I am not as stupid as I look. The local was clear, I disassembled a plugin into the local, added some projectiles, artifacts, monsters, and objects. Scripted a bit, and I get this error. I did a search in this forum and didn't see any obvious answers from a look through.

[Omicron]

An interesting note is that the tag "L forest giant dig spell 2 - Co" isn't even in the local until I try running the mesh from the local. I don't point any new monsters to it, as it isn't there, but it somehow just pops up. (or maybe it is there the whole time and I am as stupid as I look)

[Pyro]

Did you have something open that was accessing these local tags? If not, just to make sure there isn't some process running in the background still thinking it has it open, restart your computer and retry. Don't have Fear/Loathing open when you actually load that map.

As I said the dig spell 2 tag wasnt even being used, and I suspect it is some sort of ghost in the machine, I deleted it and tried again. Above is the error I still get. I have restarted before, between tries. I also checked task manager for running processes.

Dear Sirs,

This error is interesting. I have found I can make up to 88 dollars an hour working from your house. Click here for one weird tip on how to lose your bellyfat bit.ly/wageforfreespur.

[Omicron]

Dur, hey that sounds like a good deal.

[Omicron]

There is no projectile "l fm", so I figured that must be the subgroup. But there is not projectile with "l fm" sub group either.

[Omicron]

Ok, I thought that error meant that something was improperly defined. And I found the obscure field that was causing all the problems. Override attack in the artifact tag. By default the sequences are set to "storm bolt icon". Had to set them to no sequence.

[capital]

It is good you found the solution, I thought perhaps rebooting the computer would clear the error. Though it sounds like the issue was much more obscure.

[Omicron]

Capital, you missed the Hero Quest game man.

[capital]

Yeah, I couldn't make it to the updated calender date. Are you still running the games at certain dates?

[Omicron]

Not really, but there are those who would play if we tried to get a game up on an evening. Easy 4 players.

[Omicron]

How do you specify what is displayed in the inventory list? I have an artifact that grants an ability and it shows up as carried projectile.

[Pyro]

Fear > artifact tag > Special Ability

You select the string list tag there just the way you would when going to a monster tag and selecting it for the "Special Ability" string list dropdown.

[Omicron]

And the string list will have two lines, the first is what will appear in the inventory listing, and on the left side of the screen when you unit hit their special ability key.

The second line is what will appear on the right side of the screen.
