So this menu I have keeps crashing the game. I can't figure out where I went wrong in the menu. Everything seems to be in order, and I've also pinpointed this specific .menu file to be the problem. Can you guys help me find if I did something wrong?

 

In the past it's come down to missing/misplaced brackets or spaces where there shouldn't be. I can't seem to figure this one out though.

And what am I building therfiles? If you thought something related to MB2 you'd be correct. 

 

Heh, I still can't figure out what's wrong....

An ingame tutorial???

 

Does your .menu file have all the regular spacings? If so, sent it to me and I'll peek at it. I can't really decipher what is going on without my precious whitespace.

I dont know, I usually just adlib with the spacing, sometimes the game doesn't like my spacing though...

 

I'll send it to you in an hour or so.

Also, the game wouldn't crash for referencing strings in a .str file that don't exist yet would it?
