I'm having an error with an ANIMNAME file. Usually the game is really helpful in telling you exactly where you made a stray mark or whatever, but I've been getting an ANIMNAME_ error. Does anyone have any experience/solution for this?

Actally, this gives me an opportunity to say something...

I have found that you should ALWAYS put a:

#ANIMENAME_PRTO(NOTHING HERE!!!!!)

that way if you forget to put a units PRTO_(????) entry...(jbryant, this part is for you...what you have done, is left out the PRTO entries in the civeditor...go to Edit-->rules-->units and scroll down the list, making sure each one has the PRTO_UNITNAME entry filled in))...A unit animation will show up to let you know(I use Godzilla)...

the entry looks like this:

#ANIMNAME_PRTO_
Godzilla

this will save you CTDs and show you Ingame, where you have made mistakes...
