Error creating a custom skyculture

Asked by Adriano Steffler

I'm trying to create a custom skyculture, but the constellations aren't displaying its names. I always get an error message like: ERROR - cannot parse record at line XX in constellation names file "path_to_the_file", altough I've checked the files "constellation_names.eng.fab", "constellationart.fab" and "constellationship.fab" line by line to see if there was something mismatching in them... What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

PS: The constellation lines and the art are displayed normally.

Please show constellation_names.eng.fab file.

I tried to simulate the problem. I get the message if you type a dash ( - ) in place of an underscore ( _ ) in records.

example:
Aql "Aquila" -("Aquila")
it should be
Aql "Aquila" _("Aquila")

I found out, that not only a dash in the records can cause this problem, but also spaces after the constellation names in parentheses.
