Further more, pd may not neccessarily be able to help - without the source code or a comprehensive understanding of the game's binary the file is of little use. However, pd has other commitments and should not be treated as the go-to guy for any IEs you may have. This file is a dump of certain runtime-data from the game at the moment the error occurred and could potentially tell you exactly what went wrong if you knew the engine code.ĭue to his research into the game's binary and his efforts to develop the RockPatch, pd has occasionally been able to indicate the area of the engine where the error occurred (for example, an error occurring in the voxel-loading routines may indicate a problem with a custom voxel). If your game crashes because of an Internal Error, a file named except.txt is generated in your game folder. 3 Software used to find Internal Errors.2 Known causes of Internal Errors and their EIPs.Remember that the more code you add at the same time, the more likely it is to introduce multiple bugs and IE causes (and just because you found one mistake in your code, that doesn't mean there can't be another). Carefully check your latest modifications, with the help of a diff between the current rules set and the previous, working rules if possible (for this reason, and in case you mess up your code beyond repair, you should always keep recent backups of working code).If this was the case then take a look at the changes you applied to that unit/weapon/whatever and see if there are any mistakes. a unit being built, a weapon being fired, etc.). Think about whether a distinctive event immediately preceeded the error (e.g.Check if the EIP reported in your except.txt file matches an EIP for which the IE cause is known (see below).If you experience an Internal Error, you should: The message itself gives no information about what the error actually was or what went wrong, thus leaving it to the modder to know what could have caused the error and to find the cause in their mod's changes. The Internal Error (often just written short-hand as IE) is a general error returned by the Tiberian Sun engine and its derivates.
