Really Stupid Things You've Done As a Modder
(bad mods aside)
1. Click on a button and wonder why it does not work (or wonder why the game has become unresponsive) before you realize you are looking at a screenshot. Doh!

There is always the perpetual classic, making changes in a Rome - Total War folder and spending ages wondering why they don't take effect in the game....
....hint (check which folder the shortcut you are launching actually goes to)
Luckily I've stopped just short of posting questions on that one....

Ah yes, don't remind me - I left a trail of destruction through DG's EDB discussion thread, one of which turned out to be forgetting to delete the map.rwm and other one nothing to do with buildings at all (think I managed to edit the last one out though before anyone spotted it)Asking everything in a part of when you ask why your mod doesnt work in a forum called The Guild, I think.I asked stupid things.Really stupid things.

I was not able to port a little damn map from RTW 1.2 to 1.5 and i am trying it at the moment for my mod too
I did something similar. I made changes in my back-up folder, and had to re-install RTW when I was done working on the mod. :P

Not making regular backups. I'm pretty sure any modder for any game has made this mistake at least once.

Ah yes, there's a few experimental maps I had that went that wayFinding your HD space is running out so going on a cleaning spree and accidentally deleted, permanently, your work folder, losing all your photoshop skin files.![]()
On the subject of maps; sometimes it's just the things you catch yourself thinking - like editing map_features and wondering if you can have a river and a cliff on the same square.....

Editing the skins in my BI folder and not the ones I'm going to send to Mak
Editing compleatly the wrong factions banners and sending them to Mak.
Trying to create a map hieghts tga with no idea wtf i'm doing, instead of leaving it to Mak.
Saying, 'other than that i think we've finished' to Mak.
Oh come now, a least 3 to 4 times. Nobody learns from that mistake first time...at least once.
Working 2 mods at the same time.. My own personal and RTR.. While browsing my mod for reference to use in RTR, I accidently copied the add on files for RTR into my own personal mod..![]()
The last back up files for my own mod was a month before.. Imagine how many have changes during a month....![]()

Burns: I still have a hard time figuring out what the heck his name is or means...
Apoc: Yes, I have wondered that, as well. A Google search brought up:
Wimpy Tjeh: The great Belgian warrior, most famous for dropping his pants at the Battle of Someplaceinbelgumandnotinthenetherlands, and shouting to the Roman archers: 'Here's a target for jeh!' Also known as Wimpy of the Sore Ass.
Good to know it's not just me then ;)
I also have a habit of setting up battles with a view to saving them (battle replays) but forgetting to save them after an hour or so of getting things they way I want. Done it twice in a row once :(
