Hello all.

I started making this new test mod, and I've gotten to the phase where I need to test offsets and compile the mod. So I made a DataModule, ran CC a few times, debugged as needed, then I finally got to the end of the .ini file with zero errors when CC suddenly crashed with this message:

Here's the AbortScreen:

I have tried everything from changing the name of the .rte to deleting and moving characters and lines around in the .ini. No matter what I do, CC always crashes when reading the last character of the last line in the Index. The Index looks like this:

I would very much appreciate any help/advice/comments that anyone has on this matter, and advice from professionals (DRL, weegee, Duh102, Abdul Ahzared, Shook, Geti, Cave Cricket, etc.,) is especially welcome.

Thank you all.

Without more info all I can say is that its probably corrupt. Retype the file, don't copy anything from the old one.
Check for extra spaces you may have put anywhere by accident.

I tried what you said CrazyMLC, but to no avail. It still crashes on the last line. What other information do you need?

I'd need the rte itself, but I might have missed something.

See if "Weapons.ini" has faulty coding.

I checked that, but two things are going against it being a problem with the lesser .ini files:

1)I can change the order in which the .ini's are listed and it will always give me a problem about the last one
2)

Joe supplied me the rte and the filepath for actors.ini is incorrect.

Sorry, I'm not quite following...

Code:
//   IncludeFile = AssaultMachUnited.rte/Actors/Apothecore.ini

The .rte name is incorrect.
Apothecore.ini does not exist.

EDIT: sorry if you misunderstood me, I meant IN actors.ini.

Okay, I fixed that and added a blank Apothecore.ini, but it was commented out anyway so I don't see how that would affect it (it's also giving me the same message)

Its the only error I can spot, so I just pointed it out.
Everything seems perfect, I can't imagine what could be wrong with it.

EDIT: well, weapons.ini needs a tab before the infludefile.
So does the file included in weapons.ini.

Can't believe I didn't see that before. X_X

So we can fix it.
