Big problem with appearing error

[trickster]

Hey there,
I have been working my butt of on making a scenario customized for my boyfriend as a christmas gift and since I saved and closed civ2 yesterday, whenever I have tried to open the scenario to work on it, I came across this error and it wouldnt let me get there

[error "CivKeyNotFound(City) (Bad RULES.TXT)" in module "<Startup>" data: 52 0 'Docking Station JAX, FL, 30, 0, Med,
Most recent DOS error 2'].

"Docking Station JAX, FL" is the name I replaced that of one of the city improvements with. If anybody might know what's happening, and hopefully how to fix it, please contact me either in reply or on aim, screenname "Amnesiac". I'm rather desperate to get this fixed...having to start over would just be infinitely frustrating.

What's that FL? Everything else looks OK, but the FL shouldn't be there. If your plan was to have the title of the improvement actually be:

"Docking Station JAX, FL"

--you can't, b/c the game interprets commas.

Thanks, I guess that's what it was then...I shouldve thought of that. So I went to the rules.txt and erased everything in that line aside from "docking station", but it's still not working...only now in the error is shows the altered version of the name.

Don't erase the line or parts of it, just delete the comma from the improvement name. If you start removing entries from the data block, you throw the whole matrix out of kilter - hence the error.

 

[MikeLynch]

Yeah, the comma is the key problem, not necessarily the FL. If the line looks like this:

Docking Station JAX - FL, 30, 0, Med,

or this:

Docking Station JAX FL, 30, 0, Med,

it should work OK.

so can we play this after your BF is done with it. Anything with the word 'Docking Station' sounds appealing to me. Is it DS9 by any chance?
