I think the problem is the text editor your using - use something like Notepad that won't add a bunch of hidden characters that may cause ET's text parsing code to choke.
yeah i noticed all the extra crap wordpad added in when i opened the others with notepad, would it mess up cfg files i make with wordpad? should i just do everything with notepad?
Your best bet is to just use notepad. WordPad is a "Rich Text" editor that is kind of a lightweight version of Microsoft Word. Any text formatting (bold, italic, font, color, etc) will get encoded (non-visible to you) with bits of information that tell WordPad how to render it. All this formatting info will make the file unparseable in most cases.
spent all day on this and still cant seem to figure out what i did wrong...
only thing in my cfg file is addbot commands and it loads a few of them but just suddenly stops, i have it set to maximum of 33 so i know its not cause of that.. i am lost
