| | What file is it reading at the time? Sounds like you might have a configuration directive that is not recognised. |

| This is what i get when running rom.exe:
Dec 15 08:35:46 :: Loading mud data...
:: [*****] BUG: word last_copyover not found
Then command prompt pauses for about 3 seconds, as though trying to read something, then gives the directory again, and returns to normal.
I dont know what file its trying to read... besides rom.exe. I checked my makefile from when i compiled the rom executable, but it appeared normal...

| | It can't be that hard to find. Go into the area directory, and scan for the word "last_copyover" (eg. using grep). Then try the system directory. That at least will give you the file name. |

| Wow, thanks, i found last_copyover, its in mud.dat. (Why the hell didn't I look there first...)
So... does that mean that rom.exe is searching in the wrong place for mud.dat or something? I will try moving stuff around.
Thanks

| Ok, thats messed up.
When it looks for last_copyover, it says "loading mud data". If that means reading mud.dat, then why the hell can't it find the word last_copyover when i can see it right there? I'm really stumped here... I desperately need help. | | Top |

| | Ok, i found that if i change the line last_copyover in mud.dat to, say, damnthiserror, the same error comes up, with instead: word damnthiserror not found! So this must mean that rom.exe cant find an instance of last_copyover in itself? or another file? | | Top |
