Corrupt?!?

by Bryce · in ThinkTanks · 01/23/2005 (2:05 pm) · 7 replies

Hi, ive been messing around with the thinktanks mission files, but when i run the game, it thinks my changes made the game corrupt. The message that pops up says something like this:

Thinktanks has detected invalid or corrupt files, so you cant continue. Were sorry for any inconvienience.

What im trying to do is change the spawn points that ill spawn spawn in the sky--really high. I was also wondering how to change how the tanks work without having this message.

Oh yeah my player name is DEMO (BRYCE!!!)

Are you using the demo version? or is the DEMO there for a name reason, if you are a demo player you have the DEMO in you name plus the ( ) around your name. Anyway demo versions don't have all the objects and coding in them so i think thats the problem. If you don't have the demo version(your name is like that in the full version) it might be because you didn't type the code line right.

I am a demo, and im changing code for the solo mode. Can people with the full version get by without the message? I know ive been putting qoutations where needed, i know ive been putting the semicolons where needed, and i dont make major code changes, such as making bots shoot everbody but me. I end up having to reinstall thinktanks.........in order to get it to work again.

Well, what solo levels are you editing?

You cannot edit the files in the demo. That was put in there so that demo players couldn't find a way to hack the game and get access to all the missions.

But Bryce, here's a question for you: you've been playing this game for months, have even sent us support requests (and since time is our most precious asset, it's like spending our moeny). Isn't the game worth $20 to you?

Hear, hear, Clark. Anybody who asks for support on a game he won't buy has more brass than I. BTW, I'm getting "no servers found" at 14:39 CST 6 Feb 05. Is it my problem, or is a server down or whatever? Love the game.

Here's what I use to check: planet thinktanks current game list. I'm seeing games on that list at the moment but it must not get updated when the master server goes down because I'm not seeing any servers in game. I also noticed that Orbz was having the same problem, so it probably is the GG master server.
