Help generating Automata from lots

Edit: I also suspect that the package numbers dictate the order in which they load and if that's true, then negative numbers would be lower values than positive ones so then they'd have to start out massively negative to have room for later additions. By restricting it to positive only they can have the very first package be 00000001 and know that if a 00000005 is found it'll load after that.

I think you may be right about that. I was just looking at the Lua code for the BSC Daeley Regional Tracking Mod and one of the Lua files contains a warning that packages which reference it must have a higher package number.

What is the # character telling the game?

Those characters tell the game the start and end of the package id so that it can process it. The game then runs the extracted -package:0eecf277 text through its command line parser to get the 0eecf277 value.

Hi @atsf189

Just to let you know, I've moved the posts from the Quick Question thread into a new topic here, to make it easier to find in future. This way anyone searching for a similar topic is more likely to find the info. I hope you got it working with the generated automata.

If you'd like, it's possible to re-follow the topic using the option in the top right.

Just as a recap below are pictures of how the three files come together.

This is a copy of the LUA Code. Thank you again for fixing this @CorinaMarie

Thanks for annotating and posting! After my two years away I had to re-learn it all again myself. This'll be very handy so we can point other peeps here where you've illustrated it so well.

Nice work! Thank you too for contributing to the SC4 knowledge base.
