Forgotten how I got this to work before....

[Doswelk]

Okay I have created two rulesets before now, which makes this more embarrassing...

Every time I start FG is crashes to Doctor Watson.

I have copied and renamed the D20 folder, and added the data folder, I have edited base.xml to the new settings.

I start FG to test it has worked and BLAM! it dies..

What have I forgotten?

Honestly, it could be any of a whole host of problems. :/

The best suggestion I can offer is to comment out portions of the ruleset that you think might be causing the problem so that it doesn't crash anymore, and then slowly reduce the size of the commented portion until it starts crashing again. You may be able to zero in on what's causing the problem that way.

Problem is anything yet....

All I have done is copy the file and rename base.xml (exactly like Zane's tutorial in fact) and blam nothing after that...

[Oberoten]

Could you please show the base.xml contents and give us the full path to the mod?

That way it'll be much easier to help.

base.xml as found in my BB folder...

As I have said the above are the only changes I have done thus far...

The data folder has been copied into the BB folder.

[joshuha]

<includefile source="rulesets\BB\rulesets\BB\d20_graphics.xml" />

Does that exist there?

[Dachannien]

I think joshuha's got it. :) You should probably check the other files to make sure they're where you say they are as well, but that one in particular looks wrong.

[joshuha]

It looks like a bad case of Replace All if it ends up being the cause :)

[Doswelk]

<includefile source="rulesets\BB\rulesets\BB\d20_graphics.xml" />

Does that exist there?

I do not know why the post looks like that the original base.xml line reads:


<includefile source="rulesets\BB\d20_graphics.xml" />

but no still no joy...

This is driving me up the wall I wouldn't mind so much except that I've done this before and had no problems!!

[kalmarjan]

Make sure you have all relevant files in your directory for what is being called. Sometimes that will crash the program if they are not there, and they are being called.

If it is not a find/replace issue, that is the only thing that I can think of. :)
(Aside from typos on said files as well.)
