Twice now, while saving Pilgrim's Progress, KevEdit (DOS version, btw) kills itself and corrupts the majority of my boards! -_- Fortunately, I keep regular backups, so there's no permanent damage. Is there some way to stop this? I use the default editor, ZZTAE, and KevEdit, which ever I'm in the mood for, whatever's convienient, or what ever works. Could that have something to do with it? Also, I've asked this before, but could someone tell me where to obtain ZZTAE documentation? Thanks. Oh, and what's ZZTWeb?

You know, Mr. Clecky, I wouldn't put it past Him. He's done better than that for me before. In fact, He's already provided me with some insight: I'm surrounded by idiots. *smug/evil grin*

I agree with everything Moose said.

BUT ON A SERIOUS NOTE (because a thread can't derail until it completes it goal unless it's stupid):

If every editor DESTROYS YOUR GAME then it's not the editor it's the boards themselves, check with ZZTAE (and i believe Kev-Edit) for the board size, once you hit 18k things can screw up beyond 20 and they almost always will.

I FEEL LIKE I'M SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT ZZT HERE.

If a board is too big condense the code, MadTom has nothing to do in his painful existance so he wrote this guide: http://zzt.org/?p=gtsm

Now nobody can call me a shitty owner because I'll ban them.

I admit to being tremendously proud of that article. I even intend to update it with a couple of new tricks I discovered recently!

I'm very surprised to hear that KevEdit DOS is causing these problems, rather than the classic editor and ZZTAE. Both, particularly the former, have given me real headaches with crash and corruption problems. In all the time I've used KevEdit I've known it to crash twice, and each time the world was safely uncorrupted in its last save position.

I'm a furry, eh?! *points Blaster* Ehem. Anyway, only DOS KevEdit has screwed it up. I thought it might be board size myself, but my largest is only 14kb, so I'm sure it's not that. Also, I was just kidding around with Clecky. Relax! ^_^ Anyway, any advice would be appreciated. Also, not to sound repetitive, but where can I get ZZTAE documentation, and what is ZZTWeb?

Well, let's look at the checklist.

1) Is their avatar/username based off a cartoon/videogame character?

2) Do they emote actions on message boards, especially when annoyed? (extra points if it's in the style of above character)

3) Do they use animu animu Image emoticons?

That's three for three. Relax, I'm sure there are plenty of Christian furries for you to hang out with.

I believe ZZTWeb was some crazy help file update of death.

ZZTweb is irrelevant.

ZZTAE help files are irrelevant.

Resistance is futile.
