Define macros before the point at which they're used.

the macro is defined in another file -> cots_macros.cfg

I just pasted the code here so you can see what's called.

I don't know where the problem is, but I can say that just about every time I got such an error (about missing a tag that I wasn't really missing), it was due to an unpaired double-quote somewhere else.

Even if most of your code has been used successfully in previous scenarios, it could still have a bug - two stray double-quotes can sometimes cancel each other.

Yeah. The game doesn't tell you where your mistake is, it just tells you at what point it noticed that there's a mistake somewhere.

I checked my utils and scenario for double quotes or missing ones..still couldn't find any. Damn, this is so frustrating! :annoyed:

Debugging by just looking at all your code and trying to see the mistake usually isn't a very effective way of finding them. There's at least one WML debugging sticky in the appropriate subforum.

Well, I removed the 3rd scenario to see if the error is there.
I got another one this time (for the 2nd scenario) -

"Illegal Character found in map. Cannot load scenario"

The map loads perfectly fine in the editor, and everything looks fine...so what does this mean?

Well? Anyone know if this mean the map itself is corrupted or the scenario file is faulty?

try checking the quotes you have around the map include, e.g.

Code: Select all

map_data="{@campaigns/Sceptre_of_Life/maps/Teras_Clench/03_Teras_Clench.map}"
If you have both quotes there, and there's nothing inside of the quotes except for the include, then you probably have a corrupt map file.

If you can't find the problem there, post the relevant code up so we can see it. Good luck!

Code: Select all

[scenario]
  id=02_Ambush
  next_scenario=03_Flight
 
  name=The Raid
  map_data="{campaigns/COTS/maps/02_Ambush}{~campaigns/COTS/maps/02_Ambush}"
this is the scenario begining code

mm, that looks right. Try using scenario 1's map instead of scenario 2's. If that map works, then you can be pretty sure that the problem lies within scenario 2's map. ...in which case you're gonna have a headache trying to search through it for an incorrect symbol. (in case you don't know, map files can be opened up in a text editor, and viewed in-code).

Yup, it was the map. Apparently the file was corrupted somehow :)

Ahh...work continues...I got 5 scenarios so far. They still need tweaking and testing, but I'm making progress :P

Arrr...7 scenarios :)

Things are going at a nice pace. Still, it would be nice to have some help with scripting :wink:
