Echoed. While I fortunately haven't wasted tons of time in it yet, debugging mods can be a very frustrating experience. The game's method of objecting to mods generally involves force-closing itself with no error message. Common mistakes: Not leaving a linebreak at the end of a file. Not counting the number of prereqs, results, etc on research.txt correctly. Not adding a corresponding entry to names.txt - some things, like sensors, require an entry, while some things, like functions, don't. And if you made a typo somewhere? You have to look through _every single file_ you modified. If it weren't for diff, I don't think Rebalance would have ever happened. :/ -Zarel _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
