new ship
« on: April 06, 2011, 00:28:18 »
Hi,
I've put a new ship in my mod.
But then a prevoius ship which i've put 3 day's before that doesn't work anymore.
In fact the whole mod doesn't work anymore wtih any of the original ships.
Even if i remove the two new ships.

I get this message




Line 260 is exactly the same as the original shipclass i.e.  Cruiser. There's no difference.

I've tried evrything already.
Replacing the old tactics.ini file with a new one and removing and putting every ship i have back in the tactics.ini file.
Because there is where i think the problem must be. I've even removed the mod from the register.
I can't think of anything else.
Does someone knows what the heck is wrong? :(

Try removing the serial line from your new ships, or remove NDF from the line either one might fix it. If not would you mind sending me your mod so I can check over your files?

On a side note: The serial line will do nothing unless your ship has the special texture for the serial to be displayed on the ship. So you won't need it unless you are setting that up.

It didn't work. Because after that the mission editor just said that the next line is invalid.
I slept because it was already 02:30 in The Hague.
Today i tought that i will put the 4 ship models in the Nexus Skirmisher SP Settings Mod and build everything in that tacticts.ini. There everything worked just fine. So i copy pasted the ini.file in my experimental mod and booom rock and roll.
Blasting time again. LOL  ;D
Thanks very much for the support dude.

Sounds to me like line 259 was to blame. Very likely a missing closing quotation mark after the mesh's name, e.g.:

Code: [Select]
Mesh "earth\main\corvett
Serial "NDF FR.%03u"

This will generate exactly the kind of error you got there.

So you mean after the   corvett   there are no  closing quotation mark (")?
I've kept a copy of the faulty ini and..it's amazing Arparso.
You are 100% right.

I really can not believe that i missed it. >:(
I checked and rechecked everything, made a new ini file but ofcourse
i copy pasted the old ini with the error! :-[
Only after making it totally from the ground up it worked.

Well i am knocking my head right now, but i've learned something again.
Thanks very much for the correct answer to this error. ;)
