Main.cfg what goes in it?

is this what you meant?
Because this doesn't gets an error message saying the game can't load the add-on.

The engine probably reads it as a very long textdomain, which is syntactically correct, so no error message.
And yes, you should really put every key/tag on a new line.

blueknight: No.
This time, you've got 3 lines:

Code: Select all

#textdomain wesnoth-Apocylyptic_Era[binary_path]    path=data/add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/ 
[/binary_path][textdomain] name="wesnoth-Apocylyptic_Era" path="data/add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/translations"
[/textdomain] #ifdef MULTIPLAYER #define APOCYLYPTIC_ERA #enddef #endif #ifdef APOCYLYPTIC_ERA#Macros{~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/macros/}{~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/macros/abilities.cfg}{~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/era.cfg}[+units]{~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/units/}{~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/images/units/tribals}[/units]#enddef

Either you didn't understand me or you're using a bad text editor (in which case I would second the suggestion from above to use Notepad++).
It should look like this:

Code: Select all

#textdomain wesnoth-Apocylyptic_Era
[binary_path]
    path=data/add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/ 
[/binary_path]
[textdomain]
    name="wesnoth-Apocylyptic_Era"
    path="data/add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/translations"
[/textdomain]
#ifdef MULTIPLAYER
#define APOCYLYPTIC_ERA
#enddef
#endif

#ifdef APOCYLYPTIC_ERA
# Macros
{~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/macros/}
{~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/macros/abilities.cfg}
{~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/era.cfg}
[+units]
    {~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/units/}
    {~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/images/units/tribals}
[/units]
#enddef

However, I don't think that including "~add-ons/Apocylyptic_Era/images/units/tribals" is useful, because I don't suppose there are any .cfgs. You only need to include all directories which contain these files (you may have meant to include ~add-ons/Apocylyptic_era/units/tribals instead).

With the first one i get an unexpected #enddef#ifdef
but the second i getor #ifndef not terminated error
can someone tell me where this #enddef should go?

Ceres · Post by **Ceres** » June 27th, 2011, 3:21 pm

#ifdef is terminated with #endif.
#define is terminated with #enddef.
You mixed up those on the first one.

The problem with the second one is exactly what it says. You didn't terminate #ifdef (both of 'em).

Ah thanks that should help.

blueknight1758 · Post by **blueknight1758** » June 27th, 2011, 4:55 pm

With this version the game boots up normally but i don't get the option to choose the era in the multiplayer screen.
Is there anything wrong with my main file or is something wrong with my era file?

You have an #ifdef APOCYLYPTIC_ERA but APOCYLYPTIC_ERA is never defined anywhere.

Also, the word is "apocalyptic".

blueknight1758 · Post by **blueknight1758** » June 27th, 2011, 5:08 pm

So to fix it i would define APOCYLYPTIC_ERA? How do i do this if it is what i should be doing?

:EDIT I deleted #ifdef APOCYLYPTIC_ERA and one #endif and it works now thanks guys.

blueknight1758 · Post by **blueknight1758** » June 27th, 2011, 7:02 pm

when i try and upload my add-on with this _server.pbl i get an #error you didn't specify a type when i have specified "era" can anyone see a problem?

Don't do this. Then your units will be loaded always, no matter which era is selected (IIRC).
Better use the define= key of the [campaign] tag: CampaignWML

And regarding the .pbl file, it says exactly what is wrong: You didn't specify a type= argument: PblWML#type

Wrong; that's the only way to do it and how every era does it.

I've sorted the .pbl and it's now on the 1.9 add-on server as apocylyptic era
And in the next version Ill of fixed the spelling error in apocalyptic thanks zookeeper.

Ah, right, sorry. I mixed up campaign and era WML. My fault.

Then please disregard my post.
