Server went derp....

[RRP47]

Pulling my hair out. Server was working fine last night, then decided it was time to do my final edits to the traders. After doing so, i get this;

 

ErrorMessage: File mpmissions\dayz_epoch_13.Tavi\description.ext, line 178: /CfgTraderCategory/: Missing '}'

 

I never even touched the description.ext.

 

My traders are config based. I've been thru every file, no typos or bad syntax in them, unless I'm blind. lol

 

I'm calling the traders correctly in init, and description. This error is driving me nuts. Hanging on "Wait for host" when it was running just fine earlier is nerve racking.

 

Here's my description.ext

I'll be beating my head against this wall all day. Any help or insight is appreciated.

[Achmed]

your descriptions.ext look fine to me

 

i know it says "description.ext, line 178: /CfgTraderCategory/: Missing '}'" but i think it will be in one of your trader files as they are included so as far as i know push the line numbers on in the main file.

 

can you post your cfgServerTrader.hpp" file pls

[Uro]

Look in your Config Trader files and search for CfgTraderCategory, you have a missing } bracket.

 

It's pointing to your description.ext because that's where the CfgTraders is #include'd and therefore referenced from that file.

[Achmed]

thinking about it, have you got a }; at the end of the cfgServerTrader.hpp file?

You added Overwatch traders but did you enter them correctly in to the server_traders files etc?

[RRP47]

Yes, everything was working fine last night. Could buy/sell any OW weapon. Then I moved some stuff around and added origins vehicles to the config traders (they were in database before) and now I'm getting this error. I have taken all epoch weapons out minus a few LMGs, all other weapons are OW. And traders reflect as such.

[Achmed]

yep that looks fine also. all you can do is start at the top and check every file as one of them will be missing a }

I had this problem you are missing } in one of those Hpp files took me about 20 minutes to find me mistake, Next time back up your files before uploading new ones

[RRP47]

I'll dig thru them again. Maybe after staring at them for hours, they all mesh together. lol I'll report back.

[RRP47]

I have backups. I'll throw those back in and see what goes.

Old with new you will spot it like this ^^

[RRP47]

I downloaded that when I was installing your SC. Never even thought to use it again on this. So used to "compare" in notepad++ lol

[RRP47]

I "THINK" I may have found the, or at least AN issue. I was thumbing thru looking for the missing '}' and came across this.

 

Its considering the closing '}' in the middle, not the end, See the Red Brackets. there a way to fix this? or is this not the issue? lol

[PeterBeer]

[RRP47]

right on, so I'm on the right track. but how do I "right" this? each line requires two '};' and the only way I've gotten it to move is by removing it all together.

[RRP47]

LOL I found it. Missing the '{' in the sell line right there.

[RRP47]

sometimes I wonder why I bother....lol thanks for the help guys. sometimes ya just gotta open your eyes huh? lol

[RRP47]

still have to thumb thru them all, again, apparently still getting the error. :facepalm:

[RRP47]

Fixed.  ;)
