Modding Questions/Help / Crashed when trying to load a savegame

« on: May 13, 2022, 08:26:22 AM »

Hello, can someone help me?

I'm making a mod for Bully AE, everything is fine in gameplay, but when trying to load a savegame, the game crashed. How to prevent that? Is it because of my mod is too big? Creating too many threads? Or what?

Bully Modding / Sorting table (array)

« on: May 01, 2022, 06:28:56 AM »

Sorting 1D array:

Code: [Select]

a={'i', 'o', 'a', 'e', 'u'}
table.sort(a)
for _, v in ipairs(a) do
  print(v)
end
Sorting 2D array:

Code: [Select]

G = {}
for k, v in pairs(_G) do
  G[#G+1] = {tostring(k), tostring(v)}    -- #G  is basically just a new syntax of table.getn(G), this # operator doesn't available in Bully's Lua v5.0.2
end
table.sort(G, function(a, b)
  return a[1] < b[1]
end)
for _, v in ipairs(G) do
  print("Key: " .. v[1] .. "\nValue: " .. v[2] .. "\n")
end
Try the code in this site: lua.org/demo.html

Bully Modding / Linear interpolation

« on: March 18, 2022, 12:25:40 AM »

Playing around with linear interpolation, another that similar to this is called easing or tweening.

Linear interpolation is used to move an object slowly. It can move slowly when it starts to move (acceleration), or when approaching the end point, or both.

Code: [Select]


--[[
  a = start point
  b = end point
  t = progress (the value is between 0 and 1)
]]
_G.math.lerp = function(a, b, t)
  return a + (b - a) * t
end

function main()
  Wait(1000)
  local x, y, z = PlayerGetPosXYZ ()
  local eff = EffectCreate ("GymFire", x, y, z)
  repeat
    Wait(0)
    local X, Y, Z = PlayerGetPosXYZ ()
    x, y, z = math.lerp(x, X,  0.05),  math.lerp(y, Y, 0.05), math.lerp(z, Z, 0.05)
    EffectSetPosition (eff, x, y, z)
  until IsButtonBeingPressed (6, 0)
  EffectKill (eff)
  x, y, z, eff = nil, nil, nil, nil
  while true do
    Wait(0)
  end

I tried to put the mod to CCE on pcsx2 with ultraiso, but the game crashed after a few seconds. Even though the mod I use is only a small mod(random style, kiss all womans, humiliation). Anyone know the cause? Or I just choose the Bully PS2 over CCE?
