"cannot load texture \." error message

[nobrainer 0]

Hi

I have a problem with the squad.xml fil.

I have used the ArmA1 xml-file from the wiki. It worked great with ArmA and for a while with ArmA2.

But now I get this error message if I use the xml

"cannot load texture \."

I have tried with and without a reference to a picture, so it doesnt look like it's the picture, more like it's some of the supporting files.

I have these files => http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/squad.xml

Maybe something in one of these files are corrupted or??

I can see my xml in a browser.

Can someone please help me out with this one??

Are you using a non-standard profiles directory (i.e. your command line contains -profiles=...), that causes this problem for me.

could be the squadname too. Got that Problem in ArmA1...the squad.xml won't work with our clantag "F.A.K.K." but worked flawless with "FAKK"

maybe you should try changing <squad nick="N.o.N"> to <squad nick="NoN"> ?!

whre is the icq line ? its missing and

<?xml-stylesheet href="squad.xsl?" type="text/xsl"?>

For this line that question mark is missing too...

if you are trying for the logo "\picture\mylogo.paa" or something like this maybe its the problem.try Just "mylogo.paa"...

I do have -profiles=...

I have now tested without getting it to work:

1. <?xml-stylesheet href="squad.xsl?" type="text/xsl"?>
   
2. <?xml-stylesheet href="squad.xsl"? type="text/xsl"?>
   
3. <squad nick="NoN">
   
4. <icq>N/A</icq>
   
5. <picture></picture>
   

And I don't want to stop using -profiles=

So I guess I can't use Squad.xml until BIS sort things out...

Edit: forgot - Thanks for replying!!

maybe its a bug about -profiles line but here is working one,

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<?DOCTYPE squad SYSTEM "squad.dtd"?>

<?xml-stylesheet href="squad.xsl?" type="text/xsl"?>

<squad nick="=A2xTR=">

<name>ARMA 2 Türkiye Klan</name>

<picture>logo.paa</picture>

I'll try it and see if it's the same problem for me.

Thanks

Edit: nope, still the same problem, so I think it's a BIS problem and not the XML....

[nobrainer 0]

Yes, see #3 in a post further up.

if you like, you can send me your squad.xml and logo.paa and i will have a look and try to run it on my webspace

Sorry to revive this, but the issue is still at hand, but I've played on a server that doesn't have the issue.

I don't use the -Profiles= parameter myself, but I use it on my dedicated in order to get the difficulty settings customized. So I removed the -Profiles parameter on the server and it's STILL giving me the cannot load texture /. error.

A server I used to play on has the -Profiles= parameter on and there are no issues there but they won't show me their configs or offer any help.

Alright, I've been playing around with this for almost 3 hours now and I finally got it to work. For me it went as follows ...

I too got the cannot load texture \. message each time I tried to run a quick on-line user mission to test the image. The text would come in just fine but the image never would. I figured the image was good (a .paa file) since it would open up just fine in Texview. So I went looking at permissions, etc. and then it dawned on me ...

When I first setup my pages and image I placed them all in a directory called XML. I also used the same capital letters in game under my profile, www.host.com/XML/squad.xml. Again the text worked but the image did not. I found that if I changed the XML to lower case ....xml/squad.xml and also changed it to lower-case in the profile page it worked out just fine.

Try simplifying your path and see what happens. GL
