[MOD] Empyrion Notices

Hi all!

Empyrion Notices has been updated for Empyrion 8.

Changelog:
- Updated compile.
- Change version numbers to match Empyrion versions.

Enjoy!

 

Please tell me how to install

 

What exactly does this mod do? Is it like a bot that posts pre-programmed messages into open chat? Is it an admin tool? Is it a private messaging system? All of the above? None of the above?

Inquiring minds want to know.

 

I see the error.

It should be \Mods\ with an S. Not \Mod\.

 

I put it in MODS, it is loaded.
But it does not work

Is there anything else I must do?

 

Did you download the latest?

 

Yes

EmpyrionNotices_8.0.0.35805.zip

 

Do you see anything in the logs when you restart the server?

 

Non platform assembly: D:\steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Dedicated Server\Content\Mods\EmpyrionNotices_v1.0\EmpyrionNotices.dll (this message is harmless)
13-18:59:26.419 03_59 -LOG- Loaded mod Mod1 from EmpyrionNotices_v1.0

It was displayed in the log

 

That usually means it's loaded. Can you post the entire log?

It would appear that there's an issue with one of the YAML files.
I believe Joe will ask you to post those next

This is Yaml. It is a DL file.

 

Hm. I'm able to reproduce the error, but can't quite see what's wrong
@joemorin73 : I'm not quite sure how your yaml is supposed to work.. It looks rather weird to me .. But it would appear the error goes away, by editing the EN.yaml to [] rather than {} on players

Code:

Settings:
  BroadcastAdmin: true
  EnableAdminCall: true
Players: []
WatchedPlayers: {}

Is this how it's supposed to look?

 

Crap, that might be me.

Players and WatchedPlayers are both collections. They should both be blank when you first start. I'll the brackets might be incorrect. I'll have to verify in an hour.

 

Ok, verified. You are correct, it should be the square brackets. My bad! I'll correct the Zip later.

 

Note, that having [] for players seems to work, while it does not work for watchedplayers. I've no idea how the functionality is supposed to be, but those were the error messages from booting the mod

 

The structure if Players and WatchedPlayers is different. When the mod is in use for a bit, you'll see both start to fill up. Players will store PlayerIDs and their settings. Watched players is a simple list of numbers.

 

Is there a reason why MOD does not work?

 

Yes, there was an error in the EN.Yaml. I've uploaded a new version with the corrected file. It should be fine now.
