Modding woes

[Guest radicaldude1234]

I try adding some units and their corresponding CSF strings, corrected it seems everything. It still says "You have encountered a serious error..." anyone know what I could have forgotten?

What kind of things are you doing? If you put a unit that fires nukes with a relead rate of 1second it may well crash the game, or a nuke with a spread of 100 cells etc...

Are you sure that you have covered everything about those new units? Weapons, prerequiste etc.

This could be numerous things. It could be a weapon issue, warhead problem, missing HVA or missing art entry.

 

When does the error occur and what kind of unit is it?

Certain weapon types used as a unit weapon (such as ion cannon in TS) will cause problems. Some settings on the unit can cause problems if the game no longer supports them. There are so many things that could be wrong the best thing to do is probably do changes one at a time and try them each until you find what does it. Slow, but faster than pure guess work.

 

What game are you modding anyway? If you find a problem unit post the rules.ini for it and maybe we'll see something.

Actually, all superweapon systems can be used as unit weapons and sometimes with satisfying results.

 

The Ion Cannon for example can be used perfectly in RA2/YR but not as a superweapon mind you. You can attach it to any unit as long as you edit it properly.

 

The error probably stems from something else. Most likely a typo on the weapon statement or the warhead statement. It could even be an art problem as well.
