 Question : Why does the .ini loader fail so hard? Whenever I edit ANYTHING involving the actors from Base.rte, the goddamn loader decides to skip out of Index.ini before it gets to Scenes.ini, which is just plain out annoying as ♥♥♥♥. It breaks the entire game for me to call CopyOf even ONCE in the same file as it is copying from. I would appreciate knowing how to make it stop doing this.
Also, whenever CC crashes out, it leaves itself runnin as a process, and I have to manually ctrl-alt-del and close it, I've had up to 30 copies eating all of my RAM.

Yeah, I get this kind of junk too. Also when you delete a line and put it back in by typing it, the whole .ini becomes corrupt and you have to reinstall the game.

I've noticed that it's especially picky with tabbing, which can also be a major pain.

That's because tabbing and lines is how it knows what's what, like the ; in other languages.

I have no idea why it get's corrupted, unless data added a thing where is tries to save what it loaded the last time as a "safe" mode... but that would be really wierd...

Maybe. But I have to copy and paste everything to make a new .ini, like to make a new device, I would have to copy some other devices lines, typing it out wouldn't work since it can't identify what any property is.

/n != ; when it comes to programming.
A line break is not the same thing as a semi colon. A semi colon denotes the end of the line. Its basically machine-readable code.
A line break is only for the use of human readers. Typically, computers remove any and all whitespaces (read: spaces, tabs, carriage returns).
A note to data: You really should change whatever "language" this is. If its a common language, I don't recognize it. I imagine this is probably interpreted on the fly by some in-code interpreter. Incorporate some kind of "end of line" notation mebbe? <3

I know what I am talking about too, but the .ini loader uses the formatting to know what's what is what I am saying, the game itself is in C++, the .ini files are just data files.

I dub the code used in the .ini's CORTEXCODE or CCC for short. No, really. It is its own language.
