File <unknown> is not a valid JSON file!

In the VCMI launcher command window
It has something to do with downloading and refreshing repositories. |
| Steps To Reproduce | Download & refresh repositories |
| Additional Information | This occurred ever since I updated from 0.97. I always use a fresh installation of Heroes 3 Complete and remove any old folders of VCMI, like in C:\Users\user\Documents\My Games\vcmi. |

So, after I learned to edit the json files in C:\Users\user\Documents\My Games\vcmi\config for issue 0002230, I kind of noticed what the VCMI command window meant by line 40. When I changed my graphics to Direct3D in settings.json it told me at line 8 there was a comma expected, but that went away after the second time I ran VCMI. At line 40 in modSettings.json, it begins with Dark Elemental when I 'go to' line 40 in Notepad.
So I can only assume that this has something to do with the Dark Elemental mod. Am I right? I'll attach a copy of my modSettings.json. |

This line 40 is from http://download.vcmi.eu/mods/repository/repository.json [^] and should be fixed there. (You can edit downloaded copy in \Documents\My Games\vcmi\downloads\ but it will help only until next repository refresh.
As for settings.json it was you fault - you missed comma when added "driver" field - it shall be between fields. |

Ah, so it "literally" means comma lol, I couldn't wrap my mind around that. It automatically added one in settings.json. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction AVS. |

> It automatically added one in settings.json.
This is not exactly true :)
Parser can recover some mark-up errors like missing or extra commas (but it does not add anything). settings.json is "special" file - it loaded at startup and being rewritten on any settings change. |

Oh :) well that's a really useful function. modSettings.json and repository.json could totally benefit from a setting like that |
