Okay, now that we have the lua, here's how we search for the error. We see that the issue happened on or near line 161, based on something that happens on line 132, and it looks like a bracket is missing. First thing to do is download SciTE (which according to Psych0fred is what some of the Pandemic developers used). Make sure you download the Windows version, and not the source code. Once you have it installed, open the lua in it. The first thing you'll notice is that everything is pretty and color coded, which makes luas much easier to work with.

So in SciTE, click "View" then "Line Numbers", then scroll down to 132. On 132 we see SetupTeams{. On line 161 it's expecting that we'd have a } to close out SetupTeams{}, but it's missing. Instead we see AddUnitClass(REP, "rep_inf_501st_jettrooper",1,2). The solution? Add a } to line 160 to close out SetupTeams{}.

Now that might not be the only error you'll find. The munge only records the first error it sees, and line 164:

AddUnitClass(CIS, "'Random() will return between 0 and 1, so we need to multiply it by the number of units we want

Is also messed up. Remember I said: If you want something closer to what you need, check out Lucasfart's code

ok thx tean
