I'm working with the forge tools.
Essentially I'm trying to create an EVE Online mod.
It was all working well, I started by making the Caldari race.
Using existing models, I was essentially going to make the physical stats and icons for all the eve ships to start with.
I found that pretty much the ONLY way to mod the game is to make a change, load the game and mod, and see if it crashes. Every other change I attempt to make causes a minidump. I've got about 300 minidumps in my directory now.
It's really annoying having to figure out what I did wrong simply by the binary yes/no "did it crash" solution. The game does not inform me at all what went wrong when it is reading a file.
As it is now, at some point I made a few too many changes, and I can't figure out which file is causing a crash. I've reverted as many files as I can figure I changed, since my last "it didn't crash" load, but it just won't load anymore.
Can we get some error messages and "you did this wrong" popups so that it's easier to do mods? The detail at which we can mod is EXTREMELY impressive, but with all the crashing, it's incredibly hard to make any changes in any reasonable amount of time.
And I can't submit 300 minidumps either, that's a waste of everybody's time.
