Shamefully nooby error

[Arisaya]

Unable to add image to library: 0

I keep getting this, and I forgot how to fix it! (I havn't seen that error since my first time trying to make a mod)

What I did was I ripped some ships and their graphics right out of TX2, fixed up all the UNIDS, and everything LOOKS like it should work, but it doesn't...

wow... I feel like such a total nubcake... >.<

From what I remember that is one of the more difficult things to troubleshoot sometimes because it could be quite a few things. I once had to scrap a mod and redo from the start because I couldn't fix it, never did find the problem, but it's usually something simple.

check for bad spelling for anything related to the image resources, and the file names, and the subfolder, etc., obviously make sure the image is there first. If that doesn't work check for duplicate unids.

(extra tidbit, if loadonuse is enabled for the ship's image if it is not there the game just crashes with no apparent error when the image is needed, just thought I should share that.)

That error can happen if the UNID specified for an image is a duplicate or if it is 0.

In this case, I think it might be because the UNID is 0 or missing. Is that possible?

When you figure it out, let me know what the problem was and I can add better error messages.

Turns out it was the combined curse of using too much copy+paste and trying to divide up my unids so they were "neat and tidy" >.<

What I had:

Code: Select all

	<!ENTITY unidExtension						"0xE314F300">

	<!ENTITY scKineticore2						"0xE314F301">
	<!ENTITY rsKineticore2						"0xE314F302">

Should have been:

I had that error once because I had defined a resource image in two seperate extensions.

Code: Select all

<Image UNID="&rsPylon;"		bitmap="Resources/Weapons-8-DB32.jpg" bitmask="Resources/Weapons-8-DB32Mask.bmp" backColor="0x00000000"/>

I used the image rsPylon in two mods and placed the Entity and (whatever that block of code is) in both mods.
