My apologies if this has been asked and answered, but during my fourth move of a Rommel in North Afrika game in TOAWIII an "event error" file was plopped onto my desktop, which I could open in notepad and read but it doesn't make any sense to me. what is the purpose of this file? Should I and my opponenet be concerned? I thank you in advance for any insight or a point toward the thread discussing same.
Cheers!

What's it say? Is it something about an event? Sometimes it's not a showstopper, sometimes it is. Okimaw had a bogus event that causes the entire German army to withdraw and his pbem game had to be abandonded.
seems it might be an error event left over from converting this scene to TOAWIII?
see http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=36449
it doesn't seem to be a game-killer, our game continues, but i was just curious because the TOAWIII dumped that text file to my desktop.
I was like WTH??!! :-) New game feature!?!? :-)
i can email the complete textfile if anyone wants. if another one shows up in this same scene I will post it.
Cheers!!! :)
No time like the present. :-) Here is the original text file dumped to my desktop by TOAWIII it named it End_of_Turn_Do_Not_Send_[our game name]_.SAL.EVENT ERRORS
(n.b. note, that it seems to be a text file generated as a layer on top of my end-of-turn .SAL file, it was not the SAL file, but was generated at the same time, just text which I opened in notepad, and copy here: (iirc this was plopped upon my end-of-fourth move as brits in Rommel North Afrika scene):
PS who the heck is Elmer?? :-)

Hey... you got the prize for the longest post on this forum... :surprise:
These kind of messages are added to my saves file on the end of each turn of every scenario i've played with TOAW III so far. There must be "something" about converting scenario from COW to TOAW III.
Up till now i coundn't find any dramatic errors... just 1 or 2 units that should have been withdraw and didn't (the odd thing is that i checked the events are they are OK on the editor...) and nothing much.
Patched .17 version
Almost forgot... Elmer is the engine...

Oh. That's the only one I've got so far...granted I haven't been playing a lot of TOAWIII, but I wonder, what the heck happened between event 116 and 159 that Elmer passed?:---->

:laugh: :laugh:
At this moment i think noboby is 100% sure about these messages and if they are correct or just something created by the engine without no real consequences.
I suggest you wait a bit and stay tunned. Mark is making extentive tests on his EA scenario (one of the most complex) on TOAW 3 and something will "show up".
Check EA sub-forum for more details
Damn thing is gettin bigger every move......
(the event error file, that is....)
If I was inclined I'd take this sucker apart and fix 'r up, but I am very clumsy.
At the least, something along the lines of "in the news....." published in the recent scene news,
"AXIS, 629th Cadre arrested while on R&R in Casabalanca. Denied gambling and desertion charges, 50% chance withdrawn."
