Post Trouble Moving Scene to Individual File
Hello, everyone. I am working on a new scene, and I had it in Base.rte, with all the other scenes. I finished it to my liking, and so tried moving it to its own .rte folder so I could upload it. However, once I moved it Cortex Command started freaking out. Here is the error message:

Code:
Abortion in file .\System\Reader.ccp, line 534, because;
Failed to open included data file in Space.rte/Scene.ini at line 42!
The last frame has been dumped to 'abortscreen.bmp'


All the (four) files are inside the folder Space.rte. Space.bmp (a background image), Space_Terrain (the terrain image), Index.ini, and Scene.ini. The contents of both are below:

Scene.ini
Code:
// Space

AddScene = Scene
   PresetName = Space
   Description = An asteroid field filled with gold. Good luck navigating.
   LocationOnPlanet = Vector
      X = 192
      Y = -100
   // Gravity acceleration, m/s^2
   GlobalAcceleration = Vector
      X = 0
      Y = 0

   // Terrain SceneLayer
   Terrain = SLTerrain
      PresetName = Space Terrain
      BitmapFile = ContentFile
         Path = Space.rte/Space_Terrain.bmp
      WrapX = 0
      WrapY = 0
      ScrollRatio = Vector
         X = 1.0
         Y = -1.0
      BackgroundTexture = ContentFile
         Path = Base.rte/Scenes/Textures/DirtDark.bmp


AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer
      PresetName = Space
      AddToGroup = Far Backdrops
      DrawTransparent = 0
      WrapX = 1
      WrapY = 0
      ScrollRatio = Vector
      X = 0.01
      Y = 12000
   BitmapFile = ContentFile
      Path = Space.rte/Space.bmp

      
   // Team Landing Zones
   AddArea = Area
      AddBox = Box
         Corner = Vector
            X = 0
            Y = 20
         Width = 10000
         Height = 60
      Name = LZ Team 1
   AddArea = Area
      AddBox = Box
         Corner = Vector
            X = 0
            Y = 20
         Width = 10000
         Height = 60
      Name = LZ Team 2
   AddArea = Area
      AddBox = Box
         Corner = Vector
            X = 0
            Y = 20
         Width = 10000
         Height = 60
      Name = LZ Team 3
   AddArea = Area
      AddBox = Box
         Corner = Vector
            X = 0
            Y = 20
         Width = 10000
         Height = 60
      Name = LZ Team 4
      
      
   //Free Landing Zone
   AddArea = Area
      AddBox = Box
         Corner = Vector
            X = 0
            Y = 10
         Width = 4800
         Height = 60
      Name = LZ All


Index.ini
Code:
DataModule
   IncludeFile = Space.rte/Scene.ini


Does anyone know what the error is? Thank you for any help here!

AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer looks like it might be tabbed wrong.
It should be one tab in rather than fully to the left.

Post Re: Trouble Moving Scene to Individual File
Well, changing the tabs didn't work, but I replaced the background layer with the one from Grasslands and it ran fine. The problem, therefore, is in my attempt to make a custom background layer. So, I made my own Backdrops.ini file, made my custom background there, and added a copy of it to my scene.

Code:
   AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer
      CopyOf = Space


Cortex Command didn't recognize my new background, despite it being referenced in my Index file and formatted exactly like the default ones, so I simply checked another user-made scene (Trashlands) to see how they made that work. I simply have to make a copy of an existing background layer and change the bitmap, along with a few other tidbits, like so.

Code:
   AddBackgroundLayer = SceneLayer
      CopyOf = Sky Layer
      ScrollRatio = Vector
         X = 0.01
         Y = 4032
      BitmapFile = ContentFile
         Path = Space.rte/Space.bmp


Thank you for your help, Asatruer. You helped point me in the right direction, instead of flopping about like a fish out of water :P
I appreciate it!
