BUG: Blueprints of Gold Pieces *
New at January 6, 2022

CRASH: Script editing crash *
New at January 6, 2022

Due to deleting script lines. For example, A script has 100 lines. You can see 20 lines, but you can scroll anytime, and if you delete tab from line 78 to line 100, and if you try to go up, it crashes, showing a error message.

Rarity: ★★★
Issue: List bracket code error.

- How does this happen: I do know bracket code. I'll say an example word "cupcake" If you go from a minimal value of 0 and maximum value of 1, or 0-1 in reference, The brackets would write "c" from (c)upkake. If 0-0 it'd be both invalid and ()cupcake. If 7-8, It's also both invalid and "cupcake"( ). If 6-8 It'll also be invalid, because the "e" is 7 and "cupcak(e" ). I experienced this sorts of crashes from this coding app named Sketchware. Analytics: The dev may have created a main list and menu list, and the bottom line is the main line 104. The top line is always main line 3. The dev made the main list to menu list minor flawed. There are maximum of 20 lines in the menu, so your highligher is on menu line 19 = main line 103 as script line 100. Delete 23 lines, then the menu line 1 is set to invalid main line 85/81.

- What is the cause: The highlight is at invalid main line 85. If you try to go up from menu list 1, the minimal menu line would check for main list line 84 (while main line 81 is currently max number), and then it crashes.

- How to fix this issue: Scroll down or exit script.

- Additional note: I may know how to fix this crash. After deleting script lines, there should be a condition if <((min value) + (length of menu list)) greater than (length of main list)>, then set min value of main list ((length of main list) - (length of menu list)) then update the menu list.

I never saw this until now. I'm glad the Gold Pieces Blueprint issue is at least acknowledged by someone other than me. Thanks for that. I'll follow the arrow in my next run.:steamthumbsup:

Solution B worked perfectly! Installing XNA Framework fixed it thanks a ton!

But a bigger brain means more dumber reactions, realistically. Neurons in our brain provides data and has electricity sources to function. Electricity also moves at a speed of light

I might recommend doing solution A2 (Which Solutions I've made are choices); Just simply go to Total Miner (Right click on that title) > Properties > Local Files > Browse. This would take you to the Total Miner folder. If you don't see the file exactly says "game". The smart choice is right click in that folder > New > Text document. Simply name that text document exact "game" and there! back in the Steam window, just Launch the game and see what happens.
