header [zone value encounter missing parameter 2

Well,I've got problem.
I've made some changes to Li01.ini;
when I launch to space it's...
all OK,no problems,everything is working,no CTD.
I've recompressed Li01(using FL explorer,version 2.0.6.22),launched to space and got
error message:
____________________________________________________
I ERROR___________________________________________X__I
I
I header [zone} value encounter missing parameter 2
I ____
I I_OK_I
I ___________________________________________________I

I press OK,and the game continues.
I've made changes of the same kind to Li02,recompressed it and didn"t get this message,everything works.
WHAT is it,what parameter is missing?Chance of encounter, "," or "."somewhere, level of it,what? I can't even translate the message propely.What do I have to search for?
Please,help.

it sounds like an encounters reference is missing it's second parameter, although I've never seen the game spit that out!

It could be the headers:
[EncounterParameters
nickname = miningp_trade_transport
filename = missions\encounters\miningp_trade_transport.ini

Maybe no filename is specified?

OR - and my first thought, was
encounter = tradelane_trade_transport, 1, 0.170000
faction = co_hsp_grp, 0.170000

The second parameter would be the 1, the level of the npc to appear (the first being the encounter it is, the second their level, and the third their percentage chance).

You may be able to search for:
, ,

in the file to locate the error, but i'd just sift through the changes you've added and see if you can locate it that way.

Hmm,

You say you recompressed the file.. Why? Freelancer will read them as plain text or as bini.. my suggestion would be NOT to recompress the file as its not needed... and try the file as plain text..

Are errors turning up in FlSpew? they can often give some idea where the error lies..
