Title: Argh.
Post by: NGTM-1R on July 29, 2005, 10:11:49 pm

I seem to have a spontantously corrupted mission.  I've looked it over in notepad and can't figure out what the parser is on about...perhaps somebody here can.

Error: C:\FS2_Open\data\missions\Come As You Are.fs2(1632):
Error: Required token = [+Name:], found [$MessageNew:  XSTR("", -1)] .

Found it.  The required token is in your second Primary mission goal.

#Goals      ;! 2 total

$Type: Primary
+Name: Patrol
$MessageNew:  XSTR("Patrol", -1)
$end_multi_text
$Formula: ( and
   ( not
      ( is-destroyed-delay
         0
         "Athens Station"
      )
   )
   ( and
      ( has-departed-delay 0 "Hedjet" )
      ( has-departed-delay 0 "Ibu" )
   )
)

$Type: Primary
+Name: XXXXX
$MessageNew:  XSTR("", -1)
$end_multi_text
$Formula: ( and
   ( not
      ( is-destroyed-delay 0 "Syracuse" )
   )
   ( and
      ( has-departed-delay 0 "Ibu" )
      ( has-departed-delay 0 "Mecross" )
   )
)

I put the +Name: XXXXX where your data is missing from in the above quote.

Later!

Nice work TP. I though I was going to have to wake a up a little more and do it myself :)

I just had to look through areas where it needed "+Name:" instead of "$Name:" like most were.  Then, among those, look for those that would be followed by "$MessageNew:", which narrowed it down to "goals".  After that, it was easy.

Yeah. Although they seem a little cryptic to most I find that kind of error one of the best.

If you know what you're doing you can find the cause of your problem  pretty quickly. :)
