Integrer value

[Riksen]

Lo,

 

Im having a problem with one custom campaign I created ... whenever one map switches to another i get a message about not a valid integrer value or something like that but if i generate the campaign on that map, it generates normally. It only happens when it switches ... Do you know where I should be looking for an error?

 

[Lowengrin]

The error is probably in the grandcampaign.dcg file in the section that sets up the transition between the two campaign maps.

Thxs for the repply Lo,

 

I checked the grandcampaign file and I dont see anything wrong with it. Could that be related to transferring squads into the new map? Or maybe some typo in the rds file?

[Lowengrin]

It could be as simple as an extra space in the rds file (like at the very bottom of the file).  But, yes, the rds file and other route files might be the problem.

[Riksen]

Thxs for the answer Lo,

 

I guess I have to check my whole work again. I dont know if it helps to narrow it down but when the message appears the DCG console seems to be stuck with a message saying "Inside Active Flagging routine" and immediately under it "Please Wait ..."

 

Also, looking into the dcgerror file I get the following:

I think it is a problem with the routes because I changed the regular vanilla map of Smolensk with a retextured version. Does that help or should I just review everything?

[Lowengrin]

If you're using a different version of the Smolensk map, it may be that you need to tell DCG that you're using that map for your campaign.  So you'll need to put an entry in the maps.dcg file for it.

 

Although it appears from the log you posted, it's generating the columns alright.  It's crashing at the start of the mission routine which makes me suspect it's got to do with your squadron set up.  Can you cut and paste the first couple squadrons out of the squadrons.dcg file in the campaign's folder.

Do I need a DGen folder for the campaign even if I play in dogfight mode? Could that be the problem? I didnt create a DGen folder for this campaign as I only planned to play it in dogfight mode ....

[Riksen]

Lo,

 

I just transferred the third party folder with all the pertinent files into the beta 18 version of DCG and it worked flawlessly. The same folder with no modifications at all ... thats weird. Well time to enjoy

 

Thxs for the support

[Lowengrin]

You're welcome!  (Not that I feel I did anything.)
