Jericon sent me over here with my problem:

I'm working on my plug and decided to take for a test run, but Nova crashes whenever I try to load it! Here's a debuglog:

I know the Ships of the Webboard (my developing plug) is causing the problem, as Nova works fine without it, but I'm totally at a loss as to what the problem is. Perhaps the govt resource the log warns about is causing a problem (SWB Plug adds govt 196), or maybe the termination at "loading ship sprites" hints a graphics error.

Any help?

Try deleting your pilot file. See if that works, it does for me

Couldn't you use Duped to check this?

I suppose...

This problem is usually caused by and empty shän. I know, I went through it before.

If there is another cause, then tell me now so I don't freak out later searching for empty shäns.

I ran it through Duped and did find some conflicting files. I fixed them, but the problem persists. I'm FrEaKiN' OUT, MAN!

Maybe some would volunteer to try it on their computer?
