Post subject:  CC B22 startup crash [Fixed.]
Hey all,

Cortex Command build 22 is acting a little... strange. First off, I have no mods installed (although I had the NVC mod installed back during build 20), and it is a clean re-install -- I removed all former traces of it that I could find before installing it. What's happening is this: I create a new scene, using any terrain, and I save it in Base.rte. Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm not using anything but the default tile sets -- the ones that come with the game. It plays fine, I mow down a few hundred unfortunate guys, and then I call it good and close CC out.

The next time I try to open it, it crashes. Blows up. Error message and all.
"Abortion in file .\System\Reader.cpp, line 530, because:
Referring to an instance ('Tutorial Terrain') to copy from that hasn't been defined! in Base.rte/Scenes/Towerspace.ini at line 8!
The last frame has been dumped to 'abortscreen.bmp' "

This happens regardless of what terrain I choose -- Grasslands, Horiz land, Tutorial, etc. The game blows up immediately and outright, with no error message, if I try to choose the Zombie Cave as a base terrain.

The only way to fix the problem appears to be by doing a clean reinstall.

Thanks!

Well, I seem to have fixed it for now. I dragged the entire Data Realms folder out onto the desktop, reinstalled CC B22, and then deleted the folder on my desktop.

I created a map, played for a minute or two, closed out, and then re-opened CC and it worked fine. I'm just afraid now, from what I've been reading, that if I install any mods (I'd love to have NVC again) that it'll blow up in my face. Any recommendations to make sure things run smoothly?

I'm new to the game and liked the look so I bought it and am trying it out. Pretty cool so far (rough around the edges but shows promise)

I found this error today as well. I made my own scene and it runs fine and all, used a bunch of different tiles in it from the various tile sets. I noticed that when including any tutorial stuff it will crash, or when you have any dummy stuff it will crash as well. I also put some weapons in there just now and they seem to be causing problems as well :/.

You can fix it by removing the problem entry in the ini file mentioned in the error dialog.
