To my fellow modders:

I really could use some input on this one.

I am getting the following error message:
Missing entry in "Scenarios\Huge Earth\text\PediaIcons.text": ANIMNAME_

I have gone through my PediaIcons in that folder several times over and cannot find any errors in the Unit Animations category. It is really driving me crazy! :mad:

Any help would surely be appreciated.

Check your units in the editor. Do they all have PRTO_??? values?

My first impression is that one of the units doesn't have a PRTO_ value and the game is looking for an empty ANIMNAME. Could be wrong though.

Make sure you have specified a civilopedia entry for your unit in the editor.

Also, read this tutorial, if you haven't already: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71114

I just had the same problem myself, Thanks for the help. :)

Okay all units have PRTO values. I am currently running through my civilopedia to make sure it's correct.

Okay, now I have officially run through and checked every last file of the civilopedia, pediaicons, and the scenario itself...nothing's missing.

NOW WHAT!? :confused:

Chris-
What did you do different?

If all your units have entries (in the editor) of the form PRTO_UNITNAME, then you should not be getting the error "Missing blah blah blah: ANIMNAME_", you *could* be getting an error of the syntax "Missing blah blah blah: ANIMNAME_PRTO_UNITNAME". If you are still getting the original error, you have most likely missed specifying a civilopedia entry for a unit. Please be more specific.

As it stands the error I am still getting is the one that I have listed up at the top ver batim.
I will re-check the editor for anything that may have been mis-typed.

Civilopedia has nothing to do with this. The culprit is in the bic/bix/biq or pediaicons.txt. Most likely it's in the bic/bix/biq.

You are 100% certain that when going through your units in the editor, they all have been assigned PRTO values? As the error message is exactly the one that is displayed when a unit doesn't have a PRTO_UNITNAME value.

Editor is in bold to make sure that you are checking the entries in the editor, not in pediaicons.txt.

Maybe you have a typo somewhere or you're missing a unit :confused:

Drift-
I went back and checked the editor and it looks like everything is in place. I can upload the file if you want to take a look at it.


Edit: I am now getting a new error message

Everything is the same as before except now it reads:
ANIMNAME_mall.pcx

It must be trying to read a unit that is just not there, but again it just doesn't make sense.

You have probably entered "mall" as the civilopedia entry for a unit (although that is strange, I guess we should take a look).

Okay,
I'll upload the respective files.

Here they are:

@#!*& files (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/Troublesome_Files.zip)

Maybe you guys can find something that I missed.

No replies???

I looked at them quickly, but didn't find the problem. Sorry. :(

Yeah, that was my reaction too. I looked high and low through those files and couldn't find a problem. Hopefully, someone will know of a fix.

Krayzeenbk-
Did you get a chance to look at the files to see if I did something wrong?
