Adding Talent to Sidebar - Error

[augustgames]

So I am teaching myself how to play with FG Rulesets. So far it has been a blast. I ran into a problem that I can't seem to figure out. I am sure it is simple.

1. I added "TALENTS" to the sidebar and created a form
2. I click on the ican and it opens up the box

3. When I click the green PLUS button to add a record I get the following error:
[ERROR] Script execution error: [string "CoreRPG:..n/scripts/campaign_button_new.lua"]:23: createChild: Invalid argument 1

I am sure I missed something basic. Help would be appreciated as I learn.

Daniel.

How have you defined the library aRecord entry for Talents?

Make sure you review the comments and examples in the CoreRPG scripts\data_library.lua file. It's possible you may not have defined a valid entry for aDataMap, but without seeing the code for how you've gone about this we can't be sure.

I will do that!

FYI - I used Ruleset Wizard to make the form and added this script. Sorry, I should have included this. It was pre-coffee.

function onInit()

LibraryData.aRecords["talents"]= {
bExport = True,
aDatamap = {"talents","reference.talents"},
asDisplayIcon = {"sidebar","sidebar_down"},
sRecordDisplayClass = "talents",
}
end

Well from above it's looking for a declared windowclass named 'talents'. Once you have that setup it should open the window without an error.

I commented it out and I still get the same error "[ERROR] Script execution error: [string "CoreRPG:..n/scripts/campaign_button_new.lua"]:23: createChild: Invalid argument 1"

I made sure the form and library data were lined up

LibraryData.aRecords["talent"]= {
bExport = True,
aDatamap = {"talent","reference.talent"},
asDisplayIcon = {"sidebar","sidebar_down"},
--sListDisplayClass = "master_talent",
}


Here is the form

<root>
<windowclass name="talent">
<placement>
<size height="300" width="300" />
</placement>
<sizelimits resize="both">
<hostcontrol />
</sizelimits>
<sheetdata>
<stringfield name="talent_name">
<bounds>30,9,150,20</bounds>
<controlline />
<lineoffset>-2</lineoffset>
</stringfield>
<linkfield name="talent_lnk">
<bounds>4,3,20,20</bounds>
<description>
<field>name</field>
</description>
<class>talent</class>
<selfonempty />
</linkfield>
<stringfield name="talent_desc">
<bounds>30,36,150,26</bounds>
<controlline />
<lineoffset>-2</lineoffset>
</stringfield>
</sheetdata>
</windowclass>
</root>

I would have to see the full code to give more direct pointers as the windowclass doesn't appear any issues. Other areas might be looking in the console and see if something isn't loading or bad templates.

I really appreciate it. I feel a bit stuck. I attached a link to my dropbox with to my corerpg.pak and HereAfter Fantasy.pak

The error listed in post #1 is caused by the button code not returning a valid node from window.getDatabaseNode(). Which suggests that the talents list window hasn't been correctly initiated with an underlying database node. I'm not sure what's causing that to occur, and I don't have time to dive into the code.

@augustgames - I don't think asDisplayIcon is a valid variable in the usual CoreRPG based rulesets, is this something specific to the ruleset you're using? Although I don't think this would cause the issue.

Have you modified CoreRPG or are you using the standard version?

[augustgames]

Standard. I have not changed anything.
