Mini Dump?

from Sins Forums

Recently, i have been looking for modding options on sins of a solar empire
i opened a file in the GameInfo folder after i backed those files up.
however, i accidentally opened the file in Notepad (the files are .entity), with the "open all files with this" box checked.
Now, when i start a game, the game will get to the loading screen, then stop, and gives me the message that it saved a mini dump

sins-v1.165-2013-12-20-15-19-52-5920-5560.dmp
(there are more, this is the most recent)

Is there a way to remove the open all files with the notepad, would that do anything?
Or is there an alternative to fix the game?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Okay, it sounds like you've made one of the biggest modding mistakes. NEVER TOUCH THE ORIGINAL GAME FILES. It's good that you backed them up, but it is totally unnecessary to even open the original files. Sins' mod system allows you to simply copy them and place the changed files in a mod, so the base files never have to be touched and its a lot easier to disable a mod than to reinstall the game.

I highly recommend you read some of the stickies in the modding thread before getting started if this is news to you.
