I was trying to Mod FOC, for the mod team i co-lead, AOTOR:CW

Anyways ummm i got it into .meg format. So it would work. i start up FOC and it gets to the Loading Screen, Black Background and the Title,etc...

Then it goes back to the desktop. Could anyone tell me how to fix it or fix it for me.

This could be a variety of things, mate.

 

First off, ensure that you've added the meg file's name to MegaFiles.xml in Gamedata/Data.

 

Second, if you've already done that, you'll need to extract all .xmls to check and ensure that a mistake hasn't been made (the game gets really angry when it has any of these in the .xml: ; : ' \ / - = @!#$%^&*() )

 

Third, esnure that all .xmls are named correctly, and if so put back into the .meg file and try again.

 

Follow these steps and it should resovle itself.

I'll tell you whats a life saver - get hold of the new Microsoft XMl editor - Its helped me tremendously in fixing bad xml coding mistakes. 

Well when i try to use it for groundinfantry.xml stuff it gives me an error. But it works when i do groundcompanies and stuff. All i get in red are my unit names for some reason. Help?

oh I forgot to add a download location for the xml editor

To clarify what gives you an error - have you tried using the xml note pad mentioned to help trace the errors in your code ?

I am using Finalbig to save the files in .meg format

I tried using EAW Demo Mod Tools- Meg inserter, i kept on giving me errors

and is there a better .meg thingy than FinalBig

this is the config.meg i have been working on. I can't find the error could someone figure it out?

Extract the meg, don't package it. FoC demo can read extracted MEg files. G'Day, and thank you.

I've read that it can't...I'm pretty sure lots of people have tested it to make sure.

That Config.meg contains my modified xmls, and someone else's modified scripts and resource folder.
