I keep getting a "invalid number of soldiers" in soldiers.txt file error when CCMT opens up?

I've used Spinel's new mod....and added an additional 7 soldier classes - For a total of 129 classes (and then in the upper right corner I have put 130).

Yet I keep getting this error???

Any help would be appreciated

Well....Now I've managed to get the game to load (re-edited the soliders I added from the original workbook, not using Spinel's sheet as I believe formulas are attached)...and it seemed to work.  Game loaded fine.  Yet when I went to the editor and went to insert one of the units / teams I created - CTD occured??? (crash to desktop).

None of the three units/teams I created (which show up in the game editor as a "Unit" to be inserted) ....If I click on any of the three there is an immediate CTD -????[/align]

Alas, as the workbook for soldiers.txt states:
 
"Weapon number used in the *Teams.adb files Soldier Type column.  Range = 0 -127"
 
This might very well be a hard limit. I think we might need the developers to give help on something like this.

That is likely it!! - It is always something right in front of my face - I will need to delete two of my created soldier classes - Hopefully that works -

If the game crashes when you are choosing one of your new units (not when the battle is loading), then it likely is a problem with the the class number. There are other sorts of errors that will crash the program, but (as far as I can tell) they will crash the program when the battle is loading rather than in the unit selection screen.

I hope this is a temporary fix that will get things to work and the developers help out. I could think of no reason why we should be limited to 128 soldier types and with the unmod-ed soldier number already at 108 there isn't much room for us to work with ....

Exactly. What's the point of that limit?

Spinel - On your worksheet......one cannot seem to add additional "soldier" units....(using your sheet) because you have saved forumlas of such there -
You can add addtional "teams" and "weapons"........but not soliders...
 
I got it to work by using my original workbook (for the solider situation).
 
However, I'm still getting a CTD when I try and use one specific team I created - A small sniper team - Perhaps it is because I have this team listed as "0"...in two categories for "sniper".....yet it is more than one individual??

lstp04, would you mind posting up your *teams.txt, weapons.txt, soldiers.txt for us to look at? There are honestly loads of reasons why the thing crashes and I will try to look through your files when I have time to see what's going wrong.
