*Fixed!* "Failed to load map file" "Failure parsing entity 19: Parsed invalid value '}' for key'."

*Fixed!*

 

Worked the past -12- hours on a little something and get "Failure parsing entity 19: Pared invalid value '}' for key'. Aaand of course I don't have a backup, but the map is still running in TDM in test mode.

 

Is there a way to fix this or dump the map file from the game?

 

 

 

Edit: I opened the .map file with Wordpad (Not Noteblock, as it can't save in the right format), searched and removed the responsible lines corrupting the file and were able to load the map into DR again.

Can you search for entity 19 in your map file and collect a snippet of text (then post it)?

I could open the map file with Wordpad (Not notepad, or it couldn't save the format again!)

 

Searched for the invalid text and deleted the responsible strings, and it works again now. Phew!

 

Thanks for coming to the rescue though, nbohr1more

No problem. Glad this worked!

 

I would suggest you try "Notepad++" next time. Microsoft has a habit of placing unwanted markup in their document formats...

[Kvorning]

Will try that, as you're completely right and I'm slacking on standard programs

[nbohr1more]

Yeah, I like Notepad++ because it intelligently pick's up delimiters in most document formats.

 

You can even install a Doom Script plugin and see your script files in color.

 

I haven't checked whether there's an equivalent map or material plugin but I suspect it wouldn't be too hard to create

one... hmmm...

I don't dabble much in scripting but it'll no doubt be a help when I try to expand on it
