Zeus v0.91 - the Omnipotent EDB, DMB, DS Validator - It smite thy bugs.

[Pat89]

I just used it and it works perfectly

[Squid]

I just can't help tinkering with things. So I've tinkered some more.

Added:
-Checks that all owners of non-ship units (per EDU) have corresponding texture lines for all soldier/officer models associated with the unit

Fixed:
-DC texture scan not checking for both tga & tga.dds
-Sprites/Models/building UI/UI/UI_Info checks now all check in the mod folder and then in the vanilla folder for file existence
-Fixed a bug where building ui scan would be bypassed and report no errors if there was an error in descr_ui_buildings.txt

Woot! That's great, keep tinkering.

[Salvor Hardin]

I will not complain either.

[Squid]

What can I say I was tinkering again.

New Feature:
-Checks that all owners of non-ship units (per EDU) have corresponding model_sprite lines for all soldier/officer models associated with the unit

Bugs Fixed:
-descr_rebel_faction.txt unit ownership checking not checking if the unit is owned by the slave faction's culture

Download from here.

To Do:
Allow files to not be in the mod folder but be in the vanilla folder (so if you don't modify descr_character.txt you won't need it in the mod folder).

I'm having some ctds on campaign and I'm getting a bit nervous about it... This tool helped me fix some inconsistences between the EDU and the EDB... Will this tool report a clone general? Cause I think that may be the source of my problem...

[Squid]

Not that I'm aware of, it just reports if the names are valid for the faction the character is associated with.

[Tiberius Caesar Augustus]

may in the future can check the clone characters?, it would be another function of this tool

[Squid]

What would be involved in checking for clone characters?

[Pat89]

What would be involved in checking for clone characters?

Characters that are not in a family tree or in the rebel faction, will make a clone appear for AI factions which cause a CTD if they die. It doesn't necessarily need to be the ruling family, as long as they have a tree. So to answer your question, it would need to check if every family member has a family tree
(I think that's what TCA meant...)

dvk901 has made a thread about it somewhere, but I can't find it right now...

When you release new versions you`re also updating the first post of this thread with the new version and all the relevant info, right?

[Squid]

Yes.

[Caligula Caesar]

This doesn't pick up the faction tag "all".

[Squid]

In which file?

[Caligula Caesar]

EDB and EDU. For instance, there was a section which should have thrown up an exception in the EDB because it gave a unit with the ownership "slave" to "all" factions. And if you have a unit with the ownership "all", it tells you it is a bug if you refer to it in the EDB.

[Squid]

all does not work in edb, if you are using requires faction { all, } as part of your requirements for unit recruitment you might as well just remove the condition.

When checking EDU model references, I get this and the app exits.



Meaning?

[Squid]

Not sure, I don't even know where that error might originate from but I'll look tomorrow. Which option did you pick? I think the second based on your post but it could also be the fifth.

[Aradan]

It's the 5th one. Thx for checking it!

[Squid]

A guess, just by sleeping on it before I get a chance to actually look at it, but look for a line with just model_sprite on it. I think the second line might be the line of the file that's causing problems.
