Documentation! the Musical
« on: July 22, 2002, 10:10:00 am »

Do you have anything that approaches the status of documentation on this new version? Even some basic stuff - for example, I can't start a new universe, as the program crashes on selecting the "create your character" option.

The editors look impressive (if a little disturbing  :p) and if I can't get a creature out of them at some point, my name's not Jim Bob Seth McSmith.. which it.. uh.. isn't.

Did it crash before or after you edited a creature?  If you tweaked the humans before trying to create a character, it's possible it had difficulty building the model.

If you unzip it and try to play immediately before looking at the editors, and it crashes, then there's some horrible bug lurking around.  What operating system do you have?

There's no documentation, although Zonk is working on it in Italian.  Maybe I should put something together sometime.

I'll put up a list of the most important points tonight regarding how to at least use the editors safely.

One important thing -- if you want to add a new body part, always remember to include at least one tissue for the body part as well.

I can't remember what exactly I'd done before the crash - I hadn't edited anything, but I created a new universe and everything worked smoothly, more or less.
