I'm seriously about to quit this game altogether because of these idiotic error messages I am getting.

What the *** does it mean it doesn't understand the type token, it's the correct *** entity type to be using there. It appears in that place in every other spawn point reference I can find in every other gen file I've examined. What the hell does it want from me?

I think I know what may be causing this. I spent 3-4 hours with the same issue until I felt like bashing my head into the keyboard.

It turned out that I was introducing the spawn point into the wrong part of my sectorgen.java file. I was calling my spawn points after the end " } " for the initial "public class."

What was causing the error looked something like this:

Code

<all of the sector generation stuff> 
}
<spawnpoint info>

The error disappeared when I moved the bracket to be like this:

Code

<all of the sector generation stuff> 
<spawnpoint info>
}

Took me a good several hours of troubleshooting to find that. It's not understanding the tokens and other spawnpoint stuff because the file no longer thinks the spawnpoint is part of the sector generation script because of bad bracket placement. At least that was the problem in my case.

Just post the WIP of the mod

It's really hard to see exactly where you've gone wrong otherwise, but it's almost certainly something small and easily fixed / explained.  Stuff like that error Zaphide pointed out where you're trying to send int, int, instead of float, int is usually fixable by casting the variable to (float) when calling the class, for example.

don't make fun of my poorly priced out weapons and hulls, I'm still trying to get more data to price them by.

I know this all can be frustrating, because the error messages are crap. However:

Install Netbeans.
Setup Netbeans: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=3173.0
NEVER deal with this *** again.

You will fix all of these problems in seconds because the IDE constantly checks your usages. Any errors are underlined in red, with a MUCH better explanation of whats going on.

You'll still need to properly structure things, but no longer will calling or syntax errors ever bother you.

[oranoron]

Yeah, I honestly don't understand this any better now than before. It is finding so many errors in the files in question I don't know where to event start, I literally can't make heads or tails of what Ive done differently than anyone else unless everyone else is modifying their Fleet API files...

Edit: I think I am missing another file somewhere that other people have been using to add references or something but looking through other people's mods I cant figure out what.

[oranoron]

OK I'm still getting just as many errors but I think I know what the problem may be related to. The game / netbeans cannot access my Faction file. I think this is why it doesn't know what the "instrumentality" type is. However it is listed in my csv file so I'm not sure.

[xenoargh]

Here's a fixed version of your mod.  Took longer to set it up in Netbeans than to debug it

Highlights:

1.  You need to read the API requirements for various functions. 

2.  You can't use a variable you haven't initialized yet.

Anyhow, here's a working version

[oranoron]

You are the best!

[xenoargh]

In reply to your bit about "not enough spawns", you need to read the specifications on spawnpoints; basically, there's a variable for how many max fleets to spawn, and you've set it to 1, lol.

See, here, you're creating a new instance of instrumentalitySpawnPoint:

Code: java

system.addSpawnPoint(new instrumentalitySpawnPoint(sector, system, 14f, 1, instrumentalityStation));

See that int maxFleets?  That's what the "1" is controlling.  Change that number above from 1 to 20, voila.

Code: java

instrumentalitySpawnPoint(SectorAPI sector, LocationAPI location, float daysInterval, int maxFleets, SectorEntityToken anchor)

That's what I mean about reading the API stuff; if you're using functions and you don't even know what the numbers / objects mean, you're going to get into trouble, fast.  Just how it goes, but most of this is documented quite nicely in the API

[Trylobot]

@oranoron: If you're trying to develop outside of an IDE, you're always going to have these kinds of headaches. Please follow Thaago's suggestion, and try to setup Netbeans correctly. Yes, there is a tutorial on how to do this.

quick guide on how to read an error log

the important bit (tells you what you did wrong)

Code

Caused by: org.codehaus.commons.compiler.CompileException: File data/scripts/world/instrumentalityGen.java, 
Line 104, Column 25: No applicable constructor/method found for actual parameters "com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorAPI, 
com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.StarSystemAPI, int, int, com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorEntityToken, 
com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.PlanetAPI, com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorEntityToken"; candidates are: 
"data.scripts.world.instrumentalitySpawnPoint(com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorAPI, com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.LocationAPI, float, 
int, com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorEntityToken)"

what this means:
you have an error
in the file data/scripts/world/instrumentalityGen.java
at line Line 104
starting with character 25 on that line
what you did wrong: "No applicable constructor/method found for actual parameters"
look under the headings:

Spoiler

"com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorAPI, com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.StarSystemAPI, int, int, com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorEntityToken, com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.PlanetAPI, com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorEntityToken"

[close]

in the Starsector Java doc

what it would like to have for you to fix this problem: "data.scripts.world.instrumentalitySpawnPoint(com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorAPI, com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.LocationAPI, float, int, com.fs.starfarer.api.campaign.SectorEntityToken)"

the errors you are getting are actualy more or less self explanatory, you should the errors Iget with my scripts, they basicly say "halp it is break desu" with no aditional info

also I agree get netbeans, or IntelliJ IDEA (more usefull for java starters cause its smart(literaly codes for you in some cases))
both are free, but I prefer the later
