Okay, so thinking back...prepare for a wall of text.
When I first got this error, I was modding away on some units like I usually do, just going about my way, when suddenly, after some modding, the game crashes. Okay, I thought. I'll just go into the Bf2modtools, witness the crash again, and then go see what the error was. Almost all the time it's the units, but this...when I saw this, I was befuddled. I did not know what to make of it. It looked like a different language that I had never seen before (I look at it now and it's English, but it wasn't at first. ) So, I do what usually one would do in the modding community would do: Go back and do a manual clean and imagine everything would be okay. Nope! It's still there. Only this time, it's effecting both my mod eras. Here is the error.


Please...what does this mean....I cannot do anything until I figure this out, but I need help.

EDIT: Fixed. See the last post.

Right now it seems the best thing you could do is retrace your steps to before the error began to show up. What is the last thing you changed before seeing this error?

Well, it was a little while ago, so it's a little blurry. What I'm doing now is looking at all the files and the dates they were edited. For some reason, the last thing I edited was a machine gun for the rebel alliance. Think the only thing I changed was the spread amount. But then something else comes up: The extraweapons.HUD file was the last thing edited in the common folder. Do you think that might have something to do with it?

It'a much more probable that it was the extraweapons. A simple mistake in a weapon odf would probably not generate this type of error.

Try replacing it with a normal one (backing up this one, of course.)

I have found the problem! It was something I did to the Extraweapons.hud! Now this is a new hypothesis of mine, but I take it you can't add weapons into the extraweapons.hud that are already showing up on the hud? That makes me wonder though...I'll get back to you guys momentarily.

EDIT: Btw Marth8880, your avatar is very distracting, but funny.

What exactly do you mean? Are you talking about overwriting stock weapon models' with new transforms? For example, you'd take rep_weap_inf_rifle.msh and add some lines in the extraweapons.hud for it, changing its transforms. Is that what you mean?


EDIT:

LOL

What I mean is a weapon that, without a patch such as the 1.2 or 1.3 patch, would show up as a floating icon. But the thing is, with the patch and a modified ingame.lvl, the weapon in question shows up on the hud, yes, but it also shows a floating weapon icon. This is bothering me. Now I think I have an idea to fix that, but I'm glad I got the problem in question figured out. Thanks guys!
