Explain my system log error

[PXZyan]

Hey guys.

I created a mod over a year ago that lets me play as Ireland and Wales.
I have not played M2TW in a long time and I wanted to play the game again.

I downloaded my mods and I get an error which I do not understand.

My game won't run and I have no idea how to fix it. Perhaps someone here can understand it better than I can??

There is an error in your descr_strat.txt. It would appear some error or conflict in the date and time scale. Take a look at it.

Ok guys,
I have it set to:

start_date 1050 summer
end_date 1530 summer
timescale 0.50

I don't see anything wrong with that?
Any advice?

[Userpro]

tell us the line 23 entry of your descr_strat.txt or better upload the whole descr_strat.txt file here. It seems there is a small spelling error anywhere arround that line

[Gigantus]

Give us the lines from the start until the start of the resources. It is usually a typo with the various playability options.

I will upload the file also.

Try by removing the empty line between 'unlockable' and 'end'.
That should do it.

[PXZyan]

That did not work

Looks like this now?

try changing to:

None of them work

[Userpro]

sorry, but at this point there must be some other error in a file not mentioned. Try to generate a log-file with the trace command.
Try to give a look here...

Do the factions in the descr_strat agree with the factions in the descr_sm_factions file?

I think its something about the descr_oil_effect.txt and descr_fire_texture_list.txt but i cant find those files nowhere :S

Please help, its realy frustrating.
