[Solved] GAME.CON Compiling Problems

[Solved] GAME.CON Compiling Problems "Error when starting up the game"

#1 Posted 08 February 2016 - 09:14 AM

Hey guys.
So, I just got the r5606 build for Mac but it won't start.
That's what I got:

EDuke32 2.0.0devel r5095 (64-bit) C++ build

That didn't happen with my previous copy, r4540 build.
So, how do I fix it?

maybe your CON files are edited, with errors.

Hmm, I remember editing my USER.CON file, modifying quotes, names of sounds, monsters strenghts, etc.
But, why would modified quotes cause this? Invalid characters?

Since the version you've been using previously, the CON parser has probably been improved to reject certain constructs. And quite a number of new CON keywords has been introduced, which might interfere with custom variable or constant names. The CON compiler shows the line where a problem becomes obvious, but the actual error may be located earlier in the code. Post your modified CONs as attachments.

And please stop using custom fonts in everyday posts. That sucks.
