GSM 2008 - Stuff 'nagan' not found

[Imp]

Hi all,
After finishing the game I got GSM 2008 and installed it.
The first mission (Chepel) plays fine although it's the standard mission with new sounds I think.
The problem is that I get an Exception error while loading the Monastery mission. The error says:

Stuff 'nagan' not found (estuffs.cpp, 69)
>> world: load mission "/map/1-katusha/1_3-monastery/0.mi"
> file "/map/1-katusha/1_3-monastery/0.mi"

And then some (code?) lines 1107 upto 1111 like: {item "nagan" << {cell 0 0 }}

I guess I'm missing the rifle :) but is there anything I can do about it?

Edit the script :yes: by removing the nagan you should be able to play it ;)

Sorry but which one? There are fourteen 0.mi files and they are in directories like SchlachtumCharkov and Wittmanns_Attack.
These are names of bonus missions and I'm playing the Russian campaign.

The string /map/1-katusha/1_3-monastery/0.mi means a path I suppose. I think it points to one of the large pak files. No?

The object that cause this problem it's a russian pistol.
--go to the original game folder
--there it's a folder "game.pak" aprox.808 mb
--right-click on him and open with winrar
--go to "map/1-katusha/1_3-monastery

in this folder right-click on "0.mi" and extract ....this is that monastery mission code
--open it with notepad
--in the mission code look for this:


{Entity "_infantry2_rus" 0x8064
{Position 5087.09 3658.97 0}
{Turn 66.894}
{Extender "vitality"
{Dead}
{Energy 0.01}
}
{Extender "inventory"
{box
{clear}
{item "ammo pistol" 66 {cell 4 0}}
{item "nagan" {cell 0 0}}
{item "ppsh" {cell 0 1}}
}
}
{DisableObstacles}
{Player 1}
{MID 54}
{Able {select 0}{talk 0}}
{Breed "rus.infantry_smg"}
{FsmState "dead"}
}

This type of error appear when the monastery 0.mi file it's modified...but if was in that original game archive...strange :huh:
Must be something not in order in the "set" folder of the mod.

As Latdonine suggest you cab delete this nagan. Save the mission. Next the hard_way:
--go gain to that "game.pak" folder and extract all
--replace the altered "o.mi" with that without nagan pistol
--archivate the entire folder again...and you will have a game.rar folder...
--rename it to "game.pak"...place in the game folder
--and it should work.....
-- :!: I am not 100% sure ...but you can try

For the moment I don't know what to say more cause I don't have the mod installed

You could try the German Soldiers forums (http://www.germansoldiers.net/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=14), Dus. Though I'm not sure whether english is an option on their forum there are quite a few of the fellows there who can help you with this I'm sure :) . If you do find a fix please let us know too :yes: .

[Blub0r2k]

i will try to fix that with the new update.

pls post all known errors here pls, so i can take a look ;)

Sorry for not replying earlier, work seriously gets in the way of play.
Here's what I did:

I followed mp5_sd's instructions on unpacking the game.pak.
Removed the "nagan" line.
When repacking I get an approx 606MB file, the game can't load it.
When repacking with the "store" option (winrar) I get an approx 1340MB file, the game can't load this either.
(IOW: How should I repack?)
I then decided to just extract all files to their respective directories. This works, only two logo bmps are in both a
directory and the game.pak.
Now the game gives the "nagan" error on the mi file in the directory belonging to the level. I removed the
"nagan" line from that file.
Now the game only says "program will be terminated" :ouch:

Uninstalled GSM2008. Installed GSM2007 + Update. Play through Chepel and start Monastery. Save.
Uninstalled GSM2007. Reinstalled GSM2008.
At this point there's no "nagan" in the files. When starting all over with a new profile I can play Chepel and
Monastery.

@mp5_sd : You said "Must be something not in order in the "set" folder of the mod."
Is there something I can do there?

@Blub0r2k : If you already know what the problem is I won't bother anymore. GSM 2007 plays fine :D

You dont need unpack and pack nothing and less game.pak file .... :wilting:

[Imp]

I had to change a file inside the game.pak. Repacking gave a file that the game can't read.

[Albus]

Thats not true, you NEVER have to modify your game.pak.

Problem is mod GSM2008, if you modify your game.pak, then other mods dont work and standard game probably dont work. :confused:

Dont touch game.pak ! You are warned ! :grandpa:

[Imp]

So when I use separate files that are also in game.pak the separate (read: modified) files take precedence? In that case I understand what you mean. This takes me back to AotP days :lol:
