Quote: **SAPIEN**
Q & A:

Q: What is a Sapien error?
A: Whenever you go to open Sapien and it locks up, followed by closing, there's an Error.

Q: How do I get the error information?
A: You will find it at the end of debug.txt (hover to show directory in status bar)

Q: What's the usual cause of an error?
A: You probably have a incorrect reference in, or corrupt tags.



Posting For Help

In case of Sapien errors, you should make a thread containing the following format.
1. Everything you may know about the error
2. the latest entry in the debug.txt
3. Wrap the entry in CODE tags to save excessive scrolling

**TOOL**

Q & A:

Q: What is tool?
A: Tool is generally the last program used. It compiles everything you have made. Whether it be a BSP, bitmaps, models, or even the final map.

Q: Why does Tool give errors?
A: Tool doesn't screw up, the user does. Whatever it is you are attempting to compile, is not correct.

Q: Where can I find the error info?
A: Tool will tell you what's wrong in 2 places. One, in it's window. two, in debug.txt of course.


Posting For Help

Any time you have an error, you can count on needing the debug.
Include the following in your thread:
1. everything tool said
2. Latest entry in debug.txt
3. What you were attempting to do
4. Wrap the error information in CODE tags to save on scrolling

**GUERILLA**

Q & A:

Q: What is guerilla needed for?
A: Guerilla is essentially an all-forms version of Sapien, and is where you will do most of your tag creating/editing.

Q: How do I know if there's an error?
A: Open the tag, and look in the boxes for red text. Anywhere there is red text, is a problem. Most likely incorrect reference, files, or filenames.


Posting For Help

There's really no guideline to posting guerilla errors. Its usually just because you can't fix something. Just be sure to include the following.
1. Give us information on what this tag is, and what you are trying.
2. Give us at least 2 screenshots of the tag opened in guerilla.
3. Please be as descriptive on the problem as possible, we can't help otherwise.
