Well there seems to be two unknown commands in there, which suggests maybe you are loading scripts in the wrong order somewhere. This looks like a case for standard debugging techniques to isolate the exact problem. Without your mission file and all the scripts that are being loaded there probably isn't much that anyone could suggest from the snippet above. Use the debugger or stick in a bunch of echo statements untill you find the line that is blowing up. It might be obvious to you what the problem is then. Setting trace() might help as well.

This happens to me alot, the problem for me was certain DIFs being loaded. Try taking out all Difs from the missoin file and add one dif in world editor then relight scene, keep doing this to all the Difs one at a time until it crashes on the one that is the problem. TSE is either bugged or just much more sensitive when it comes to Difs. Hope this helps.

Thats right Andrew,
but my mission contains only a terrain ,sky and a sun no Dif's.
Actually the program stops when it comes to the UpdateLightingprogress in the Lighting Mission part.
the last part of my console log is

You still have some script errors, you've probably messed up some more scripts...

dir/common/missiondownload.cs (203): Unable to find function onPhase2Complete
dir/common/missiondownload.cs (204): Unable to find function StartClientReplication
dir/common/missiondownload.cs (205): Unable to find function StartFoliageReplication

OnPhase2Complete
StartClientReplication
StartFoliageReplication

Actually these functions r just like stubs.Its possible for the the program to work without these functions.
So i think there wont be any problem because of this.
