Instant loss on entering scenario.

[Rowanthepreacher]

Hello there. I'm wondering if any of you kind and particularly virile WML types could solve the problem I've been having. Upon loading a particular scenario, the game tells me that I've instantly lost.

I'll put each of the three potentially important files in a spoiler for you kind chaps and chapesses.

The Port Meiran scenario

and attached is the Port Meiran map.

Thanks in advance for the slew of helpful answers.

[zookeeper]

Side 1 has no leader, and therefore you lose immediately. Add canrecruit=yes to the [side] tag.

[Rowanthepreacher]

Heh. Cheers, Zookeeper. I wouldn't've noticed that in a million years.

EDIT: But it's not the answer I'm looking for. It's still insta-loss on load.

[Kapoue_II]

We can't help much without knowing whats in that {HERO_DEATHS} macro-as I didn't see it in anything you posted.

[Rowanthepreacher]

Ah. sorry. I'm doing this on behalf of Melinath. I didn't realise that HERO_DEATHS wasn't a standard macro. Uh... where would I look for it.

[Mountain_King]

In one of the campaign folders, most likely labeled "macros" or "utils."

[Rowanthepreacher]

Nevermind. Melinath has already fixed it. I forgot to add player start positions.

Now, here's another one, of the exact opposite. The world map gives you a victory as soon as you end turn 1. What's causing this?

[Kapoue_II]

Well, having some of those custom macro's (eg/ the {CONTINUE ......} one) would be nice.....

[Rowanthepreacher]

Damn you, Melinath!

*scurries away to find macros*






*scurries back with macro in hand. Well... buffer.*

#enddef

Hmmmm... I'll have a look at all of the instances of "continue". It's possible that there's a continue without a map specified, which might cause a straight win. I don't know why it would kick in at the end of turn, rather than at the moment, like normal.

[Mountain_King]

I have experienced similar errors before, mostly related to the non-existence of an enemy leader. Is there a

Code: Select all

victory_when_enemies_defeated=no

somewhere in the scenario file? If not, try adding one and seeing what happens.

[Rowanthepreacher]

My firstborn to you, sir!
