Title: PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU POST!
Post by: Crankeye on April 21, 2005, 02:02:27 AM
Things to do before you post:
1. Search! Tons of people have problems just like yours, and who knows you might find what you need before you even have to make a post!
2. Check through all the event commands. You can really find alot if you actually take a look through them.
3. Check the help file! There is alot of useful information to be found.

Things to do when making a new topic:
1. Spell check your post.
2. Make sure your topic is cleary described. The better your explain what you need help with the more likely someone is gonna be able to help you.

If you do decide to post, please be specific. It's impossible to help a person saying: "I get an error, why?"
Answer these questions when you make a new topic or chance are, you will be asked a variant of those questions.
1. Have I done what the above persons have said?
2. What exactly is the problem you are encountering?
3. In which environment does the problem occur?[/list:u]
1: Simple stuff. Easy to do. Stupid not to do

2: If you just say you have a problem it's hard to solve, because it can be one of a gazillion things.
If you get an error message. Post exactly what it says.
If it's an invisible error, like an event not behaving like it should. Post with which event the problem is and follow 3.

3: By this I mean, when does the problem occur?
Is it when you start the game? Start a new game? Talk to that dog?
It's pretty important to tell when exactly you get the problem if you get an error message.
If it's an invisible error (see 2.):
You must tell when you notice the event behave being different.
You must also write the event commands of the specific event and any other event where the existence of interaction is evident.
If you have any custom scripts installed, tell about them too.
Some of the things I mentioned here you perhaps shouldn't do as the situation in which problems occurs vary a lot. This can also be the most difficult to answer.


A general rule: The more specific you are, the greater a chance of it being answered properly.
