CModInfo::LoadMetaData() is where darkmod.txt is read. The code expects the fields to be in this order: Title Description Author Required TDM Version It will need to change to accept the fields in any order. Workaround is for authors to put the fields in the expected order. |

Since the wiki page for releasing your mission describes the contents of the darkmod.txt file in this order: Title: The Outpost Description: Break into a builder outpost to retrieve a gold ingot. Author: angua & greebo Version: 1 Required TDM Version: 1.01 I see no reason to change the code to accept _any_ order. Mission authors should just follow the order given on the wiki page. |

I want to close this issue with a "won't be fixed" resolution. |

You are assuming that everyone is looking at that wiki page. Additionally, even if one does, he may not come to the conclusion, that using a different order would cause an issue (at least I didn't). And if the game is crashing than, the respective FM author will have a happy time searching for the reason ;) So I think we should not leave it like that. Either the game should accept any order or the game should tell the FM author what he or she did wrong. A plain crash is definetely not good. |

Fixed with revision #7563. In addition to the above mentioned issue, leaving out certain fields could cause display errors. |
