ashes seems to break the game somehow

[gsugunan]

the game works fine with ashes removed, but the minute I drop it in, the game can't start (it's not enough just to disable it, you have to actually remove the mod file). I've attached the log file, it seems to be something font related. This is on windows 10 btw.

Try temporarily removing the world.teaw file from the main save folder. On newer versions of windows this is in C:\Users\%username%\T-Engine\4.0\tome\save

Also make sure you don't have two copies of the dlc. I've seen issues where there is a manually downloaded copy in the addons folder and an automatically downloaded one in the DLCs folder. That doesn't seem likely to be the case here but it's worth mentioning.

If removing the world.teaw DOES work, can you upload a copy of it for me to look at? I want to check exactly what part in it needs to be removed.

I tried deleting that file, and got a different error message, I've attached both versions of the file, along with the new error log.

this is the old world file, I had to change the extension to attach it.

and the new one

Maybe the Ashes addon you have is corrupted.

I tried redownloading it from the site, and still got the same error.

By the way, I'm a programmer; it may not lead to much, but is there any way for me to see the source on the addon?

The .teaa and similar files are actually renamed .zip files with 0% compression. You can open/extract them with 7zip or a similar program.

awesome, but in case I can't figure out, I want to reiterate, this error occurs on two different computers, running to different os (win 10 and ubuntu linux) ,seems the same from the log file and goes away when I rename the ashes teeac.

Hummmm that's weird, did you try moving away completely all the C:\Users\%username%\T-Engine\4.0 folder (or ~/.t-engine/ on linux) ?

[gsugunan]

I finally figured it out, it wasn't ashes that was causing the problem at all, simply having too many files in the addons directory; when I went in and cleared a few old ones out (it didn't matter which ones, after I noticed this I tried deleting different ones and all that mattered was having fewer addons) the game starts.

[darkgod]

Interresting .. hum how many addons did you have ?

[Stuntofthelitter]

I actually run in to this all the time since I end up with pretty much every damn addon in the copy I use for fixing some saves. Seems to happen somewhere in the vicinity of 90 addons for me. I can trial and error it to find the exact number. Happens even if they're disabled (they all are pretty much).

[gsugunan]

107, when it failed, dropping down to 103 fixed it, also, that's 67 megs, and I've got 16 gigs of ram, so I don't think it's filling up main memory.
