Post Question concerning a particular error
Okay, this is my first post here and I am a total noob with modding (or scripting for that matter) and scene making in CC but I had a few questions about the ingame Scene editor (I like using it because I'm not that much familiar with the scripting when placing objects out of the editor)

Well, I was just wondering if there are any ways of making the scene with several mods easily, because the thing I have done now (I actually don't know if it's okay with everyone, if it isn't then let me know), I have collected the mods I want to use the editor in into a single mod, changing some paths in scripts to fit the new location and making the index.ini of my mod package include all of the mods' .ini files, thus being able to use all the content in the editor, which only allows the scene to be based on one mod. Well, it worked nicely in the scene editor and in skirmish mode as well.

Here comes the problem I have: When I make and save scenes, I have so far been able to use all the modded content too, but recently I again added more mods into the pack. The new stuff works fine in skirmish mode and I can place them in the scene editor and save it as well. But when I restart the game, it gives an error about the *My scene name*.ini file on some line, about the new modded content.

For example, one mod I added was the EE-1 Tempest minigun mod (cheers to the creator)
So in the *My scene name*.ini file, the errored spot was

PlaceSceneObject = HDFirearm
CopyOf = EE-1 Tempest
Position = Vector
X = 1692
Y = 1152
HFlipped = 0

The error itself says that it's referring to a copy from that hasn't been defined, namely the InstanceName EE-1 Tempest (Which matches to the real InstanceName of the gun)
And so it was for evey piece of newly added modded content, whereas old modded content works.

I hope this is not in the wrong board Moved to Mod Making
Any help would be appreciated :)
Thanks in advance

Is the scene in the same RTE as the Tempest?
If not, than that's your problem. You see, Data made it so each other RTE cannot read off another mod RTE, which in B14, caused this problem.

Code:
Blah blah blah Index ID is already assigned to [Material in another RTE].

Well, I've go the Modpack.rte folder where the scene is and inside the Modpack.rte there are the RTEs of the contained mods

Every single one is an RTE, not an usual folder but half of them work with the editor and half don't
For the collecting I copied the mod's RTEs into the Modpack.rte and added Modpack.rte/ to the beginning of every path in the scripts of the mods

(f.e Tempest.rte/TempestGibChassis.bmp changed into Modpack.rte/Tempest.rte/TempestGibChassis.bmp)

Then I created an Index.ini into the Modpack.rte folder and copied all the "IncludeFile" commands from the mods' Indexes into the single one, of course making the necessary path changes

And all of the stuff does work in skirmish mode, I can buy the stuff and use it, but the ones I added last just give an error when I place them on a map and restart the game, the last ones aren't even the same type mods so it shouldn't be a coincidence that any of these doesn't work
