Create unit tags misfunction *FIXED*

There are two kinds of problems I am facing, one is where a string such as "Create Devourer" comes up as "eate Devourer". The other is that the part that shows the mineral, gas, and supply cost is not shown. I attached my mod if it helps find the problem.

Also, if you run it, and the custom tags aren't shown, please tell me.

Thanks! it works now :)

For anyone else who has the same problem, it seems that the cause is that hotkeys are necessary to proper function of a tag when applicable (not optional) and if you try to remove the hotkey, the game confuses it with a different kind of tag (such as a name of a unit)

I think this is because the opcodes of the tag aren't set up properly. The <> parts.



Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

<0> = Label Only, no Requirements
<1> = Minerals, Gas, Supply (Unit/Building)
<2> = Upgrade Research
<3> = Spell
<4> = Technology Research
<5> = Minerals, Gas (Guardian/Devourer Aspect)

Told you already.

The first character is the hotkey, followed by the label type. So, you'd probably want something like "d<1>Create <3>D<1>evourer<0>". (The <3> and the second <1> are color tags, not label types.)



None.

I tried both and for some reason both problems persist.

Attach your stat_txt.tbl file. Tell me what lines specifically are dysfunctional.

To name a few:

Create Mutalisk/Guardian/Devourer/Death Hybrid/Storm Hybrid/Blood Hybrid

and thanks for helping me :)

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
