[Ship Randomizer] The Randtrel v1.3.0

[rannl]

Updated Randtrel to 0.41
* Fixed some layout bugs.
* A little rebalancing of weapon configurations.

Hey rannl,
unforunately, the tool does not seem to work for me.
I am using Windows 8.1 and got Java 1.7.0.51 installed.
The command window that gets opened when using the exe simply states that I do not have java.
Starting the jar doesn't seem to do anything.
(And just to be clear, these things work for the slipstream mod manager.)

Did you, by any chance, compile this with Java 8?

Strange. I'm running on windows 8, and updated to Java 1.7.0.67, with the tool running successfully.
Can you post a screen shot of the tool failing to run on the CMD ?

Sure, here you go.

First line states that the java -jar does indeed work, though I don't know what the input file would be.
Second line shows the exe.

Okay. You can run directly using java -jar Randtrel.jar -src_file assetList.xml.

Where did you save your downloaded java ?
The .exe file tries to run java based on certain common locations where the java folder should be located.
It seems that in your case the java containing folder could not be found.

It's not on C:
Though I got the PATH variable set for Java, maybe you can use that in the future?
Or maybe you should add some configuration file/prompt to specify the java location.

The parameters you posted (almost, it's RandtrelGenerator.jar) worked, thanks.

There's a new problem though. When I apply the generated ftl (using ACE) to the mod launcher and start the game, it immediately crashes after the loading screen bar is full and before the main menu loads. There is no error message.

The crash log generated by the game says:

Code: Select all

Version =  1.5.13

Thanks for the fix. Did you map the java.exe file or the folder containing the JVM ? If you used the java auto installers, I believe the pathing forJVM should have been updated in the windows registery files, meaning that the new JVM should be pathed correctly during the next windows startup.

EDIT : did you patch CE along with the Randtrel ? The generated ship has no resources, so an ACE version will fail to run without also patching in CE.
Can you send me / post your .ftl file ? I'll take a look at it just in case.

I mapped the folder containing the java.exe, but the registery is also updated.
The exe still doesn't work, though.

I updated my post above with the mod load order, but here it is again.

I generated a new Randtrel and it works.
Maybe some of the resulting configurations are bugged?
