Do not know how to copy error message
« on: March 20, 2012, 12:48:12 am »
Just got an error message when trying to enter a pyramid (ver .909) and I have no idea how to copy the message onto Mantis. Could someone tell me how?

Personally, I just type it out instead of doing a C/P. Depending on the error message, you might be able to find it in one of the log files though (have a look in the RuntimeData folder; there are several different log files there).

The other option would be to take a screen shot (defaut F12) of the message and send us that file.

The game generates actual error files -- screenshots or typing it out always omit critical info. If you look in the runtimedata folder, under the game folder, that has the data. In this case I have what I need, though this should really be in mantis.

I appreciate it -- it's just so much easier for us to keep track of things when everything is in one place.  Will try to have the next version out in another hour or two.
