Title: Bizarre error--can't load a mission file I just made?
Post by: SaltyWaffles on September 25, 2012, 01:34:58 pm: I was just making a mission in FRED2 (3.14 RC7), with the BP2 (WiH p1) mod; everything seemed to be fine.

I went to save it, and...

Failed attempting to reload mission after saving. Report this bug now!

Any idea what the deal is? I had just started the mission, and I entered in some basic Mission Specs, but that's it. No idea what the problem is. I still can't open the mission file.

Post by: General Battuta on September 25, 2012, 01:38:45 pm: Post the mission as a text file (you might have used a semicolon somewhere)
Title: Re: Bizarre error--can't load a mission file I just made?
Post by: SaltyWaffles on September 25, 2012, 03:05:32 pm: Yup, looks like it was a semicolon. I had one in the FRED-Designer notes box. I didn't think it would be an issue there, but it seems I was completely wrong about that.

Thanks!

Post by: General Battuta on September 25, 2012, 03:11:35 pm: Any semicolon anywhere in the mission file will break it.

Post by: Droid803 on September 25, 2012, 03:32:24 pm: The semicolon key should really be disabled for FRED, because all it does is break things.

Buts...I LIKES me semicolons!

Come to think of it, it's pretty much a 'Big Red Button -- Do NOT Press, or ELSE!!!' in functional form. Except for the red part. It really should be red.

Post by: Droid803 on September 25, 2012, 06:25:58 pm: Or maybe the editors in FRED should automatically convert ; to $semicolon (or w/e the alternate semicolon is)

Post by: General Battuta on September 25, 2012, 06:31:28 pm: Some of them do (message editor I think does)
Title: Re: Bizarre error--can't load a mission file I just made?
Post by: karajorma on September 25, 2012, 07:14:48 pm: Message editor does (I know cause I fixed that one) but I don't recall if I fixed others.

I think the briefing one does too, because I remember that it always converted my semicolons to $semicolon. I always wondered why.

Post by: karajorma on September 27, 2012, 08:27:08 pm: Yeah, I can't remember offhand how I fixed it, I thought I did it at the source but it appears that mission notes does things a different way.
