There is a bug -thanx to activision

when i load a mod game of mine, the units text says that all fields from attack to fuel are missing(when obviously they are not)
I tryed fixing this by retyping the fields-works for it, but another location comes up...

I dunno what to do

And again: A full error message would be very helpful. Therefore I have to guess. For example if the error located in the unit.txt you get an error message that give you the line where the error is located in the unit.txt. Than there is a second think a misstyping in the file can also cause an error (hard to find). And there is a possible second effect of misstyping: The program is not able to find the following fields after the misstyping.

Hi I had a similiar problem. Check for { and } 's in units.txt make sure they're in the right place (check originals)

the following errors occur:

ERROR: Units.txt: Line####: The required field is missing.

-it tells me all the fields i mentioned above and spins through them every time. ie-gives me 1 error message for each field.
When I retype that area- it fixes for the unnit but it comes back on another one.

Post the part of the file from around that area, including the unit above and below it. It is a lot easier than others trying to recreate the problem.

It would also be interesting to get to know about the line in which the error occurs. You should check these lines, because there should be the error located, and I suppose that the error is there were you have done your modification.

I dont know- you might be more experienced in programming than i am, but:
Didnt you know: the line is only the starting point. It means you have to look around it to find your error.
