Need a little help with mod\'ing a file...
 

OK, I took my first crack at modifying a file... I chose CompEnhancements.txt since it seemed to me to be a file that did not get much attention in many mods. I'll attach it here....

So anyways, I had a grand old time with this file. Check and double-checked for spelling errors, extra <cr>, missing <cr>, etc...

Looked good. So I loaded it...

Now, most of my new mount types don't show up! All the normal ones show, and so does the Light Mount. But no other mount shows. Is there possibly a size limit to how big this file can get? Is there a maximum number of mount types allowed per vehicle class? What did I do wrong??? http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif *Sigh* I had some really cool ideas IMO.

I checked out your file. It looks like your only real problem is that you left an extra blank line in between your "Light Mount" and "Spinal Mount" entries. Extra lines in the Mod files tend to cause SEIV to choke and ignore everything after them in the file. When I take out that line, everything loads up fine. (Fixed file attached).

GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE...

*Sigh*

I coulda sworn I checked, checked, and checked again for missing/extra lines. *Sigh*

Actually, I found two lines extra when I went back through my original... Oh well. I got 'em cleaned out, and it looks like it works now.

Thanks for the double-check... I think I'll post this in the Mod Forum now..
