Error Diagnosis Software

Hi all,

I am nearly about to go nuts trying to find the particular problem that is a causing the harmless 'an error was present in the scenario' message. :wacko:
Is there any software that can help this process? A duplicate ID checker etc?

Thanks.....


:)

The only programme available that I know of is a bracket checker, but this isn't particularly useful as it's not very accurate and the error messages tend to tell you if you have any misplaced brackets anyway, and where they are!

If it's the 'Abort, Retry, Ignore' scenario errors message you're getting, this could be caused by a few things:

* There's some sort of missassigned province
* A country has been given ownership of a sea-zone province
* There are provinces without owners/controllers
* There's a typo in one of the modded .inc or .eug files.

Unfortunately, the only way to get rid of the message is to check through all of your modded files for any of these possible causes...

Yeah seems like I shall have to go through them all. :rolleyes:

Thanks...



So, it won't be because of duplicate minister/leader/tech id numbers?

I doubt it - duplicate IDs normally give you an error message telling you what's wrong.

The only other thing you can check is try to load a savegame - these sometimes bring up further error messages that the standard game loading doesn't detect...

I´m having a more... mysterious problem ^^

My szenario is loading, without any error-message, but just after loading theres a program termination...
I can see the map and so on, but only for one moment, before
i´m back in windows.

What could be reasons there for?
Maybee some units in scenario-files which are placed on not controlled provinces without giving military access?
(for example an american unit in italy, without having military access?)

Your American unit in Italy shouldn't cause any problems - in my experience, the error you're describing has tended to be caused by misspelt unit types in the OOB (eg. type = inf ; type = battlebattlecruiser; type = ... ) .

The game loads up all the files ok, but once the AI decides to try move the unit and realises it can't recognise what it is, the game crashes.

Hmm... okay. I´ll have a look at the scenario files.
Thank you for this information. :)

What about any techniques for narrowing down the search?

I noticed that I found & removed a couple of smaller errors by replacing folders / files from my scenario with folders / files from a vanilla installation. By doing this I was able to see if the error came up individually for particular folders, therefore pointing me in the direction of the problem.

Does anybody use any similar techniques that might be appropriate for my issue?
