Sword and Shield animation fail - Error: Missing treasure dialog

[Hawkinzon]

Hi,

Short description of the problem
When I load an item (e.g sword) I receive the sword and can use it, but there is no animation playing or any dialog showing up. and I also get the following error code.
Error: Missing treasure dialog: '_treasure.sword.1'

The problem is more described below this line


I have downloaded Solarus and is currently following a Zelda tutorial made by ChristophoZS on Youtube.com
I am in part 4 (link to video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=768IFV1zBKU) of the tutorial were you create Items and treasures.

I have also downloaded the resources from ChristophoZS which contains the following:
items - This folder contains 3 LUA files (heart, shield and sword). Which all have different but pre-set codes to use
languages - This folder contains a subfolder named en which only means that the languages is for english usage.
subfolder en - The subfolder contains two other subfolders images which is empty and text which contains two DAT-files
subfolder text - The subfolder contains two DAT-files named dialogs.dat and strings.dat
dialogs.dat - This DAT-file contains the code for dialogs that should be played when a specific item is picked up. e.g sword 1 (courage sword)

Below is a example for how the code is written:

--------------------
-- Sword 1
dialog{
  id = "_treasure.sword.1",
  text = [[
You found the
Sword of Courage!

Use it to vanquish
your enemies!
]]
}
--------------------

As you can see above the code says that when Sword 1 is picked up in game a dialog (id=_treasure.sword.1) should be played and also what kind of text it should display.

I took these two folders (items and languages) and replaced them in my Quest -> data folder (As he showed in the tutorial). But there is no dialog showing up and there is also no animation played at all when i pick the sword up through, for an example, a chest. I have also tried to place the sword on the ground without success.

One thing that I should add is that the "Pick up item" sound is played when I pick the sword up.

If anyone knows what is wrong please get in touch with me, this ruins much of the gameplay.

You have to set a language for dialogs to work. To do that, in main.lua you can just uncomment the line: sol.language.set_language("en")

PS: I will improve the error message so that it is more helpful: https://github.com/solarus-games/solarus/issues/1006

Hi,

First of all, thank you for the help and thank you for a really great Tutorial!

To uncomment the line as suggested worked but I forgot that I had to add the language in the Quest engine, but otherwise it worked!!
