Nothing looks wrong here. So is Andrew blind as a bat or is there something else to this?

[headdie]

what happens when you run the mod with the TE entries removed from asteroid.tbl

[AndrewofDoom]

Well I go rid of all the TE species and all its references for that and it worked.

flyby sounds part of sounds.tbl

Code: [Select]

;
; Each species can have up to 4 different flyby sounds
; NOTE : the parse code expects to see exactly 2 sounds for terran, then 2 for vasudan, then 2 for shivan
;        the first sound for each species is the fighter/small flyby sound. the second is the bomber/big flyby sound

Well I go rid of all the TE species and all its references for that and it worked.

What am I doing wrong?! The only possibilities are the icons and sounds table...

Nope. Its not the icons or sounds table (at least for the assertion that you posted about in the OP).

The problem is the species name is TE.  Asteroids are matched to the their species with by checking if the asteroid name contains a case insensitive substring of the species name.

That is, for species TE anything asteroid that contains TE in its name is considered a TE debris.  Which means that Small Asteroid, Medium Asteroid, and Large Asteroid are considered to belong to species TE, as well as TE Debris 1, TE Debris 2, and TE Debris 3 are also considered to belong to species TE.  This results in species TE having more than the limit of 3 different debris.

Shortly, pick a longer/different species name for the Terran Empire and Humans of Earth (Solians).

...So that was the problem? Wow...and I would have never known that either. Well, thanks a bundle.

That's some clever sleuthing, Iss Mneur.

Would you like to augment the error message so that it prints out which asteroids/debris pieces are counted towards the total?

[mjn.mixael]

Indeed. I think it's worth mentioning that the error messages regarding the number of species, asteroids, icons, and sounds are somewhat unclear. When I changed the number of species before, I had to do all kinds of forum and Wiki digging to learn what I had missed because the error messages just didn't give me much information (that I could understand).

Yes. The engine can be pretty obtuse in regards to the less common features and error modes.  Though I suppose we should be happy that it, whines even if it is not obvious what the problem is.

Its on the todo list. I will try and whip something up this weekend (but I don't know for sure, it depends on how work goes).

Committed changes in 8693 that remove the cause of the assert in the OP by fixing the asteroid.tbl parser.
