the order needs you mod won''t activate

hi guys, i was hoping anyone could help me.

a few day ago, i downloaded the mod the order needs you , let flmm(1.21beta9) unzip it, and that all works just fine, but then i want to activate it. when the bar is almost complete, it gives this error:

Error: problem activating 'The Order needs YOU!'
Error: the last character of a GENERATESTRRES line isn't a paranthese

i've tried redownloading it, no effect, reinstalled freelancer, no effect,
what can i do?

Its a problem with the script for the mod itself. Open the script.xml and paste its contents up here ( as LONG as its not too big - ie, to big for one post = to big to bother). Alternatively - email the creator of the mod to ask what you should do/if they can fix your script for you.

I have the same problem.
Here is what my Script.xml file says

ids_info = 0 ;GENERATEXMLRES("<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?><RDL><PUSH /><TEXT></TEXT><PARA /><TRA data="1" mask="1" def="-2" /><JUST loc="center" /><TEXT>Stats</TEXT><PARA /><TRA data="0" mask="1" def="-1" /><JUST loc="left" /><TEXT></TEXT><PARA /><TEXT>Gun/Turret Mounts: 8/1</TEXT><PARA /><TEXT>Armor: 15900</TEXT><PARA /><TEXT>Cargo Space: 90</TEXT><PARA /><TEXT>Max Batteries/NanoBots: 99/99</TEXT><PARA /><TEXT>Optimal Weapon Class: 9</TEXT><PARA /><TEXT>Max.

here, around the generatestrres:

[NewsItem
rank = base_0_rank, mission_end
icon = universe
logo = news_badlands
category = 0; GENERATESTRRES("Strange Scanner Readings in Badlands" )
headline = 0; GENERATESTRRES("Strange Scanner Readings in Badlands" )
text = 0; GENERATESTRRES("Buffalo Base, New York - Liberty Rouge scouts reported strange scanner readings in the badlands. The scanner readings show that previously unknown wormholes show up throughout the badlands and disappear after a short period of time. There is no conclusive evidence whether this is a natural phenomenon or not. A team of Order investigators will conduct scientific research on the phenomena. " )
audio = true
base = Hi01_02_Base
base = Li01_12_Base


(between " ) no space, but made one because of the smileys

Here's the solution: open up the script.xml file in mod's directory, and search for " );" (without the space and quotation marks). If you remove the last semicolon from the line it finds (replacing " );" with " )" ), then the mod will work fine.

Sorry, i never saw the "new post" icon in the forum, hence forgot to check back!

Argh! now it says that:

Error: FLMM has determined that 'The Order needs YOU!' won't properly activate.
Error: Unable to find dest 'price = 14460' in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\data\equipment\weapon_good.ini'

hope i changed the right thing...

Post Sat Jan 31, 2004 12:56 pm

either a price is wrong or a price is wrong in the weapon_good.ini file. take a peek in there, or try the SDK weapon_good.ini

what am i looking for exactly?

(found the file)

Post Sat Jan 31, 2004 1:58 pm

if i understand you correctly, then i had to replace " ) ; " with " ) " (without spaces)
well, i did that, but it stil gives the same error message.
hope you can help me again, but anyway thanks for the help I've had so far.

also, virus, if you let flmm restore backups, that error should be gone
