My era not selectable :\

[gesmehod]

Hi, I've only got 1 unit so far but I wanted to make it an era to try it out.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

That doesn't look obviously wrong to you? Copy an existing add-on era's _main.cfg and work from there.

Lol I made this at 5 in the morning, I'm surprised it's not worse. XD

Ok I figured I'd try a campaign instead to start with.

#endif

And it gives me the error:

"Unexpected characters at line start, value '_' at ~add-ons/Ants/_main.cfg:38"

I feel like I'm getting close.

You can't start a line as you want. Every line must start with a valid key.

Code: Select all

description=
_ "Ants

" + _ "..."

must be

Code: Select all

description= _ "Ants" + _ "..."

You can't start a line as you want. Every line must start with a valid key.

no. it can span multiple lines. looks like it has to start in the first line though. this should work:

Code: Select all

description=_ "Ants

" + _ "..."

[mich]

Yes, I know that. It was just to make things easier to explain. And yes, the result is a little different, but at least for the moment the important thing is to make the campaign to work.

Whoa, turns out the problem was pretty weird. There were spaces in the code I couldn't see, but pasting it in the post revealed them. My "race" file had several phantom spacebars as well.

This is a problem I've encountered using Windows Notepad. The same would probably happen with any similarly simple text editor. I've fixed the problem by switching to Notepad++, which shows all the new lines that don't show up on Notepad. Makes some of my WML unbearably hard to read now...
