Heres a problem when I test my character wads

[Caleb David Mcgee]

It always show an error. Please Help.

We can't help you if we don't know what the error says.

 

[Caleb David Mcgee]

It's the S_SKIN.

 

[Sapheros]

What's wrong with the S_SKIN? Did you enter anything incorrectly in it?

(Also this should be moved to the help thread)

 

[Caleb David Mcgee]

This is what it really says: R_AddSkins: syntax error in S_SKIN lump# 0(S_SKIN) In wad calebthetesthog.wad

Did you read the character creation tutorial on the wiki?

 

[Caleb David Mcgee]

I did. But it didn't work when the S_SKIN error showed up.

 

[clairebun]

There must be something wrong with the script you wrote. Paste the contents of your code using the

[code]

tags and maybe we can correct it.

Heres what I wrote:
name = Caleb
flags = SF_RUNONWATER
realname = CALEB
hudname = CALEB MCGEE
face = LIVSONIC
startcolor = 34
prefcolor = dark_red
ability = CA_HOMINGTHOK
ability2 = CA2_SPINDASH
actionspd = 374
mindash = 3
maxdash = 1000
normalspeed = 37
runspeed = 1000
thrustfactor = 19
accelstart = 193
acceleration = 100
jumpfactor = 9.0
thokitem = MT_THOK
spinitem = MT_THOK
revitem = MT_THOK
highresscale = 9.0

Make sure your S_SKIN script is above all of your sprites. If that doesn't work, try changing "hudname = CALEB MCGEE" to "hudname = CALEB_MCGEE". (It shouldn't matter, but maybe the space is tipping it off.)

Theres another error.

It would be rather useful if you actually posted the errors that you get

 

[TelosTurntable]

Make sure there are no white spaces after the variables and stuff, then make sure 'skin name' in MAINCFG is the same as name in the S_SKIN.
If it's not, it registers as an error.

Well, maybe this will be helpful to you, just paste this-

name = Caleb
flags = SF_RUNONWATER|SF_NOSKID
realname = CALEB
hudname = CALEB_MCGEE
face = LIVSONIC
startcolor = 34
prefcolor = dark_red
ability = CA_HOMINGTHOK
ability2 = CA2_SPINDASH
actionspd = 374
mindash = 3
maxdash = 1000
normalspeed = 37 
runspeed = 1000
thrustfactor = 19
accelstart = 193
acceleration = 100
jumpfactor = 9.0

 

[Caleb David Mcgee]

Trying
name = Caleb
flags = SF_RUNONWATER|SF_NOSKID
realname = CALEB
hudname = CALEB_MCGEE
face = LIVSONIC
startcolor = 34
prefcolor = dark_red
ability = CA_HOMINGTHOK
ability2 = CA2_SPINDASH
actionspd = 374
mindash = 3
maxdash = 1000
normalspeed = 37
runspeed = 1000
thrustfactor = 19
accelstart = 193
acceleration = 100
jumpfactor = 9.0

I had to make new wads until the modern one worked.
It added modern abilities Sonic CE to.
