Bloody flashpoint
« on: 29 May 2003, 16:08:21 »
Yeh im in desperate need of help. Ive been making a mission for about 4 weeks now, complete with intro and everythin I was gonna release it as beta 2day but when I loaded the mission in editor it crashed to desktop and said 'error encounted. encounted 'y' instead of ';' unit 24 class: vehicles' or somthin like that, so I went into mission.sqm and deleted the unit 24 and now when I go to load it, it doesent crash to desktop it says in mission editor 'Unable to load mission!' and im not letting all that hardwork go down the drain can anyone help, or tell me what to input or whether I have to put in the unit again in the mission.sqm.

The unit was an Officer so "OFFICERE" I dont no y it has an E on the end. And for some reason his class was vehicle (dont no whether this is with all units) some1 please help.

Without knowing how your mission.sqm file originally looked, I couldn't say for certain what your problem was.  However, it sounds like you probably put some code in the initialization field of the officer, but forgot to separate two or more separate commands with semi-colons.  Probably all you needed to do was add a semi-colon somewhere.  Oh well, too late.

"OfficerE" means that it's an East officer (e = east).

All units are classified as vehicles in the mission.sqm file.

As for why your mission doesn't load anymore, you probably didn't delete every line of code relating to the officer.  Else, you have other units beyond #24, and you have to renumber the remaining ones.  Or something.  Someone else will have to clarify if this would be necessary, as I never delete units using a text editor since it's easy to mess up things.

This message can also appear when your description.ext contains an error (in which case it crashes to desktop).
Or if you use a faulty add-on, and then it's the config.cpp (I think) which is to be checked.
Are you using any add-ons that you might have removed afterwards ?
Another suggestion : some missions work in the editor, but not once they're PBOed. Then you've got to try and try again, it might fix (I'm telling you that because it happened to me yesterday  ???)
Anyway, don't worry, there IS a solution, hopefully in one of the above suggestions.
