. Trespasser CE made by the same developer? ATX is deprecated and CE is the main thing?

Think of ATX as a mod (adding several options to the game), while CE is more a patch or update to make it run more smoothly on modern computer systems.
It's not made by the same person, and although ATX isn't exactly deprecated, it's recommended that you use CE.
There has been no ATX release for CE because CE is still a "work in progress", and as such, each new release of CE would require an updated version of ATX too. The auhor of CE has tried to incorporate some of the options from ATX in it (though there are a couple missing).

One more thing worth noting is that CE is a direct modification of the Trespasser source code, while ATX hacks the function in. However, most of ATX's functions are present in CE.
