Post Startup problem
Alright, my cortex command keeps on saying it aborted for whatever reason. It doesn't even go to the loadup. So, I put all my mods in a seperate folder, uninstalled, and reinstalled it from the site. I didn't add any mods back. This is really getting under my skin.

THe error is

Abortion in file ./System/Reader.ccp, line 531, because:

Wrong type in Reader when passed to Serializable::Create() in Base.rte/Settings.ini at line 184!

THe last frame has been dumped to 'abortscreen.bmp'

The fresh install probably looks like this:
Code:
      Fire = InputMapping
         KeyMap = 8
         MouseButtonMap = 0
         JoyButtonMap = 0
         StickMap = 0
         AxisMap = 2
         DirectionMap = 0
      Aim = InputMapping
         KeyMap = 10 <<<<<<< line 184
         JoyButtonMap = 1
      AimUp = InputMapping
         KeyMap = 23
      AimDown = InputMapping


That makes no sense.

What doesn't make sense? That the new install doesn't work, or that code doesn't make sense?

Actually, a fresh install will look like this:
Code:
Settings
   ResolutionX = 640
   ResolutionY = 480
   TrueColorMode = 1
   PaletteFile = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/palette.bmp
   Fullscreen = 0
   NxWindowed = 2
   PostProcessing = 1
   PostPixelGlow = 1
   PixelsPerMeter = 20
   PlayIntro = 1
   ConsoleScreenRatio = 0.4
   DeltaTime = 0.0166667
   RealToSimCap = 0.075
   HSplitScreen = 0
   VSplitScreen = 0
   DefaultActivityType = GAScripted
   DefaultActivityName = Zombie Cave
   MaxUnheldItems = 25
   EnableParticleSettling = 1
   EnableMOSubtraction = 1
   SoundVolume = 41
   MusicVolume = 100

It does not include any input settings until you first start CC.

If it crashes on line 184, it probably means that your 'Settings.ini' file is corrupted and/or ♥♥♥♥ up by a mod causing everything after line 183 to vanish.

Reinstall.

Didn't notice that... And it still does the Line 184 error?
I really don't see how it could still do that when a fresh 'Settings.ini' doesn't even have a line 184...

Try installing in a different location or something, I dunno. :???:

Ok now I can't even ♥♥♥♥ download.

"C:/Users/*name*/Downloads/csssetup23(5).exe.part could not be save because the source file could not be read.

Try again later or contact the server administrator"

Don't quote me on this, but it might be caused by not having writing permissions in the CC folder. Try going under Properties, untick Read Only if it's ticked in any way, go to the Security tab and give everyone at least writing permission. I know that Windows has a terrible habit of making things read-only, and that CC needs the folder to not be read-only if it is to run properly.

Honestly, this happens to me maybe 1 in 5 times that I start up CC. It's a problem with the Player 4 controls, IIRC; everything from "Piemenu =" down is suddenly gone, right? Just paste this in, starting on Line 184:
Code:
      PieMenu = InputMapping
         KeyMap = 11
         MouseButtonMap = 1
      Jump = InputMapping
         KeyMap = 12
      Crouch = InputMapping
         KeyMap = 73
      Next = InputMapping
         KeyMap = 21
      Prev = InputMapping
         KeyMap = 25
      Start = InputMapping
         KeyMap = 0
      Back = InputMapping
         KeyMap = 0


That works for me, at least.
