Making minidumps readable

from Sins Forums

I remember seeing an old thread a couple weeks/monthes ago that showed how to make minidumps in text format. I was overconfident in my abilities and did not make a copy before I merged my mod with a friends, can anyone help me out?

The minidumps aren't generally going to be useful to modders since they're internal memory dumps with references to the code locations and memory addresses involved in a crash. Better thing to do if you're having modding issues is to use the developer exe and enable the logging options, so you'll get verbose details about data file errors.

the settings then user.settings file has a line in it to report what is wrong with what line of a edited file. hers the fines you need to look for


LogOutput TRUE
ShowErrors TRUE
ZoomSensitivity 0.400000
SavedGameFileFormat 1
RecordedGameFileFormat 1
TiledScreenShotSize 5

 

this is the mottom 6 lines of the file.

 

keep in mind that there use to be a log stored in the debug section as well. you might want to check it.
