Custom faction troubles...

[Maniac]

Yesterday I finished the 7 faction files for my Earth scenario and I added them to the game. However, when I know start SMAX, after a while there appears a message with the title 'Faction parser'. It says:

<center><table width=80%><tr><td><font color=000080 face="Verdana" size=2><font size="1">quote:
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1>
</font>Could not find the following entry in a faction file:
xxx(eg. China)
The faction file was:
xxx(with this example again China)
This entry is mandatory for faction files.
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>

I don't really get what this message means and what I have to do to solve the problem. Does anybody know what the problem is and how it can be solved? I would be very grateful...

I have had this one several times before - it probably means there is some sort of spelling mistake in your faction file. Go into china.txt (or whatever it is called) and go through it with a fine toothcomb - that is what was wrong when I got that message anyway.

Thanks for answering! I managed to solve the problem.
