Custom faction troubles...

Yesterday I finished the 7 faction files for my Earth scenario and I added them to the game. However, when I know start SMAX, after a while there appears a message with the title 'Faction parser'. It says:

quote:

Could not find the following entry in a faction file:
xxx(eg. China)
The faction file was:
xxx(with this example again China)
This entry is mandatory for faction files.

I don't really get what this message means and what I have to do to solve the problem. Does anybody know what the problem is and how it can be solved? I would be very grateful...

I have had this one several times before - it probably means there is some sort of spelling mistake in your faction file. Go into china.txt (or whatever it is called) and go through it with a fine toothcomb - that is what was wrong when I got that message anyway.

Thanks for answering! I managed to solve the problem.
