Debugging-I'm sick of it, and ready to quit modding

IE sucks..

 

If you use Firefox it will show you the line and column that the error occured in. If you use a Editor like UE32 or Dreamweaver this comes in handy as you can go right to the line and fix. UE32 also has XML support and it auto corrects syntax errors and other common errors.

So, how would one go about fixing an XML with Dreamweaver? I want to know how these advanced programs work.

Yes.

It means you need to read error messages carefully before asking us.

 

Twice, if necessary.

 

You have and . If that still doesn't ring a bell, count the letters :)

 

You may now hit yourself on the head.

Please, do you know what's wrong with my code? I can't figure it out.

Alright, this is CRAP. No one may use the below code, but please fix it. If you do fix it, I will mention you in the credits.

 

EDIT: Deleted. I don't want to risk it being stolen.

You use variants too much, even when making a unit thats totally different...I find it hard to find to root of the problem that way.

*sigh*

 

When I code, it's all about varients. Modding, when you think about it, is all about varients.

 

How do you suppose I delete the varient tags without bugging it now????

Well, assuming the problem still stands...

 

Line 269 is

<SFXEvent_Tactical_Build_Cancelled> EHD_Reinforcements_Cancelled  </SFXEvent_Tactical_Build_Cancelled

And it should be

<SFXEvent_Tactical_Build_Cancelled> EHD_Reinforcements_Cancelled  </SFXEvent_Tactical_Build_Cancelled>

 

Line 478 is

<Battlefield_Modifier_Ability Name"Empire_Field_Commander_FOW_Increase">

And it should be

<Battlefield_Modifier_Ability Name="Empire_Field_Commander_FOW_Increase">

 

 

That's all I got.  Grab a fixed copy.

Zing!

Well I can tell, whatever you did helped a lot. But it didn't completely fix it.....

Most freeware notepad replacments have support for XML editing. So they should have debugging tools. Just not geared towards EaW.

 

Try:

Notepad2

Or:

google for a freeware notepad replacment.

When your outnumbered, you've got more targets to shoot AND less chance of missing.

I personally use Notepad++, though I use it for it's light memory usage and very wide support of various file formatting, and I'm sure there are much better XML editors out there.

 

For your current problem, are you sure none of the other files have syntax errors?

 

For future developing, backup working copies of your files frequently (NOT overwritting older backups), and check for basic syntax errors in Firefox/IE/Opera even more frequently.  Then if you have problems use a diff program (like this one) to see what you changed.

 

For more advanced, setup a version control like Subversion (not necessarily for the faint of heart).

Zing!

Thank you!

 

I figured out which is bugged-it was totally different than what I expected.

Mean? I can't figure out what's wrong with it....

SPACE is also an invalid character inbetween letters and #s

 

1upD, send me the XML; I may be able to help.

I think you still know my yahoo address...

 

wait, do you know what I'm talking about?

If not, this may be a clue;
