<HCCE> Contract Creator Extended [Mod/Tool v1.7]

For everyone who runs into issues since today:

  1. Make backups of your contract files
  2. Uninstall and then reinstall Fiddler
  3. Reinstall my mod if it was deleted
  4. Make sure the Tools > Options > HTTPS settings are the same as in the OP installation guide
  5. Retry to create contracts

If issues keep happening, screenshot what you see and send it to me.
If there are Errors in the Error log folder, send them to me too.

Also check Fiddler itself. If you see an entry like that:

where…

  • the text color is red
  • the Process name is fiddler

Then save the response by right-clicking it and pick this:

…and send me the resulting text file as well.
If you see multiple like this, send them all to me.

The more people send me this the more likely I can fix it for everyone.

If I get sent nothing I assume the issues are resolved.

Briefings should indicate the required exit unless it’s a puzzle contract from a solid creator like yourself. I play so many random contracts with req. exits and the default briefing.

Found and fixed the issue.

For all others, the issue Cybrax found causes this message in the editor:

Unknown error at publishing the contract, check the logs.

With an error log like this:

[some long data text, scroll down until you get past two line breaks]

System.IO.InvalidDataException: The magic number in GZip header is not correct. Make sure you are passing in a GZip stream.
[…]

That issue will be solved for v1.2

If someone has another issue, please read the highlighted post above and contact me. I got no feedback so far so I assume this is the only issue and actually only very few people are affected by it.

For every user of my tool I would like to answer this poll:

What issues with my editor do you have since the backend work from IOI?
  • I don’t use the contract tool
  • I have no issue, the editor works as usual
  • I have the issue as above in this post
  • I don’t understand how to find out if the above is the issue I have
  • I have a different issue

Can you let the tool save .json without publish contract in future?That will help me a lot.

I will see how I can do that without causing confusing situations.

Maybe a prompt after you press “Create Contract” that let’s you chose between: “Create Contract”, “Just save .json” and “Discard”.

You guys are insanely brilliant.

Doomsday Heist 3.1 was the best contract I’ve played in a while. Did I already say that?

@linux_penguin your Paris axe contract took me 32 Fucking minutes.

I took my time :rofl:

The female staff enforcer outside on the crew/stylist side of the map is a pain in every contract. She deserved that axe hurled at her.

Hey how do I add more than 5 targets?

3 Likes

write all targets’ REPO ID in .json . Or just copy one contract’s target from it’s .json to another .json,then recreate contract.

Thanks! Other small question, can I (a PC player without a console) recreate a contract for console? If so, how, and if I can’t, could someone recreate one for me?

I would suggest to try and limit the number of targets.

If things start disappearing it’s a sign the game is not meant to handle this many and you should stop there.

I think you should stop at the targets + objectives (all 9) still fully visible on screen (in game on the left).

Reason why I am saying this is not to be a buzzkill because it’s really cool and stuff! But the people who have access to it are of wide variety some good some bad hardware.

People who might think their game is broken and will complain to IoI.

Also don’t wanna piss of IoI I REALLY wanna keep making use of this tool it’s been my dream to be able to set suits or weapons or have that 6th target! and I don’t want them to take it away!

thread lightly, I guess maybe a response from @Clemens_IOI about their stance on this?

No, you need a valid OAuth token to create on console, and you get that by logging into a console account which is owning H3 + the map the contract is on.
