some really wierd error

[missik]

I keep getting this error message:

Script error in my_mod/data/export_unit_descr.txt, at line 3038, column 34.

carthaginian onager missile range of 300 is impossible with its current projectile (boulder, max range 293)

I suddenly got this. I never touched any projectile or boulder info, I didn't touch any siege weaponry and then suddenly this keeps on coming up and forces CTD. At first it was barb dacian onager, and then when i changed the range from 300 to 290 it then came up with an error for barb scythian onager, and then when i changed that too, now it's the cartahginian onager! do you know why?

It means that with the given angles and velocity set for that siege machine projectiles (code lies in descr_projectile_new.txt) the range you have given is impossible. Either reduce the range values or go to the projectiles file and increase the velocity of the projectile used by these onagers. I suspect a slight increase will do. If you do the latter, also change the velocity of the fiery_boulder projectile.

but do you know why this came up even though I didn't add or remove or edit any values or such in the projectiles?

[Aradan]

There is a formula that calculates the max range of every projectile. That formula is based on values that lie in the projectiles-file and produces a result that lies in the EDU. If you change the EDU and give range a value that is greater than the maximum allowed, then you'll get a message. In order not to get that message you'll have to adjust the projectiles-file according to the chnages you did in the EDU. It is exactly because you didn't re-adjust the values in there that you got that eror message.

would this be because I tried to add a cavalry archer unit whos range was 110 but tried to raise it to 180? that's the only thing I did before that error started coming up

you changed projectile speed, thats the only explanation as onagers in vanilla have a range of 300 and to get below it you need to decrease the velocity of the projectile, only way to get that error ...
(check the time-stamp on the file ...)
