Hey everybody,

Everytime I want to play BFME with a mod the game crashes.

Last time this error aquired:

Expected signed integer value or predefined macro, but found 'GONDOR_MARKETPLACE_EXP_AWARD'

Error parsing field 'ExperienceAward' in block 'ExperienceLevel' in file 'Date\INI\ExperienceLevels.ini', line 5645.

Error parsing INI block' ExperienceAward' in file 'Data\INI\Experiencelevels.ini'.

Because of the severity of this error the game will now exit.


:lol:


Errors like this aquire all the time.. TheAgeofAlliance mod also had a error like this, only that was more like:

Token 'TREADS' is not a valid member of the index list

Error parsing field 'Appearance' in block 'Locomotor' in file 'Data\INI|Locomotor.ini', line 1966.



:p


So, whats the big problem here? It's really frustrating seeing all you people have so much fun trying all those mods and me not be able to.. :dry: :sad:

the same thing happens to me. It is so annoying I have been trying for a week to try and get the shadows of evil mod working but everytime even if i have the 1.02 patch it still comes up with a crash saying:

Expected signed integer value or predefined macro, but found 'GONDOR_MARKETPLACE_EXP_AWARD'

Error parsing field 'ExperienceAward' in block 'ExperienceLevel' in file 'Date\INI\ExperienceLevels.ini', line 5645.

Error parsing INI block' ExperienceAward' in file 'Data\INI\Experiencelevels.ini'.

Because of the severity of this error the game will now exit.

no matter what i try and do it never works and just always crashes it happen with every mod i try to put on BFME

;) :huh: ;) :lol: :rolleyes:

If it isn't working for any of the mods you install then it is defenately the patch. If all else fails you may need to reinstall your game and then patch it.

Have you gotten any mods to run ever? If so, which ones? There are a few mods out there that will mess up your game and force you to reinstall when ever you get rid of the mod. And they could be messing with your game.

If you post easier, maybe one of the great 3rdage people would care to help you :D

And don't post the same question twice

Question=Ok, I must be doing it wrong or something, I feel as if I've tried everything, can you please tell me step by step how one get the shadows of evil mod working. I think what I'm doing wrong is saving the mod the patch(:p) and everything in the wrong place, so please can you just tell me where to put all the stuff.

Answer=Double click on the auto installer, and follow the instructions given.
Then (atleast for me) move the big file and the folder for shadows of evil from the install folder (Application Data) to the original bfme folder (C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Battle for Middle-Earth) and make sure the shortcut is now "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Battle for Middle-earth ™\lotrbfme.exe" -mod ShadowsOfEvilMod.big

You don't need to move it to the bfme install directory. As long as it is in your My Battle for Middle-earth Files folder and the target of the shortcut is
"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Battle for Middle-earth ™\lotrbfme.exe" -mod ShadowsOfEvilMod.big
then it will work. If you move it to the bfme install directory then you can't play the original game, and you wouldn't need the new shortcut.

As was stated above:

If you have reinstalled the game and updated your game with the patch (which auto-installs), and you use the default directories (ie: you didn't change where the game installs to) then all you need to do is run the auto-installer that comes with the mod and it should work.

The mod is specifically designed so that you don't have to move any files for it to work and you can play the regular BFME with the mod installed. Once you have installed the mod just double click on the custom shortcut that comes with the mod and should be on your desktop...then the game will start up the modded version.

I had to move it ^_^
Before I moved it, when i tried to use the shortcut, it says that it's an invalid shortcut, but maybe that's only on my computer :sleep:
