Hello members of the forum,
I'm currently trying to create some new general powers and have been following the tutorial set up but am finding that i get a technical error following the steps, upon further inspection of the tutorial it mentions that you are now on your way to creating a new general power and the additional steps will be followed up in an other tutorial. I was wondering could anyone on this forum point me in the direction of what the additional steps required are?

Thanks in advance

Fred

Just thought I'd add that when i use the world builder to debug i get an ini error then a runtime error the debug file has this code:

This line is what I'd focus on:
ASSERTION FAILURE: Error parsing block ' Priori' in INI file 'Data\INI\SoundEffects.ini'

Maybe there's something wrong in your SoundEffects.ini file?

I found out what the main problem was.
At some point after i started adding my new general powers some of the semicolons from various ini's i hadn't touched and some i had were deleted or moved around in the file so i just restored them from a previous working copy and that fixed them I'm now in the process of reintroducing the general powers to see if it works now.

Update:

I've re added the new generals powers following similar steps in the tutorial and i ran the debugger and it comes up with an error in the behaviour block of code.
the debug file code looks like this:

ASSERTION FAILURE: [LINE: 8855 - FILE: 'Data\INI\Object\factionbuilding.ini'] Unknown field 'Behaviour' in block 'Object'

Is there some step i need to define the behaviour as a moduletag_**? as i used text similar to how it is done in the tutorial.

Try to remember every object(structure) you have edited , and then inspect all of their Behavior -s , also make sure there are End -s , alo you maybr used wrong module-tag for one behavior.
Try launching the game and look into ReleaseCrashInfo.txt

---

I manage to get past the world builder test and now when i run main game i get an error.
Could you tell me where exactly i can find the releasecrashinfo.txt is as i cannot seem to find it.

-Edit-
I found it. The error states this
; Reason Error parsing INI file 'Data\INI\CommandSet.ini' (Line: 'CommandSet ChinaBarracksCommandSet ')


Last error:


Current stack:

You probably have the wrong name of a command button for the Chinese Barracks. Double check the command buttons there.

This means you'll need to check or fix the names and every single letter in that command set , also remember that it's case sensitive and try finding if there is accidently another one with the same name , change it or delete.
I remember once , i was "blowing up" for 20 minutes trying to fix a simple command set , then it turned out , another one was already existing.

Thanks it works now just an other question.
How does one create the detailed info for powers and things?

-Edit-
Okay What happens now is that i use the unit to use their strike ability but it spawns 1 Mig when it is supposed to spawn 5 and it doesn't drop anything just flies over the drop zone
