What's goin on with my description.ext?

[Gooner861]

I know this shud probably be put in the topic at the top of this section but what the hell.

Right this is my description.ext:

class CfgMusic
{
   tracks[]={music, crimson};

   class music
   {
   name = "ROCK";
   sound[] = {\music\music.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
};
   class crimson
   {
   name = "crimson";
   sound[] = {\music\crimson.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
   };
};
};

Now it worked fine before wen i just had the one class which was "ROCK", but now i want to add another song to the list so i added "crimson", thinking ive dun it all rite. Now wen i go into the mission editor and i try to load up my mission where this music has been put, the whole game crashes and an error comes up like this:

Error
opflashpoint/ file name/ mission name/ description.ext (sum weird symbol like a D with a hash through it) encountered instead of '='

I dont understand, all the = signs are where they shud b   .

didn't really look at your ext, just used the wizard to make 1 of my own with your music names, here it is, hope it helps:
 

Code: [Select]

class CfgMusic
{
   // List of music tracks (.ogg files without the .ogg extension)
   tracks[] = {music, crimson};

   // Class definition needed for each music track
   class music
   {
      // Name to display in mission editor
      name = "music";
      // Music path, volume, pitch
      sound[] = {\music\music.ogg, db + 0, 1.0};
   };
   class crimson
   {
      // Name to display in mission editor
      name = "crimson";
      // Music path, volume, pitch
      sound[] = {\music\crimson.ogg, db + 0, 1.0};
   };
};

Looks like you've got one closing bracket to much...
There should only be two and not three at the end

This is really odd, thanks for the suggestions guys but it's still not workin .

I copied and pasted Zombie's description.ext and replaced it with my existing one, but it still crashed each time i tryed to load my mission from the editor with the same error message.   .
I can't even edit the mission i'm making!!!!!

Anymore suggestions as to what the hell's goin on would be greatly appreciated as it worked fine b4 wen i only put one song in. I'll get rid of the description.ext for now and finish editing the mission im making but i'll still want the sound files later.

Thanks.

I don't know if this will help, it's from a mission that works. I just changed the music names to make a better example. Alos, not sure, but maybe the name "music" is reserved...

class CfgMusic
{
   tracks[]={mood};

   class song25
   {
      name = "(Song25) Name of song";
      sound[] = {\music\song25.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
   };
   class song3
   {
      name = "(Song3) Name of song";
      sound[] = {\music\song3.ogg, db+0, 1.0};
   };
   class song5
   {
      name = "(Song5) Name of song";
      sound[] = {\music\song5.ogg, db+10, 1.0};
   };

};

Yep, my goof, I believe "music"  is reserved.  Also instead of typing it freehand have you tried an editing program?  Chris's ofp script editor has many wizards that are very useful.  Find it here:

Oh yeah i forgot about that i'll try it after trying rokkets suggestion.
The weird thing is though wen i had one piece of music i still named it "music" and it worked   . I have to stop complicating things. I'll change the name to sumthing else.

Thanks.
