Self-made sprites（carpentry）disappear after loading

[blackteapie]

I have made some new sprites for pillar lamp.

The sprites showed normally at the first time，which is the time I build the lamp.

But the sprite disappear after the time I reload the save.

So，what could be the pissible reasons for this？

You are playing on singleplayer?

 

Because if you are playing on a server, the server has to know that your character has build something, that the server should safe.

Otherwise it is only seen by the client which build it, and it will disappear when you load the map (after new start of the game or when your character ran around the block.)

I haven't played PZ in multiplayer mode.

local singleplayer is good, makes it easier than on multiplayer...

 

Do you have an example on which you based your code? Then you could have another look on the example.

 

I would use some print()-commands in order to get information about what is going wrong.

So you can see step by step where the first problems in the code appears.

 

Do you load your sprites at game-start? If not this would explin, why there is nothing there any more.

Otherwise you should test with some more print()-commands...

I just changed the sprites and the materials needed for pillar lamps.

Do the sprites for carpentry items need specific tile property？

My code is based on the original ISBuildMenu.lua file, which is looked like the following:

ISBuildMenu.buildLightMenu = function(subMenu, player)

    local sprite = ISBuildMenu.getPillarLampSprite(player);

    local lampOption = subMenu:addOption(getText("ContextMenu_Lamp_on_Pillar"), worldobjects, ISBuildMenu.onPillarLamp, square, sprite, player);

    local toolTip = ISBuildMenu.canBuild(2,4,0,0,0,4,lampOption, player);

    if not getSpecificPlayer(player):getInventory():contains("CandleLit") and not ISBuildMenu.cheat then

        toolTip.description = toolTip.description .. " <RGB:1,0,0>" .. getItemText("CandleLit") .. " 0/1 ";

        lampOption.onSelect = nil;

        lampOption.notAvailable = true;

    else

        toolTip.description = toolTip.description .. " <RGB:1,1,1>" .. getItemText("CandleLit") .. " 1 ";

    end

    if not getSpecificPlayer(player):getInventory():contains("Bowl") and not ISBuildMenu.cheat then

        toolTip.description = toolTip.description .. " <LINE> <RGB:1,0,0>" .. getItemText("Bowl") .." 0/1 ";

        lampOption.onSelect = nil;

        lampOption.notAvailable = true;

    else

        toolTip.description = toolTip.description .. " <LINE> <RGB:1,1,1>" .. getItemText("Bowl") .. "Bowl 1 ";

    end

    toolTip:setName(getText("ContextMenu_Lamp_on_Pillar"));

    toolTip.description = getText("ContextMenu_Lamp_on_Pillar") .. " " .. toolTip.description;

    toolTip:setTexture("constructedobjects_01_1");

 

ISBuildMenu.requireHammer(lampOption)

end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ISBuildMenu.onPillarLamp = function(worldobjects, square, sprite, player)

-- sprite, northSprite

    local lamp = ISLightSource:new(sprite.sprite, sprite.northSprite, getSpecificPlayer(player));

    lamp.offsetX = 5;

    lamp.offsetY = 5;

    lamp.modData["need:Base.Plank"] = "2";

    lamp.modData["need:Base.Bowl"] = "1";

    lamp.modData["need:Base.Nails"] = "4";

--    lamp.modData["need:Base.Torch"] = "1";

    lamp:setEastSprite(sprite.eastSprite);

    lamp:setSouthSprite(sprite.southSprite);

    lamp.fuel = "Base.CandleLit";

    lamp.baseItem = "Base.CandleLit";

    lamp.radius = 10;

    lamp.player = player

    getCell():setDrag(lamp, player);

end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ISBuildMenu.getPillarLampSprite = function(player)

    local sprite = {};

    sprite.sprite = "constructedobjects_01_1";

    sprite.northSprite = "constructedobjects_01_1";

    sprite.southSprite = "constructedobjects_01_1";

    sprite.eastSprite = "constructedobjects_01_1";

    return sprite;

end

 

BTW, the sprites names in the codes above are PZ original sprites. These PZ original sprites don't meet the problem I met with my self-made sprites.

Hmm, if don't have implemented own sprites yet.

But I remember a good howto by turbo: http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/8249-tutorial-world-objects/

Perhaps this will help you (if you haven't read yet),

I have figure that out. I forgot to set the blockstyle.
