Including (@include) question

[tonaz]

Hello!
I am working on a small mod of mine, and i would like to include a value inside many .sui files.
For example i have interior_renault_t.sui starting:

Code: Select all

vehicle_interior_camera: camera.interior.renault.t
{
# basic def START
mouse_right_limit: -180
mouse_left_limit: 210
mouse_up_limit: 73
mouse_down_limit: -65
camera_fov: 72
near_plane: 0.1
far_plane:  1600

I would like that value "far_plane" to change for every vehicle .sui.
So i tried:

Code: Select all

... ...
camera_fov: 72
near_plane: 0.1
@include "custom_draw_distance.sui"

and in the same folder i have that file custom_draw_distance.sui containing this:

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
far_plane:  2000
}

but game crashes on loading
Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!!

The include statement does a textual conversion. All text of the file you are including is placed where the statement was.

So you are replacing something like

Code: Select all

far_plane:  1600

with this:

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
far_plane:  2000
}

When the original file didn't need a new sii unit at that very place, your included text doesn't either. Get rid of it and just use the line

Code: Select all

far_plane:  2000

as included text, with nothing else.

By the way, there is a typo in "SiiNunit". Not that it does matter.

Whats the typo?
Bythewaynow it work, it was because the @include statement MUST be in first column, without any spaces before...

[Reinhard]

SIIUnit, not SiiNunit.

[tonaz]

are you sure?
in the wiki they write SiiNunit

https://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Docume ... gine/Units

[Reinhard]

Sure? Not really. Currently, I'm on vacation, and don't have access to my modding stuff.

Every talk about it mentioned "SII units". If SiiNunit is correct, copy and paste without really looking saved me from noticing it. Can't remember to have ever heard something about N-Units, but who knows.

A quick look into the extracted definitions from the base should tell - which I'm not able to do right now.

it was always SiiNunit

Then I've misread that bugger for many years. I'm just celebrating this with a nice cold beer!

There is "one more thing": An @include cannot have a #comment behind it.

Code: Select all

# works:
@include "somefile"
# doesn't work
@include "somefile" #comment
# works: comment out @include, so it is not loaded:
#@include "somefile"

I think the Wiki is missing this info about the comment not being allowed behind the @include - or it is a bug in the parser...
