OK im trying to put a new army into the multiplayer scene, and all my changes thusfar are a-ok except for the ones that matter.

I copyd the USA data and changed the names in an atempt to get my own army started.

Im not sure whats wrong but i get missing side error in the multiplayer team/map select screen place, then it crashes if my army isselected to play.

Please help thanx in advance.
Will

P.s. i tryed the search first but after 3 pages of resaults for 'MISSING error' i gave up (there were 900ish resuts)

AntiSocialKindaGuy · 03-20-2005, 03:05 PM

There are two problems here:

-- The MISSING error is because you are missing the strings. They are held in a CSF file (is it English.csf ? ), and can be edited with a CSF editor.

-- The crashing sounds like its an error in the ini of the starting unit / building. Pull up Worldcraft, its a good debugger.

I tried that and got some errors about science, at which point i came across this tutorial: http://gendev.game-mod.net/page.php?...nguard/faction

It is supposed to help you make a new side based on the GLA... which i was prepared to settle on but then it still never worked. So i tried running Worldbuilder again and get 2 errors as follows:

#1
ASSERTION FAILURE: Duplicate science SCIENCE_Scudlauncher!

#2
ASSERTION FAILURE: Error parsing block 'Science' in INI dile Data\INI\Science.ini

Then it closes due to runtime error which is because of the above i assume.

I think this is because the tutorial i used said the science making tutorial wil come later so i copyed the GLA one and changed the name. How can i get around this because im not ready to make the sciences yet?

Wize · 03-20-2005, 04:34 PM

Ahh.. The Error your having is because for some reason the SCIENCE_Scudluancher entry has been entered twice... Go and delete one of the duplicates and then try...

willdud · 03-20-2005, 04:42 PM

The reason its enterd twice is because im using the GLA science tree, Ive deleted it and it complains about the mauroder tanks if i delete tiat it complains about rebel ambush, so i deleted it all and now it complains that i have not defined a science for my new side 'NewRegeim'. Probably because in my PlayerTemplate i was told to put SCIENCE_NewRegeim in the IntrinsicSciences bit.

HELP!

Wize · 03-20-2005, 08:36 PM

Just use an already made science like GLA etc.
