WimO Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I quit. Two weeks and over 160 hours of modifying my scenarios and play testing. Assembled just two as a mini campaign to play test and FUBAR! It compiles properly but refuses to pull in the called elements of the core units file as well as the intro Tactical .bmp an .txt files. FUBAR, FUBAR, FUBAR. I've had it with this program. No more frustrating hours. Going back to painting minis. Happy gaming to y'all. Signing off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you'll get back to it once you've refreshed your mind with some nice painting stuff! Too bad to abandon close to the final goal, especially after 160 hours of hard work! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the urge takes you after the dust settles, perhaps one of our great campaign designers could lend a hand and cast an eye over your files to look for the cause? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) That sounds like a core units file issue. ALL the missions in a campaign will need to be synced with the core units file. Anything else you'd never be able to compile and it would give you an error message. So reckon it's an easy fix. Happy to take a wee look if helps. A lot of time and effort to throw oot the windae...

There's mountains of content that don't require any work. I spend all day, every day, trying to make simulations work. For fun I just want to play ones that already work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Over the years too many great modders and designers have been lost to burn-out. Take a break and as people said, "have some fun". Play something else. Give it a few months, and the mojo will return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WimO Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 After come deep breathing, cuss'n and a walk around the house my obsessive personality had me have another look at it and ... I stumbled across the problem. The issue was the sequence that I loaded the compiler. As instructed I had the core units file, two scenario files and the requisite text file all in one folder ... but instead of selecting make campaign from a loaded core units file, I launched from the loaded first scenario. Consequently the campaign thought that the first scenario was the core units file. I redid it properly and voila! it all worked okay. Good. So now I'm back to work. Thank's all for the encouragement. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithikial_AU Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 @WimO - Even the old hats run into difficulties and unexpected issues with the scripts. Keep strong buddy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
