Invalid Save Syntax - Newsman Waterpaper - 04-05-2016

I was adding the SetMapDisplayNameEntry code to all the maps in my mod and trying out the save functions and when I exited the game and restarted it and tried to use the Load Game function, instead of the level names appearing, it just says Invalid Save Syntax but however if I load the file, it will load the map of the most recent save and everything will work as usual. I'll like to solve this for handiness sake for players.

Oh I thought you meant that the save itself failed to load. How's your script/lang file?

RE: Invalid Save Syntax - Newsman Waterpaper - 04-06-2016

No errors from the script of the map or anything thing like that. I'm pretty sure the .lang file is alright since I did put the level names under the Levels category in the .lang file.

RE: Invalid Save Syntax - Mudbill - 04-06-2016

Yes but could you show it? Perhaps it's using something that cannot be used for that purpose, but would otherwise not be illegal in terms of syntax.

The name for a save needs to be pulled from the "Levels" category in your .lang file.
Make sure you're not just typing it in... that's not how you do it.

It looks like you're using Space or special characters like "_". I guess that's probably not allowed.
Does it work if you change the name to just one simple word?

Yep that solved the problem! Thanks!
