A CTD! Help me!

I have edited the Character Traits File and have changed the Export_VnVs to make it have sense. I have spent ages changing these files! Is there a program I can use to find errors in particular files?

here is malrubius' trait and ancillary validator: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=55732

next time remember to make back-ups of the files and only make little changes before testing

and if you run into trouble again check the links database for tutorials (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local_links.php?catid=70)

I ain't added new ones or deleted any old ones. I have edited thresholds and eddited/created/deleted effects in the trait section. In trigger section I have eddited/deleted/added traits and have edited points and chances. Are u sure the validator cheked this. I did as the instructions said and I don't know how to find if I have errors from the 3 files that are produced.

I think the main thing I did when I changed numbers to postive or negative I made it so there was always 2 spaces between the number so negatives will have the wrong amount of spaces or just 1 space so that positive numbers were wrong. Would this tool find it?

you can't have negatives unfortunately...
thresholds are like a tally that each time the required results of a trigger are made another one of the threshold is added, when it reaches a certain amount on the threshold it will make that level of the trait be gained

but, as well as thresholds, negatives can't be used at all i don't think which is why the trait validator isn't working

no no no. I meant the effects like:

command 1
command -1

I have on some of them:

command 1 (1 space, should be 2)

And on others:

command -1 (2 spaces, should be 1)

Could the validator find mistakes like this?
