I have started a little rumble map with many units (cfg file). But where I had
test my "the_battlefield_map", there come this error/information:

Error

The game could not be loaded: load_game_failed:
Attempt to de-serialize an empty unit

(I don't understand the meaning of that error

)

I send you the cfg code and the map:

I'm not familiar with that error because I haven't done Wesnoth mapmaking in years, but could it be this?

Code: Select all

[unit]    
      x="5" 
      y="17" 
      type="Spearman" 
      side=1 
      [/unit]          
      [unit]    
      x="7" 
      y="17" 
      type="" 
      side=1 
      [/unit] 
     [unit]    
      x="7" 
      y="14" 
      type="Bowman" 
      side=1 
      [/unit]

Note the empty type tag for the unit spawned at 7,17.

lol ah yes sure thank you very very much that had I forgotten it ^^", a beginner mistake but thank you very much

P.S.: It is very difficult to see some mistakes in the cfg file/code because it is very long.

I have a question: What is the right meaning of "royal guard" in the cfg file/code? Is this meaning here so right?:

Code: Select all

[unit]   
      x="4"
      y="17"
      type="Royalguard"
      side=1
      [/unit]
     [unit]   
      x="8"
      y="17"
      type="Royalguard"
      side=1
      [/unit]

(There is a error again "can't loaded unit type: "Royalguard"!)

ILikeProgramming · November 24th, 2006, 11:06 pm

No, it's "type=Royal Guard"
