Script Error: Unknown identifier for trait

**Danny087** · August 05, 2021, 01:03 PM

I get a CTD at game start when changing the following trait:

Code:

From

Trait ValerivsFlaccvs ;Patrician
    Characters family, diplomat
    Hidden
    AntiTraits RemRomanFamilyName

    Level Valerivs_Flaccvs
        Description Hidden_desc
        EffectsDescription Hidden_effects_desc
        Epithet Valerivs_Flaccvs_epithet_desc
        Threshold  1
        
To

Trait ValerivsFlaccvs ;Patrician
    Characters family, diplomat
    Hidden
    AntiTraits RemRomanFamilyName

    Level Valerivs_Flaccvs
        Description Hidden_desc
        EffectsDescription Hidden_effects_desc
        Epithet Valerivs_Flaccvs_epithet_desc
        Threshold  1
        
    Level Valerivs_Flaccvs_Praetor
        Description Hidden_desc
        EffectsDescription Hidden_effects_desc
        Epithet Valerivs_Flaccvs_Praetor_epithet_desc
        Threshold  2

Get the log message: Script Error in mods/ebii/data/export_descr_character_traits.txt, at line 3595, column 9
Unknown identifier for trait(ValerivsFlaccvs) level(Valerivs_Flaccvs_Praetor) when expecting Description.

Any idea why?

- The entries "Description Hidden_desc", "EffectsDescription Hidden_effects_desc" and "Epithet Valerivs_Flaccvs_Praetor_epithet_desc" all exist in export_vnvs. Also deleted the "export_VnVs.txt.strings" file before starting game.
- Freshly installed EBII 2.35A R3.5 before doing the changes. (Perhaps I missed switching on/off some setting?)

Does the entry "Valerivs_Flaccvs_Praetor" exist in export_vnvs? That will be the name of the trait as it appears for the second threshold.

Yes it does.

Could be a formatting issue, best to upload the EDCT for someone to check.

If someone could check it, that would be really really nice and very gentle! Here you go:

Yup, for some reason you are using the Mac\Linux type of line end\carriage feed, see pic: CRLF is windows, LF is Mac

To fix that (you need to use Notepad++ and select view\show symbols\show all characters for this display) you need to set the cursor in front of the LF symbol, press 'delete' and then 'enter'.

Thanks alot, that worked!!!!

Notepad++ actually even has an inbuilt function for this. From the "Edit" menu, click on "EOL Conversion" -> "Windows/Dos Format".

Wasn't sure if that worked for partial stuff, thanks for confirming. Once I discovered ++ I never went back to the Windows version, guess you will do so, too.
You'll love the inbuilt position counter once you work on the modelDB file...
