Title: yaml-cpp error
Post by: Acid on September 10, 2014, 02:29:05 pm

How should you fix the error "illegal tab when looking for indentation" ?

Probably you have used tabs instead of spaces in indentation, or the other way around.

Check the original file indentations and your editor settings.

Ok, I think Iv fixed my initial problem. What does 'bad conversion' mean ?

Hard to say by looking at the string out of context.

Have you saved your rulesets using the UTF-8 encoding?

I found the problem. The game doesnt always update changes correctly.

I was trying to rearrange the alien loadouts for each ship/mission. This was alot of modified content. I had to reset my options, defaulting everything back to normal, then change back to the way it was before it would accept my new changes.
