	Help w/ scenario Increase Your PM Length

I tried modding an existing events file and get the message:

Error "-3" in module "12" data: 15 8

File open failed: MODULES.DB
Most recent DOS error: 2

I ran debug and it shows after "endevents". It's also a multi events/rules scenario.

Ideas?

Create a new events-file and copy/paste in all events in that one, ONE BY ONE, and run the scenario and check the events. That way you will see which one is wrong It's the hard way, but I guess, the only way.

	Increase the size of your Attachments

You can cpoy-paste them in larger batches (10 or 5) and then start making the batches smaller when you have found a faulty one.

In my experience, this is almost always a misplaced comma or semi colon. Before you start recopying everything, just have a real close look at you @UNITS field.

You guys have no idea how many times I had to do this for my ToT stuff...

Yeah, I've skipped more commas than I'll ever admit. If you have Excel, just load Rules.txt using commas and semi-colons as delimiters. Omissions in the various @ sections stick out like a sore thumb.

It's an easy check to do before the painstaking events testing.

Another possible culprit could be GIF files of the wrong format. Don't they give a similar error?

also, i used to get errors when i annotated the rules by adding semicolons and then notes to fileds which did not originally have semicolons (such as the cosmic principles...)

Thx, guys, but it's not the rules.txt. When I put back in the old events file it works fine. So apparently I need to follow Arthedain's procedure.

Also means your GIF files are okay.

This stumps me. That means you saw:
