The problem comes from not having had my computer for six weeks. But I needed to continue working on new material and debugging heavily (thanks again, Aegnor!). The computer is now back, I added a bit more, parsed all the event files and cleaned them entirely, and then ran the game.

By this time, there had been a lot of changes to many files and others were entirely new.

The game won't load past a certain point. I need help trying to get it working, please anyone with time to spare work on the file and locate the problem.

Here are the diagnostics to assist you:

1. I get through to selecting a scario, selecting a country and then hitting Start. I guess means that the .eug file is being read OK.

2. The first time, it found a doubled monarch id in the Guyenne file (monarchs.aqu) and stalled about a half second after that. I altered that file, ran it again and it appears to freeze at basically the same point.

3. So, it at least starts to read files, which is good. I tried removing the suspicious monarch file (monarchs.naf) but the problem did not go away.

4. My main concern is with the Tlemcen (tag = naf) material, as I have removed everything to do with Algiers (ald), Tunis (tun) and Tripoli (tri) from the .eug file and their .inc files and added .naf in their place. It might not be the cause, but I may have missed something.

5. I ran Norton anti-virus 2006 and the folder is clean.

6. That's all I can offer at this point. I simply don't have the time to write this post, let alone remove more files and run again and again and again.

7. Knowing that it got as far as just beyond the monarchs.aqu file, one test would be to place deliberate faults in later monarch files to see if it gets as far as them, and slowly work back up the list alphabetically. No time, I'm afraid.

Please help. Matty :confused: :wacko: :eek:o


The faulty Aberration Beta 6 is located here.
 
As soon i'm back at home i try...
 
The problem is in the monarchs.aqu file, in particular with Sicard lo vescoms Lautragues (id = 36237). The remark is missing the terminating ".
Fixing that means the programme won't hang, but there still will be error messages:

monarchs.auv twice uses febraury instead of february
leaders.pur has two leaders with id = 34974
leaders.yor has two leaders with id = 36376
ABII_Epochal_Gaul.txt has two events with id 433042, 433023
ABII_Epochal_Mediterranean.txt has two events with id 466151
ABII_Hansa_HSA.txt has two events with id 442584
ABII_Guyenne_AQU.txt has event 427951, with broken syntax in line 874 ( the line command = { type = ai which = ")

And a few more that are probably best left too somebody who actually understands EU2 modding

Looking through the monarchs.aqu file, I also noticed that Marguerite II (id 36213) and Charles XII (id 36218) have start and death dates on the same day. Then again, I don't know anything about EU2 modding, so maybe there is a good reason for this.
 
Thanks,

I couldn't find the error. How did you? You can't be as bad at modding as you say if you found that. Are you able to use the katica programs for leaders and monarchs on your computer? I can't understand their gobbledigook on how it works ... :wacko:

The rest of the problems I can deal with just fine, and I need the ability to run the game to locate them.

Thanks again, idlf.

Since you said files are read in alphabetical order, I could use a kind of binary search, that is do what you suggested in in 7, but instead of trying every file, always put it in the middle of the potentially faulty files. Then repeat this in the faulty file.

I never heard of it until now, but it seems to work. I can post the output here if you want to.

You're welcome, although I'd like to point out that I have nothing to do with this guy, except presumably similar thoughts when registering.

Do you made the changes and upload corrected file Idont ?
 
Ok i do some correction and go ahead...

Code: 
monarchs.auv twice uses febraury [B]corrected[/B]
leaders.pur has two leaders with id = 34974 -> [B]corrected[/B]
leaders.yor has two leaders with id = 36376 -> [B]corrected / Renumbering[/B]
ABII_Epochal_Gaul.txt has two events with id 433042, 433023 [B]Renumbered[/B] 
ABII_Epochal_Mediterranean.txt has two events with id 466151 [B]gived 466100 not used[/B]
ABII_Hansa_HSA.txt has two events with id 442584 -> [B]renumbered[/B]
ABII_Guyenne_AQU.txt has event 427951, with broken syntax in line 874 ( the line command = { type = ai which = ")
[B]line was #ed[/B]

The two leader with strange date was temporary deleted...

I still have trouble with epochal_gaul

Still Searching...

I have already corrected those in my master version, but thanks Crio.

The 433033 etc id clashes are weird. I have not yet tracked down the issues and can find no event duplication.....
 
No it say : Type Mismatch
Its normally a syntax error but i didn't find it
 
Me either.

I'm sure we'll find it ....
 
The first erroneous message come with 433001, the first event... but if i delete it Error jump at 433002... There is no event file before and Last Leader File seems ok...

What can it be ?

Event.txt file had two references to epochal_gaul forcing it to double load the file.

What an amateur I am.

All solved now, all good.
