Can someone explain what this error means, aside from line 4 of Index.ini is having issues? I can see which file it's referring to, and from what I can tell, they're all setup correctly. This is my custom campaign that I'm trying to put together into it's own .rte folder structure, and for the life of me, I can't figure out what's going on here.

Any thoughts/hints/suggestions/maulings?

What's on line 4? It's a bad pointer or something like that.

Below are the contents of Index.ini:

DataModule
IncludeFile = Maps - Objects/Index.ini
IncludeFile = Maps - Objects/Objects.ini
IncludeFile = Missions.rte/Materials.ini
IncludeFile = Missions.rte/Scenes.ini
IncludeFile = Missions.rte/Earth 2.ini
IncludeFile = Missions.rte/Editor Big.ini

Am I correct in assuming that it is having an issue with either Missions.rte/Materials.ini (fourth line from the top) or Scenes.ini (4th line from the start of the group)?

Either way, both seem to be pointing to the correct folders as far as I can tell. I tried to follow all the paths within the files to the other files they are supposed to link to, and that all seemed ok. /boggle

IncludeFile = Missions.rte/Materials.ini

That doesn't exist.


EDIT:
IncludeFile = Missions.rte/Earth 2.ini
IncludeFile = Missions.rte/Editor Big.ini

Neither do these, what exactly are you doing here?

Missions.rte is already in CC though, you shouldn't be using it at all except to use a file that is already in there.

I'm just using it as a subfolder under Campaign X.rte

That doesn't work, make it called Missions.

Then change those lines to just say Campaigns X.rte/Missions/<filenamehere>.ini

The way you are doing it is the standard method of referencing outside .rte modules, which means it's looking for those files in the original cortex command Missions.rte.




Actually, taking a second look at what you posted, it looks like you are trying some really strange stuff with structure here, using one Index.ini to initiate parsing on another that's in a non-.rte folder.

Gotcha - will try that and see what I get.

Now I'm getting another error relating to a minor change I made, so I'll delve into that for a bit and see where I end up. On the bright side, I'm no longer getting the original error, so that inherently means progress methinks.

Ok - I'm stuck again...



Again, no clue whats going on here, aside from it can't seem to find the terrain file.

File structure of the folder is as follows:
Campaign X.rte
> Missions
> > Scenes
> > > Mission 1 - Data Mining.ini
> > > Mission 2 - Into the Depths.ini
> > Textures
> > > (all mytexture bitmaps)
> > (all my map bitmaps)
> > Earth2.ini
> > EditorBig.ini
> > Materials.ini
> > Scenes.ini
> Objects
> > (all my object bitmaps)
> > Objects.ini
>Index.ini

You are trying to create a mission that contains a map file that you haven't created yet.

Textures/Scenes --> Objects --> Full Maps would be proper order.

But I have created it, its in there with the map bitmaps under missions.

Uh, then where is the .bmp extension?

Either you messed up the pointer or you are trying to use something from a file that hasn't been read yet/that comes up later in the same file. Everything has to be in order or it won't work.

Its in amongst my map bitmaps - I just didnt type any of the bitmaps out because theres 5 or 6 in each folder (I put (all xxxxx bitmaps instead)... backgrounds, skies, terrains. It's there in with the skies and the other terrain, named EditorBig.bmp.

Ok - same campaign, different map, different error. This error just has the hex code information though, so there isnt much I can derive from it. It only occurs when I actually go to play/edit this particular map, not when CC is loading.

Any help would be appreciated.
