Solved Adding character broke everything

Question that is answered or resolved.

I have just started with OpenBOR and already I'm living up to my user name.

I downloaded the sample file and the Chronocrash editors tools. I created some sprites for my new character ("Sonia") and copied one of the Player characters (Andrea's) text file to her Char folder. Then I defined some animations and parameters using the aforementioned tools. Finally I edited the models.txt file to change Sonia to the default character and ran OpenBOR to test it.

And now OpenBOR won't even boot. :(

I have no idea what might be wrong besides something about the new character but I'm not sure if it's script problem or a graphics problem or what (and my scripting skills are pretty bad which is why I'm relying on the editor so much at the start) Enclosed is my work file thus far. Can someone maybe take a look at it and see what broke?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi, go in "Logs/OpenBorLog.txt" and it will probably tell you what is wrong

Also it's probably not a good idea to add plenty of things (your post implies you added character, scripts, ...) at the same time when you are starting. When you start it's better to add one big thing at a time and make sure everything is working (by running OpenBOR) before adding more stuff. When you'll be used to how things is working you will be able to modify plenty of things at the same time, but again not a good idea to do that when you start.
 
Thanks Piccolo. That is a HUGE help!

Looks like the character I picked as my base might be a bit buggy. Once I removed all reference to her old graphics, things started running and my character works!
