Summary0002231: Downloading and refreshing repositories error
DescriptionIt says--
File <unknown> is not a valid JSON file!
At line 40, position 1 warning: Comma expected!

In the VCMI launcher command window

It has something to do with downloading and refreshing repositories.
Steps To ReproduceDownload & refresh repositories
Additional InformationThis 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.
TagsNo tags attached.

 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
