Can not show "string list" for MCM OnOptionMenuOpen [solved]

[greenmango12]

Thanks,, I could solve this issue already...

 

====  

If someone see same issue. for MCM open menu function...not generate list...   (list type)..

 

  check if you set first index array value as  array[0] = "None"   , it cause miss generate your list in the menu option

to avoid it, eg , you may set array[0] = "<<None>>"   then it work.   I think I should avoid to use "None" for string array.

 

-========

 

 

I try to make simple list menu, which just have 10 animation tags, for my custom mod in MCM menu.

most of menu worked for me,, but I can not find reason, only about String Array which I set, not shown in MCM,

 

So I tried many things, just show tag list (I limit it as 10) but everytime I up-date, compile, and load clean save game.. 

The function not show list...  I confirmed, by debug, there is already list, but not shown .. like this pic..

 

So many sexlab mod may use MCM menu, and I hope if some modder who already use MCM list often, 

teach me where is wrong. .I took many hours already about this issue. then I feel.. (almost give up..now)

 

My goal is show 5 menu option, (tag1, tag2. tag3, tag4, tag5)

then select each tag.. then store the index for Global variables.. then use it in dialogue sex....  I suppose I could set global variable correctly... but when I select tags,

it never show list... but if I use Debug.Messagebox.. actually I can see, my describe tags are shown as string...

 

Though  I use function just to generate list,, it is because,, where I set  String [] mytags.. (OnInt or OnConfigInt etc).. after all I can not find tag list,, in the menu,

when I open the Option menu....  (btw there is no compile error,, so it generate pex from this source)

 

I confirm I correctly install SKY UI SDK 5.1  (though I think 5.2 SE already have source,, but anyway I follow tutorial)

then when I load data, (which is clean save data = not activated this mod, so my MCM menu can load easy..)  and

open the animation 1st tag menu. (I only add one to test it work),  it not show any string (tag) which I set..

 

 

any help or advice, I really apreciate...  (SKY SU 5.2 SE,, ... skyrim runtime = 1.5.97 SKSE 2.0.20)

I can not go foward ?

Check your papyrus log.

OnInit and OnConfigInit are only called once when the engine first loads the script and never again. So either test in a clean save or better yet take measures to handle Script Versioning.

 

There is also the OnConfigOpen event.

 

There shouldn't be any reason to continuously redefine the same array to the exact same values so many times. The variable scope is global; set it once, and it will stay that way for as long as the mod is installed or until you deliberately change it (i.e. mytags[0] = "SomethingElse").

Thanks advice..?

 

  So I just start to make MCM menu , then I actually up-date my mods again and again,,with use same data,,

, (which was  patch to add slider menu for yiled to me + my custom dialogue test mod to change animation with tags , I self merged for my prupose)  then I could  not confirm  my issue was caused broken data...or not clear...

 

Yes,,, as you said,, I might only need to set  array one time.. When I first test, to confirm list,

 I tried to use OnInt (parent) method.  >> failed >>  OnConfiginit >> failed..  then  tried to call function to set Array >> failed... about all case,,, when Open the menu.. there is no list.. (but Debug.messagebox (Myarray) show the list.. as string when open ^^;     

 

about clean save data,,,  I just remove and apply falrim tool.. so if it was reason...  return array in ConfigInt event , and  try with new save data... which have not installed this patch...  If my save data already corrupted,(un-activate + falrim tools and save)   even though I add new version check,, I afraid it may hot work..

if you can find another reason, in the code.. where I miss use array. or MCM scripts,, teach me please...

OnInit and ConfigInit will only be called once, cleaning will not change this.

 

If you are only going to use those events, then test in a new game every time: at the main menu, open the console and enter coc qasmoke. This will spawn a default character in a test cell. Wait until the MCMs are registered, then check your menu.

 

Otherwise:

Event OnConfigOpen()
    mytags = new string[10]
    mytags[0] = "NONE"
    mytags[1] = "aggressive"
    mytags[2] = "bound"
    mytags[3] = "Missionary"
    mytags[4] = "DoggyStyle"
    mytags[5] = "Cowgirl"
    mytags[6] = "Pillory"
    mytags[7] = "Xcross"
    mytags[8] = "Bed"
    mytags[9] = "animobject"
EndEvent

And remove the SetAnimTags function.

@Sailing Rebel

I found stack in papyrusl log, with change code.  and set tag array only when  Event OnConfigOpen.

 

but still not show list... when I open the menu...

. and it did not change even though I use start save game data... (clean save mod. save data)

when click my setting page...  current set = "Agrressive". then untill open it, mytags seems correctly loaded.  

but when OnOptionMenuOpen... it seems miss generate myittem in the Menu.... 

so I add Debug.messagebox().. then it show my list like this...to check mytags{0}, mytags[1], mytags[2]...  but not show it in menu...

And remove the SetAnimTags function.

Ok I seems reply first.. I will test without use function.. (I understand,, it need not ^^; ) 

and is there way to clean up mytag as empty... once..(initialize?),,, so to avoid it try to set new item over 0 to 9 ...

 

And untill change script (remove function),  as you know.. so there is mytags array... but not shown in list..

Ah... thanks...,, there seems  one mod which may effect MCM loading way... so I remove it,,.. now it finally work...?

 

(so my mod need some master mods.. then I do not hope to make new profile for this specific issue.. (to keep each mod master relation and confirm ^^;)

 

I may report, which mod stop to load / update  list .... after confirm it... (at current just guess .. so do not hope to miss report and blame the mod)

 

And really thanks you take time.. @Sailing Rebel  without your help.. I never plan to use onConfigload...and may be give up easy ^^;

 

[Sailing Rebel]

Spoiler

Only test in a new game, every time.

 

Make sure all properties have been set on the script in CK.

 

Ensure that the GlobalVariable anim1n_pm has an appropriate value defined in CK (or set a default value in the script).

Remove SetAnimTags, define the mytags array in OnConfigOpen.

 

Use these settings to get line numbers in the Papyrus log:

[Papyrus]
bEnableLogging=1
bEnableTrace=1
bLoadDebugInformation = 1

 

Didn't see you reply before posting. Glad you got it sorted.

I found what cause issue.. it is not other MCM related mod,,

 

The reason was,  I set first value of the Array ... eg

 Array[0} ="None"  or "NONE" etc.. (do not know reason though.. but I need option non set tag.. then I set so for first index value.. "" or "None" or "NONE" everytime."

 

Then I happend to change it as "--None--"  or other word.. 

 

If I use "None" for the list[0] , MCM seems miss consider.. the Array is None.. only when MCM generate list (in menu)... 

I now try same thing... then when I set mytag[0} == "None"  it show same issue again.  it seems only happen when open menu..

 

but I return mytag[0] == "--None--" ... it can generate list for same save data..
