overriding railpathfinder

Post by Hephi »

Hi, I was trying to fix an error in MailAI (several years late).
When running the current version that's available it seems to be running fine at the start.
When running a slightly altered version for testing it throws an error in a part I haven't altered.

It throws 'the index MyRailPF does not exist' when running the code 'local railfinder = MyRailPF();'
When I try looking for MyRailPF() it does not exist anywhere in my .nut files.
I'm pretty sure it is some kind of altered version of the pathfinder.rail but all I have for that is one overridden method in my main.nut

import("Pathfinder.Rail", "RailPathFinder", 1);
class MyRailPathFinder extends RailPathFinder {}
function MyRailPathFinder::_Estimate(cur_tile, cur_direction, goal_tiles, self) {
local est = ::RailPathFinder._Estimate(cur_tile, cur_direction, goal_tiles, self);
return abs(est * 1.3);
}

This is all long ago, and I know I'm providing very little info above. But is there anyone who can direct me as to where to look for info on how to override railpathfinder?

Found the problem, because I'm a sloppy non professional programmer my code is spaghetti with bad naming conventions, I renamed the class but forgot to check all places where it is used.

class MyRailPF extends RailPathFinder {} became class MyRailPathFinder extends RailPathFinder {}
