Won't load first scenario

[Krake]

I am making a campaign and have tested the first few scenarios but suddenly it doesn't seem to find the first scenario and I can't figure out why. I haven't changed anything in the scenario or the _main.cfg file so there is no reason why it shouldn't work now when it was working fine before. Any ideas why?

_main.cfg

main file

(1.61 KiB) Downloaded 102 times

the-recruits-part1.cfg

first scenario

(2.93 KiB) Downloaded 97 times

[zookeeper]

Mismatch:

define="CAMPAIGN_THE_ORCISH_SPIDER"

#ifdef CAMPAIGN_TOS

[Krake]

Thanks but it still doesn't work.

[Heindal]

Try changing

the-recruits-part1

to

the_recruits_part1

in both scenario and main.

[Krake]

That's not the problem. I've already tried changing the name and it worked fine before with the current name.

Seems nobody has any ideas. Try to upload the whole add-on, maybe without pictures, in a zip archive here, so that we could experiment with it.

[Krake]

Good idea Dugi. Since units usually appear even though the related image is non existing it should be fine but if it is not I can try to fix that.

What does that mean? There's obviously a lot of ways how something might "not work".

For me, your latest attachment results in the game quitting back to desktop with the last line in stderr.txt being "Ran out of memory. Aborted.". That implies that you have a cyclic WML include somewhere (that is, file A includes file B which includes file A).

[Krake]

Ok. I'll see if I can find any such code (though I have no idea where to look. I have tried stripping everything out except main and first scenario and it still doesn't work). I didn't get any error message except "error: unknown scenario:...".

[zookeeper]

After taking a closer look, there appears to be no such cyclic includes.

However, removing all scenario files except the one for the first scenario allows the campaign to start normally, so whatever is wrong is contained in some of the other scenario files, so you can at least narrow it down to a single file.

There's no closing quote in this piece of text from "The Sourceress"...that may well be the issue.

Yes, that's it. I had almost found it already, but you beat me to it.

Anyway, there's plenty more to fix. The map include path for scenario 7 is wrong, there's two TELEPORT_UNIT calls with only "Livia" as the first argument (should be id=Livia), and both 6 and 7 try to pass ".siege_of_laurelmorogg" as a music track.

Yeah I noticed. I had missed stuff like that before but this time I got no error messages except the game just quitted. Anyway it seems to work now. Big thanks to all of you, it was really helpful.

No worries. I only recognise the problem because I've made that mistake before.

A few times.
