Game freezes

[chefkoch]

When i include a certain eventfile to the scenariofile, the scenario doesn't load because the game freezes while loading.

event = "db\events\blablabla_xxx.txt" -370 kB, 200 Events
event = "db\events\blablabla_xxx2.txt" -291 kB, 150 Events
event = "db\events\blablabla_xxx3.txt" -188 kB, 95 Events

All three files have the same events, the only differences are countrytags. When i include only the first two files, the game starts. When the third file is included, i get no error message, it just stops loading. What could be the reason for this?

 

[The Swert]

any random events there? I recently had a similar issue and it turned out to be due to the fact that by not including that file the game did not have enough random events to compute.

 

[chefkoch]

There are more than enough random events. In this 3 files are only random events. Additional to the other random event files.

Can you check your files with the online event parser and see what it says?

Can you check your files with the online event parser and see what it says?

* Warning: unlikely token at line 3775 char 295 : '(Note that actions b,c and d include indicated changes to the monarch's Diplomacy and Military ratings which, due to a problem in EU2, may not appear when you hover the cursor.)" '

* Warning: unlikely token at line 3775 char 364 : ''s Diplomacy and Military ratings which, due to a problem in EU2, may not appear when you hover the cursor.)" '

* Warning: unlikely token at line 3775 char 471 : ')" '

But the descriptions are exact the same as in the two other files.

The event description:
"With reports of merchants being harassed, our goods being destroyed at the docks and the enforcement of additional levies, our worsening relations with this nation is beginning to impact on our economy. What stands between us are unresolved issues over borders, sovreignty and excises. (Note that actions b,c and d include indicated changes to the monarch's Diplomacy and Military ratings which, due to a problem in EU2, may not appear when you hover the cursor.)"

No carriage return involved by mistake in the description?

 

[chefkoch]

The problem was a missing quotation sign. o But i still wonder that i got no error message for that.

Thanks to the event parser.

Why don't you use text.csv for events texts? It should ease debugging.

I'm just used to write in the eventfiles and i put only very long texts in the text.csv. It is just more convenient because the errors that are to fix are pretty rare.

Right and I suppose possible translation is not a goal for you. Text.csv is also useful for reusing same descriptions or sentences several times.
