Post Mod Help Regarding Crafts
I have been trying to get my crafts to load, buy I always get and error say it cant even load the files even though I have the correct path. Can someone look at my mod and help me figure out what is wrong. The crafts are in the "Actors" section, just like in the Base.rte .

I have been working on this for 10+ Hours and I have tried everything I can think of, but to no avail.

You are trying to access RDI.rte/Actors/Crafts/Crate.ini from Actors.ini, but no file with the name Crate.ini exists in the /Crafts/ folder. If you fix that, the game will report an error on the first line in Crate.ini, but the error is actually in the file was accessed just before i.e. Soldier.ini.

Finding the cause of the error in that messy file might be difficult. If I where you I would disable the second half of that file with comments so if the game still fails to load with the same error you know that the cause is in the first half. Then you can just repeat the procedure until you have narrowed it down to the exact entry.

I know it is messy, I have been working on the mod for almost 3 years, back then I had a limited grasp of syntax, CC having as many quirks as a the main floor at comic con doesn't help either.

I made the modifications you recommended and did some troubleshooting of my own, but now it refusing to load some image files which are at the correct path.

Start by making sure that any custom images are in the correct format. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19078

I have tried indexing the images in the way that the tutorial describes, but it wont take. Any time I reopen the image I indexed, it shows up as RGB. the mod still wont load. Here is another revised file. http://www.mediafire.com/download/lqkiu ... /RDI.rte(4).rar

I managed to fix the image problems, I hope, but now it is refusing to load basic things like "AddActor = Arm" and
"AddEffect = MOSRotating" unless it is in the "Soldier.ini" file.

The problem is still in solder.ini (the file loaded before crates.ini). If you follow my instruction above you will find it eventually.

What do you mean? I fixed the image problem, the mod loads perfectly fine if I remove the Crafts.Ini/Buggy.ini/Mech.ini from the boot order. the Soldiers.ini loads fine.

Yes, I was wrong about soldier.ini. If RDI.rte/Actors/Soldier/Soldier.ini is loaded before RDI.rte/Actors/Crafts/Crafts.ini the error message looks like the first line of Crafts.ini is broken, which usually means that the error is in file loaded just before that file. But if you load RDI.rte/Actors/Crafts/Crafts.ini before RDI.rte/Actors/Soldier/Soldier.ini you get a proper error message about Crafts.ini (looks like a simple spelling mistake).

You've lost some indentation in your soldier.ini. Two last lines must look like this

Code:
   GibSound = Sound
      CopyOf = Flesh Body Blunt Hit
