Help me please

I have created a mod for darwinia. How do I play it. Whenever I start thr mod I get a windows error and darwinia shuts down.

[xyzyxx]

be more specific.

That may happen if you have something in your level that cuases a problem - usually some unit or other. Try checking unit teams and altering the "In Unit" property of various units. It should work eventually. The editor can be quite picky with some things.

This from the bloke who says he is going to code an AI, yet cannot get a mod in a game to work.....

[Icepick]

The most common cause of this is that you have placed a Centipede in the level and not set In Unit to 1, but there could be a number of other reasons too. As xyzyxx said, you have to be more specific.

When I get home I'll post the specific problem, however I'm in school at the moment.

And to Rkiver just because the very first Mod I make does not work dosen't mean that I'm not clever.

Edit..

I cannot be more specific. It is a windows XP error report. You cannot copy all the technical info. However it says it is an 'exception error' if that means anything?

[Rkiver]

Think of it from someone just sitting reading this. You say you want to make a system for AI's, yet getting a mod to work seems beyond you. Would that instill confidence in anyone? Not really. Think of it this way, someone who claims be able to fly a plane, yet does not know what an altimeter is.

As for the "windows error" it throws up, does Darwinia generate a blackbox report at all? I mean on this we can help, but if it is just a random windows error, well we are kinda stumped.

[martin]

Try thinking from my view. I believe that I can build this with a bit of work (the AI landscape - I have said that I'm not trying to build an AI). Then this annoying guy comes along and takes the piss because I can't work a completely new modding system that I've never used before.

Afraid theres no black box but I could post the TxT files generated when you create a level. Handy?

edit::

Ok, different prob on a different level I've made but heres a black box:

=========================
DARWINIA BLACK BOX REPORT
=========================

VERSION : win32-full-v1.0
ERROR : 'Non-global ControlTower found in mods/sandbox/levels/mission_centre.txt'

=========================
====== STACKTRACE =======
=========================

retAddress = 0041DC45
retAddress = 0049D16A
retAddress = 0049CBD2
retAddress = 0049E54B
retAddress = 0049F3E2
retAddress = 0049F1D1
retAddress = 004A66A6
retAddress = 00423308
retAddress = 004B8E26
retAddress = 7C816D4F
retAddress = 00000000


So what is a non-global control tower? how do I change it?

[Jackmn]

Err, make it global.

[Tortanick]

go to editor, click the controll towers one by one. On the unit details box there will be "Is global" make sure that is set to yes or 1, I think its 1.
