so i made my lil side mod thing (its just a few extra weapons), when i try to play the game, it freezes at the loading page before the menu, when i remove the extra weapons mod folder from data, the game runs just fine. just wondering if somebody knows wat teh issue is and why it has suddenly stopped liking my extra weapons thingy?

Check the debug file in the main directory. Where it ends is the problem. Or, alternatively, check each of your new weapons. You can pin-point the problem by throwing the end_of_file; bit all around the place.

Looking at it raw and outside of any other code, I don't see any problems with it, but Notrium is fiddly. Sometimes it will successfully load an item with errors in, and then crash out on another item that was fine, but misread thanks to the earlier error. You could either insert a dummy item in place of the shell maker and see if there was still a crash, or copy the maker into barebones and seeing if it works there. On the other hand, if you leave a blank line between the final item and the End of File line, then you may end up with a random unexplained texture error.

Sometimes, even though the effect or condition may not need all the parameter numbers, it will still kick up a fuss if there aren't two or four parameters in the entry, this could be another possible problem.

Good luck finding your bug.

      0;//parameter3

You didn't put in parameter4 for some reason, that be your problem.

Also, under 'first pick up text' you need to put the size on map line, "0.500000;//size on map".

Fixed code:
