Well, first you need to design some error levels, such as "report interesting minor error was logged when quitting"/figure out how to report various types of errors, and replace most debug's spread throughout the source to calls to error/warning throwing functions. Unfortunately, I believe there are lots of mismatches between error severity and recovery: if no attempt is made to recover from something minor, then I guess an error box should be popped up. There's also the problem of the location of the debug log file changing when a game is loaded; something I've been meaning to fix ever since you pointed out how annoying it is (my intention at the time was that the output directory for exported files would be the game directory and I didn't consider the log file at first). It is extremely annoying. _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
