Adding Player Classes - Problem...

Soul_Rider

I have a problem with adding player classes to the game.

I have succesfully added new teams, new spectators, but when I try to add a new player class - I have created 2, over the course of Proving Grounds - RedMarine and Avatar, I can't load them. When running the game I get the message:

Error: Client class hierarchy for avatar does not match server class
Error: Client class hierarchy for redmarine does not match server class

I have taken the basic marine in both cases, renamed all the functions from Marine:function to Avatar:function or RedMarine:function, adjusted the map names and still I get this problem. Can anyone shed any light on what I am missing?

These are independent problems, I am trying to run with 1 or the other, not both at the same time, yet both cause this same issue. Any help/ideas would be great :)

They are being loaded by the relevant team - Avatar is called from MarineTeam, RedMarine was being called by the working RedTeam.

Any obvious things I may be missing?

Sounds like an error when loading that lua file, or in the definition of the class. Are you extending off of Marine, or off of Player?

Did you load the new class with the client and the server?

Soul_Rider

@xDragon, it is a direct copy of Marine modified, so it is inheriting off of Player.

@JimWest, it is loaded from MarineTeam.lua, that works across both client and server. I don't load the file specifically in client, server or shared, but then I also have removed Marine.lua from Shared, but it still loads. You have given me some ideas though, I'll look into that further...

EDIT ------

Ok, very odd, while Marine.lua loads happily from either JetpackMarine.lua, or MarineTeam.lua, not sure which, my Avatar wouldn't. I added it to Shared.lua, and it worked, well then gave other problems, namely that weapon.lua wasn't called in shared either, despite that working, so I added that, then found out I had to move it up the list, it appears, order of loading files also matters :P

Anyway, I am ironing out a few related issues, but it seems (fingers crossed) to be working now. Thanks for the help guys.

and hows your Shared.LinkClassToMap looking?

Soul_Rider

Correct :)

As I said earlier, I just had to sort out one or two minor code changes I had inflicted, but it is all working perfectly now :)
