I think my modtools hate me. I have not been able to successfully do, well, anything in the past few days, and for an apparently strange reason. Here's my largest issue though:

Everything was working fine until I added another custom unit. When i did this, it gave me the missing bracket error, and crashed my map. So I took it out. Next time I munge though, half my troopers are missing due to no longer having .msh files for their weapons; I checked my msh folder, and they were still there. Ignoring this for the moment, I tried to give one of my custom units that had already worked perfectly a new secondary weapon (yes i made sure it had the weapon channel set to 1). Here's what's bizarre. When I munged, nothing happened at all. So I go and hit the clean function in the after hitting the Modtool VIsualMunge button. When I go to play, the map crashes, with the problems in the error log:

(i made green as an apparent problem, but the unit it goes on about doesnt exist anymore. BLue is what I think the problem is)
note: i added to the soldier animation count, made it 700. didnt work. Also, the troopers are who are missing their req files (which i checked and double checked) worked before I had problems

and here's my munge log:

if anyone could help me out with this, I would be very much happy

For future reference. Don't even bother trying in-game if you get munge errors. Warnings are okay. Errors are not.

Lol was just thinking I should put in what Teancum always says but he beat me to it.

Any all there errors you are getting in the log are from the error you got in the munge log, there is nothing missing from the sides as such but the error you got killed the side.

It dont matter what ye largest problem be, it matters what ye first problem was. No matter what ye be doin', as before I sail out as ye get a munge error ye stop and fix that error before anythin' else.

Cleans only works before a munge. When mungin', VisualMunge goes through all ye files and checks fer ones that changed since th' last munge. mopin' makes VisualMunge forget which files it had seen before and makes it remunge everythin' compared to just what had be changed.

Check th' FAQ and do a manual spit shine. Then remunge and ye spy with ye eye th' real errors ye need to fix. th' first error be always th' most important, because it may be causin' th' later errors.

My brain kinda hurts now, but i suppose I'll try and desipher your post and fix the problem tommorrow. I'll see how it goes

It doesn't matter what your largest problem is, it matters what your first problem was. No matter what you are doing, as soon as you get a munge error you stop and fix that error before anything else.

Clean only works before a munge. When munging, VisualMunge goes through all your files and checks for ones that changed since the last munge. Cleaning makes VisualMunge forget which files it has seen before and makes it remunge everything compared to just what had be changed.

Check the FAQ and do a manual clean. Then remunge and you should see the real errors you need to fix. The first error is always the most important, because it may be causing the later errors.

Well, the first error I had was when I added a new unit. That's all. I removed it and everything about it (req, odf, .lua etc.)
and it gave me the other errors. I'm trying to fix whatever went wrong, but I'm having a hard time doing just that.

edit: that was fast. I discovered the source of the problem and removed it. Works better now, except two of my units won't show up still. Also, my rep rifles shows up as invisible ingame, even though the .msh for them is still in the folder. Any advice for that?
