Mock-up for a non-interactive combat system for FreeOrion

It would probably be more helpful if you could provide the error in english.

Currently under development, do not expect it to work.

Everything is work in progress.

You can maybe open an issue on the repo tho. @braindeadbzh seems to be registered on the forums so perhaps they can confirm if this is the preferred way to move forward.

Hello. Yes opening an issue is the best way if you encounter a bug with CardEngine.

Megalomaniak more helpful if you could provide the error in english.

How ?
Godot gives it to me in French...

Is there a non-microsoft repository where to open this issue ?

LienRag How ?

I mean you could translate it, either yourself or using a translation app or such. As the one requesting help I'd say the onus is on you to make helping you as low barrier as possible. This is not limited to just translating errors given but also including things such as providing more info about how the relevant scene is built, what the node structure is like, what signals might be connected and to where, etc.

LienRag Is there a non-microsoft repository

Microsoft doesn't own the contents of the repo tho, they only acquired the service provider. It's one thing if you don't want to host any of your code there but reporting issues to the relevant repo shouldn't really be an issue realistically.

Oh, OK.
"Impossible to charge extension's script from path : « res://addons/cardengine/card_engine.gd ».
This may be due to a programming error in the script.
The extension « res://addons/cardengine/plugin.cfg » has been disactivated to prevent further errors".

No relevant scene is built since I get this error whether I try to activate the plugin in an already existing scene or on a completely brand-new one.

This from 3.3 to 3.5.0.

Well, this requires an account in the devil's book, doesn't it ?
I do have one from before they were acquired (though they weren't free software at that time either) so I probably can soil my soul the way you recommend it, yes.

Done : https://github.com/BraindeadBZH/godot_card_engine/issues/20

Saint Ignucius have mercy on my poor soul !

Apparently the plugin works and I just don't understand how to use it.
Problem is, I still don't understand.
"this repo is supposed to be used as a template" : how to do that ?

Megalomaniak

If you think you have all the files in place in your project directory, you might be missing the necessary AutoLoads that need to be present before activating the plugin.

You also need the project.cardengine file at the root of the project which contains folder paths that should exists.

Well, lets go through it in order: Have you set up the appropriate autoloads as shown in the image?

Do you have the project.cardengine file in your project root? You might have to poke @braindeadbzh about providing an example project.cardengine file perhaps if there is no documented example of what paths it should hold.

braindeadbzh

The project.cardengine file from the repo can be use as it is, most of the projects won't need to change the content.

braindeadbzh

I never really took the time to describe how to install CardEngine into an existing project, the idea being to create your project from the demo. But a simple way could be (NOT TESTED - BACKUP YOUR PROJECT BEFORE):

Past the whole repo content into your project (except git files)
DO NOT overwrite existing files
Add the Autoloads

LienRag

braindeadbzh Past the whole repo content into your project

Well, I chose CardEngine over CardGameFramework specifically to prevent having to do that (it makes the learning curve way steeper)... but I guess what has to be done has to be done.

braindeadbzh Add the Autoloads

There were four autoloads automatically activated. I guess that I should keep them that way ?

Now I'm a bit at a loss : if I "do not overwrite existing files" how do I start my game rather than the demo ?

braindeadbzh the idea being to create your project from the demo

How to do that then ?

braindeadbzh

LienRag There were four autoloads automatically activated. I guess that I should keep them that way ?

Only the ones that point to a script in addons/cardengine are necessary the other are only there to support the demo.

LienRag Now I'm a bit at a loss : if I "do not overwrite existing files" how do I start my game rather than the demo ?

If you did not overwrite any file when pasting CardEngine into your project this should not have changed the main scene.

LienRag How to do that then ?

If you start from the demo, then you can follow the documentation

LienRag

I tried (in Godot 3.5) db0's Card Game Framework since it has a "quickstart" documentation (on the EEE site alas) and I vaguely understand what it's telling me to do, but I'm stuck at the 2.1.6 step : I'm told to load my new inherited thingies under "Script variables" in the inspector but there is no "Script variables" in the inspector ?
How am I to make it appear ? I'm seeing the inspector of the new inherited main scene, am I doing this wrong ?
