descr-battle-map-lighting-and-fog-control error

[captain galenus]

Can anyone help me. I've been trying to get RS2 to work for the last week, and I get

Script Error in
data/descr-battle-map-lighting-and-fog-control.txt, at line 7, column 1.
Expecting reading "min_light_intensity"

I've read through this forum and tried reinstalling everything, and copy the RS2 files from another install location.

Can anyone help, or send me a working text file.

By the way I'm running on Windows 7

Thanks in advance

Can you open the file please, and paste the first 10 or so lines here?

[captain galenus]

Hellhound, it's the second one. I cleaned it up when I posted the file

[Hellhound1]

Do you have bloom enabled?

[captain galenus]

Don't know, I'm new to RS

[Hellhound1]

Okie dokie.
Ive uploaded my version, try putting it in place of yours

[captain galenus]

Cheers, replaced my file with yours. Still getting the error message

[Hellhound1]

At what point do you get the error?

[captain galenus]

After I select exe and faction and select play, the screen goes blank, then the error box appears

[Hellhound1]

Which faction? Have you tried all of them?

[captain galenus]

Only tried rome so far

[Hellhound1]

Try a different one, see what happens

[captain galenus]

Still not working

[Hellhound1]

Ok so we've pinpointed the error anyway.
Where is RS2 installed?

[captain galenus]

Installed onto my desktop, as the forum suggests

[Hellhound1]

All i can suggest is wiping RS2 and RTW completely off, and reinstalling RTW, patching to the latest, redownloading RS2, and then, instead of copying over, install directly to the correct folder.

[captain galenus]

Cheers, I'll try that. Currently redownloading at moment. I'll post once I get everything reinstalled

[Hellhound1]

Good luck, all that i can think of is that a file somewhere is messed up, and wont read the script properly. Unfortunately i dont know which file references that file, or if the game itself does.


##Edit
It would appear that some part of installing the mod has gone wrong, the original file(not the RS2 version) has min_light_intensity on line 7.
So maybe installing directly should solve that.
