Machine gun mod not working, please help

Alpha

mystique Is there a new error now?

mystique

Alpha No, just the rest of the error (not "unexpected character( )") is still there

Alpha

mystique Did no other "unexpected character" appear?

mystique

Alpha Thanks

Alpha

mystique No problem.

mystique

Alpha Nope, none.

Alpha

mystique something else?

mystique

Alpha Oh! Looking through the error message, I realize now that there was only one error! I had thought there were two 🙂

Ultranova

mystique ah, the classic old unexpected character error. You might want to double check through your mod.txt. The error is commonly caused by unclosed brackets or the space that slips in every now and then.

Welcome to modding, btw.

mystique

Ultranova Thanks! I did check through the mod.txt, and deleted the extra space, but it hasn't gone away.

Ultranova

mystique do you mind sending the mod.txt so I can have a look?

mystique

Ultranova It's at the bottom of the original post

Ultranova

mystique You know, I once misread an error while developing my mod. I spent a whole day trying to fix my mod and it turns out it was an error to do with TTE armory 😆

Ultranova

mystique rubs eyes repeatedly

Oh whoops, I thought that was the error log

mystique

Ultranova lol

clojelo

mystique \Mods\gabe.mod (My Games - Cosmoteer - Mods)\Gabe.mod\mod.txt"

Would the error be due to round brackets in your mod folder (parent folder) name?
gabe.mod (My Games - Cosmoteer - Mods)

If so, just move gabe.mod directly under Cosmoteer\Mods folder.

mystique

clojelo I thought I did do that in the first place. I'll double-check.

mystique

clojelo Yup, you were right. May not be the whole problem but we'll see. Thanks!

mystique

clojelo Ok, so it wasn't the whole problem, but definetly helpful! Thanks again.

Lafiel

mystique You didn't write it correctly as I outlined it in
https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/905-need-help-with-debugging-mod-error/4

Actions
[
	{
		Action = Add
		AddTo = "<ships/terran.txt>/Terran/Parts"
		ToAdd = "&<machine_gun/machine_gun.txt>/Part"
	}
]

It can't get simpler.

mystique

Lafiel Thank you.

mystique

Lafiel I just left the "Weapon = machine_gun" in. I'm really new.

mystique

Lafiel Same error as before.
Note: this is an error I get when I try to "Install Mod", not in-game.
