ok having another problem...trying to start POL

Post by Talon Rhein »

I am using the tutorial on How to Create your own Shard! and I am following all the directions. I have looked thru every post that has anything to do with the vitalInit.src and still can't get it to load without errors. It is telling me that the vitalInit.ecl does not exist. As I said I did a forum search for everything that has to do with this script but I could not find out how anyone has resolved the issue. I am using POL 097.

Thank you for any help.

I think that might be the first thing it searches for, so perhaps you don't have the paths setup correctly in pol.cfg, or you don't have compiled scripts (eg check vitalinit.ecl exists)

.ecl is a compiled script so usually searching by its name won't return much. Now the fact that it doesn't exist is where the problem is. My questions would be these:

1. Are you sure you compiled your scripts?
2. Does vitalinit.src exist anywhere within the subfolders?
2a. if 2 is yes, does vitalinit.ecl exist in that same folder?
3. Does it show any errors when compiling?
