Alright so, I've been trying to add a new faction for a while now.
And when I finally got everything working and everything as it should be,
This happens. "; Reason Uncaught Exception during initialization."... Yup...

Any solutions? Because I dunno what the heck's going' on.










Regards.

Have you tried running WorldBuilder with the mod? It usually gives more specific error messages.

---

Well, Worldbuiler Works fine, So Theres no problem there.

We aren't psychic. We can't see what you've done.

Ok, Sorry good point. Heres what I've done.


This is my commandbutton stuff

Yeah I dunno how to do spoilers, or if this website has them so, Sorry about that.
Also, I have my "UnitedNations.ini in "C:\Documents and Settings\DELL\My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data\INI\Object" Not sure if thats right but hey, That why Im posting it.

Anyways, There must be a problem in there somewhere... Right?

Only object data should be in ini/object
All the other data should be in its respective folders
Also where is your player template code

Most importantly: The ini folder must be in the data folder of the generals folder in your program files folder of th C:/ drive.

---

Edit-ted The Playertemplate in.


Also I moved the INI where you said to.

1. You can spoiler with [spoiler] tag and you can also put code in [code] tags.
2. Don't make me sift through your code. That's too much to show at once.

-why don't you remove all the changes you made and put them back one by one(or segment by segment) while testing the game as you go. Maybe then you can deduce WHERE the crash starts.

---

That is precisely what my tutorial tells you to do

---

1) You don't have Command_ConstructUnitedNationsCommandCenter in CommandSet.ini, but you do have it in CommandButton.ini. This won't cause a crash, but it's not right either.

2) Have you created a UnitedNationsCommandCenter and a UnitedNationsVehicleDozer in UnitedNations.ini? You mention both of these in the PlayerTemplate, but you didn't post any code suggesting that you have created them.

3) You have this line:
Is this in your files exactly like this? Because this needs to be commented out. Like this:

That first ; tells the game not to read UnitedNations as code, but to instead treat it as a comment that you've added for yourself to read.


I received a PM about your tutorial some time ago, because it was crashing someone's game. I checked it over and your tutorial isn't complete; it will actually crash the game if you follow it.

---

What went wrong?

---

Yes I've created a UnitedNations.ini And have the Command center and dozer stuff in them.

I used an INI checker. There is nothing else wrong with the code you posted. So either you have a TAB or some other illegal character hidden in your code, or you haven't posted the code containing the error.
