Every time I try to load the game after adding my own mod, I get the following message, which I shal copy exactly:

Abortion in file.\Managers\PresetMan.cpp, line 162, because:
Failed to find the Desert Pheonix.rte Data Module!
The last frame has been dumped to 'abortscreen.bmp'

What should I do!? It does this only for mods I make, not other people's mods .

Where did you copy the ini file from?

Translation:
In the .rte "Desert Phoenix.rte", either "Index.ini" is missing or it is there and doesn't have "DataModule" on the first line. Or the Index is there with the line, but not in the right place (the right place would be right in the .rte, not in any other folder).

Well I checked. Index begins with DataModule and is the first thing in the .rte. so... crap.

Is it an .ini file?

I can't quite tell. If notepad defaults to .ini, then yes. If not, how do I make it a .ini?

File -> Save as -> select all files -> name file index.ini
