What is the content of your file?
That might help us identify the problem.

Which editor do you use for the sii files?
Try notepad++ (free) it'll let view eol markets and has curly bracket pairing

You shouldn't put the brackets in-line. Instead of this:

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{@include "city/relozz.sii"}
Do this:

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
    @include "city/relozz.sii"
}
That will work.

Best,

A blank space after the opening brace { and before the closing brace } should also work, but carriage returns make it more obvious visually... 8-)

Anyone know how to track down this little beauty?

Code: Select all

02:16:40.923 : <ERROR> Terrain segment is too short! (0x3453ddeaa900001)
I assume it's only road- and node textures I need to hunt?
Do we have a search tool in the editor?
