Title: Team HQ Events Images Missing
Post by: thurston_studios on August 05, 2013, 07:51:54 PM: Hello there gametechmods,
I have been working on a modded version of RA2 that includes different version parts and a few other changes. My latest addition has been to add more AI teams to the events available, and I have hit an aesthetic snag in my plans. Checking out the events page (in team HQ), I find that all the images for the events are nothing more than blank white images.

I was just wondering if one of you modders out there would know just where in the game files I might have a conflict or missing file that might cause this error. Any help would be much appreciated

The white pictures are an indication that there is a problem in the Events.txt file. There is no conflict or missing files.

I am assembling a modded version of the game for a friend, and it is largely new territory for me

Thanks man, I fixed the images (easy enough)

Was wondering about the batch file, and how stable it is? Thinking of incorporating that as part of a new .exe so that the game would always have access to the Jim's Mod expanded AI inclusions.

Any time you are messing with a bunch of files on a filesystem, you run the risk of corrupting one or making it unusable. For example, shutting down the computer or terminating the batch file before it has a chance to finish may cause either of these issues to present themselves depending on where it is in terms of execution.
