I was making an event, but I wrote something wrong. So FRED2 closed. And I can't open my file. This pops out:

Error: C:\FreeSpace2\data\Missions\Shipyard.fs2(line 1028:
Error: Required token = [#Goals] or [$Formula:], found [)] .

File: PARSELO.CPP
Line: 667

Seems like you have an extra bracket somewhere. This is the sort of problem that's very easy to fix if you have a good text editor. If you have one that does line numbers simply load the mission into it (All FS2 Missions and tables are text files) scroll to line 1028 and remove the extra bracket. Should work fine then.

If you don't post it and I'll fix it for you. In fact post it either way. You shouldn't be able to crash FRED just cause you did something wrong so whatever causes this problem ought to be fixed.

kk here you go ...

I removed the bracket for you, but that honestly didn't look like it was the problem.

[karajorma]

Yeah. The mission actually looks fine to me. Going to check more in depth.

[Flexion]

ok ... thnx. It happened when I added the SEXP Modify-Variable.

[Flexion]

OH great ... now I can't even open FRED2 ...

I keep clicking it but I don't work.

"fred2_open_3_6_10-20071007T.exe"

[karajorma]

I see the problem now, its obvious once you remove the bracket and allow FRED to actually load the mission even with errors. You haven't picked a variable for this SEXP

modify-variable
-DockCount[0]
-- +
---DockCount[0]
---1

You've TYPED IN the name of a variable and you've used curly brackets instead of square ones. You can easily avoid this kind of error if you press the right mouse button on the SEXPs and use the pop up menu instead of typing.

Anyway I'm attaching a fixed version.

Ok thnx! ... as for FRED? How can I open it again?

[Colonol Dekker]

All hail Karajorma! Variables both amaze and confuse me, i'll have to reiterate some lost knowledge to myself by looking through some old missions

[Flexion]

lol ... 

[karajorma]

Most likely a simple computer restart will fix whatever is ailing it.

oky dokey ... thnx!
