I have made a few alterations in the events file..
and no upon loading I get (on the first attempt only)

Error in line 2162 and Error in line 6254..

My question is how does the program count the lines within this file? and what does it not count?

Cause I have put the file into a prog which shows line numbers and I have deleted the 2 pieces of media which are located at these lines and still getting the error..

I have also gone and built the file up slowly from creating a new fiel and entering the first 2,000 lines and then 100 each time and then starting the game to try to narrow down where the error is.. but I cant see it..

Any solutions?

My question is, what 'alterations' did you make to the events file?

We can go from there...

I bascially added a few of my own in game media events... and the majority of them went well apart from these 2 which are giving the error and since I cant see what the program counts as lines I cant find them and i cant see where the error is in them...

I've followed the standard way of making the diff events

These are just a few... I have added over 100 at diff intervals and with no erroring... so Im highly conufsed

Examples:
> 20, 900,
INGAME ENGLISH: <p1> turns and beats <p2> all ends up.. NUTS!!!
REPORT ENGLISH: <p2> was beaten all ends up by <p1>
REPLAY ENGLISH:

> 10, 1400, 9
INGAME ENGLISH: <p1> seems to be injured|On comes the <t> physio...Magic Sponge time
REPORT ENGLISH: <p1> was in need of the physio's attention

Start back at zero. Add them back in a few at a time and when it crashes, remove it.

Damn... thought there would be an easier way suchas some sort of editor or a program SI used to create the file that was available..

lol...looks like a good few hrs work ahead of me thanks anyways

I had these kind of errors myself when editing the events.cfg. The specific error I had was along the lines of:
'Unknown character in line (whatever)'
After some experimentation, I found that the cursor wasn't fully at the left hand side of the file - which had created the 'unknown character' - ie, a blank space. I found these by opening the file, placing the cursor at the left side and then using the arrow down key on my keyboard and backspaced each time the cursor wasn't at the extreme left. Long and tedious yes, but the only way I know how to erradicate this particular error.
I hope you understand the above and that it may help you.

My pleasure mate, I just hope it helps you out.

Well thats one error out of the way lol...

who'd have thought a space on a blank line can cause so much hassle.. now just the last error to do..but I'll get there
