Need help with mod prob

[XMon]

Hey

I'm working on a mod for personal use and when I try and load the scenario I get this error message:

units.txt:2061:Unknown token

Line 2061 is the second line below: UNIT_IRONCLAD {

I don't see anything wrong with that line or with the entire unit section. Anybody see anything I missed?

## UNIT 35

Made a couple of changes, changed the vision class and added the IgnoreZOC and NoZoc tags and removed CanExpel. Oh yeah, also added IsFlanker but I did that with several other units also. I can't figure it out. Any help?

Btw, have Diplomod installed and also have the PWSlic and Frenzy SLIC in this scenario.

Thanks in advance

It actually souns like the problem lies in uniticon.txt. It may be that there is a spelling error in the ICON_UNIT_IRONCLAD line, so when the game looks for ICON_UNIT_IRONCLAD, it can't find it, hence it says "unknown token".
I hope this helps

Description isn't used in the game, so DESCRIPTION_UNIT_IRONCLAD probably doens't exist. Replace it with DESCRIPTION_UNIT_WARRIOR or whatever and the problem should go away...

I think it is more likely that the entry for the previous unit wasn't properly closed with a }. In that case the game would think that UNIT_IRONCLAD is a flag for the unit coming before it. This sort of problems in units.txt often result from non-matching numbers of left { and right } brackets.

Edit: or Locutus may be right. I hadn't noticed that yet.

DESCRIPTIONS are in place and the ironclad decription is there. The lines may not be used as such, but they are in junk_str.txt.

According to strings.txt the stuff in junk_str.txt is needed for the executable.

Paul, you are correct. The previous unit was missing a "}" Thanks very much!

Now I've gotta go search out all the other bugs...like how many times I spelled "Mountain" as "Moutain."
