Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

Hello Folks,
So, I am constantly getting this error in my debugging log, for many of my maps, in various files such as the AI.con, the AIPathfinding.con, the StrategicAreas.con, etc:

Warning: Io: Error bf1942/levels/Coral_sea/ai.con: Can not have an "endIf" without an "if"!

Warning: Io: Error bf1942/levels/Coral_sea/ai.con (35): if v_arg1 == host
Engine\Io\Console.cpp

Warning: Io: Error bf1942/levels/Coral_sea/ai.con: Error: Syntax error in expression!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below, I have copied and pasted my AI.con file for Coral_Sea as an example of what I have. Please tell me if anything is incorrect or how to correct these errors. Thank You.

I’ve had this error many times with the if/endIf conditional statement but it hasn’t stopped my script from working properly. It’s basically saying you have to enclose your if statement with an endIf statement, which you did already in your code.

I think that the debugger is giving you that error because it probably doesn’t support rem statements inserted inside if/endIf code blocks. Try removing those and see if the error is still there. If it is and your CON file still works as intended, just add console.echoErrors 0 at the beginning of the CON file.

Thank you DiamondBack. I will give it a try for sure.

Did it work?

Sorry, I've been out of commission for the past week and a half. I will be trying your idea tonight. I was just wondering, what exactly does "console.echoErrors 0", do?

Thank You,

So far, the removal of the remmed lines from in between the if and endIf lines, has not done much to change the errors, but then again, I am doing other edits at the moment as well. Once I am finished with those, I'll be able to test it out a bit better. I'll keep you informed. Thank you.

What exactly does that "console.echoErrors 0" statement, do?

I did try the edits you mentioned, and nothing seems to work. I have a feeling that it is something else in the mod, that is causing these maps to crash over a network.

Thank You Anyway
