The manual just says to delete old .CD compilations folders, but this is not the case (i deleted the compiled .WED file and re-compiled them, to no avail). Worse: i tried to remove my starter window (it could be hiding essential crash information) by commenting the code in the starter script, but it NEVER go away! The script is still saved in .wdl format... when i tried to save in .c extension, engine crashed without warning messages. I have to delete wich file extensions to recompile the game correctly? Any help is appreciated. Now THAT'S an old prototype! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX32vaXshfw&feature=channel_page

You need to turn it off so you can see de-bug info... You do not need to erase the wed file or anything else... Commenting out the window definition code, obviously wont get rid of the window overlay.... Here's what you do... Simply look in your directory for a file with the ".wdf" file extention such as "YourProjectName.wdf" Once you find it, change the name, and the engine wont find it and that's the file which houses the window definition... When you want it back... just change the name back... If you have compiled and published, there is a copy of the .wdf file in both the original project directry and the new .cd folder... Soooo.... you can follow the same procedure in either folder... BTW... you cant just change from .wdl format to .c format... Converting from C Script (.wdl) to C-Lite (.C) is a can of worms that you need to research... Now de-bug that project.... Good Luck...

It worked! ...and now, i can see what´s the first engine error is: Code: <enable_polycollision=2> FORMAT1.wdl 336.0 (): Parameter unknow enable_polycollision Script error Engine shutdown Normally, i would go straight to the instruction and disable it, or check for a new version, but... Hmmm... thinking on re-name ALL .wdl files into .c files and slowly debug each error that will popup. God, i HATE SYNTAX CHANGES!!!! Thanks once again! Now THAT'S an old prototype! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX32vaXshfw&feature=channel_page

Indeed... as soon as i started receiving SEVERAL error messages in the starter script, i just followed your advice and those error messages stopped. Thanks man!

After a couple of builds and runs all of a sudden it popped this error - E355 saying it can't open WED.C and it stuck like that ever since. ERROR in communism.cpp, line 0: #include<god.h> was fatally missed.
