Tech Tree Problems

Owlman · #1 July 15th, 2002, 07:51 PM

I tried to make a Disruptive energy tech area. So I went to the tech area txt. and copied the area with the meson bLasters and renamed it disruptive energy. Before I used the component editor to make disrupters I went to be sure that the game had my tech area. It said there was an arror and refused to let me even play. Anyone help? Do I need to add the compnents first or what?

Hmm, let's see your files... maybe someone can make some sense out of them...

Most common problem for any of the text files is a "double line" between sections. But (IIRC) that shouldn't cause a fatal error.

Unless the game is upset about changing data files; were you starting a new game with the new techarea.txt, or continuing an existing game? Note that this error would be more related to a multiplayer game where the host machine's data files are different than the player machine's data files.

For techarea.txt, not certain what else could be the problem...
