I'll have to download this and see if I get all the same results.

It's pretty much the same as Jaesens from back in the day but a useful tool all the same

You are not alone. Sometimes i read here also posts that i cant understand.

But hopefully i can enlighten it a bit. As an first example i use this line:

"CDAAPlatform.cfg;E:\SilentHunterIII\data\Roster\S outhAfrica\Land\CDAAPlatform.cfg;==Entry not found== AppearanceDate DisappearanceDate DisplayName"

This is one line taken out the result from my Tool above, used from my old SH3-DVD-install. Vanilla without any Mods installed. I can not say, if the same will be found on youre Reworked-Rus Mod.

Look in Roster\SouthAfrica\Land Drawer there is CDAAPlatform.cfg located. Look into this file. Maybe you will see that there is no AppearanceDate no DisappearanceDate and no DisplayName.

On my Install it looks so:
8<------

[UnitClass]
ClassName=CDAAPlatform
UnitType=404
FirstAppearanceDate=19380101

[Unit 1]
Name=CDAAPlatform
DOC=19380101
DOD=19480101
8<------

This is not really a big problem to this specific file, since (to my knowledge) this CDAAPlatform (AA Defense) from SouthAfrica ist not used anywhere in the original SH3-Campaign files. But there may be other files that may be anyhow related to the Campaign. So the Tool tries to check all files.
You will see whats wrong with this file, if you open the Missioneditor ME and try to import this AA Defense (from SouthAfrica) into the Campaign_LND.mis. First you may notice the "UnitName" and the "Unit new name" looks ugly. On my sytem it is "8÷ ". (3 digits in hex 38 F7 18) This cant be right. The reason is no DisplayName entry in the file. The ME seems to use some uninitialised Memory to display the Name.
Next try to change the Date in FirstAppearanceDate to something different. Maybe change only the Year from 19380101 to 19390101. You may then reload ME. You may see that there is no difference in the "Entry Date" entry. ME seems to use something default only. The reason is the FirstAppearanceDate has to be in fact to work propperly AppearanceDate.
So my Tool says "==Entry not found== AppearanceDate..." and the other entries which are not there.


As a second example i use this line:

"DDSomers.cfg;E:\SilentHunterIII\data\Roster\Ameri can\Sea\DDSomers.cfg;==Line:59 "[Unit 11]" Sequential Order=="

Go to Roster\American\Sea\DDSomers.cfg Line 59. There you may find a second entry of "[Unit 10]". The Units are not sequential ordered. My Tool says "==Line:59 "[Unit 11]" Sequential Order==".
The effect for the game may be probably only a waste of space, but i do not know for shure what other effect this will have.


"==not (or Err) in AirLndOrdSeaSub (or Roster)=="
can be mean two things. Either this Entry is not in AirLndOrdSeaSub (or Roster) or there is an Quirk in the AirLndOrdSeaSub (or Roster) files found.

The first one (==not in...) can be risky when these also used in the Campaigne.


Hope this helps.

[Bump]
Update to v1.7b

Added Type and Origin only (without Class specified) Check to CampaigneCheck. Needed for almost all in *RND.

So my Tool is now at a state that i want it, and this mass Updates comes to an end (hopefully when no more heavy Bugs found).

Have fun.
Greetings.

Uhm.
Somewhere on one of the last versions i lost the ability to search for Docked Units in the Campaign-Check, so one more version is underway.

In the meantime here my Test-files for the Messages-Check, the messages-file and a SingleMission-file that i use.

OK - means the message is shown ingame.
NOP - means NoOperation, the message is not shown ingame.

Your version 1.7b does not save English(German)Names--NrCheck.cfg

When no Quirks found, there is no need for an identical copy of the Names.cfg. If something found, the file is saved (not deleted).

Please be more specific. Is WinMerge opened with Differences found?
Yes? You can also save out of WinMerge then. Or, as long as WinMerge is open, use your filemanager to make a copy of this *NrCheck.cfg.

Greetings.

and all other Users interested in:

The "EnGeNames Check" will Abort its job, when the file are prior already checked and contains "--CHECK--"-lines. These lines are only hints.
EnGeNames--NrCheck.cfg is not a real EnGeNames.cfg-file and therefore should not used as a standard EnGeNames.cfg-file.

Look in Reworked-Rus-Lite/Air/GermanNames.cfg. Lots of --Check--Lines on the end...

I'm thinking about to rename the *NrCheck.cfg to *.txt. Time will tell.

Greetings.

@Hebe Vollmaus
Thank you for Your support. Yes. it's my fault. I was going to add these lines, but obviously I'll do it later.

Hebe Vollmaus, I cannot send you a PM due to privacy settings.
Could you give an email address?
