What is wrong with my Victoria?

[robou]

Hi,
Some of you may have noticed my "Modding Error?!?!" thread and replied to it but i may have sussed what is going on. I have a feeling there is something wrong with my victoria (not just the core file, i have tons of copies dotted everywhere). Anytime i put just a single event or anything into any of the copies it refuses to work. It just stalls and i have to end the game. Any idea what could be wrong? all other things in the game run like clock work
thanks
Rob
EDIT: damn i posted this in the wrong bit accidently, can i MOD move it please

Are you using Vista? I don't know of any issues with Vista re modding but I don't have Vista either so can not be 100% sure.

if you close Victoria and start up again, does the game load fine with the new events?

no, everytime i try to load it up (tried on various copies 20 or so times) it just stalls at the 'Reading Scenario' part and i have to exit the program. There is no message saying "something wrong with the event" or anything, and i have double checked over all the modding i have done to make sure it is correct.

check all your brackets in your events that you added, it sounds to me like you may have missed a } or a { somewhere, and that is what is causing the game to hang while loading scenario - it can't complete reading of an event file due to a missing bracket.

however, i can't have missed bracket on several different files on different copies surely? i will have a check but i can't seem to think missing anything

all it would take is missing it in one file to cause a hang.

edit - and it may not be a missing bracket, if you have an extra bracket somewhere that can cause an issue as well.

i will be sure to check for that as well. Also, it seems i was slightly wrong, not ALL modding destroys the game. I modded in some different colour schemes for some countries on my VIP. However, i typed in Light_Green for Two Scilies and when i loaded it up i came out as a deep yellow :wacko: (same colour as tuscany is), any explanation?

did you make the changes to the color file that were suggested to speed up the game? those changes mean that the colors do not match up correctly.

no changes to the colour file no, should i change anything now? My attempted change of colour was due to me seeing several VIP screenshots of the light_green colour for TS which i much prefered, while mine was still and orangey colour.
