[1.03 RC1] - validator error log

[Denniss]

I'm currently running tests with the Hoi2/AoD validator adapted for DH, the attached file shows some errors that may need fixing.
Test were run against DH Core.

Thank you for the report, we're always looking for a ways to extend in functionality the built-in errors checker.

Invalid Node
At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\ai\CHC_1941.ai [befriend] (38, 1):
Name: Item
Scope: WeightedTagList
Value: SOV

These are not necessary issues as even when not specified the engine assigns 1 as a value.

At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\ai\desertfox_ENG.ai [garrison\province_priorities\907] (45, 3):
The value '-1000' on node '907' must be a positive integer.

Garrison province_priorities can be a negative number. It is used when you want to instruct the AI to not garrison the said province.

Incorrect Literal
At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\ai\downfall_ALS.ai [air_marshal\taskforcetype[3]\interdiction] (74, 371):
Expected value: yes
Actual value: no

That's not an error either. Any value # then "yes" will disable the mission for this task force, so using "no" is perfectly valid (even if redundant).

Constraint not Met
At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\ai\switch\CHI_Isolationist.ai [military] (65, 1):
The sum of land brigade production weights must be less than or equal to 100.

Not an error. Weights for brigades (no matter land, air or naval) are not summed together before being used, but are evaluated one after the other against a random number.

Type Mismatch Error
At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\db\events\hoi2.txt [event[4]\trigger\NOT[1]\ispuppet] (261, 11):
"yes" is not a valid -1 or Tag.

That is a false report for sure.
ispuppet = [TAG/yes] # True if TAG is a puppet. Use ispuppet = yes to check if the country in question is puppet to another country.

Invalid Node
At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\db\events\AI_Other.txt [event[24]\action_a] (912, 2):
Name: trigger
Scope: CommandRoot
Value: <a complex type>

Invalid Node
At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\db\events\AI_Other.txt [event[24]\action_b] (919, 2):
Name: trigger
Scope: CommandRoot
Value: <a complex type>

False reports. Actions in DH (and commands) can use own triggers.

Invalid Node
At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\scenarios\fallbarbarossa\fall_barbarossa_events.txt [event[13]\action_a\command[1]] (451, 3):
Name: when
Value: now

There are many of false reports on commands like that one:
command = { type = max_organization which = land when = now value = 15 }
when = now instructs the engine to apply this to all deployed units too, not just to these that will be produced in the future.

Child Count Error
At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\scenarios\platineanwar\PlatineanWar.txt [event[34]\trigger\control] (1054, 3):
At least 1 instance(s) of a literal "data" entry are required, but there are only 0 instances.

False report. data field is not required in DH if the control check is for the current country:
control = { province = a [data = tag] } # checks if province is controlled by country x. If data = -1 or no data then it’s for country receiving event; -2 is Enemy; -3 is allied (war or diplomatic alliance) or event receiver

Invalid Node
At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\db\events\AI_Inherit_Chi.txt [event[6]\action_a\command] (190, 3):
Name: value
Value: 1

False reports:
type = inherit which = [tag] value = 1/0(default) # This country inherits country Tag, [-1] for random. Value = 1 : country will receive all units and production queue too

Child Count Error
At D:\Hoi2 - Darkest Hour 13\Scenarios\0_1945.eug [header] (3, 1):
At least 1 instance(s) of a literal "name" entry are required, but there are only 0 instances.

AFAIK this is obsolete entry. Let me know if I'm wrong
