    Default Hallelujah! My mod is rocking so hard!

    I've been spending all day getting ready for the first test run of the campaign map (just to see the terrain, but still something of a landmark!), and guess what happens.

    First, I get sent right back to the menu screen a dozen times, and forced to run around fixing stuff. Alright, fair enough.

    Then I finally get past that, I make a big huge breakthrough, I've moved on to the stage of: HARD CTD! (no error message).

    What do I do now?

    O_O...well, my suggestions for figuring out CTD's would probly be to edit the descr_strat.txt file, because that's probably where the CTD errors are coming from, random lines, dashes, spaces, here and there, this and that. :) Hope that provided a little bit of help.

    Let's keep it a little more civil, shall we?

    It's a little difficult to help when the only information that someone gives is 'It doesn't work anymore,' but generally speaking either undo your changes or restore your last version that worked and then make sure your making that last change correctly.

    Hard CTDs are the biggest problem since finding the bug(s) can be quite time-consuming, unless you have a photographic memory and remember every single line you've modded

    First try and isolate the problem text file. Now work out where the problem lies using trial and error - keep relaunching RTW to test if the game is working.

    Its easier to find bugs if you mod one text file at a time, this way you can guarantee that if you run into problems then you'll know where to look for them. If you switch between numerous text files without creating regular backups, you're making it difficult for yourself because the bug(s) could be in any one of these modded files.
