Embarrassing TP2 problems
« on: December 12, 2005, 11:07:06 PM »
So I was trying to make a simple mod where I just copy five items and their descriptions into my override folder. I followed the format in Rastor's item making tutorial with a .tra file where the descriptions are. In fact, I even copied the item making tutorial's sample .tra file as a starting point and put in the descriptions for my items. However, I keep getting a parse error when I run my .exe file - and the part where the error appears is line 2, that has my name. I'm sure I've made some kind of embarrassing and elementary mistake. What is this problem likely to be?

I thank any and all in advance.

Can you post the first few lines, including the one with the error in it?

Or you didn't save your TP2 as a text file but instead accidentally saved it as Unicode, RTF, DOC, etc.

I'm away from my real computer now so I can't post the code at this exact minute. However, I recall that due to my missing a click when opening an actual mod's TP2 file, all TP2 files on my computer are recognized as and have the icons of ConTEXT documents. Is this likely to have screwed something up? I didn't think it would, but you never know. (Okay, I never know. :) )

Nope, it is fine. I have tp2s, .bafs and .ds (as well as a few programming files) set to open with ConTEXT and it doesn't make a difference (it only means that program is associated with double-clicking the icon, and won't affect other programs handling it).

I finally had a chance to fiddle with it some more. I seem to have made some progress compared to where I was before, but I have become stuck again. Now I get this error:

do your items have .ITM extension?  If so, both the source and destination names need the file extension, e.g.

 COPY ~wpsword/sw1h24.ITM~ ~override/sw1h24.ITM~

and so on...

On a side note, in case you don't already know, if you want to change a text file (and many other files, for that matter) just go to properties and where it says "Opens with <>", click change.
