MSJ

I made a new unit using the MRJ image, and whenever I build it, the game crashes! Surprised

What did I do wrong?

There could also be somthing wrong with the weapon itself, projectile, warhead entries and the like.. Post the rules entries here, and we'll see what the problem is.

what's the image? what's MSJ anyway? was it in the game?

and get what out of tibsun.mix? the MSJ vxl? yes, if it's there, put it into your own expand mix file with a hva of the same name

MSJ is Mobile Systems Jammer uses MRJ image... I really don't understand what is wrong with Venom's code...

John Galt · Posted: Sun Oct 26, 2003 1:28 pm Post subject:

Catagory, that's what...
DamageParticalSystems don't help either...
Can a missing Locomotor cause a crash? Because you don't have one... However, I think it only makes the tank chrono...

Makes me think: maybe I should change INI Checker to check every tag instead of limiting it to those referenced into other sections, such as weapons, images, owners, etc... Question

It will slow down the check process seriously, though.

Banshee · Posted: Sun Oct 26, 2003 1:35 pm Post subject:

hmmm... omg, spelling is really terrible on that code... I mean... Locomoter? and also the ones Nobody mentioned :S....

John Galt · Posted: Sun Oct 26, 2003 1:53 pm Post subject:

BTW, fremen5, I can predict your next question:

"Why won't my tank obey my prerequisites?, why doesn't it require EM Pulse Cannon? Sad

"

Banshee · Posted: Sun Oct 26, 2003 2:04 pm Post subject:

and I predict the answer

- Because it's Prerequisite (not in plural)

Code:

Prerequisite=NAWEAP,NAPULS

Fremen5 · Posted: Sun Oct 26, 2003 3:17 pm Post subject:

okay, thanks for the answers, everybody

Fremen, you should copy and paste from other units, it helps avoid these problems

That is exactly what I do... although I still have spelling problems when I add my own crap (I'm gunna get a dictionary and keep it next to my compter [I already printed off all the ini terms to check my spelling])

you can't do everything for the user ... at some point the user needs to know what he/she is doing.

maybe it would be ok, if the user could turn off that feature.

Fremen, push the submit button only once in the forums for starters, now what they are talking about copying and pasting is another unit, you find a unit doesn't matter what, copy it and paste it below that unit and change the copy to a new unit

dont worry about double posts here... the server fails sometimes (cut conection in the middle of the request) making Internet Explorer display a 404 message. The same doesnt happen with Konqueror, the KDE browser. Konqueror shows the downloaded part of the site. Anyway, I'm wipping any double post I see around...

It's an INI editor that can check for some common problems.
