heyas;

  still banging my head on the 'cannot read area list info' error.  actually, i THINK that REALLY means 'cannot generate campaign file' error.

  because i have been noticing that my cutscene module's CIF file hasn't been written to since 11/9.  and shouldn't that update whenever i export things?  right, but it keeps failing.  *still* do not know why.  (no, the file is not read-only.)

  so i opened the cif file in editpad and compared it to some others.  i deleted two lines that appeared to be area and area list entries that no longer were in the module (i checked in and deleted them).  haha, that made the module blow up (ie: not load at all).

  if i delete the cif (actually, move it; i'm afraid to delete it), a new one is NOT generated by the toolset.


  anybody know any good tutorials/threads about how to migrate your fubar'd module's important content to a new (hopefully NOT-fubar'd) module?

When you export any resources, is there an error or warning message in the output log? Here was a toolset problem I posted to the wiki that was preventing me from getting a CIF until I corrected it.

aw MAN!



gourd, i thought you saved me there for a minute. but this isn't the same error that i am getting. i'm getting 'cannot read area list info.' i've changed the starting area/point several times, but i'll hammer on it again.

Sorry, I must have skipped where you wrote about the 'cannot read area list info' error. Do any of your areas belong to area lists, or do you even have any defined yourself?
