Another "My Game Crashed" Topic

[ErikaFuzzbottom]

I meant to save after doing that Equip Any Weapon trick. Except I did it wrong and changed the person's class to the wrong class before equipping the weapon, went back to the weapon's page to see if the person was no longer on the weapon's list (because I couldn't equip that weapon), where it gave me an error about not in the database and defaulting, changed the person's class back to what could hold that weapon, and proceeded to go into that weapon's data, where the game froze.

I spent 2 hours working on my game. I never saved it. Had the greatest intro the world had ever seen, too.

On the plus side, I no longer have to fiddle around with the portraits' positions again (dang, must've taken 5 times placing them in the right spots, which is a lot considering that meant editing 20 places where the portraits were changed each time). That's pretty much where most of my work was spent.

I've never had any problems with memory cards after that first (third-party) memory card I got for the PS1, so no worries there. And lucky for me (I guess), it only took me maybe an hour to get back to where I was. And now I've got a dog who can wield a weapon called "BECAUSE I CAN". (Caps not meant to emphasize the name in this case.)

I remember one time my copy was having trouble with the music and sounds (It'd just play the same split-second portion over and over again). It froze like that, too. I think it may have had something to do with my copy being near the heat exhaust for my PS2. Fortunately, I had most of my work saved before it froze, and it hasn't happened again.

As Valk said, save after each major portion of work, as often as possible.

Yup, been doing that. And I've made lots of progress since then. No cutscenes yet, but I've got the layout of the town (outdoors) done, minus townspeople, I've got the first dungeon's paths done, and I've got 88 items with most being finished. I'm having a blast making this thing.
