I was just playing my faction for the first time, and I dunno what causes it... Anyone know what causes it? Code: WARNING: Error running OnFrame script in CScriptObject at 05b4d9c0: ...- forged alliance\gamedata\lua.scd\lua\ui\uiutil.lua(309): attempt to concatenate local `filespec' (a nil value)

The error means that you've done a string concatenation (glueing two bits of text together to make one bit of text) on something that didn't exist.
Basically, I think you've forgotten to make a particular file, or add some factional stuff to a file.
Which file? I don't know, but you should have enough information in the error message to start looking.

Well it's pretty clear that filespec variable is nil. Make sure you don't have an error prior to this.

I assume you've remembered that everyone has a factional in-game UI.
What textures does your faction use?

The error tells you where it's originating - unitview.lua line 278: Code: controls.vetIcons[i]:SetTexture(UIUtil.UIFile(Factions.Factions[Factions.FactionIndexMap[string.lower(bp.General.FactionName)]].VeteranIcon)) It's not able to find your faction's veteran caret texture. Did you make sure your faction has a VeteranIcon specified, and that you added your faction name to the FactionIndexMap, and verified that all of your units' bp.General.FactionName matches that name in the FactionIndexMap?

Hi,
Yeah the error in the op pertains to VeteranIcon being a nil value.. in
/lua/factions.lua
the entry VeteranIcon = ... is nil or missing.. from your factions faction table..
and also as milthy says.. every unit in your faction has to have the faction name.. defined in its bp.. where it says in the error.. General.FactionName section.

Hi, the next point i would check is that Factions.Factions[Factions.FactionIndexMap[string.lower(bp.General.FactionName)]].VeteranIconfrom Code: controls.vetIcons[i]:SetTexture(UIUtil.UIFile(Factions.Factions[Factions.FactionIndexMap[string.lower(bp.General.FactionName)]].VeteranIcon)) is actually returning something.. the error is originating from uifile, saying that the filespec is nil.. this means that the above is nil.. which leads us to thinking that the faction data is not being inserted into factions table correctly.. OR the above is not looking in the correct place.

if not.. repr(Factions.Factions) and see if your Faction is within this table.

The Error only shows up when a Wob unit gains veterancy. Domino wrote: if not.. repr(Factions.Factions) and see if your Faction is within this table.
Uh....Want to try telling me that again in English?

ummm, come on brandon, get with the program... you have access to the factions table.. me and mithy have pasted the problem a few times now.. it will take 2 seconds to log the Factions.Factions table.. unitview.lua line 278 Code: controls.vetIcons[i]:SetTexture(UIUtil.UIFile(Factions.Factions[Factions.FactionIndexMap[string.lower(bp.General.FactionName)]].VeteranIcon)) put a log just above that line to repr(Factions.Factions) to make sure your faction is in this table.... in other words look at the data produced in the log from this repr

Like this? Code: local veterancyLevels = bp.Veteran or veterancyDefaults
for index = 1, 5 do
local i = index
if info.kills >= veterancyLevels[string.format('Level%d', i)] then
controls.vetIcons[i]:Show()
LOG('*DEBUG: VETERAN UP!', repr(Factions.Factions))
controls.vetIcons[i]:SetTexture(UIUtil.UIFile(Factions.Factions[Factions.FactionIndexMap[string.lower(bp.General.FactionName)]].VeteranIcon))
else
controls.vetIcons[i]:Hide()
end
end
