And for the life of me, I can't tell what. :(
All I know is that BC no longer loads. (Gets an abnormal program termination on startup)
I would upload something, but I don't know what to upload (short of my 73mb(compressed!) scripts folder)
Also, removing options.cfg didn't do the trick.

Have you tried rebooting?


What was the last thing you were doing to BC?
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

I was trying to figure out which module is called first by BC by adding "Kill Me" to the beginning of two modules. I then removed the line after I was done trying to figure it out. The last module I had edited was App.py, however I restored it to its original condition.
Have you tried rebooting?
No, will try now.

Ah, then I would like to point you to the console logger thread a little while ago. ;)


I suggest you get yourself a copy of BC:Core and apply it to a new BC install (after you delete the scripts directory). ;)

Problem with that is that a console logger will do me no good in a BC install that cannot load. (reboot did no good)

You serious? I just spent three weeks rebuilding this install (Plus you said it doesn't work with KM)

You can have multiple installs of BC.


If you remove the "Kill Me" it ought to work again.

I did, in fact I deleted both the .py and .pyc and replaced it with the .pyc from a clean 1.1 install I have.

I know, in fact, per your suggestion, I also have a BC: Core install.

In that case it's possible (not knowing what file exactly you are talking about, but ignore the next bit if it's App.py) that a modded version, such as file that came with Foundation is required.

It's the App.pyc, it moved my data, scripts, and sfx folders to the desktop and reinstalled. I replaced the App.pyc and the game crashed.

Copy the py file from the SDK.

Works (without the .py from the SDK) I just reinstalled and copied my original everything (minus the App.pyc) back.
